All from board members, thanks guys. Think the yellow Chance Tolstoi signals the start of another back run attempt
|
#102

|
||||
Ryan, you always pick the super prints for your back runs.Well anyway, let me know if you really decide to go for it. This should be interesting.
|

Thanks guys!
Sean, bring Gabby to the east coast, and we'll make it happen! |

I know- absolute proof that I am dumb, crazy and unrealistic. However, I need another project and yellow Chance is a hell of a project, so it should keep me busy for a while; although I am going to take it slow.

I love that. "Project." I'm using that word/rationalization when I buy my next car. "I really had to have that project as it goes 0-60 in 3.2 seconds...." It does soften the blow.

Isn't the hobby just a never ending series of rationalizations?

It’s pretty bad. At least we aren’t buying drugs.

Jeff, cardboard seems to be more addictive (and expensive) than drugs.

I finally got the last back I need for my “t206” master back run.
|
#113
|
||||
|
||||
That's a pretty nice back, Ryan.

Thanks all. I am very psyched indeed.
Mike, the post card is of Hones Wagner, Tommy Leach and Fred Clarke. I am not sure where it was taken, but those are wooden bleachers they are sitting on and behind them |

What other backs do you need, the T215s? Or do you have the Red Crosses as well? |
#121
|

|

I've seen Ryan's album of cards and he must have a secret network of high end collectors he deals with privately. Amazing stuff.

Ryan, awesome pickup, however, you might want to slow down or there will be nothing left to interest you in the next REA auction!
Steve, awesome pickup on the Johnson, would love to know what you gave up for it! DJ

Thanks Sean and DJ. Sean, I still need a t215-1 and t215-2 and have been holding our for HOFers (and conveniently not counting them as a key part of a t206 back run). DJ, I may be taking this next REA (and every other auction remaining in 2019) off!

Ryan, I have the same back run, but I settled for T215 commons (Willett and Mullin). Red Cross just don't come up for sale. I need three of them, Street, Bresnahan and especially Merkle to complete my back runs. Good luck with the HOFs. Maybe you'll find a Speaker, and you can start a new back run. |

Ryan- I have heard this before out of you! At least the taking the rest of the year off! Good luck. Phenomenal card!

Ryan, following this awesome achievement (congrats!), will you have the enthusiasm to continue working on your (much more difficult) Wags back run?

Ryan, great job buddy.

Hi Val! Thanks for the kind words. We are all waiting to see what you got from Steve in trade for the t214 Wajo.
Michael, much appreciated. I blame you partly for this pick up bc you had a big role getting me into rare backs years back. I guess you owe me some money |
#131
|
||||
|
||||
Silly Sean, don't give Ryan any ideas. T215s aren't T206, so he doesn't need them.
|
#132
|
||||
|
||||
Well at least we know that if a Bresnahan T215 comes along we won't have to fight you for it.
|
#133

Ryan- I am 99 percent sure that postcard dates to probably 1911 and was taken at Fogel Field in Hot Springs during spring training. Thanks

Thats a Hella of a card Ryan. Congrats!!

Yeah, it's much nicer than that PSA 1 that sold in Goldin back in March. Good thing that you didn't buy that one.
