These back-damaged beauties arrived just before the New Year ...

Isn't it January 2012? :)

Been wanting one of these for awhile.

Ended the year or started the year off strong?? Either way thanks to a fellow board member I added these 5..:D

Love it, Ken. Still need to add one of those to my collection.

Tough OJ Manager card...

That guy actually looks like an Old Judge

Waiting upon my return
 

This one was waiting for me when I returned home from the holidays. A T206 name on top just like I like 'em

Or Terry Bradshaw

One More Wagner to Go!
 

Thanks to a fellow board member for selling me this Orange Background Wagner! Just the Blue one to go! Please see my Want List of E98s on the BST, and if you are in need of $ for the New Year's upcoming auctions, please consider selling me one of the ones that I need if you have one. Thanks for looking! Tim Kindler

Loved the Kalamazoo Bats earlier in the thread.

Arrived on New Year's Eve! Sorry, Line is from scanner???

Tim,

Congrats on the Wags! That is a huge one off the list! Hope your BST post yields you a few more. Hope all is well friend.

Best,

Andy

great Wags, but man you got to get a new scanner!

Thanks Andy!
 

Andy,
Thanks for the endorsement on my E98s. Best wishes on your continuing of TAMING THE MONSTER! :eek: I can't wait to see your set all finished!

My compliments to Vegas-Guy too onthose T206 beauties earlier in the thread!

Take Care my Friend!
Tim

Thanks Jeff! And yes, my 2003 scanner has seen better days!

Erick I was hoping you got him, how about the Pickering?

His nickname is "bald"? Must have been a really good sport. I wonder if they called him that to his face? Looks kind of like Robert Duvall to me.

Thanks Chris...
 

Thanks, Chris. The Pickering didn't "make the cut" for me... I'm getting very picky.

Getting closer on the T206s

Not the world's cleanest example but a nice image.

That's a beauty of a one... nice pickup!

Started the year with a few cheap beaters..Despite it's obvious flaws, I'm kinda excited about the WaJo.

Tim- Nice Wagner! As I recall the orange background Honus was the toughest of the 4 for me to find. Greens and blues are out there, red was tough but orange for this player was very hard to find.

I picked up this bat, a HOF sidewritten 1921 Bill (Wm) McKechnie Gamer. During bidding i began research, because at first it didnt make sense why McKechnie would have a gamer in 1921, as to he didnt start coaching Pittsburgh till 1923, well the Block Letter Lober, played in the AA (milwaukee) , and sure enough research showed Bill played that very same year in AA (Minneapolis) .....nice HOF gamer at a steal....

I just recently decided to start up my Addie Joss collection, again. When I saw 'Skydash' on the flip, I knew I must have it. One of the most fascinating threads of all time, and now I own, and cherish, a small part of it...

I was not sure where to put this since it is a card and a photo.
Jimmy Foxx Photo stamped 1938 and his 39-46 Exhibit card

"C" Sisler and his 41,000 hits
 

I have been looking for a good price on this one for a while and happened to find one a couple weeks ago. Finally got it scanned yesterday.

here's one

Gotta love the "English" stats for Sisler.
I always thought he hit .420 in 1922, but they are right: 246/586 = .41979.
:rolleyes:

the other weird thing about that card is, why is Babe Ruth catching and why is Joe Jackson on deck?

Is there a baseball monument in Washington?

Hank aaron and friends!
 

I love this Aaron and it looks so much nicer w/o my glasses!

Thanks to Brian for this one:

Jeff- nice Chase stamps.
Finally splurged and bought the toughest pin in the P2 Sweet Caporal set.

Finally...sort of
 

Thanks to Brian P for the heads up on this auction. Been wanting one for years and years without the $1,000+ price tag. While just "slightly" trimmed, it is a great placeholder. :) - Bill

I'm looking for e cards more and more.

Nice job!

Love the Shag!
Must have shared a stylist with Mel Kiper, Jr.

A '36 Goudey Wide pen Mel Harder and a few '48 Magic Photo's for my Cleveland collection. Actually, the Jesse Owens fits my Cleveland collection as well, just not baseball, or pre-war(sorry).

Bill:
Congrats on the Zeenut Halla! Such a great pose.
