Jim- I still have to shake my head when I see a card of such high quality graded a Poor. It's a travesty.

Jeff, great postcards!

Another Goudey

Mike and Jim--Two beautiful Old Judge cards. BTW Mike--there is a new bio of Roger Connor out that is very good.

Rhys--Great cards!

Rhett WOW!!!!! What an amazing haul. Can I ask where they came from and was there any other items with them?

Trevor

Love the Speaker, Jeff.

Amazing photo, Brian. That's a winner for sure. Amazing composition on that shot.

Rhett, incredible to see all those in one shot.

Can't believe the quality in the first day of February. Looks like it's going to be a good month!!!

You need to trot out that Patton into the "Best Looking Poor" thread.

Nice Red's !
 

Tremendous sample size Rhett ! Congrats !!

Thank You, Roderick and Thank You, Joe:

Added (11) different T202's to my collection in the last few weeks including the ones shown below. Thanks to Ryan and Al!

A beater, but there is always room for a Mathewson in ones collection regardless of condition!

Thanks for the Deal Al!

Nice pickups everyone. Beautiful Wags Pete!

HOLY MOLY I got a Hal Chase autograph!
 

I am pretty excited to be getting this

2 Cobb items I'm planning to frame together. Probably would look good with a green portrait T206 between them.

Pete- congrats! I bid on the card earlier but forgot all about it with all the other auctions going on. The blue background E94 Wagner is a toughie. You got a great buy even with the skinned back, they just don't come around very often.

Picked up this sweet Grover Alexander House Of David PC from Exhibitman. Thanks for the great postcard!

Pretty nice "two"!

Fantastic Cobby display Scott. Congrat's!!

This was actually a fair BIN on the Bay.

This card was just how I like them, it was cheap.

thanks to Adam & James.

since it appears that T206 printing errors are thru the roof right now...thought i'd branch out. IMO, there's no reason why T205 printing errors shouldn't be just as valuable.

Thanks, Tony - it's not built yet, but that's the image I'm taking to the framer. She is sooooooo hot, and always has a better idea than mine :)

With new corrected SGC label
 

Just back from SGC with new corrected label.

Thank you Pete for the nice trade.

Here's a few

[ATTACH][/ATTACH]After reading K.O's article on T206 Resource about the unreleased T206 Southern League Proof cards I was drawn to one in particular,the Danville Fleet Mayberry Pitching Pose.A quick search showed he had a T210-2,what luck.It took about 1 week for one to pop up on Ebay via Joe's Vintage.Im glad to add this card and wish the T206 made it into production.

... 199... 200!
 

I'm now at 200 T206 SGC40s. Thanks to Lee for the Crawford and Jason for the Phelps. I'm extremely excited to reach this milestone and couldn't have done it without help from all here on N54... my buyers, my traders and the BST sellers. While I don't have most of the "big dogs," I do have a BeanTown Mathewson Dark Cap, 16 other HOFs and 10 SL. With your help (and a whole lot of selling), I've managed to get these 200 cards for an average of (wait for it)... $6.45 per card.

Great job and congrats Erick.Im envious of that per card average.Thats amazing.

Good job Rob on Tolstois. Keep it going

Also, good job Erick.

Erick,

An amazing feat! I am sure you have put in a lot of work to pull those 200 off! Been great trading, buying and selling with you. You have been a class act all the way!

Best,

Andy
