WOW, those are some pretty high-grade N172's. Very nice!

[bcbgcbrcb]

Been looking for the postcard version of this for a long time but just picked up this 1920 Postergraph News Supplement, it's in pretty rough shape but it's also huge (14" X 19")

Hi Dave! That is a great photo...I actually picked up a similar photo from a different angle a few months back...it's smaller than your panoramic but of an odd size. It also has a ton of writing on back as you can see in the scan below. I've tried researching the name of the person who donated the photo but I don't know who he is or where he donated it to...

Any thoughts on what it is would be greatly appreciated...Matt

[Jaybird]

look at this listing from the last REA auction which mentions Walter J. Danahy, same as your photo:

http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/.../2010/112.html


"A number of player names are written on the reverse of the mount (7 x 5.125 inches) in pencil, as is the notation "Donated by Walter J. Danahy - Framingham Mass - 1951." (The name "Walter J. Danahy" sounds very familiar to us but we have so far been unable to place it.) "

After a little hiatus from the Monster I return with a renewed purpose. I'm going after a American Beauty back set(AB350F,NF,460).I got this on ebay Friday nite.

[greenmonster66]

[Piratedogcardshows]

[Jacklitsch]

Yes, actually, they do. Jane Mathewson and Blanche McGraw signed a ton of stuff for collectors eager for traces of their husbands' legacies. They often attended HOF weekends with Mrs. Ruth and Mrs. Gehrig, signing loads of things. They're not particularly tough signatures to find.

But, rest assured, these came from the Jeff Morey collection, and he confirmed how he received these nearly half a century ago by mail.

[rustywilly]

Pretty cool Mrs. auto's!

Back from PSA this past week....



And some new pickups...

[BCauley]

Just came in the mail today courtesy of Steve (Ladder7). Throwing together the T206 Red Sox team which isn't too hard since there is a very small number of their cards in the set.

Thanks Steve for the great service!

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Chris, Peter and Brian:

[greenmonster66]

The Horizontal kid strikes again with his first V100s!

[DanP]

Just back from SGC .. two purchased from N54 partners.

My first W600 purchases (from REA Auction), a little rough but they'll have to do for now.

[53Browns]

Wow Dan! Great stuff. I especially love the Anson!!!
