September Pickups

Happy to grab this one! Now for the green portrait to complete the quartet.

[Vintagecatcher]

I picked up an old bookcase last year to use for my displaying my T207 collection. Someone had painted the inside pink then white most likely in the 1950s. They also painted over on the hinges as well.

I replaced the old "painted" shelves with plate glass. I was also extremely lucky to find brand new hinges that matched perfectly in an antique shop. Lastly I added a new art nouveau style door knob.

Couldn't get a great picture with all the glare but pretty happy with the results. The stain I used had a poly included that matched the T207 backgrounds and their gloss pretty well.

It's not often that I pick up something for $11.35 that I consider to be an important part of my collection. But this one definitely qualifies. I know it's not pre-war, but it's a team issue of the major leagues' first African American coach, shown as a coach. I always hoped it existed, but never knew until now.

Wow! Fantastic.
Congrats.

What set is the O'Neill card from? Or is it not a card?

These just came in from Leon's auction. Bought the lot for the Magee, will be moving the Murphy along soon as I really shouldn't have spent what I did but couldn't be happier with the Magee in my Phillies Type Set

Was able to sell my E106 Wagner in PSA 5 and pickup this one within a two week span. Very pleased (and so is my wife)
