This is a milestone for me, as this is my first submission to SGC. These were purchased raw off the B/S/T and the sellers did an awesome job of pricing them according to condition. Do you guys recognize your former cards?

[Spike]

A nice couple of EE-YAHs from today's National.

Hey Jody,

I do indeed recognize that T206 Ritter and remember discussing your state's Governor, who was having a very interesting week (I believe he'd just returned home from a 4000 mile hike to the less frequented Pampas section of the Appalachian Trail) when I sold you that card. Glad it graded out to your satisfaction.

[J.McMurry]

Hey Anthony,
Yes I'm very happy with the grades on both cards, I was hoping that the corners on the Ritter might get me a 3, but I understand the stains and creases were probably too much to overcome. I am impressed with your and Matt's "grading eye", as it seems to be dead on.

[frohme]

As described in the "Collecting Spirit" thread - many, many thanks to two board members for two of the last three T207's I need...

Rob D - I owe you



and Bill T - thank you again!

Jody - glad your grading experience was positive. After getting surprised on my first SGC submissions I've honed my understanding of their grading scaled and have rarely been surprised the last few years.

The vintage signature on the Davis is great! Congrats!

[milkit1]

Thanks!
Davis has eluded me for a long time. I just need Luke Sewell standing and Ill have every players signed in the 1933 goudey set that died after Dizzy Dean.

[Mikehealer]

Picked these up from a board member. Very happy with the purchase.

[Touch'EmAll]

how many of these out there?

[slidekellyslide]

A Special thanks to Rob Lifson! Two previously unknown (to me) Nebraska Indians cabinet photos added to my collection.

[Anthony S.]

Thanks to Bob Lemke and Patrick McMenemy. Starting to see the finish down the road in Obakville.

[T206Collector]

I cannot get enough of these signed T206 cards.

From Autographed T206

[E93]

Got one from a board member at the National and the other three from Matt Federgreen in L.A.

Beauties Jim! Great images.

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up a couple of 1910 Obaks today.

Thanks again Anthony S!

[terjung]

That Dugdale is fantastic! I love the background in it.

Thanks for sharing!
Brian

[E93]

Thanks guys.

Finally got my first high grade T205 over a 6. Cost a mint but worth it. Now off to SGC in a month when I go up there and you all will get to see it again as a SGC graded card and in my registry.

[carrigansghost]

I finally had some mail shipped to Arizona. I'm getting closer to all of the types. Thanks to all who have helped.

Thank You Mr Steele.

Andrew, that's a beautiful T205 Johnson. But if it cost you a mint you paid way too much. It should have cost you only a near mint to mint.

[leftygrove10]

My first T-3's...

[Vintagecatcher]

I picked up my 3rd 1909 Obak catcher yesterday...Claude Berry.



Patrick

[majordanby]

new Brown to add to collection

[sox1903wschamp]

Andrew, Nice "Mordecai" T-205.

I know this is not baseball but I can't help myself . I know there is a vintage Hockey site but it's not on this forum. Maybe someday we will have one but until then I am going to be a rebel every once in awhile to show my Hockey fixes.

Picked these up from Seth at 19th Century Only who IMO runs very nice Auctions.

[Kawika]

Very nice Ice Kings, Michael. I've been known to post an IK or two in the past, so it's obviously OK with me anyway. I just need two more to finish the set, Thompson "Left Ear Showing" and Chabot "No Trees". Took me awhile to get used to the fact that the blade marks on the ice were not scratches on the card.

[Mikehealer]

Picked this up off ebay.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Just back from SGC..................

[GaryPassamonte]

From the National.

[JamesGallo]

I got this at the east coast national. Very happy to add a nice key card to this set.

[Matt]

Gary - beauty of an N172 Kelly in a tough pose.

[Doug]

Great stuff so far, especially the N172 Kelly. I've never seen that pose before.

[calvindog]

New Lionel Carter flip on this one:



Thanks to Scott M for this one which just arrived:

[Matt]

Jeff - if it was without the Carter on the flip before, what did you have to provide to SGC to prove to them it was Carter's card?

[btkpath]

I have pretty much been a lurker on these boards, but the information provided has been invaluable to me....Thanks to all! Started collecting vintage BB cards about 5 years ago and finished all 240 cards of the 1933 Goudey set. I started collecting 1914 CJ's about a year ago, knowing that it would be a long endeavor. I did a triple, quadruple and quintuple take when I found this for sale. Pretty nice (I think) for a PSA 1!

[JamesGallo]

Barry

The Pratt is a great pick up as he is one of if not the hardest card in that set to find. Plus he in a 1914 only card and one that I have been looking for. If you upgrade or want to sell LMK. Card looks grade for the grade, is there back damage?

James G

[carrigansghost]

Nice Parent, Paul and nice pick ups on the others as well. You continue to amaze me with your finds.

Rawn

[btkpath]

James,

Thanks much for the complement on the 1914 CJ Del Pratt. The back of the card is almost nicer (IMHO) than the front. No tears, paper or corner loss, excessive caramel staining or folds. Along the mid right border of the front there may be what I would describe as a possible slight compression of the card paper, but nothing that really detracts from the overall eye appeal of the card. It was a complete fluke that I found this as a BIN when I did my periodic search on ebay. I am not optimistic that I will happen upon two unicorns in my collecting lifetime, but will certainly keep you in mind if that happens. I may actually try submitting the card to SGC to see their opinion as I think PSA was very harsh in their grading of the card. I knew I was purchasing a PSA 1, but was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box it was delivered in.

Barry

[tbob]

I picked up 20 T210s last week plus this card last night. (I'll post the scans of the T210s when they get back from SGC). This is not a pre-war card but I've always loved this card.

New additon to my collection.

[Bamacollection]

A new addiction!!!

[bcbgcbrcb]

Just back from Beckett (1923 Gehrig, 1920 Grimes & 1923-24 Heinie Manush) ..................

[Jacklitsch]

I thought something looked different with your Grimes versus mine. Note the location of the photographer attribution at the bottom.

A couple of recent pickups to get my White Sox type set started...
