June Pickup Thread

[M's_Fan]

I'm pretty excited about my first card of the great King Kelly . In his Beaneater days, as catcher. Love those gloves!

And here's another shortprinted T205. This was an eBay BIN I was looking at for a couple of days before I realized it was one of the tougher Piedmont Factory 42 backs. I must say, the card presents a lot nicer in hand than in the scan. In hand the crease is noticable in the gold borders, not so much across the face as the scan shows.

Very excited about this pickup. Definately the cornerstone of my collection.

P.S. Any info on this player would be greatly appreciated. I beleive his name is Clem Kimerer.

I just won this off ebay and am super happy about this one. I had to spend a little bit of my termite money, but figured since I have been trying to pry one of these away from a pair of Board memeber for closing in on two years, with no luck, I better buy it while I have the chance. Frank and David, I will stop the every 6 month offers now for yours!!

I am down to only needing the American Beauty from the confirmed list. Let me know if you have one in any condition, please.

Yeah, I had seen that as well as another entry as Clem KiMMerer. I think they might be the same person because the signature on the back only has one M and the Kimmerer on baseball-reference is listed as playing for Houston.

Jason, thanks for the compliment! I really like it myself.

Britt - great item. You may want to pass this Kimmerer/Kimerer info on to bb reference - it's the kind of thing they like to know about and fix.
