Agreed. Ruth cards continue their popularity. Great pick ups and the montage Ruth is a wonderful card.

First are the four cards that came from the recent Huggins & Scott Auction. Thanks to board member Scott who gave me the opportunity to add them to the rebuilt collection....
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then, as a Christmas gift for our son, who finishes his Masters Degree in English Lit this coming spring, a card that has a stamp of F. Scott Fitzgerald (supposedly). When studying in France for a semester several years ago, he became quite taken with Fitzgerald, and since that time, I've been trying to find a card with his stamp (supposedly) that I could justify the price on. This was on Ebay (where the scan is just a screen shot, I've already wrapped the card), with no real mention of the stamp. Came by it pretty cheap. ![]() ![]() Again, thanks to everyone who is helping me rebuild Howe's collection.

I call these pick-ups the "got shut out in auctions but had the itch to buy something" collection.

Picked up what I expect to be the most difficult back in my Chief Meyers T205 back run, an American Beauty back. Just need a Cycle and a Piedmont Factory 42 to complete the run.
Thanks Luke. Patrick Last edited by Vintagecatcher; 11-23-2015 at 07:11 PM. |

Congrats on getting it - I was hoping it went to a board member, and am really glad it's going to be a meaningful gift.

I love this thread.
I have mainly collected 1960s and 70s. I only have 5 pre-war cards and none older than 1933, but this forum and especially this thread have inspired me to pick up at least one T206 and to focus more on this era. Thanks for sharing some really tremendous cards!

It's great when we see something in our realm and we like it so much we want one. It was the way I decided on half of my first collection.

Just picked up this Lawrence J. Corcoran N172 card, shown on Indianapolis. Word on the streets is that he also has a London variation.

Im counting this as the T209 Mascot card as I dont believe one is pictured in any other card from the issue. The backgrounds of T209 are littered with fellow teammates and I think I have a very interesting theory on one ill post soon after I think on it a little more. Oh and if anyone has the name of the 1910 Fayetteville Mascot I would be most grateful.
Thanks to seablaster Hi K I found out two brothers by the name of Napier were the Mascots for the 1910 team. Until its determined which brother it is G. or E. ill just call it the T209 Mascot Napier card. Last edited by Piratedogcardshows; 11-26-2015 at 10:35 AM. |

Glad to see that went to someone on the board! I was watching it, but it wasn't in my budget. Very cool item!

I was actually hoping for a breakdown by pose and variation.John, at 41, your Corcoran collection must rival your entire OJ Pittsburgh team set.
