That's a great piece. Is it dated anywhere, or am I just overlooking the date?

Congrats on the pickups. Still regret moving my Moore recently.

Non-sports, but these just arrived back from PSA and I'm very pleased with the grades. PSA has graded only 39 cards from the set, and both of these are technically PSA total pop 1's as they're the only blue-back versions graded. Of the 39 cards from this set graded, there's only one 7...no others higher than my six, and only one other six out there.

I think this came from Val on an eBay auction. For about half the price of an edible Goose, which happen to fit perfectly in my giant smoker!

These Kashin HOFers, like Goose here, are really growing me! They display great! I’ll probably add a handful of these guys since they are really cool dollar for dollar compared to more mainstream stuff right now.

Enjoy,
Bob

Thanks! Yeah, I noticed that, too. It is not dated. I have another one handwritten by Harry, and it is dated 1885.

I've been working on a Jersey City Skeeters prewar team collection for years and have been able to obtain just about all the obtainable cards out there, but still needed this 1909 Colgan's Chip of Abstein. I've been looking for one for years and just never saw one come up. I've posted in the BST here a few times over the years and never got a response.

Well, a couple months ago I tried it again and a board member reached out and said he had one that he would let go. Then I took a break from cards for a while (I didn't plan on it, just got really busy at work and sometimes just take a break for no real reason) and completely forgot that he and I had started talking about the Abstein. Then, when I came back to my cards and Net54, I remembered we had a conversation going and I reached back out to him letting him know I was still interested. He was kind enough to continue with our deal even though I basically ghosted him in the middle of it. And I am now the proud new owner of this baby! This was definitely the longest time a deal has taken me to seal (all my fault of course) but I want to shout out a huge Thank You to gentleman who put up with me and sold this to me. You're awesome man!

This completes my Colgan's Jersey City team set as well.

Thanks so much Phil! I was very excited to finish the Colgan's with this last one. Here are the cards I know of that I still need for the Jersey City team collection.

1889 N173 Old Judge Cabinets
Joe Gerhardt

1889 N172 Old Judge (these are all 1889 team change variations)
Joe Gerhardt, Bill Holbert, Tom O'Rourke

1909 D380-1 Clement Bros
Butler (wearing Jersey City uniform in image)

1912 E254 Red Borders
Hanford, Waller

1912-13 T215 Pirate Back
Billy Purtell

1913 E270 Tin Tops
Hanford (May not exist), Kelly, , Knight, Manser, Purtell, Viebahn

1915 T214 Victory Cigarettes
Wiltse

So you can see why I consider this Colgan's to be the last attainable card that I needed.

Here is John Titus, sans his expensive T206 mustache. An added bonus to this T205 card is that the Hassan 30 back was previously unverified for Titus. If indeed it has not been verified before, well, here it is.

Picked up my first Diamond Stars card. It’s got a little scuff of some kind but otherwise in nice shape.
