I had been through LOTG on line at least 50+ times, had like 15 bids down, and I never made the connection Ben made. It's pretty great. Here's the link to the uniform catalog (look at Ruth picture) and my photo. Ben, I owe you a few drinks at the National. You have a better eye for this stuff than I do. Very happy to have this.

Glad you won it and so so cool with your photo. I also assume this means I will never be able to pry that photo from you... ..ha! What a wonderful /rare /early type 1 batting pose. Will you frame together or side by side?

I picked up a couple photos including this one; beat but still very rare. A little restoration and thoughtful frame job and this one comes to life I think. Or.. I’ll prob do nothing and just dream about it..��

Wow, i’m seeing some great stuff, lots of items where I was the underbidder. Here are some things I picked up:

Who won the 1905 likely Cobb PC?

[pencil1974]

Thanks so much guys! It was my favorite too. I like cabinets and with Ruth to boot just made it a perfect fit. Also some amazing pieces that I totally missed. Lol

[bigfanNY]

I think the Cobb photo was bought very well. Great image and signature is great. Wonderful display piece.

[CW]

Agree. Incredible Cobb piece!

[The Nasty Nati]

I was happy to win this. I've been looking for a centered example with nice registration for a quite while.

[Dewey]

Black Sox photo = Insanely awesome. Wow.

[BeanTown]

One of the items was this pin. One of two known from what I can find online.

Fantastic cards everyone from a very busy auction month. I put in my max bid on the Yum Yum Billy Nash for my player run and ending up winning it. I dont know what they usually go for but either way im happy with the purchase.

Jason, glad to hear the Nash went to a board member. I was the underbidder (and the one who kept upping the bid). Had I realized our top bids were the same, I probably would have gone 1 more bid.

I know that this card is not as old as most posted here. I won this in the LOTG auction.

Feeling a little guilty. I beat out a fellow board member on this one:

I am wondering the same. I was looking at that hard, and I think there was some very faint writing at the bottom. I didn't want to say anything until it sold. It looks to me like something might have been erased long ago. There is a small letter "J" written on "Cobb's" coat. I tried messing around with colors, saturation, etc., but couldn't quite prove to myself there was anything on the bottom, but it sure seemed possible.

[Bicem]

I don't recall seeing any faint or erased writing on it.

[edjs]

Jeff,

This is the area. It is totally hard to see, and I am not even certain it is really there, I'm not that good at tinkering with photos. But when you blow it up big and adjust the saturation, brightness, etc., it looks like something was written there at one time. There is a "J" on Cobb's coat right above the pocket, that is plain as day. But if someone can enhance the photo and bring out this writing (if it is really there), then you might discover more about the PC.

[RedsFan1941]

doubtful that the postcard has been shipped. maybe LOTG can take a closer look at it and report back.

[Bicem]

Oh yeah, you're right Ed. I owned this postcard many years ago and didn't recall that writing but do now!

I think it may have said "17 year old Ty" very faintly now that I think of it, although he was actually 18 when the photo was taken.

[BeanTown]

Did it also say "I can't wait to start my Pro baseball career" and "come watch me play"

[familytoad]

I wont show them all, but I did manage a dozen more OBAKS from LOTG.
I *really* like these cards as I am a sucker for the nice colors. OBAK are certainly amongst the prettiest cards out there!
