If you send it to PSA you will get a mc qualifier. SGC just lowers the grade. Not having all of the bottom name is why it lowered the grade.

Just started collecting T206 over the summer, and I only have 18 so far. I have however tried to spread it out as far as the backs go. So far I have covered 3 out of 4 Piedmonts (guess which one I don't have). 3 out of 4 Sovereigns (guess which one I don't have). Tolstoi, Old Mill, EPDG, AB 350 w/ frame, Cycle 350 and Brown Hindu are the others. I've yet to pick up a Polar Bear, or a Sweet Caporal of any kind. More than half of my T206's were purchased right here on the Net 54 BST.

The Chase was one of my first purchases, the Lake is my toughest back to date. Honorable mention should go to a Willie Keeler portrait that I don't have a pic of. I don't have a scanner, and forgot to hijack one before it was deleted!






I don't post too much, but I just want to take a second to thank everyone here on Net54 who make this place possible/enjoyable. The mix of knowledge, passion, and kindness here is incredible. I wouldn't enjoy collecting these old cards half as much if it wasn't for this place. 2012 Was a great year for my collection. From T206 to 1990 Donruss Aqueous Test, and everything in between! Here is to an even better 2013 for all of us!

Now, on Monday night I want everyone to get drunk (except for you Wazoo!) But I don't want anyone to drive (including you Wazoo!) Have fun, and Happy New Year everybody!

My best pickup came on the last day of the year. I already released him from his tomb and he's breathing fresh Pennsylvania air. Matty and me are just sittin here chillin waiting for more name@top friends to join use. Thanks Denny.

[cdn_collector]

Didn't pick up too many this year, but was very happy to score this one on eBay a few weeks ago (for what I thought was a great price) and no competition.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Regards,

Richard.

Thanks Scott for a very nice transaction (along with several others). The Captain has just about become my collection favorite. I was holding out to post it with my other big 2012 pick up, but it's still in transit.. I guess 2013 will be off to a nice start when it arrives

[Runscott]

My pleasure, Ian - glad you like it. Another pile of cards left for SF today!

I guess my favorite non-postcard card pick-up would be this Johnson portrait:

[mrvster]

that johnson sheet number is awesome!

It's an AUT, but one of my favorites.

[joeadcock]
