Picked up these 2 t210s recently

Nice card Phil!

Jack, I dont know much about that set, but sounds like you got quite a rarity. Congrats

Like those Transfer Stamps Jim.

Never seen them very interesting

Thanks Jeff!!! I like the obscure stuff!

Thanks Ryan, love the 21 Exhibits.

From the BST...better than 1.5 imo....

That's a great looking Mono!

I've made some good progress on T207s over the last month, including some HOFers and a couple tougher cards/variations. All of the cards in the first group are Recruits; the bottom five are the rarer backs, including two upside-down reverse backs that I posted in another thread a couple days ago.

Been after this one for a long time and finally got one. To me, this and the 1914/15 Cracker Jack Cobb, are two of the most beautiful baseball cards ever made.

Very Nice Pickup Rich.

I was one of the under bidders but glad you got it

Great card Matt, I agree with you on the 14CJ Cobb.

A well loved Cobb…will be looking for my upgrade soon :!

Never thought I'd have the opportunity to add this card to my collection, its been on the list for a long time.

Fantastic Marsans Phil! That's a great addition to your collection my friend.

Nice to see you pick up a green Cobb Waz! Great one.

Thanks Andy,
Got lucky on this one. There's only 8 total graded between the two companies.
Hope you and the family are well.

Great cards everyone. Phil, nicely done on the Marsans. Beautiful card!

Another portrait in for my HOF run.

Thanks Tony, amazing color and registration on your McGraw, congratulations.

Just arrived this week.

Love the look of this card

nice lincoln plank!!

a fun pickup below:

1916 Boston Red Sox Cabinet Photo

Where did you find the Ruth photo? Beautiful.

Very nice pickup Jeff, congrats.

1916
 

Jeff:

What is the history of the 1916 cabinet? Same image and backing layout as the Stag Sweater advertising piece but different coloring.

Some really great pickups, but a few specific shout-outs:

DJ -enjoy that Plank, he used to be mine. Awesome and super rare card. I am glad you own it.

Scott - great T206 HOF combos and good looking to boot.

Jeff - as usual, great taste, great pick up. Congrats! Can never go wrong with Ruth on the Red Sox, especially a piece as rare as that

Phil - great month so far, nice gets

Tony - great looking card per usual, except this one has the correct grade associated with it. Are you going to pop that out? BTW, please dont tell me that came from a former and notorious Net54 member??!!

Hi Ryan. Thank you my friend.

Maybe one day if Psa gets their SH!# together I may consider cracking Mr. Mcgraw. For now he will remain in the black slab.

In regards to the cards origin, nope definitely not a K. Mize purchase whom I believe you are referencing. If I were dying of thirst on a deserted island and he was there giving away free water, I’d still pass :)

Thanks Ryan! I’ve been on tilt for a Mordecai Cubs Sov since selling one years ago. Super happy to add it.

These are all October scoops but finally got the last one in today. Two are courtesy of the honorable folks here.

Hi

Thanks Ryan. Slow and Steady but I try to stay focused and stay the course.

And Ryan is Right it is another great month of items that our team at this forum that keeps collecting.

Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the month brings

Congrats to Chad from the other Chad. Another one I was bidding on but moved off of late, I'm glad to see it went to a fellow net54 member and WaJo collector. Here's where my attention went.

Awesome Ruth! Always been a favorite of mine. Congrats Pete!

Fantastic month already for the Net54 community.

A Ruth I could afford. Not from a kinetoscope which could run a moving picture, but I can't recall the term for the type of scope you could drop a penny in in the 1920s and use a crank to flip through a wheel of individual pictures in an arcade. It would not surprise me if this was from one of those machines which are still used at Kennywood Amusement Park in Pittsburgh and that this copy was from a machine in Kennywood's children's arcade. 1:17 a.m. EST Mutoscope picture.

Thanks Chad and nice pick-up yourself. Ironically I did the same exact thing on your new T205. I guess us Chad's think alike.

I’ve been chasing old King Kellly for a long time… he’s on his way to his new home soon

Congrats, Jeff! I'm 3/10 on this subset but completing it may take awhile...

This arrived in the mail last week.

Very nice Rob, congrats.

Took a break from my 52 High Numbers pursuit to pick up my first Babe, right here on Net54. A PSA 1, but a card near the top of my want list for as long as I've wanted cards. I could care less about the condition and I love it.

.

Great pickup Chris

Very nice first Ruth Card.

