February Pick Up Thread

[Epps]

Time to start a new month!

Thrilled to finally pick up a T211 and commit to starting this set. It'll be a slow burn, but only 74 more to go

Wow great and quick start to the month

Tough set to commit to. But great and unique set

Good luck with it

Very happy to start the new year with this.

Acquired, but not in hand, is this 1925 Turf Cigarettes card of Hall of Famer George Sisler from the recently ended Brockelman Auction.

It has been on my wishlist for years, as it has all the obvious attributes of a classic card. It has a colorful action shot of a hitter that doesn't seem to resemble George Sisler, the depiction also being of a righthanded batter instead of a lefthander, the abbreviation of his name on the backside misidentified as "C.H.", his batting average for 1922 written as "41,979" instead of .420, a mention of a baseball monument in Washington that was never built, and all-time great name for the cigarette manufacturer...Alexander Boguslavsky.


Brian (I will provide bigger scans when the card arrives) edit: got around to scanning this bad boy, so promise kept, now carry on with your day.

I crossed a few more E98s off my list.

As as aside, something interesting (at least to me ): Joe Kelley never played or managed NY AL. During Coupon-2 issue he was the head scout for the them (why waist a good image ). I do not know if there is another player/manager that is depicted as a scout ????

Fun, fun, Scott

Nice start and enjoy the journey Scott. Looks like you were able to land 9 from the Federal League. Your Coupon examples are proof that collector condition, and even lower condition, T213-2 cards can have images that are very bold and colorful due to their glossy finish.

Those are my favorite t cards of all. Love the green borders and fantastic Red Sun backs. Boy, are they hard to come by. Very nice. Congratulations!

I'm in day four of five sea days returning from Hawaii when I see BrianP's clever introduction of his mini-subset of R314 cards. I'm thinking: "Brian's idea is so clever, it deserves an imitator. What mini-subset do I have?"

Turns out I have one. But, it was not obtained this month. Hence, a new thread. Without further delay, in homage to Brian's creativity, I offer my mini-subset of OJ Washington players with hands on knees -- the one hand on each knee division:

(Edited to say: "Oh, well. I thought it was a new thread.

Haven't been picking up much lately but did pick up a few new N172 Old Judge cards I liked and thought it would be fun to make a video sharing some of my favorite cards I have from that set (including the new cards)

Newer pickups:
N172 John Crooks (Sliding Pose)
N172 John Tener (would go on to become Governor of Pennsylvania & President of the National League)
N172 Frank Foreman (Baltimore) -Great image

Great card, Jeff!

Big thanks to Luke for a trade that landed me a nice Cobb. Luke was the best and a pleasure to work with.
