New here and just wanted to say hey!
 

New to the forum and just wanted to say hello. I've already talked to some people about some of the cards I collect and have for sale. Seems like a great place to get info, debate and buy/trade cards.

Look forward to using the forums. Thanks for having me.

welcome to the board......

Hey!!!:)

Welcome to the forum, Brad. Have fun!!!

Aloha!

Thanks guys!

Welcome aboard Brad!!

Welcome Brad and enjoy!!

hey!

figured I would post a few of my cards here to show you guys what I've got and what I'm interested in. As you can see I like all kinds. lol

Forgot this one it's sort of cool as well.

I have never seen that Ruth card before, you know any info on it? Pretty cool.

Hi Steve and thanks!

It is pretty cool and I've only seen 2 cards like this. Its a Tabacos de Angola Sociedad Industrial from Portugal. It was a set in 1927/28 for sports around the world. There are about 20 Baseball cards with 3 different Babe Ruth's, Ty Cobb, McGraw and others. I have 8 total of these cards but this is my favorite just by the way Gehrig is running around Ruth, he looks to be having some fun.

Also what makes this one uniques is the back list Jack Delaney instead of Ruth and Gehrig like the other two that I've seen.

Hope I helped.
Brad

Yea deff a fun card, I just googled it, and found one like it but different, and of course with a different number on it. Kind of reminds me of a flip book page I have - but Must of been a set of these cards. Real cool and Interesting.

They are tobacco cards from Portugal. There were a set of I think 120 total cards and are the sister set to the La Morena cards. Very hard to come by. I've been collecting these now for 3 years and have found 8 total.

Was this set all with Babe Ruth on every card? or all different players?

There were 20 different baseball players/team and action with Ruth in like four of the 20. The others were soccer, track, fencing, etc..

The ones I have right now are:
Ruth/Gehrig (posted)
Brooklyn Robins vs St Louis Cardinals (action shot)
Ullman (New York)
Earl Webb
Washington Team photo in dugout
John Mcgraw

And I miss counted I have six not eight cards. lol

Hi Brad, glad to see you on the board!

Hi Brad.
I see you got the Mantle Red Heart delivered o.k.
Glad you love it! and found your way back to Net54 again.

Hi Gary and Chris. Thanks for having me here guys. Its a great place!

Chris, I just sent it in to be graded and I do love it. Being an artist the color really pops on the card. Don't really care how it grades I just want to keep it from being damaged but can't see it grading below a 5 it's really sharp and thanks again.

Chris along with your Red Heart this was my other card I just sent in for grading.

Welcome
 

Try on a T206:D

LOL! I may do that again. I've had a few t206's in the past there are some beautiful cards in that set.
