I also had this guy left without a signature today. Turns out it looks even better than I thought it would from the ebay pics. What I thought was a right bottom corner tear is just a crease. Compare to the last couple 3's sold!

Awesome Cobb, AJ. As the owner of the 3 on the bottom, though, I could tell you your 1.5 looks superb even without the comparison.

Great Cobby Sam! Love that centering

Happy to win this tough Cuban issue of the great Valentin Dreke. The photo quality is as good as it gets:

[Bliggity]

A bunch of recent T205s. Now at 89/208. Sorry for the large scans!

Great, Scott

Worthy? Why yes, yes they are. Sweet.

"Right bottom corner tear"? Idk, but that is one sweet card. Damn

Great Cobbs. I can't get over how these two cards have nearly IDENTICAL wear on the corners. It's almost like they have traveled the earth together, one atop the other, for 110 years.

It amazes me how a card could get that much corner wear and have no creases. Seriously how is it even possible.

Cards in a stack, wrapped with a rubber band, get handled in stack form for 100 or so years. The corners get rubbed off, but the faces stay intact.

Beautiful Cobbs, by the way!

[Jobu]

Sliding around in a cigar (or other) box, drawer, etc might also yield corners like those.

[rayray]

Two new additions to the collection.

[mechanicalman]

Very thankful that Louieman was willing to part with this George C. Miller Gehringer. Also picked up my first T205 and Tattoo Orbit this month.

Great pickups Sam. That T205 Cobb has always been one of my favorites.

Nice O'Hara Ed. I can't tell from the scan but is it possible that it's an ink
blob from the printing. I've seen them on cards before.

Here's a Bell and chase with a few in the same place.

Thanks, Pat. It is a drop of ink, probably from a fountain pen. Period, but not original to the card.

Here's my big March pickup - the house, not the lady friend.

[Big Six]

Nice pickup on the house, KMayUSA6060...

My latest is rather humble by comparison...my first DeLong of one of my favorite pre-war players...



Special thanks to Brian Van Horn for a smooth transaction and for working with me on this purchase...your patience is greatly appreciated...

Happy to add this one. The crease isn't too bothersome for me, and kept the price down.

Before he passed a couple years ago, he talked about knowing Sisler. I wish I had picked my Grandpa's brain a bit more and listened to his stories more carefully. I forget in which capacity he knew George, whether it be an encounter on the ball diamond, or somewhere around Akron through work. Nonetheless, awesome card.

Thanks for the congrats, Brian!

Upgraded my SGC 10 E93 Joss.

(grey is the new orange complements of canon btw).

[Vintagecatcher]

Perhaps my best eBay pickup ever!

Thrilled to add this George Peaches Graham E90-1 to my catcher collection.

Patrick

[Leon]

Very nice Patrick. I like the printer's marks on it too.

and a Matty Polar Bear T205 for my set...

[Stonepony]

That's a beauty!! As a Matty collector I still don't have a T205 I'm thrilled with. Nice pick up

[edjs]

Nice cards, guys. I really like the Peaches, Patrick.

[Vintagecatcher]

Happy to knock one of the highest priced catchers off my list...still waiting to pick up an Irv Lewis T207 at some point. Ironically, both were Boston National players, although Irv never actually played in a major league game.


Patrick

[jbl79]

That's a great looking T205 Matty. Awesome pickup!

[Rhotchkiss]

Two more Evers Chicago Shirt for my growing back run -- beaters for sure and hopefully just placeholders, but great to acquire two of the more difficult front/back combos. Thanks Luke!!

Still need many more, so please email or PM me if you have any you want to sell/trade.

[Vintagecatcher]

Congrats Leon on that nice looking Matty T205!

Patrick

[kailes2872]

This beauty came yesterday as a gift. He isn't pretty, but he's all mine and where else can you find a a Matty with an Old Mill back AND a Sweet Cap Front!

[Jobu]

[Luke]

Kevin, I hope that is real, but I don't think so.

[mrvster]

I have seen similar cards like yours.....please don't take offense, but I believe your card is not "correct"

cardboard looks not authentic even at first glance.....unfortunately ....


send it to me if you want me to check it out.....glad it was free

[kailes2872]

All Good - The person who sent it to me is a fantastic guy with whom I have bought a bunch of stuff from in the past couple of months. Assuming it is no good, it was without malice. I am no worse for wear. I just got a kick out of the over print.

I was all excited about being able to post on the main page

Was glad to fill a few holes in my Providence set thanks to a few board members.

Very interesting card of Frank Frisch from 1931 from Japan. About the size of a T-206.

[pitchernut]

Not sure but from what I understand these are not too common.
