The rest of the sale.

[Jacklitsch]

Looks like you're making great progress Bob on one of my favorite sets.

I've been working on the 1909 Obak Horizontal cards. Picked up Mohler last month and Mr. Wiggs arrived today. Six down four more to go.

[quinnsryche]

Just in today. Thanks Louis!

[brianp-beme]

Just received the pictured 1909 Obak of Fitzgerald, which was the final card I needed to complete the set...hooray! I started the set about 11 years ago, but suffered a six year dry spell where I was stuck needing just two cards, the Shinn and Fitzgerald. Our own Anthony S. remembered I needed the Shinn a few months ago and made sure one ended up my hands, and then notified me last month that this Fitzgerald was available, so he was incredibly instrumental in helping me tame the Monster's PCL cousin. Thanks!

Now here is the chance to help Anthony out...he is down to just needing one card--Speas--to finish his 1909 Obak set, as you can see in his BST posting. These cards can be elusive, but someone out there probably has one available, and can help make Anthony's day

After having lost out on a Mathewson and Johnson over the last year or so, was very happy to add this PM1 to the collection...

[Brian Van Horn]

docpatlv,

Bravo!

[teetwoohsix]

Congrats Brian on completing the 1909 Obak set !! Must be a great feeling of accomplishment

Sincerely, Clayton

Good Job Brian

Nice C46's Tbob. That wags pin is stunning

My first Fred Toney of the new year for my small but growing Toney collection. Special Thanks to Rhett for letting me know this got posted on ebay. I have been looking for one of these for a while now. If only I could find a D381 Toney or a E135 or Boston Store Toney now I would be so happy. I am content with this gem for now. If these were issued in 1911, I am surprised Toney made it into this issue because Toney only pitched in a couple of game for the cubs in 1911. I am glad he made it in though.

Jeff - Great, Great Cobb PC!

[brianp-beme]

Finally proof that Cobb was the God-zilla of the dead ball era...great postcard, and one mean stare from Ty.

Picked up some OJs reciently...

[4815162342]

This is my first raw T206. I'll be submitting it to PSA; what will it grade?

[Kawika]

Tyzilla!

[vintagetoppsguy]

Looks like a 4.5 or 5 on the Bastian.

Picked up this Plank on eBay:

I hope you're right David!

[jb217676]

Picked up this sharp looking Waddell portrait from fellow member Ron Rice. What a BLAZER! Sharp colour! Well centred! Super nice for the grade! An A+ transaction, thanks Ron!

[t206hound]

I think that 'divit' that goes through to the back of the card will cost a full grade; I'd say 3.5-4

My first Zeenuts (not correct scale)....And also have to say, that Ty Cobb PC is awsome, congrats.

[Leon]

Mr.Hull, you have an awesome AB carton and pack there. I have never seen the carton....would love to know more about it.....

[bcbgcbrcb]

Just back from Beckett, a 1924 Jimmy Foxx die-cut photo picturing him in his Easton uniform from his only minor league season there

[milkit1]

a blank backed Brown. Did anyone here pick up the Bresnahan? That went CHEAP m116 brown front.jpg

With the recent E102 thread in mind, here is the latest purchase for my type set (from Ebay)...

Stunning Cobb PC and that AB box is sick. In a good way

[calvindog]

That AB box is out of this world.

Actually a very late January addition, but never got around to posting it. A huge thank you to Scott Brockelman for noticing this one was
on my 2011 want list and contacted me shortly thereafter. Very much appreciated....

[jimonym]

Thanks, guys.

The carton now contains one pack. According to the previous owner, it once contained 40-some full packs. She had acquired it/them at a country store auction in Gettysburg, PA in 2006 or 2007, but has been selling the packs off one by one since. I'm sure some board members have picked some of them up.

The pack's tax stamp was cancelled in July 1905, and both the pack and the carton are marked as coming from Factory 25 in Virginia. Slightly pre-T card era, but pretty darn close.

[T206.org]

Really nice Lundgren, Drew! I'd say "ya done well" posting a picture.

Jim... beautiful AB carton!!

[V117collector]

[mintacular]

Somehow I stumbled into collecting a T205 Cubs team set, my nephew is a cubs fan and I like TEC so that's how i justify my new project--it never ends! Thanks Todd and David for the trades:

Thats a very cool Jimmie Foxx diecut photo. He grew up in the area I live in. Is the Easton team Easton, MD by any chance?

[dstraate]

Nice double play combo Patrick. Now you just need to learn the poem verbatim, and you'll have a presentation with few rivals.

New pickups ... cards I never thought I'd find!

Burkett was from Clean Sweep. I just received it, less than 24 business hours after I mailed the check!

Evers & Terry are from davidbvintage (another great ebay seller)

Very nice Terry Rookie, Dan. I like the Burkett a lot too, not many career contemporary cards for him.
