What Did You Pickup in February?

[ValKehl]

Nice pickups, Phil! Let me guess, the "big one off my checklist" is the E106 of Germany Schaefer - right? If nothing else, it's the most colorful of your pickups and my favorite.

Daryl, your cards proved that the theory that Mello Mint must have put the gum inside the card and then pushed up the sides, leaving creases in the middle. I once had a beautiful Wagner batting except for the creases straight down the middle.

John, there are many without the vertical crease as well. I think it’s been said that some employees may have taken Newman the Mailman’s approach and folded the cards before inserting them into the packs, while others did not.

There were also “free sample” packs that were wider and didn’t need the cards to be folded in order to fit.

Thanks Val, I was mesmerized by the Schaefer also, love the horizontal look, matches the Matty horizontal. A card doesn't always have to valuable to be valuable to me.

I always really liked the look of the W515 Bancroft card, and now your example is no longer a Dave 'Sleeping Beauty' Bancroft.

Great month so far everyone!

This Black Old Mill helps me complete this (mini) player run...

[ValKehl]

For many years, I have been collecting N172 Old Judge cards of players depicted with Washington. There are a few tough players that I have been unable to acquire even one pose of. One of these players is Sam Wise, who was purchased by Washington from Boston in April 1889. Well, much to my surprise, I came across a N173 Old Judge cabinet of Wise shown with Washington on eBay, and I am beyond thrilled to have won it! This is the first OJ cabinet I have ever owned, and I suspect that it is a 1-of-1.
