Won this cool little booklet on eBay... It's a salesman book for the American Tobacco Company for 1912, listing the brands and prices they produced. I've never seen anything like it before.

Jon C - fascinating booklet!

Josh - great eye appeal for the grade - nice pickup!

That's a terrific piece Jon. Nice way to start the year!

Thank you for the kind words. I'll be curious to see the other brands listed when thr book arrives. It appears cigarettes are listed alphabetically. If there ate any other neat tidbits in it when it arrives, I'll post some photos.

great pickup Josh, one of my fav. Young cards.

Jon, that booklet is killer! Nice find.

Josh
 

e94 complete in purple is going to be some sight. I would love to see the scans. Good job.

Jon that is a really cool piece.

Josh, if you don't mind me asking, where did you find the E94 purple Young? I've been looking for a nice low grade one for a long time with no success. Unlike you, I'm not trying to complete the set. It's just one of my favorite cards.

Tim,

Beautiful Fatima!

The Young was on ebay awhile back. There's also some other E94 Young's listed as well.

1917 Rose & Co. Chicago Fabric Sample Book w/ Babe Ruth
 

1917 Rose & Co. Chicago Fabric Sample Book w/ Babe Ruth

Hey Paul, as noted above, it was listed on ebay with a very high BIN. Fortunately for me, the seller accepted what I thought was a very reasonable offer for the card.

I guess I need to learn to ask sellers to take a lower offer!

The only known baseball card of siamese twins. This card has worked it's way through a few board members over the past couple years, but will remain in my man cave for the foreseeable future.

The shift is on!
 

Anthony,

Nice pickup!

This registration shift happened way before the shift on Big Papi.

Happy New Year,

Patrick

A couple of additions
 

Late year pickups just arrived.

If its not an obsession, I don't know what to call it...

I picked these 2 up this week... and I love them!

Thank You, Tom and Thank You for the bonus autograph:

My first venture outside of Prewar tobacco or Goudey cards.
I hear this is a D329 Weil Baking card. Looked like a good way to spend $12.00, as I start working on some cards from the "Big Easy".

I also added a couple T206's that I really like, because I can't help myself!
Let me know if you happen to know the location of an American Beauty Eddie Collins
Happy New Year,
Bob

Chick Gandil
 

Doggone it Josh, I thought I had a steal on that violet Young :(
I guess I would have if it hadn't been violet...

tbob if it makes u feel any better i offered the seller what essentially amounted to $150 extra in cash and i was willing to drive up 40 min and pick it up a couple months back but i guess he really wanted jk to finish that violet set...

January has been good :)

Paul,
The purple Young is very tough. In 10+ years of watching E94s, I have only seen three of them including the one Josh just got.

Nice pickup Josh.
JimB

Thanks Jim. I feel pretty fortunate to land this one (of course, there is one other out there that I still drool over :))

A few CJ's the C. Wagner is raw and appears to be slightly trimmed

Seth
 

Seth I love the gandil miscut! I try to pick up T206 miscuts every once and a while.

Here is my latest on my T206 quest:

Sylveanus Augustus "Vean" Gregg. Cool.

Chipping away at the all time Cardinals.

Picked this up last week for my SGC Registry Set.

Comiskey-

Thank you very much! I think it is very unique and I am especially attracted by the EPDG back! I can't wait to get it in!

Adding some diversity to my collection...

Dec/Jan pick-ups
 

I was kinda busy the end of this year, I doubt this year will hold the same.

I picked up...
 

a 21 year old and it wasn't cardboard......damn, just woke up from my dream

Thank You, David and Thank You, Tom:

To fellow Cardinal collector David W.
 

Nice pickups, I did not recognize the card between Houser and Lavan in the top row. What is it and who is it ? thanks, Ed

It's Les Bell, pictured on a strip card (W 560) as a Brave.

I'm not sure if Les Bell has a card as a Cardinal, so I cheated
and picked him up as a Brave, as he rarely has any cards at
all on E Bay.

Haven't been able to post any new stuff for a while, so it's nice to share these two. Thanks to Quan for the Foxx, and Dave (Bagger) for the Hubbell.
