I lost out on the T205 Johnsons in Memory Lane and Heritage, wasn't going to lose this one!

[MVSNYC]

Congrats Chris, great BL460; bold and presents well.

[Rhotchkiss]

Wazoo, your Cycle 460 Gandil is a beauty - congrats!

[whaler]

I have been fortunate to meet some great people in this group. The T212 came to me through a lead from asoriano and the 1911 San Francisco Chronicle with an article mentioning my great grandfather was sent to me as a gift from edjs. Thanks guys!

Sharp Cy. I love those green backgrounds when the color is deep and rich like that.

When not looking at my Ruth ball this month, I have been enjoying my first-ever Pre War baseball card, which I reacquired from a friend here on the boards. Always a good feeling when a card you sold years and years ago wound up staying in the same collection, and an opportunity presents to get it back. The D304 Cobb always struck my eye, love the personality they captured in his face on this one. A little mischief in the eyes. Grateful for the back damage that kept this one affordable, then and now! I know Cobb has a ton of great and attractive cards, yet as someone who likes to choose one card to represent everyone not named Mantle (a strategy that keeps the collection lean and pockets from having lint only), this has always been my pick to represent Ty.

Thank you Matty! That Cobb is very nice. Not sure I’ve seen this Cobb card before. Thanks for sharing.

Hi all! Longtime reader...first time poster.

I picked up this w560 Cochrane at a card shop today for $100. The guy had gotten it in a large purchase of cards.

I did pretty good, right? Excited to add a HOF to my small but growing vintage collection.

Nice stuff this month guys, Matt beautiful Cobb my man wow ! Ray dig the T 3`s, underrated set that presents so well.

[Vintagecatcher]

Thrilled to have picked up this Ira Thomas H C Weasner Individual Player Portrait Cabinet (Providence) from a recent auction. Plan on matting the cabinet outside the portrait oval.

I had hoped this item existed since I have seen another similar cabinet of one of Ira's Providence teammates within the year. H C Weasner produced cabinets of other Eastern Leeague teams with the same ornate design around the oval.

Also added a nice Frank Bowerman T204 to the collection!

[Howe’s Hunter]

Thanks to Frank Dean for sharing with Kenneth Bauman that I collected Howe’s back stamped cards, and to Ben Gehler for responding to our post on the B/S/T thread while we searched for a replacement in Kenneth’s collection.

Thanks to all who have and are keeping their eyes out looking for more. Collection wouldn’t be anywhere near where it is without Net54 members.

And still no idea why all my recent photos come in sideways. Sorry.

Great cards this month, congrats on another Howe pick up Ed.
Chad may need a member intervention at some point, seems he has found the Candy Card rabbit hole...

I'm trying to limit myself to one set that will take some time and patience to put together. If you see me start to post E90-1, E93, E98, heck, any E sets that start with a 9, please intervene!

Nice one Chad!!...Jerry

Outstanding cards this month, so far. There are too many to single out.

Eventually I might upgrade with a HOF'er but for now he will do.

Very interesting card, Pete!

Any idea of the year? If the card specifically says it is a "lady" team, why are there some non-lady personnel in uniform?

"At the end of the 1908 season, Wilkinson disbanded the Hopkins men’s team and created a barnstorming club of “Bloomer Girls” named the Hopkins Brothers Champion Lady Baseball Club. He recruited the best female baseball players he could find, including a superstar from the Boston Bloomer Girls, who played under the name Carrie Nation, the famous ax-wielding temperance activist and suffragette. Wilkinson augmented the team with at least three male players, including a catcher who was also a wrestler and who was willing to take on all comers in the small towns in which they played. Beginning in June 1909, the club traveled in style when Wilkinson leased a Pullman Palace railroad car for their barnstorming tours. In addition to the players and a bulldog mascot, he took along a portable ballpark, consisting of a canvas fence 14 feet high and 1,200 feet long, and a canopy-covered grandstand that could seat 2,000 fans. The next year he added a lighting system for use in night games. It would not be the last time he experimented with lights."

I love this forum.

[kkkkandp]

Sounds like Mr. Wilkinson is the kind of guy I'd liked to have had a drink with!

[ullmandds]

guessing the guy top left is the wrestler????