Thanks, Jeff. Feels really great having the Babe in my collection now. Every time I see one of your posts I go and marvel at your Ruth’s and Jackson’s. It’s like going to a museum!

The Globe
 

Nice ones Brian...Jerry

Thank you, Jerry.

7/8" catcher position pin
 

Couldn't pass up this mint catcher position pin!

Patrick

Technically got them in hand this month -- just wanted to post them with better photos. Added the BL, CB, Hindu, and Young recently as well.

Great cards Josh! Congrats on the pickups! We still need to grab lunch or beers sometime!

Bill

I got this card in the mail today. It has great color and eye appeal in hand.

Won in the Sterling Sports Auction

Congrats Ben. Great eye appeal for sure! IMO it's one of the most beautiful cards in the set.

A few steps closer in my quest to finish the T3 set this week.

Very very nice Chad

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate it. Thanks to Tony @ TonyeTrade, where all of these latest Turkey Reds came from. Fair prices, quick delivery, clear scans & cards arrive exactly as shown. IMO, he's among the very best online dealers. That being said, don't go there looking for T3s, I don't need the competition! ;)

Picked this up to finish my T200 Fatima set

Congrats Jay on the pick up and finishing your set.

What set are you after next?

Tony @TonyeTrade has some real nice stuff and would not mind having some of those as part of my collection (long turn)
As for competition I am currently not a SET collector but a specific card collector so I am not a competitor of yours.

Thanks, Jeff. Always a great feeling to complete something.

A lot of sets in progress already including T202, T205, 1927 Exhibits and 1934 Goudeys pre-war. I'm also working on a number of post-war sets including Leafs (down to Doby, Newhouser and Paige so may not make any progress for a while), 1951 Topps All-Stars, 1953 Canadian Exhibits (just need green tint Easter and Raschi and red tint Lowery for the master set) and 1971 Topps Greatest Moments (need Perez, Bench and Murcer). Also, I just picked up large lots of lower grade 1961 and 1963 Post sets so I'll be looking to fill those in as well.

I bought a decent amount of T3s from TonyeTrade as well. I don't know where he keeps finding them, but he always seems to have a good selection available.

Congrats on finishing the set Jay!

Some really nice stuff so far this month, guys. Jim, those transfers are amazing; I have a few cards with them 'stuck' on the backs but I do not recall seeing the actual transfers themselves. I wonder if they were the same mfg as this set:

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...er%20sheet.jpg

Meantime, here's a fun one. As some know I am obsessed (in a good way) with some of the clothing-related issues, especially Adam Hats premiums and Billy Taub premiums, postcards and signs. I haven't found an Adam Hats this year but I did find a new Taub piece:

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...20sign%201.JPG

It is about 13" wide and 10" tall, on thick cardboard with an easel back, and was meant to stand up on the counter. Ruth, DiMaggio (2x), Dean, Terry, Lazzeri, Dickey, Crosetti, even a Jimmy Braddock. I had not seen this one before until it popped up on eBay but I had seen some of the images. The Ruth, for example, is from a 1932 sports dinner piece that can be found as a giant wall sign or a postcard.

This one is from a while ago but seems appropriate:

Prewar Ruth premiums: I cannot have too many...

though not a card
 

town in IA Billy Sunday and Cap Anson were born. Wife upon hearing reason for the pickup: you're going to that level now?!

My monster pick up of the month. Working on his last two Goudeys and e121 series of 120s now.

Congrats Josh.

That is a great Ruth Card and great eye appeal

Thanks a million. You’ve got a incredible collection.

very nice., Congrats....

Thanks Leon. I just missed your Goudey Green as I was waiting on a payment for another card. Bummer.

Picked up this cool remnants of name on top O’Hara

Hi Adam, I was the one who sold Jim those transfer stamps, and they do belong to the same set as the boxing stamps with Jack Dempsey that you are showing. I originally had a few of those same boxing stamps also (which I sold already sold) when I bought the lot a few years ago.

Saw this. Wasn’t in my usual low budget, but couldn’t avoid the coolness. Eddie Collins T205 entombed in a vintage paperweight . ⚾️

That is super cool.

I like this one...just in hand

https://luckeycards.com/t206j.jpg

Congrats Leon- That is as good as it gets for a T206. True original.

Congrats Leon, love the fat borders.

Josh, congrats on the Babe. Big card there my friend!

Leon, that fat bordered T206 fits your collection well.
