Thanks, Kevin!

Ryan, the E107 Lajoie is a great pickup.

Picked up another John Tiedeman 1911 Obak!

Probably my favorite card in the set.

Some OJ's from the BST. Thanks, Kris

Humorous story about Freeman 171-5. A number of years ago I bought what I thought was a proof of 171-5 and it was explained to me that it was a repro, homemade, fantasy-type piece. I sent it back, and got a refund. Years later, I posted the scan again on here as "One of my favorite 19th images." Once again, it was pointed out to me that the card was not legit, and I realized that I didn't even have it anymore. I do think this n172 is good, so there you have it...

Happy to add this May 16th 1909 Supplement to the North American Magazine to my collection. This is a little outside of my Cleveland collecting wheelhouse, in that it shows the 1909 Lancaster Red Roses Baseball team, but I was drawn to the early image of HOF pitcher and Cleveland Great Stan Coveleski pictured 2nd from top right.

The supplement measures approximately 11" x 14" and is affixed to a thin wooden frame with tape and staples. It may have been trimmed to fit the frame.

If anyone has any suggestions on removing tape and staples, let me know!

Very nice pick-up. I remember seeing this on eBay and completely passing it up without taking a closer look. This is even on my personal HOF "earliest" checklist. Duh! and...DOH! Nice pre-rookie Stan Coveleski find!

Thanks, Bryan. I will probably forget again in a few years and post the Freeman proof scan in a "What are your favorite N173's?" thread.

Nice, Lancaster piece. I would probably leave it just as it is, looks great...Rob
