June Pickups
 

Managed to snag this for my E99 set from Legendary.

8%? living on the edge.

couple of beauties for the e95 set

1911 Chicago Union Giants panoramic postcard
 

This oversized panoramic postcard depicts the Chicago Union Giants and the Daggett, Michigan baseball team at a September 6, 1911 contest in Daggett. The Union Giants wear jerseys reading "Peters" because Williams S. Peters owned the club. A friend's great research yielded the following identifications: Robert Gilkerson, who would buy the team in 1917 (2b, far left); Sam Gordon (c, second from left); Horace Jenkins (rf, third from left); Haywood "Kissing Bug" Rose (1b, fourth from right) Albert Toney (ss, second from right); James Harvey (p/rf, far right). The other players likely include Guy Jackson (3b); Mack Ramsey (lf), Ed Lee (cf), and Alexander (p). I will post more identifications as they come. For more, visit http://www.sportingoregon.com

WOW, great piece, Brian. Congrats!

Luke, those are some beautiful cards. Nice way to start off the month!

wow, nice Brian!

Thanks Ted!

Nice card Waz, but the front looks trimmed.

As a newbie in pre-war; let the education continue....

Also, picked up my first T3 in LOTG auction last night.

Thanks Bill!

And that Ames T3 is killer. I'd never seen that one before.

Very sharp additions!

2 kids graduating
 

The high school graduate is a Clemente fan - sorry it isn't per-war - so I bought him this 1959 card. The soon-to-be-former-8th grader is more of a pre-war kinda guy, so I bought him his first Greenberg; not great condition, but a big head. (Thanks Tony!)

From Love of Game last night, only graded one--just cool looking, postcard back, barely distributed if at all...

Big Thanks to Jeremy J. and John S. for helping me along ................

Benton looks like he's 13 years old :)

My first Ruth, after all of these years...and reacquired the exact Pelty i used to own...both from LOTG (great auction, Al!)

When the Cubs were good
 

The colors are nicer - I need to get a hang of this scanner.

Great pick up guys. That T3 is nice and I myself haven't seen that one before either.

A couple of more "firsts" of these types for me.....looks like I may be heading down that type collector road.

John, I got that book about a month and a half ago. You're going to absolutely love it. Good buy!

I'm sending you a message with some other suggestions.

After getting my first red border in REA, I've decided to collect Series 4 and 6. My wife's family is from the area making this the only way she would agree to me collecting more tobacco cards. (She's in medical school and hates tobacco, she told me my OJs were okay, but other sets)

I was also able to pick up 2 Cleveland and 1 Cincinnati OJ for my Ohio subset. Really happy with the Twitchell. Its near the top of my favorites list for this subset.

Enjoy!!

First Keeler, first Carter...

Wish I could post the Quincy Trouppe Cuban card I was after, but I fell asleep and lost out in the LOTG auction.

A little masterpiece...T205 McAllister
 

This little masterpiece arrived today from Joe's Vintage Sports Cards. The color on it is off the charts.

Great Book:
 

I have had it for several years and consider it irreplaceable.

Nice Reulbach
 

This should actually go in the May pick-ups, but didn't have a chance to scan Friday
 

The accompanying note said: Cyrus says: "It's nice to be home!"

Very special thanks to a board member who got this one of Howe's cards back with the rest. Words can't really express how grateful I am.

Number 256 in the rebuilt collection.

Congrats Ed! That's a big one!

wow...congrats Ed.

Awesome Ed! Keep it up! That card is in fantastic shape, too!! That would look great in any collection, but looks the best in yours! I don't know the full story, but do you think almost all T206 in the checklist will have this back? And is there only a sole copy of each in existence, or have you stumbled across duplicates?

I think I can speak for all of us when I say, yours is probably the most challenging set-build I know of! We all know of Uzits and Hindus being rare/tough backs, but yours must be the toughest around!

Very nice T210 pickups. Some really good poses in the cards posted.

A big score for me, a nice lot of 21 OJs.

All the cards, except one, have "C W CHURCH." stamped on the back. It would be interesting to know how substantial the collection was at one time. Almost all the cards date to 1889. Appears to be a collection that has stood together for many, many years. Most of the cards have outstanding photo quality. A nice grouping of OJs.

Oops . . . and the 21st OJ.

That is a great lot of OJ's. Love those cards man

:eek: wow..nice!!

Great cards Joe!!

Picked up a couple of nice postcards. Very excited to find the Wood/Johnson.

Incredible postcards Jim!

Wood and Johnson? There has to be a joke in there somewhere. :p

super postcards Jim!

Well, the rest of the lot is pretty sweet, but a Deacon White? That is outstanding! Congrats!

BTW - that pose looks very familiar to me! :D

Greg-that Keeler is beautiful! That's one of my favorite portraits from the set.

Ed-that Cy Young is magnificent, and I'm so glad you got it back. I love your project. I keep my eyes open for the Howe McCormick back stamp whenever I'm looking at T206 cards on Ebay.

Joe-you're not kidding about the photo quality. Those Old Judges are spectacular!

I, for one, would like to see a different qualifier for baseball cards that exhibit stamps. The "MK" designation is seen as a negative, something that lowers the overall value of a card. I find the stamps that are seen in Ed's collection, and on the back of Joe's OJ collection, as enhancements. I think they add character to the cards, and exhibit a little clue about the card's history. Let the buyer decide if the stamp qualifier adds to or detracts from the card's beauty.

Wow Jim, love them all.

Holy smokes Jim! I think you should be more excited about the Marquard ML card! Very nice! All three are killer though!

Beautiful postcards Jim. Rather risque-- a Johnson with Wood.

A prelude to Masters & Johnson? :D

I think it would be really cool if when you completed this unique collection you went to the residence of 500 W. Main St., Gainesville, Fla and showed the current resident your collection or an even cooler idea would be to track down the descendants of Howe and show them their great grandfathers collection.

Really cool idea for a collection, I'll keep a lookout for those stamps!

Question is...how will Ed know if/when this collection is ever completed?
