Nice pc Phil! Not as cool as a t206 but still pretty cool.

Cool photo. The two guys on each end don't look like they're old enough to shave, let alone smoke a pipe. Looks like "Little Willie" is puffing on one too.

Excuse the # of uploads. As I mentioned in another post, I absolutely love the T202's combination of portrait art and real-life action shots. The Delong's have great colors for the era and I wanted a card of Chick that showed off his sexy glasses. I'm not in love with any of Joe Cronin's or Lloyd Waner's cards so I went with ones that have solid portraits and were cheap. I plan on eventually getting Paul Waner's same Goudey Wide Pen and putting them next to each other in my display.

Thanks for looking and let's see everyone else's adds!

Starting a new focus
 

Another new n172

Just started the monster! Thanks to Lee from Sterling, Michael, a couple EBay purchases, and my Secret Santa for starting me off o n the journey!

My first miscut T206. Eddie Phelps, St. Louis Nat'l. If you look on the right you can see the red from the next card. Unfortunately there aren't any printers marker or the beginning of the other card on the front.

Rich

Great start to the year guys.

I agree Chris

Jimi got bit by The Monster and bit The Monster back!

Monster Number from 0 to 7 with a HOFer in one post!

Nice pick-ups everyone!


Jantz

Jantz,

With my e98 set down to only 6 cards (and with any luck, down to 5 this week), I'm looking at the Monster as my next project. (At least a project I will take more seriously than others). :)

Jimi

Thanks Jamie!

No idea why images are sideways...but you get the gist. ;)

Nice One
 

Phil - very nice pick-up!

Thanks, Derek, one of the earlier Johnny Mize images as well.

1st pickup of the new year and a real nice one for my humble collection... haven't got it yet but its on the way..

What a great card! The Ganley card is hard enough as a common, now add the Hindu back! Congrats :)

Not yet in hand, but upon arrival this will be my first pick-up of 2013:

Thank You, David (admittedly off topic, but it's a Pittsburgh boy done good. Postcard is larger than the Patersons and their containers.) and Thank You, David:

Love the William Paterson cards, Brian. I'm glad that you posted the Pennock, it proves what I have believed for a long time (and I believe that I am not alone) that they could not have been issued in 1922 or at least not 1922 only as Pennock did not join the Yankees until 1923 as per Baseball-Reference.com:

January 30, 1923: Traded by the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees for Norm McMillan, George Murray, Camp Skinner and $50,000.

A couple of guys named Eddie
 

I don't collect this set, but this one was just too much fun to pass up.

I saw that Plank. One of my favorites. The miscut only makes it better. Congrats :)

A few from this month, one with a crop mark.

Pat, that is really interesting. My McGraw, PSA 4, has the same crop mark in the same exact place. Interesting stuff. Also, nice Hindu! I have the same combo as well!

Picked this up from runscott via ebay. This is one of my favorite cards - I love the pose. Looking forward to the card's arrival!

First pickup of the year
 

Kevin Savage pickup; EPDG #48

Nice Wazoo card. ;) :D

Hahahahaha +1 to that. ;)

I saw that and thought about giving chase but I had anothe big deal in the works that I needed more. Nice pick!

Favorite pickup so far!
 

It's a good day when you pick up 10 e98s that you need in one swoop! :)

I also saw that as well and was hoping it would slip under the radar. Congrats on the pick up!

dj

That was from 'Johnson Night' :) (shipped yesterday)

#71. Thanks, Brian.

Well before I saw this card I didn't even know Chech had a Cleveland card, yay for every checklist being wrong. Thanks Jerry

This one isn't here yet but very happy to have it as I wait for the 1924 Diaz of Coveleski to become available one day...Thanks Ryan

For the 206 room...
 

A new addition for a future T206 room...

19th century baseball display die cut
 

In the "it doesn't have to be a baseball card to be cool" category comes this very large (11" x 5") and colorful die cut that I picked up from Lew Lipset's great sale page on his website. Note the "Base Ball Match This Afternoon / Polo Grounds / New York vs. Cleveland" mock advertising. The condition is extraordinary for a piece so delicate.

Gary

Nice

My first B18 Blanket:

After seeing the Blanket in person, I've decided this will be my first prewar (or any era) card set. Thanks to one of our fellow board members for giving me a great deal on several others to get the set going.

I probably shouldn't post this here but I picked up and completed my N76 Great Americans SET Hawthorne was my last need and my friend David Levin saw my post on the Non-sport side and completed my set for me!!


Thank you David and a very Happy New Year!

Dan Mckee

I've posted this enough already but it arrived tonight and noticed they added "RED" to the flip after the auction, the Geyer in the BST has this as well.

My thoughts/wish exactly, but starting to realize not much misses the radar here

Picked up this 1950's J.J.K. Copyart Postcard of Jackie Robinson from the latest Henry Yee auction.

Thanks to Jamie!
