First post ever here, hoping I don't screw this up....

Recently decided to transition solely to vintage and picked up these two: W516 Heinie Groh and a W529 Jack Dempsey. Nothing super fancy, but really excited nonetheless

[Casey2296]

Nice 1st post Parks, welcome.

Another pick up for the fledgling Cracker Jack Collection.

Came today as part of a lot from the last Huggins & Scott auction

[mybuddyinc]

I have been working on my mid-tier set for about 5 years now. Ol' Stoney McGlynn has alluded me all this time .... Thanks to Luke for finally hunting him down for me................. ...... as an aside: I had to look him up, as I figured his nickname wasn't based on "today's" assumption .... He seemed to have been the Iron Man McGinnity of the minors, with amazing number of innings pitched, complete games, etc........ Therefore known as "The man of stone" or having a "stone arm." Just adds to the interest, imo ..............

Alperman is #32 of my SC150/649op replacements (still need Pastorius and Matty/white []).

Other two, just kind'a cool .....

I’ve never seen that before. Wow.

[maj78]

It’s a different card for sure with the three different photos. I’ve always loved it because it may be the best, most clear actual photo of Babe’s face on a baseball card...at least a card issued during the time he played.

[wazoo]

T213 time!

Woke up this morning to find I was the owner of this Type 1 Coupon cigarettes card of Frank Chance. Only the 2nd example of a Type 1 I have ever owned. When I went to bed I didn't think I had a chance to win it because cards like this are not in my collector budget, but sometimes these things just work out. Happy to have it.

[Jobu]

Sweet card!!

Nice cards, Wazoo and Jonathan, where did you find those? I have an example of each, and both were very difficult to find.

[gabrinus]

Great cards guys...agree with Rob...that Krause is rare...Jerry

[itjclarke]

The way prices have taken off, glad to have grabbed this guy. Low grade, but still very presentable, and didn't have to shell out $15K.

Frank Arellanes-

Along with Sandy Nava cited as one of the first Mexican-Americans to play in the Major Leagues. His most productive season came in 1909, when he recorded 16 wins with a 2.18 ERA as the replacement of Cy Young in the pitching rotation, leading the American League in games finished (15) and saves (eight).

Born in Santa Cruz Ca. he died at age 36, a victim of the 1918 Spanish influenza epidemic.

I won mine in Board Member Any Sandlers Auction. I think the Krause came from the same source. I know it has a tack hole but I will happily trade it for the heavy creases that I have seen on most of these. Especially for an example of a Hall of Famer. Having handled a few of these the card stock is very thin and fragile. Much more so than a T206 or the type 2 and 3 Coupons.
I also picked up a set of 1968 Oakland A's photos/ postcards that included a Reggie rookie. That I hope to get signed.

Yes sir. Same source. Congrats!

[RCMcKenzie]

Thanks, guys, I have won some nice stuff from Sandler's auctions in the past. I forgot to look at this one, congrats.

Just got these but I ended up becoming interested in going a different direction while they were out getting graded so they won't be mine for long lol. The Collins was uncatalogued/undiscovered up to this point, meaning this is the only one known to exist AFAIK.

[Frank A]

Just picked up this Babe Ruth 1930 Indiana-sport-Avion card. Really happy to get it even in this condition. Very scarce Ruth card.

Nice Jason. I still need one of those for my Jersey City collection since he's wearing his JC jersey in the photo.

Scored this 1909 Crawford Pin last night on Memory Lane. This will go great with the other version of the Morton's Bread Pin I have of Crawford

Thanks! Jersey City....that makes sense. Couldn't quite figure out what was going on with the uniform.

[jayshum]

Got this T200 in the recent Heartland Auction. The bottom edge looks like it was trimmed (rather unevenly) which accounts for the grade, but otherwise not a bad looking card. Now down to Boston and St. Louis National and Cleveland and New York American to complete the set.

REA Win. Anxious to see what the big one will hold and how crazy the prices will get.

Recently picked up a few more E98s for my set. Love these things! Also, these are my first blues.
