Love that he is IDed only as "Matty." Well, that takes care of the frequent problem of misspelling Mathewson as Matthewson.

E94 Magee and E121 Baker
 

Picked these up recently in a trade.....

tintype
 

tintype

I received this card in the mail yesterday. It came from another collector as a gift and it floored me when I opened the package. Not only does it fit my T206 HOFer collection, but it has a double back stamp on it as well! There really are some generous true collectors out there that will help out another collector just to help, not expecting anything in return. I'll be paying this forward for a while!

The scans suck because my scanner doesn't pick up slabbed cards too well. And these BVG holders are thick! This is the first one I've ever had in hand and now I understand when you guys talk about them being the most protective slabs out there.

Thanks,

AndyH

Nice CJ. And a Cubbie to boot. Congrats.

AndyH

I appreciate hearing this.

Like hearing POSITIVE stories in this negative laden world. Reassures me there are friends, unselfish, good intending people out there. To give and not expect to receive in return. A message dating back 2000 years

Hey Joe.

I couldn't agree more. I was absolutely floored when I open this card. And like I said, I will definitely be paying it forward. I love this aspect of our hobby. There truly are great people in it.

Glad Walt found a good home.

WOW! Very nice! Where did you find this card?? I love it!

. Sorry. I'm not sure why this posted three times.

Derek, Thanks. I was happy to get it as I don't see these offered very often. It was on ebay a couple of weeks ago.

My pleasure - I love that card!

First one of these, needless to say. Backs are very cool, too.

Just one so far

Couple more e98s
 

Couple more for the set.

you sure those e98's are real?

I said the same thing to myself....

Yes, they are real. They would grade authentic. I know Steve F. and McQueen both have cards that were handcut off the same sheet. The backs have handwriting on them. The Young was soaked to remove some gunk off of it, and the McGraw is trimmed. Perhaps Brian can post a couple of his on here. I also used my iPad to take the pic, and it's rather grainy.

Thanks to Andy C. and Brian M for some great trades...

Mac

My first '14 CJ. Buy the card, not the holder. The line behind his head is a lot less prominent in hand.

Wow, that's as nice of a Johnson portrait as I've seen - beautiful!

I too, picked up one of these. Already had a nicer one, but got this for the partial sheet number on the back bottom:

Wow John....nicest Johnson I've seen :o

Scott...classic HOF with a rare marking...love it :cool:

Thanks Scott, very cool partial 30!

"Wow John....nicest Johnson I've seen"

I've waited my whole life for somebody to say that to me... and it had to be you Chris. :)

E98s are definitely real. Young is soaked probably, but the handcut quality to it is super cool.

I would've wondered too if I hadn't seen that particular card before. The scan kind of made it look fake as well.

Nice pickups!

Rob

Man John, that WJ really is something special. Congrats!

my first Cy Young...scratch that one off the WANT LIST


Todd

Big card Todd and very presentable.

Hey Mac. Nice pick up with the Kotton Cobby man. That's my favorite Cobb pose.

holy crap mr. wonka! that is one of the coolest walter johnson portraits I have ever seen, especially with a unique back. it is funny to me, it is only graded a 5.5, but when i was a kid that card is "mint"!

Wow John! That Johnson portrait is a show-stopper!!! :eek:
JimB

Thanks to my Net54 buddy Martin for letting it go!

Some new ones

Good day!
 

Not only did I receive this T206, my wife bought me a VIP meet and greet with Don Mattingly and Mark Teixeria that came with Steiner Authenticated autographed ball by Mattingly that was also in the mail today..:D

I get to meet with Texixeria on Dec. 15 take some pics and ask some questions then sit in on an interview.

I meet Mattingly sometime in Jan. (TBD)!!!!

Chris - that's how you're supposed to say it :)

I like to think I made him blush a little....but duly noted :)

nice pickups guys! Especially like the 1914 CJ Shulte and tintype. And congrats to the collector who scored his first 1914 CJ!
