Acquired, but not in hand, is this 1925 Turf Cigarettes card of Hall of Famer George Sisler from the recently ended Brockelman Auction.

It has been on my wishlist for years, as it has all the obvious attributes of a classic card. It has a colorful action shot of a hitter that doesn't seem to resemble George Sisler, the depiction also being of a righthanded batter instead of a lefthander, the abbreviation of his name on the backside misidentified as "C.H.", his batting average for 1922 written as "41,979" instead of .420, a mention of a baseball monument in Washington that was never built, and all-time great name for the cigarette manufacturer...Alexander Boguslavsky.


Brian (I will provide bigger scans when the card arrives) edit: got around to scanning this bad boy, so promise kept, now carry on with your day.

I crossed a few more E98s off my list.

Andy,

Nice E98s man. How many more do you need now?

Got my first 1914 Cracker Jack. Hope to eventually pick up all the A's as I slowly collect the monster.

Just crossed the 50 threshold, so 70 more to go. Of course that includes all of the big guns, but I'm enjoying the journey!

As as aside, something interesting (at least to me ): Joe Kelley never played or managed NY AL. During Coupon-2 issue he was the head scout for the them (why waist a good image ). I do not know if there is another player/manager that is depicted as a scout ????

Fun, fun, Scott

Nice start and enjoy the journey Scott. Looks like you were able to land 9 from the Federal League. Your Coupon examples are proof that collector condition, and even lower condition, T213-2 cards can have images that are very bold and colorful due to their glossy finish.

Completed my Einstein back run, LOL.

Sorry about the pics--scanner hasn't been connected in years.

Okay, no cracks about how they all look "relatively" similar.

Congrats, in "Theory" you've finished, there may be unknown variants not taken into consideration though.

Theoretically, you are correct, and I may need time travel to find them!

Jerry, yes, corrected.

Brian, Thanks. That's what I like about them, lower grade condition is totally acceptable ....... and in my range ..............

Speaking of condition, fun fact, there is only 1 PSA 6 in PSA pops., NONE higher !!

Fun, fun, Scott

Picked up this T206 Hal Chase white cap card from the BST (thanks Jon), not only because it is a cool beat up card (with a Piedmont 150 back, for those keeping score at home), but also to be able to provide a suitable alternative to the infamous chewed up T206 portrait card of Rube Waddell, which I was the underbidder on many years ago, during stretches when the Waddell is missing in N54 action for an uncomfortably long period of time.

First two pick ups of February were the final two I needed to complete the T206 set of 19 Senators. Elberfeld arrived today and the Johnson portrait was picked up at the Pre-War show in DC!

37 towards 205 for the back run, but that's where the marathon of collecting comes in. A huge thanks to board members wazoo, marcdelpercio, and lug-nut for helping me pull everything together, and to the board member I sat with in DC last weekend that gave me a very fair deal on the Johnson portrait (who's name is escaping me - I hope the drive back to Cleveland was easy!).

Thank you to this community, this is a set I've been waiting 30 years to complete.
