Trying to work the 150/350 players into the T206 HOF backs line is rough, but after landing this P150 Chesbro, it will be possible to only have one duplicate back in the line, while representing all of the HOFers. Just one more card to go, but it’s a monster and I know it’s out there.

T3 Merkle because it’s fun!

T216 Kotton Nap Lajoie with Philly. Does anyone know how hard this Philly version with the Never Go Out back, really is? This card checked three different boxes in the collection, so it was a must have.

Happy Saturday!
Bob

Nice cards Bobby.

+1 to that. That Hal Chase is in extraordinary shape, including a sharp back. Seems like it should be a higher grade, judging just from the scans.

Great cards Jeff. The Cobb is especially stunning.

Jim,

Awesome pickups! I've seen many underwear boxes, but never one of those bags before.

Jeff,

Wow, Boston Store Cobb, eye dropping pickup!

I actually got the postcard on the right a while back, but just recently sent it for grading and got it back. I know that I am really pushing it on the variations, but if you look at Gehrig's elbow on the left border, they are slightly different on the two postcards. I know, I know, probably just a trivial change.

BTW, in the description for both postcards, it is stated that Ruth is holding a baseball that was used in a game from June 23, 1883, supposedly the oldest known baseball. Does anyone know if this baseball still exists?

One more E98.

................. It is interesting (at least to me ) that both Chance and Tinker have 4 cards each, while good 'ol Johnny just got one .......

.................. Mitchell got one also ..........

Nice Gary. They are variations but probably just different photo croppings. Here is a 3rd type.... (not a new pick up)

AND a new pick up not posted in a new pickup thread yet. Lections...

Thanks, Leon. At first, I thought your card was the same as the second variation. However, after closely examining the "windows" in the background, you are right in that the photo cropping is slightly different in your card.

Does anyone know if this different photo cropping is common for real photo postcards? I had just never paid attention to this before, but I guess it may be due to how RPPC's are created.
