That is a great looking, dark and focused, overprint. Congrats.
Generally, I don't collect too many cards with creasing in the facial area, but this would be a definite exception.
And it's a difficult overprint. As I recall, it was the last one I needed to finish the known set at that time (long gone now). I think 1 more different one has been discovered, but my brain is always a bit foggy...the '70s and all....

A big thanks to Jay for helping out of this one by taking some trade to knock it down a little! Also thanks to Ryan for gathering and turning loose a few of the centerpiece cards in the run!

I’m happy to have a Hooker and a Shag holding down the two Old Mill slots in the backs line! I still have some of my 12 year old sense of humor!

I didn’t plan on adding this back to the run because I never thought I could land one, but knew it would bother me if I didn’t. One more monster checked off!

Enjoy the evening,
Bob

Congrats Bob!! Such a tough back.

Big Thanks to Ed Hans for some nice Coupons, including one of my new favorites .......

Had to have this Kruger --- It has everything !!!! Typewriter front / way cool redemption punch / Buck Barker scribbling .............

Babble time -- It's the St. Patty's parade in Savannah today. That's when all the tourists come and get sloppy drunk, and all the locals (like me) stay away:

Rudolph / a self made man -- He was a very successful pitcher (spit baller) in Toronto, but was annoyed he never got a major lg. chance. Often claiming he'd quit. So he wrote to many team presidents asking for try out, no responses. One day he recognizes a Braves coach on a train and corners him. He pestered the coach enough that he got a try out -- successful -- made team. The team was the 1914 Miracle Braves, which he did very well. In the WS, where Braves swept Athletics, he won both his games: Both complete, giving up only 1 run in each. So here we have a T206 player, who most (including me) just glance over turning into a very interesting Coupon player.

Kruger -- The most interesting aspect being that Baseball Reference shows he never played for Columbus (this may have been discussed before). During those years he played for Kansas City in the American Assoc. For those who care .......

New member here. I am very impressed with the cards posted in the thread, especially the Cobb card. Well done, gents.

I was away from the hobby for close to 18 years and decided to get back in.

I picked up a few cards off eBay to jump start me again, after coming to deals with the sellers.

Clyde Milan b18. Paid $5 at an antique store. Don't think the seller knew what it is.

[tjisonline]

Went to the Philly Show & sold a bunch of 56-69 Mantles, 2 MJs, & a few other cards.

My 2 key March pick-ups were a 1914 CJ WaJo & 1915 CJ Wagner.



Also made a short video

It is one fine card, sir! I am a BIG Cecil Travis fan. One of my all-time favorites, and one of the most underrated, IMO.

+1 Agree

LOVE IT

Picked these up at white plains today. I owned that same signed 33 goudey Grimes years ago, funny how cards sometimes make it back to your collection!

Amazing pickups Jeff

[mybuddyinc]

.................. Have not had a "back upgrade" in quite awhile ........ That and I always enjoy my "slightly OC" ABs ............

up29.jpg

Fun, fun, Scott

[Might be time to get a new scanner .... that vertical pink line is getting annoying ...... ]

[Leon]

My meager pick up. I have a horizontal, 5-cards, R315 strip and this will go with it nicely.

[Tripp Trapp]

Happy to have stumbled across and add this Kroh print anomaly to my collection.

[B O'Brien]

I’ve been looking for a nice E95 Bender for a while. I’ve always loved how his hat shows on this card, and always looking to add some of the really cool looking cards from the pre WWI era. He will go nicely with the little non T206 group.

Enjoy the week,
Bob

[Epps]

Thought I was going to snag this guy on for a song but ran into a fierce bidding war late. Happy to prevail and add this RPPC to the collection!

Wanted it for Cicotte, but happy to add Smokey Joe and a young Tris Speaker to the collection as well.

1910 RPPC Boston Red Sox Spring Training Hot Springs AR - Eddie Cicotte.jpg

[Bicem]

Awesome postcard, was bidding too. Went strong despite the lack of description from REA.

No mention of Wood (or being once owned by Wood), Speaker, Hooper, Cicotte... crazy.

Congrats! Was by far my favorite item in that auction.

Got these beauties from Fed Ex a little while ago. Got into a little bit of a bidding war on the Jordan card.

[Brian Van Horn]

I don't know the identities. I just enjoy the cabinet.

[Leon]

Another type card, D323....a few years later than WWII but sometimes I go off track a little.
Ironically, I had a different card of his for this same series type card in my first collection. Maybe he's a common card in the series .

[refz]

LCS pickups today. Like my $30 Waner? I like my $30 waner 🤣🤣🤣😂😂 I wish they were all this affordable.

Sweet pickup, Jim. Here's my display of what Clark Griffith lovingly referred to as "my little ballclub," his first Washington team of 1912-1915, which went from 7th to 2nd and finished in the first division all four years.
