Will send a scan if I ever login to my "real" computer and hook up the scanner again

Nice card, Brian. I really like the pose on that card.

By the way, the BST scans are so nice you may not need to scan the card yourself. Just save the scan from the BST auction page (you can view and save the high res version by clicking the magnifying glass icon above the scan on their site).

I'd post it here for you, but I don't want to steal your thunder...

Thanks Chuck!
That's a pretty good idea, my old laptop is...well, old.
My scanner still works for now, but I rarely connect the two anymore.
And I agree , the scans are outstanding on BST website.

Still Smilin'

Nice pickups everyone. Dave, if I were a Cobb collector, I would have fought you long and hard for that fantastic Orange Borders card!

I am happy to add this tough T207 to my collection of cards of the players on the Wash. Senators 1924 Championship Team. Lefty George Mogridge spent 15 years in the majors with a .500 W-L record. Although he won 16 games for the 1918 Yankees, his best years were 1921-24 with the Senators with a record of 65 wins vs. 51 losses. In the 1924 World Series, with WaJo losing both Games 1 and 5, it was primarily the pitching of Tom Zachary (winner of Games 2 & 6) and George Mogridge (winner of Game 4) that enabled the Senators to make it to Game 7. While WaJo became the W. S. hero as the winner of Game 7 in relief, Mogridge played an important role in this game, as follows:

"October 10, 1924. The day the Washington Senators won the World Series for the only time in their 71 year existence. The pitching matchup for this 7th game is Virgil Barnes for the National League champions and, curiously, sore armed Curly Ogden for Washington. Is Bucky Harris crazy? John McGraw, expecting Harris to name a lefthander, now can start Bill Terry against the righthander Ogden. The lefty hitting Terry is 6-for12 in this series, with most of his damage inflicted on Washington’s righthanders. But, McGraw only starts the rookie against righthanders. Ogden strikes out Fred Lindstrom to start the game. Frank Frisch follows with a walk. At this point, Harris pulls the righthanded Ogden in favor of southpaw George Mogridge. It appears the “Boy Wonder” has outfoxed the legendary McGraw. Now, Terry would have to hit a lefthander. Mogridge retires the final two batters of the 1st, George Kelly and Ross Youngs. Terry grounds out in the 2nd and Harris’ strategy pays off when McGraw removes Terry from the contest in the 6th inning."

Mogridge pitched creditably for 4.2 innings, giving up 2 runs (1 earned), however he would have been the losing pitcher had the Senators not rallied to tie the game in the 8th inning.

Love the paypal checkout where it doesn't jack up the rate by 2.9% to cover the extra fees. Shipped the next day. Love it

Wow, Val, that is great history on Mogridge. As a wacko T207 guy that almost brought me to tears, but not quite. Great Card!img3398.jpg

I didn't even know they took PayPal!! I sent a personal check via snail mail!

Also, the rules state that if you paid via PayPal checkout, the buyers premium was SUPPOSED to be 21% and if you paid by check it was supposed to be 18 1/2%. That doesn't appear to have been the case this time.

[Koufax32fan]

I also paid by check. The rules say that the buyers premium would be higher if payment is by Pay Pal - is that not the case?

Can someone from BST chime in?
