Many thanks to the person who wanted to add this 1910 Portland Beavers PCL postcard to my postcard collection, along with other wonderful items from the family of one of the players pictured. For more, visit http://www.sportingoregon.com . Always buying!

Got this out of the bargain bin. A bit rough but thought for the price and a harder to find George Burke that it was a good deal. I now own two of these.

Got my Legendary win today and took a new group shot. Need two more to fill out my 40 man roster. Legendary didn't do the card justice with their scan(not that it affected the price at all), but it's the nicest OJ photo I have now. You can see the Indianapolis name whited out on the jersey, on the other London cards I have, you can't.

Not a bad buy for $10.

Nice pick-up Jay, interesting history.

That is a superb OJ John, Corcoran or not.

Thanks for the big picture. I guess you can tell the card is darker because the blackout on the SGC holder looks a little faded too in the picture, but obviously it isn't. My dad looked at it next to another of the same variation and couldn't believe how much better/clearer everything was and the other one I used to compare was the nicest one I could find.

One of the most exciting pickups ever for me. The front is just a whatever W573 strip card but the back is an amazing advertisement for Café Du Monde in New Orleans. Thanks to Leon for parting with it and giving me his very special " I don't want to sell " price.

Finally, my first T-206!! Yeah, it needs a good soaking and there's all sorts of paper loss on the back, but I got it for a ten spot, so I'm not complaining.

Happy to add this sharp one!
