Three more T206 cards in to start off the month.



The Burns card, especially, is in really nice shape. That one will grade pretty well.

Back in July, Mark Macrae saw my posting in Mark Bowers' National want list thread and let me know he had recently acquired a card with Howe's stamp on the back, and asked if I was interested. When I saw the scan, I was a very happy guy. It was the Mathewson white cap that was on my known-but-lost list, having lost track of it when Jim Schnieder sold it on eBay after winning the near complete T206 set from Mastro back in 2008. Mark had just gotten it from the estate of a collector who had around 400 T206s, and it was one of them. Mark was nice enough to drop it off here in Omaha on his way through to the National. It is actually card #257 in the rebuilt collection.




Last week, long time board member Frank Bennett reached out to let me know he had just acquired a Wiltse card with Howe's stamp. This one was new, or news to me, as I hadn't heard about or seen it before. Thanks for such a quick deal, Frank, and getting this card back with the others. It is actually #260.




Back in late 2012, board member Troy reached out to me and let me know he had a card with a lot of sentimental value that had Howe's stamp on the back. He sent scans of that beauty, and about two weeks later let me know he had found another card in his collection that had the stamp also. It wasn't until about two weeks ago, while going back through old emails that it dawned on me that I never asked if the second card had any sentimental value to him, or if it might be purchased. It arrived yesterday morning in the mail, becoming #261 in the rebuilt collection.




In the last three months, I've gotten three previously unknown cards, one that had been lost for six years, and another that I knew the owner of, but hadn't been able (or just hadn't asked) to purchase. My post on the B/S/T thread let me know of another that I now know the owner of, and also let me know of one that I had known the owner, but it has changed hands, without the benefit of knowing where it went. That keeps the total number of cards I know that have the stamp out there at 33. 11 I know the owner of, 22 are lost in the general population.

Thanks to everyone on this board who have been so helpful this past seven years as I've tried to rebuild the collection. I'll never know if or when it is complete, but it sure is fun seeing all the great cards Howe owned at one time.

Thank you, Dan.

That Ruth PC and M101-5 Shoeless are BANANAS!

September is off to a really great start.

[itjclarke]

Agree 1000% on Joe Jax.. wow! Great pick ups all.

My first board trade arrived today. Thanks Andrew!

[MattyC]

Raw from my local shop. Might wind up as one of the nicest 1s or 1.5s around because of the back...

[GregMitch34]

First Goudey 8. None ever graded higher. Have to admit, takes some kind of mad genius to contrast purple and lime...

Ian, thank you for the trade! I did pick up this Grimes, not a tough card or signature but it is a combo that can not be very common.

[Jacker_ Cracks]

Fantastic cards guys! Keep em coming..

Wow Bill, love the Tinker! Great selection and eye appeal!

[MikeGarcia]

....finally just finished collecting all three of the 1935/1936 Cronin types ; differences in cropping are evident by comparing the foot , cap , and sleeve .
.. I think The type 2 ( no " Litho In USA " ) has been exposed to a lifetime of cigarette smoke because the normal border color is white , just like the type 1 .

...He doesn't appear in the Type 4 and only Detroit Tigers are in the Type 5 ( I think Hank Greenberg is the only player in all five types ?? ). Tim ??


...oh damn , radio just broke the news.... RIP Joan

[JoeDfan]

This arrived in my mailbox the other day...I was very excited.

Interesting and cool card, Sean. I hadn't seen one before and had to do some research to figure out what you had!

[the 'stache]

Thank you, Luke. I like getting Hall of Famers in this set. I think I'll go on a little run with them.

Sean,

Love the Diamond Dust Joe D! I always like seeing examples from that set as they don't show up too often. That's a really nice one too.

Best regards,

These were discussed a few months back, but I just got them this week. Don't worry, I know they are skinned and trimmed. I can't imagine who had the patience to skin these. The Burrell you would think it was blank backed, it was skinned so neatly. Fronts look okay, though, and they were cheap. I'll have a few more examples of good cards gone bad when they come in over the next week. That sounds like a theme for a thread, maybe?

Thanks to a few board members I was able to expand my 1909 Pirates collection.

[the 'stache]

Erick-Really nice CJs. I especially love the Lajoie. It's really cool that you're almost finished with the set.

Clayton-congrats on the pickups! I know it's been a while. It feels good to add some more cards towards your set, doesn't it?

Jon-I love the Pirates. Very nice additions to your collection.

Kenny-some really nice cards, beautiful! I look forward to investigating both Cuban cards and OJs one day soon. The monster is keeping me very busy...

[Kenny Cole]

Thanks guys.

[rainier2004]

Erick - 2 great cards there, nice score buddy...hurry up join the club!

I am a very happy camper with this upgrade from my original CJ guru, its all about who you know.
