Great pick-up Brent. :)

Congrats Brent. Huge score!

Still can't believe it, thanks :)

Well that wasn't very nice Brent. Now the rest of our pickups will pale in comparison.

This N43 is one of my favorite non-photograph 19th century cards.

I appreciate that :), no every pick up is good

Great pickup Jay!

Thrilled to have finally picked up this "beauty"..........

Great pick ups everyone, especially the Ruth! Lost out on a couple of lots but did pick up this Wags.

Great Ruth, man! Excellent addition!

I am thrilled to add my first unique pose T206 in over a year -- introducing Nap Rucker! This brings my total of unique signed T206 poses to an even 40 (provided you count Mrs. Jane Mathewson & Mrs. Blanche McGraw). Someone else figured out that this one is extremely rare and really let me have it in the bidding last night.

I am also extremely excited to add an authentic Eddie Cicotte signed T205 to my collection. Sure, I'd love a T206, but this was too precious to pass up. So, in one night I was able to add a signature that I did not own before, and a signed T206 that I did not own before. I am very pleased! Thanks to whoever the consignor of these beauties is -- I'd sure love to know who had the forethought to get all these signatures on pre-war cards! They deserve all the credit.

A true 1 of 1: only card in this ever found or graded (along with singles of the other 111 cards). Allegheny Game Co. prototype, never manufactured. Note: they were all handcut but PSA and SGC both grade them usually at 5,6,7,8.

Great cards guys. Their recent auction had something for almost everyone...

wow, Leon...pretty crispy for a 10! Great back too!

Thanks Peter. It has some erased writing on it which accounts for the low grade. What is sort of interesting is that I now have 5 E222s and they all have slightly different backs. Here is one other card from the auction. ....but it is slightly post war..

Leon- is the red back on the E222 unusual? Beautiful card!

there seems to be a lot of minor variations on the backs of those e222's...handmade supposedly right?

Barry- I have seen a few other red backed e222s but they are a very scarce subset, no doubt. I know Val has or had one that was the nicest E222 I have ever seen.

Peter- No, not handmade (I don't think), but they were made by a company (Fulton Press) that was a printing company to start with. That might account for the wide variety of backs on a low number of cards. There was a great article done by a board member in an OldCardboard magazine several years ago. I think, but am not sure, I am only missing one back variety now. I will have to do some more research to verify it though. It's amazing the almost infinite number of ways to collect our little gems.

Issue 23 of Old Cardboard - article by Tim Cathey

My Heritage pickup isn't a card, but I liked it nonetheless.

I added an Everett Scott signed baseball. The "Deacon" played 12 seasons from 1914-26 and served as captain of both the fabled New York Yankees, as well as the Boston Red Sox. He is a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame and played on 3 Red Sox World Series championship teams. He was also on the Yankees 1923 World Series winning team. Scott held the record for most consecutive games played until his steak was bested by the Iron Horse in 1933.

And on another panel, is some guy known as a singles hitter with a reputation for having a general surly attitude. I think his nickname is derived from a fruit or something like that.

Added another 1907-09 Cobb to the collection.
 

Picked up the team postcard.

Nice pickups, guys!

That N43 Ewing is a work of art, Bryan.

Nice to see you were able to get a couple of those signed beauties, Paul!

I was forced to overpay for this one, but I couldn't pass it up. Fortunately, I already have Wheat and Crawford, or I would have had to cash in my 401K last night. :)

Cobb ball.....
 

....is awesome, I bowed out early.

Thanks Chuck! Would've liked to have gotten more, but at least I got both of the ones I needed.

:D

Congrats Brent on landing your grail!

Hey Leon, thanks for ruining my Heritage-Auction-ending night! :mad: I also wanted this E222 Otey card, as it is both an E222 player and E222 back variety that I don't have - if only I had deeper pockets! :D

Being serious, I truly congratulate you on this great pickup! I had a gut feeling you might be bidding on it, as I knew from my past research that you didn't have this back variety. FYI, I believe you now need 2 back varieties, same as me (not counting the A.W.A. back) - but, fortunately (for me!), we no longer need the same backs!

The other good news for me is I know where to come after this Otey card, which I will do just as soon as I come up with a Niagara Baking card to trade you! :D

And, yes, I still have the PSA 5 Hooker card with the red/rose colored back. At the risk being considered a show-off, here it is (sorry, but the only pic I have of it at this moment also has my other E222 with the same back design).

Best,
Val

A great auction and I wanted a few other items, but prevailed on just this postcard - I really like it though so I'm happy!

Scott,

I've always liked that postcard. In case you care (and don't already know), there's also a version that has an ad on the front:

Hope you enjoy that postcard.

Rob

Hey Rob, thanks for sharing your postcard. I'm trying to decipher the writing on the bottom - is that supposed to say "the 1905 Cleveland H.S. ball team"? Did the sender think this was a high school team? Or is the H.S. really something else? Interesting.

Either way - love your example as well!

Phenomenal stuff, gentlemen; my hat is off to you all.

Yes, that's how I read it. The sender thought the 1905 Indians were a high school team. She was about 70-80 years ahead of her time.

Awesome pick ups! Seen so many new cards I never knew existed, very gorgeous, another reason to love the hobby is you see great things that keep you in touch and attached.

T206 plank
 

Paul Goldin's monster number will be jumping up next time there is an update. probably take me a few weeks to figure out everything that has arrived in past weeks.
but picked up this post auction buy

Very nice score Ken.

Thanks!

A few upgrades for the set...

I won some stuff as well, but it is nothing compared to you guys. Congrats to all!

I completely disagree with this sentiment. If the card makes you happy, who cares if it is worth $10 or $10,000? Don't belittle your collection! Show off those winnings Robert!

+1

Well....I won this lot. I am sure the centering is what scared people off. I thought it went rather cheap for what is was...

FYI, there is a very nice Blue M116 Mordecai Brown currently running in Bagger's Auctions.

I didn't really figure you would be going for this one Val. And you seem to be correct that there are still a few more backs I need. The hunt is half the fun. BTW, Tim Cathey's article is excellent, in OldCardboard #23. Since it was written I think we have seen 2 more of the AWA cards, so the hypothesis in the article, with reference to these backs, has probably changed.

"Great Grandpa, is it true that your T cards had nice wide borders?"

Very nice eye, my friend.

Thanks Adam.
