March Pickups...

Won this auction last night--photo, apparently from the railroad company's files, of the Chicago White Sox train stopping under the famous Hanging Bridge in Royal Gorge, Colo., in 1910 on the way to the Coast for spring training. A different photo shows up in tinted postcards and when I posted mine a few days ago it has sparked a popular threat over at the main board where experts have been IDing the players. Fascinating detective work, recommend you check it out.

John,

I actually offered him more money after the purchase. I messaged the seller and told him he had it undervalued and offered him a fair price. He said he would pick up T cards for a buck or two when he was younger and said he has owned the card for a long time. He thanked me for being honest and sent the card.

Very classy move. I hope more good karma comes your way.

Admittedly not the sexiest gals at the dance, but how often can you pick up two prominent hall of famers from the 1920s and have change left from your Benjamin. Add a little background and there you go.

You can never have enough good, honest people in this hobby.

Cheers!

Just got these back from grading and was very pleased with my Gehringer coming back as a 3 was once a 2.5 so always like a bump in a grade. As for the others knew they would come back 1's but again just wanted them graded. A big thanks to bobbyw8469 for letting me piggyback on his order. So this is what I got in today.

1905-15 G.D.&D. Artist Signed Baseball Postcard series, this one picturing a Cleveland player (what you can see of him, anyways). Didn't realize until I found this issue in the Sports Postcard Price Guide (1998 by J.L. Mashburn, Pg 94) that the series includes PCs from 12 different teams (Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Detroit, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, New York, St. Louis, Cleveland, Chicago, and another New York for good measure), all with different pictures and phrases. Neat Team/Type/PC if you like this sort of thing.

Some more really nice finds, guys. I especially like these:

Hughie Jennings has fast become one of my favorite players from the period. And I love the horizontal T206 cards. Nice adds, guys!
