Still looking
 

T206 Shag Shaughnessy in high grade....

Great thread Dan, in the true spirit of Bruce the collector.

1912 Claude Berry Zeenut
 

I have been looking to finish my run of catchers in the 1912 set but his card rarely shows up unless in a large lot. 1912 Zeenuts have all but dried up.

While I have waited probably 6-7 years for this card, I have picked up both a canceled and unpunched Berry Home Run Kisses cards and a Berry Obak Cabinet.

The search continues....

Doesn't exist
 

Green background Cobb portrait T206 with Howe's stamp on the back in a high three-figure price (the most I would ever be able to convince the wife that a baseball card is worth). There are two out there, but not in the three-figures.

Never had any dealings with Bruce(s), but did find his battles here entertaining if not intriguing. RIP.

My world's toughest want list includes:


e97(COLOR) Nichols, Phil variation

Dots Miller Big Glove fronts with the following backs: E92 Nadja, T216 Kotton, VE, Crofts Candy Blue, E105, D303 Mother's Bread.

In Bruce's honour...please help me!!!!!!!

T216 Wagner with Virginia Extra back. (as far as I am aware, none have ever been confirmed)

1911 Zeenut Fullerton.

RIP Bruce.

1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson Throwing in any grade.

RIP Bruce - never had any dealings with you, but I hope you've found peace.

Any 4 card '41 Playball strip above #50.

RIP Bruce. Had nothing but informative, respectful exchanges with him. Definitely a unique character that will be missed.

+1

E90-1 Tris Speaker in Auth - 1.5 grade with nice eye appeal. HELP!

RIP Bruce.

Sad
 

R311 American League All Stars no creases or damage.
Condolences Barry.
RIP Bruce.
I miss his posts, by far the most entertaining net54 member ever.
From what I have heard he had a museum quality collection. Any idea if it will go to some sort of museum for viewing?

Not sure if it exists, but:

RPPC of the 1911 Kansas City,Kansas Giants

Rossman-Thomas
 

I really want this card (Rossman-Thomas):

1934 R304 Al Demaree #2 Babe Ruth

My Toughest Want List
 

Gary,

I was reading the 1991 Sotheby's Copeland catalog the other day, and according to their write-up, only one example exists of the Ruth and Gehrig.

I don't follow that set, but I'm not sure if others have surfaced since then.

Best of luck in your search.

I would like a Type 1 E-107 of Nap Lajoie, but I don't think that will happen. I will settle for a really nice Type 2.

Tony

N172 Kid Madden, leaning on rock pose. I've only seen one for sale, at the 2003 National and I regret passing it up for the dumbest reason. There was one a few years back in a huge lot in some major auction, other than that, nothing in the ten years since the day I passed it up. I have a Player's League card I'll trade for one....anyone? :)

Two RARITIES for my master set completion:

1) 1939 World Wide Gum V351 Ted Williams
2) 1939 Playball SAMPLE #92 Ted Williams

Texas Tommy Zach Wheat.

Want list
 

E90-1 Tris Speaker in any condition....

Great tribute thread....he Is surely smiling from above....

T206
Front upside down ghost.
Hofman proof.
Chase Drum.

I am still on the hunt for a D351 or D355.......though they won't be in high grade I know Bruce would want me to find them. RIP Bruces....

Thanks, Tony. A few more of the #4 Ruth and Gehrig have surfaced since then, and I have a copy of both. However, according to oldcardboard, there should be a #2 Ruth that also exists in a slightly different pose, and there should at least be one known but without the tab at the bottom.

Hage's Dairy Tommy Bridges

W600 Lobert

W600 Burkett and Punch Pete Hill.

Any E107s of Cincinnati players.



God rest your soul, Mr. Dorskind.

Not baseball, but my toughest want list would be T218s (Champion Athletes and Prizefighters) with Tolstoi backs. I have a dozen different ones and am always looking for more.

1946 Montgomery Ward Stan Musial--RIP Bruce

growing tired of looking...
 

Been looking for a lot of years for:

1912 Home Run Kisses Ham Patterson

Cheers,

1911 Baseball Bats Candy George Gibson

Life size cut out display advertising 1953 Glendale Hot Dog cards...(I don't think any survived though). The little salesman sample books exist! Dave.

The Plowboy Frank Chance. Have never seen one in person. I have the Tinker and Evers but have been searching for Chance for years.

Need a T205 AB Matty and AB Merkle. Know that a board member has a really awesome Merkle I would like to buy;);)

Forgot about a Rose PC of Chase.

If i had to pick one single card, I think I would say an e92 Nadja Cobb...if it actually does exist and I could somehow afford it. In general though I would say any other non-St. Louis e92 Nadja or any w554 with one of the red printed backs.

In Memoriam...
 

Either an N172 Frank Hankinson (to complete my NJ subset) or an N172 Taylor Shafer (to make up for a blockhead move I made years ago that I will likely never live down).

Bruce, Goodwin had a Chance Plowboy tobacco on display at his table at the National. Set for his upcoming auction.

Mine would be a T214 Victory Johnny Evers.
