Are most T206 Ray Demmitt St-Louis cards creased?

[sbfinley]

Adrian,
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but most of the negative comments you recieve are because some of your questions could be answered by a quick search or study. Pace yourself. It is easy to get burned out in this hobby especially in the beginning. If you don't have a concise focus it is easy to overextend your collection and your budget leaving you with a stack of cards that are really nice, but honestly do not have any meaning to you. Don't chase something because it is expensive or rare. Chase something because it connects with you. Welcome to the board and good luck. I'd honestly rather have ten more people like you that ask a large amount of simple questions out of curiosity than one more person who gets bent out of shape about someone's dealings, words, or actions. This is a hobby that at its purest form sparks a child like emotion in all of us and I'd prefer curiosity over frustration. PM me and I'll give you my email. Feel free to shoot me any questions you have about the hobby.

And to answer your question: most lower graded t206's are going to have some sort of problems. Creases and wrinkles are chiefly among them. Occasionally you will find lower graded cards with back issues or slight paperless that knock them on the scale but leave them with a very appealing front.

Thanks I appreciate your comment very much!!!

My focus is going to be the rarer T206 cards and then the same cards with different backs and as many HOF I can get in the 1887 Old Judge set over the next long long while.

Steven I agree, he seems interested in learning, but this is like my wife telling me to take the garbage out over and over. Or mow the lawn, whatever. Or fingernails on a blackboard, if anyone knows what a blackboard is.

Adrian...Zone...Peter,

If I may be so bold...please embrace an American axiom (starting point for discussion.)

We have two ears and one mouth....and should use them in that proportion.

Just a suggestion...actually, I have done about 20 times more reading than typing while visiting this site.

Best,

Eric

Hey guy, we do not have "hazing initiations" on this forum for "rookie" members....so, cut the "crap" !

We appreciate your passion for seeking as much info as you desire. But, before you overload us with posts, try the SEARCH function. There are approx. 1000 pages
of prior posts dating back to 2001 on every pre-WWII baseball card subject you can think of.

So, cool down, click on the SEARCH feature.....type in the box your subject of interest.....and, enjoy the reading.

You will find this practice to be enormously informative.

Im new to the forum. Ive been collecting for 30+ years and still enjoy learning about all aspects of our hobby. The search feature is a great tool. Sure, I have ?'s about a lot of stuff, and usually there are mulitple threads from past/present that I find the answer in. Alot of good reading on those topics also. Starting a new "thread" is great, but each thread you start, pushes someone else's down the ladder.

[cyseymour]

Peut-etre vraiment embettant quand quel'quen poser beaucoup des questions tres simple un nouveau et un nouveau. Je voudrais t'aider mais apres de temps, je fatigue. Je n'ai pas un problem si tu epeles un mot incorrecte, mais a continuer avec des questions, quand toutes les autres sont fagitues aussi, c'est meilleur si tu prends un pose d'un plusiers semaines. S'il te plait!

Hence the black belt and the white belt each must bend and give and take from each other...but in the end they both grow as people....one learns and the other learns to teach.

Your english is just fine. I make my share of errors and it's pretty much my only language. (I understand some technical mechanical terms in a few languages, but not the surrounding text. Beyond that I can order beer and ask for the bathroom and that's about it.)

The point about slowing down a bit is a good one. Even at the snails pace I collect I find I need a bit of a break now and then. I also find the collecting more enjoyable when I take it as a slower more detailed journey.

That won't work for everyone, but I dislike seeing collectors lose enthusiasm after buying a handful of cards and quit. There are entire worlds of fun to be had beyond the checklists if you don't get burned out.

Sound advice!! I have the intention to take it slower just want to add the T206 O'Hara (St-Louis variation) in a 4 to my set then I will go at a slower pace for sure.

Joe,

I survived Catholic School and know quite well what a blackboard is...and also agree with your assessment of Zone91.

Oh, the Catholic School survival, not me but my wife has many stories. Her brother and her had a nickle to ride the bus home and the Sisters took their nickle for the School. They had to walk home. Wife watched a fight and admitted it , that was the wrong thing to do. She has many stories. I grew up in a rural area, public school and we did what we wanted to do. Teachers were strict, but still lenient. If you know what i mean. Enough, lets talk cards.

Steve,

You hit the nail on the head with this post.

Thank you very much. Again, I found myself getting drug into something I did not intend to become involved with...and...this time, I drifted into another language.

Please accept my sincere apologies.

Best Regards,

No problem!!!

ça me fait chier, Cut the newbee some slack. Hell, if it weren't for the French Navy and General Lafayette, we'd be saying dumb stuff like, "My tart, aren't we feeling randy this evening".

Hi Adrian,
Like you, I am intrigued by the Demmitt and O'Hara T206's. It seems that most of them I have seen are pretty beat up, even more so than most of the other T206's.

If you use the "Search" function and type in "Demmitt" you can find many threads about Demmitt and O'Hara.

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...hlight=Demmitt - this is an interesting poll.

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...hlight=Demmitt - this is also interesting.

I seem to remember another thread several years ago concerning the condition of the Polar Bear cards.

PSA has graded 74 Demmitts and only 20 are graded higher than VG.

Hope this helps.

Rick

I purchased the Demmitt last night and I am looking to buy a (graded one either by PSA SGC or BVG as a 4) O'Hara but there are none on ebay.ca only 2 on ebya.com they do not ship to Canada tryied making a deal but the guy does not want to ship to Canada.

Thanks for the links appreciate it.
