Those Kreindler T206s are beautiful!

That’s a major Don, for the Don collection, Don. Congrats

My only pick up was COVID.

Hi Don - it was nice meeting you at the dinner on Thursday.
My lone pickup. |
|
It's remarkable what an absolute geezer Cy looked like as an active player. Graig did his usual great job in capturing it.

Had a great time at the show, and was able to add these to the Ruth collection…

Amazing pickups! I too like the Kreindler T206 type cards (and the Drysdale looks really nice also). The miscut Ryan rookie is really cool. I can't remember seeing other miscut MB cards so it is really cool to have the Ryan rookie like that. Great Matty postcard and autographed cards too! I also really like the Cobb T206 and Ruth cards.
I could not attend this year but a friend of mine texted me about this thinking I might want it. I am very glad to have it as I really like the look of the players. I think I have seen a few others made of similar material but I do not recall ever seeing this one before. I like unusual 19th century display items. Alan |

Spectacular imagery on that 19th Century figural piece! Can you tell us what it may have been used for, as well as the size? I can't seem to wrap my head around what it is! |
Thank you Mark! I do not have it in hand yet as I have to get it from my friend but I think it is 8-10 inches long. I believe it is made out of pressed paper but I could be wrong. I had one with a non baseball scene that advertised a store so I assume this one had more to it at one point but I am not certain. I also thought I saw a similar item in one of the 19th century collections that were recently auctioned (maybe the one in Hunts) but I am not sure about that either. All I know for sure is that I like it.

Hi All,
Had an awesome time at the National, cant wait to go back next year! These were my pickups, mostly trades with various dealers. I want to take this moment to shout out 3 people who are the best in the business and even better human beings. Don Hontz, Ash Jain, and Joe Tomasulo. They were generous with their time and I could spend hours just looking at their collections and talking shop with them. I'll post my thoughts from the show later...gotta get back to work! Keith |
Yup, Don and Joe are two of the nicest I've ever met in the business. And they are not interested whatsoever in taking anyone for a ride or selling bad material. In short, these are people you want to to business with.
I don't know Ash, as I think he's newer to the hobby/industry and came on the scene after I stopped attending shows, but have heard nothing but great things. |

I enjoy adding these "renamed" prewar cards when they appear and grabbed about a dozen total. Based on the new names, my theory's that the owner attended minor league or military games and kept track of those names and stats using the cards on hand. Most of them show evidence of multiple written/erased/rewritten pencil names and numbers. Now own a few dozen of them and always interested in more.

Love the '14 CJ Wagner!

A big thanks to Jeff and Andy for bringing these to National for me. Both were really enjoyable deals, and I appreciated the conversations. Two highlight pickups from the show for me.
|
That's a haul, right there. My budget for the next 4 yrs....
congrats! Quote:

Brought this back from the 50c box. Imagine the guy who was stoked to label it for grading and then forgot it wasn't in a penny sleeve.

Compared to some of the pickups on this thread, here’s my paltry donation. |

Struck out a lot but managed to add this to my collection. Not the norm by any means but was too cool to pass up.

Not my only pickup at the show but I do enjoy this one. We share a last name, no relation though.
|
Feel like I should get t-shirts made:
I went to the National and all I picked up was Covid. I know there's several of us. |

He was sitting near the front with a dealer who had this book available for sale that depicts his artwork focused on negro league players.

A question for the attendees:
I love extremely hard-to-find variations from the Topps era. Did you run across any/many of those types of things as you cruised the show floor? If so, does anyone have any pics or video showing such cards?? |
