It may very be my best OJ image. It looks even better than the scan...

Been after an N173 for a while now. Was very happy to pick up this Hank Gastright proof in the mean time:

I really like the Gastreich proof. Being a collector of Columbus OJs its awesome to know there is a proof out there.

Nice card Greg.

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked this one up off of eBay for under $15.00.

Great photo content of a true Giant!

My very first Gehrig of any kind. Got it from a guy who has about half the set in similar condition. I grabbed this first and may go back for the rest. I just can't decide if it's worth it to work on this set. It seems to get the short straw amongst collectors since they aren't "Cards" in the purest form.

So I'm still not sure if this will stay in my collection or not.

Always loved this one and it's a beauty. Congrats and I think it's a keeper!

[Northviewcats]

The Butterfinger Gehrig reminded me how difficult it is to get an nice, affordable Gehrig or a Ruth card from their playing days. Sometimes we go to extraordinary lengths.

This 1927 W560 sheet came in the mail today.

Best regards,

Joe

Its been a very quiet month for me. I basically haven't purchased anything for my set but it wasn't like I tried. I was close on a few and very sad I lost out on a Gehrig for my set. Oh well the search goes on. Anyway the other night I completed a deal on here with baez578. I know its only a 4 but will def upgrade down the line.

(1) 1911 Ty Cobb real photo postcard batting against Wilkes-Barre Barons at Boulevard Park.

(2) 1912 Cy Young real photo postcard with unidentified team. This is one of the last images of him in a major league uniform before he effectively retired after arm trouble prevented him from taking the mound in Pittsburgh on May 23 in what would have been his first 1912 appearance.

(3) 1910 real photo postcard of the Wilkes Barre Barons at Boulevard Park.

Cy looks like the "Spaghetti Monster" from "True Detective."

[VintageBall]

That Cy Young card could be with the Rochester, MN team, since here's a postcard of that team (Wisconsin-Minnesota League), with the photo by Young:



And here's one member of the team on his own PC:

[bbpostcards]

Thanks for the suggestion, Robert. I suspect they're different teams because mine has a different R on the uniform and a K on the sleeve. As well, the Braves trained in Augusta, GA starting in March or so and opened their season on April 11 in Boston, making it unlikely they would have crossed paths with a Minnesota team.

As the subject says - some pickups from earlier this year, recently back from SGC with the interim flip.

Some of these Recruits are tough in grades above 40/50... some not so much.

I love antique fairs. A young boys' team near Erie and DePue 1904:

Mike, these are fantastic! Congratulations.

Nice cards, Brian!

Good to see there was at least a little T207 love, even if late in the month.
