Not really a back collector but I make exceptions from time to time. Thanks to a fellow board member.

Thanks Mike ! The piece is a 1 of 1 Helmar Brewing Art piece. I have bought some odd and end pieces from Helmar Brewing (Charles Mandel) since they started putting out their beautiful art cards a few years back and while it is not vintage, Charles & Team put a lot of work and craftmenship into every piece they make and this die cut cabinet was right up my alley since I collect Nashville/Tennessee Type material/Southern League stuff. The piece measures about 5x6 and has tremendous detail to both the front and back. Also, I like the fact that Charles will not make another like this, so it makes it a bit exclusive. Even though 99% of what I collect is vintage material, I like to stray as a collector... Helmar is creative and brings joy to my collecting.

Vintagecatcher, That is one nice CJ Cady. I would take that any day over a SGC 10/20/30. Nice pick-up

Very nice pickup, Michael!! I would love to add a T204 to my PC, but they seem a tad pricey for me at the moment.


Jaybird - Very neat Patsy E92!!

My Dad called me over to his house and gave me these 2 as a gift. Aren't cards the best gift? The Merkle is an ad back and the Griffith a checklist back. I'll get them graded when I have the cash to do so!

This Hick Cady arrived in the mail this morning. It was graded Authentic by SGC which must have scared off a lot of buyers. I can't think of a better card for a lifetime Red Sox fan. The card softens the pain of the "lost weekend" in Texas for this year's Red Sox team.

A boardmember recently picked one up, and I then decided I should have this classic catcher pose card in my collection. Since there are only a handful of PCL cards left on my wantlist, and also only a few more cards on my type card list for the 7 major league catchers I collect, I have started adding a few beautiful examples of other major league players' cards such as the Bill Bergen E101 card as well as this Hick Cady card.

Nice Cady, I happened to just pick up a Cady as well. Very rare Underwood postcard series...

[Vintagecatcher]

Jeff,

Congrats on picking up the Underwood & Underwood PC. It shows that the image on the Cracker Jack of Cady reflects what he truly looked like.
