May Pick Up Thread
 

Been a long time since I got to start a month.

1954 Red Heart Mantle

Brown Town
 

General rule of brown backs is that if you have to ask if your back is brown, it isn’t.

Fortunately I’m not asking.

Edited 5/2:

Well, there have been almost 800 views of this thread now and I was wondering if someone might have made comment questioning this image (some of you may just have remained mute out of kindness) but it is actually an 1860's English cricket player. I guess it just goes to show how close the look of the players were during that early stage of base ball. I couldn't even tell myself except after looking at the ball a little closer (ok, well, that and the English photographer notated at the bottom of the image and on the back:)).

It reminds me a great deal of the Hoboken Benefit image of Harry Wright in his cricket uniform (not mine):

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Nice Scott - and a Howe McCormick sighting to boot!

T202 Chief Meyers T202 subset complete
 

Thanks to Lee at Sterling Sports Auction for helping me complete the 10 card Chief Meyers T202 subset. Chief Meyers has the most T202s with 10 different cards in the T202 set.

Lots of backs so far! Lenox, Howe stamp...and now I get to add a blue back that arrived today.

A very big thank you to DJ for giving me the heads up on this one!

(If anybody has another blue back Matty to share, I'd love to see a scan.)

Cheers,
Steve

Nice, I was Watching that

Congrats Tyler! Very nice Ruth.

Beautiful

Just this so far:

Many great-looking, classic cards out of the May gate.

Just got these babies scanned and in-hand today; Cobb was a bump, so not entirely new; the '57 auto is one of my favorite pieces ever.

Beautiful color on those Matty’s, Frank.

The Goudey #144 Ruth is, in my opinionated opinion, one of the best baseball cards ever. Your's is a peach.

I can never quite decide if I'm selling off or buying up Polar Bears, but I now own one more than I did yesterday.

1910 Hogan Obak & George Graham T205 Black AB back
 

Received these 2 cards in the mail today.

One of my favorite Obaks, Hap Hogan (Vernon). Have 2 1911s already and now have a 1910. Background color slightly different on each one.

Nicely done, Leon!

Okay, I guess I'm adding them.
 

One Polar Bear at a time

Mr. Kruger always reminds me of Alfred E. Newman of Mad Magazine fame.

Just started collecting the T206 HOFs, and these are 3 of my most recent with a few more on the way.

Pretty strong resemblance for sure.

I love those Piedmont Stamps. Great Art work.

May Pickups
 

t206 Kaiser Wilhelm with a fun color shift.

Great card Leon. I am hoping to pick up a 19th century mascot card one day soon myself.

e107 plank which has been on my list for years and a t227 cobb from ebay a few weeks back. I will say that as much crap as we give ebay, they still have some really good stuff here and there...

Pete that is an awesome Plank. Would love to add a Plank to my collection with that iconic pose!

Thank you very much! The e95 is arguably just as nice and way more affordable - but I agree, an iconic pose.

Great Plank Pete. I was looking hard at that one myself. Glad you got that and I got the Wags Nadja. Looks like we have similar tastes; I dont know if our taste is good or bad, but similar....

T205 Tom Needham
 

Thrilled to ugrade my T205 Tom Needham with this green American Beauty back.

Very Nice AB. Is it a SGC 4-4.5?

:D

Nice card. Its crazy to think one would want a 5 for more $ when you could have this one. Super nice pickup

Signed T206 "Doc" White
 

Extremely happy to pull this card into my collection - thanks Steiner Auctions! This would be the 45th different T206 pose I have autographed. About 10 years ago, I said that 50 would be my lifetime goal -- just five away now, but man it is getting harder and harder to find new ones!

Thanks! My thoughts exactly! :)

7/7 known R322 Zeke Bonuras
 

My seventh Zeke Bonura back variation arrived yesterday. That sheet's complete!

Not sure if I am going to hold onto this one or not. First one I have ever seen signed from this set.

Hi Ryan,

Said the same thing and I just picked up a coupon too from ebay (PWCC)! My first one.
