March Pickups...

[edjs]

No one seemed to notice my O'Hara earlier, so I will see if this gets a response. Six down, 33 to go, what do I mean by this statement? (for the advanced T210 collectors)

Once again, a prayer is answered on the BST. In this case, two prayers. The 1908 Brush Ty Cobb (mislabeled 1910) and the Max Stein. Each of these cards have a known graded population of 5. The Brush is best known specimen. The Max Stein would be graded higher were it not for two small holes on top from a removed staple. Needless to say, I am thrilled.

Looks like Mr. Ty Cobb is getting a lot of love in March! Many great pickups so far ranging from Old Judges to Postcards. Congrats to all including Orlando for having his Prayer answered.

I was going to guess players on teams in Tennessee. Then looked and that would leave you with 35.

I am just a amateur T210 collector, good luck on your quest.

Ben, you are no amateur. I now have 6 of the 39 series eight cards that are not in the T211 set, which are possibly the toughest 39 in that series (like the Birmingham and Memphis cards). I was just seeing if I could get any response to one of my posts. Like the O'Hara I posted, I post cards that are a big deal to me, and often get no response. It makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong? Anyway, I'm glad someone sees my cards, thanks!

This is an awesome site but unless you are posting a very expensive card it rarely gets any response in the monthly show off threads.

I am having enough trouble finding beaters in my price range in the T210's that I have not attempted any of the T211 cards.

Ben, I thought we were a group of collectors who shared a love for cards. Isn't this the place to share recent acquisitions regardless of price? I view it as a place that I can share my excitement with the only people on earth who would understand. To call it "showing off" is disrespectful and Presumptuous. I personally don't need to "show off" a damn thing. And since I didn't print the card, am not related to Ty Cobb, and did not cure Polio, I am not sure what there would be to show off about. I am sharing my excitement with the only people who will appreciate it since my wife, kids, and friends don't. I have always liked your posts, and you seem like a decent guy, but that is out of line.

Guys,

You both are really good guys on here. I don't think Ben was aiming at you, Orly, or your beautiful Cobbs. It was just a response to me. I think we have enough strife on other threads, and I was not trying to make any kind of statement one way or the other. I really was just curious if anyone read anything I write, because I rarely get any kind of response. Both of you are top notch guys that appreciate the cards, price be darned. I value the contributions of both you guys. Sorry if my comment got things off track here, and I hope we can all be friendly with our discourses. Let's all have a fun day, I hope?

I was just stating a fact that high priced and high graded cards get all the replies. The lower end stuff is just as nice to see but rarely get any replies. This has been brought up many times before. It was not meant to be derogatory against anybody.

3 new T206 Evers, Chicago Shirt, to add to my back run effort, which already includes a Red Hindu and Broad Leaf 350 (sorry for teh busted pic). Please email or text me if you have any Evers or Tinker (bat offs) for sale or trade.

Nice cards Ed and I liked the O'Hara too when you posted it. I was lazy with my bidding on the Miller and missed out. Im glad it went to a fellow board member.

Thanks, Jason, I was stoked to get them. That O'Hara is just puzzling me. When a card sells on my one bid, way under what I thought it would sell for, I always wonder if there is something I am missing. Then, I post it here, and start thinking by the silence, people don't want to tell me that I got suckered by my purchase. Anyway, enough of me for a while.

Ed - I don't frequent this site as much as I would like to, but I just ran across this thread and your pickups! 2 rare cards right there. Chattanooga boys!

Very nice -
