Just got this, and it's already one of my favorites - Sunday, August 2, 1892 game at Seneca Park, Rochester NY, showing a ball hit to third, runners advancing from 1st and 2nd, and the 3rd baseman about to field the ball as the runner approaches.

Also interesting in that the city of Rochester banned baseball (I'm guessing just professional) in 1885, then lifted the ban in 1892. A few years later they banned Sunday games.

6"x10" albumen cabinet had the border trimmed ages ago:

Amazing cabinet, Scott!

[Leon]

W503.......I really like this series...

Scott,

****** UNREAL action shot !!!! *****

It never ceases to amazes me, that 100 ++ years later we all can recognize a baseball play (looks like a tough force out at third).


Although I think you have your Rochester "no ball" gap off a few years: According to Baseball Reference, Rochester had no ball between 1881-84.

Those dates sparked a little neuron in my head cavity, since I always thought Rochester has had the longest continuous season streak of any minor league team (1885-present). Second, I believe, is Winston-Salem (1945-present), but could easily be proven wrong.

Thanks, I got the dates from googling - didn't think of checking baseball- reference.com

Bob - 2 really nice looking 10's ! Also pretty tough to find as well. Congrats on those 2 toughies.

Not often I post to this thread lately, but yesterday was a great day for mail.

For starters, a white whale was landed. I have been hunting this card for years...a HUGE thanks to Mike for making it available back in October, and to Trae for safe-keeping it for me.



And not to be overshadowed, a couple more T206 Kelleys for a bit of a back run [which includes a T213-2 and a T215-2]. Thanks for those Trae!





And last, but not least, another Kelley. This time a C46. Thanks Bill!




Regards,

Richard.

[Big Six]

Many thanks to Kevin Mize for working with me and putting this beautiful card in my collection. I've no idea why it's graded "only" VG/EX but can't imagine I'd have it if it weren't...

[Jason Carota]

Congrats, tbob.

[Runscott]

Just received two raw T206's from Mickey Mantlo: Doyle, hands over head, and O'Hara New York. Gorgeous cards at a good price - the cards look even better in-hand than in the scans, and I have been looking for upgrades for both.

[Idiottax]

Picked up the two "error" cards at local card shows.





The other cards I picked up from my first grading experience at SGC.

[joeadcock]

1909 Bastian Candy Pin

[itjclarke]

A couple T202s currently enroute.. psyched to finally have a Devlin Matty whatever the variation.

[Bicem]

many thanks to multiple board members...

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Steve:

[Piratedogcardshows]

Jason - That Waymack is undergraded ! (Really nice fat borders)

[Jaybird]

Nice double play trio, Jeff. Those are nice!

[jb217676]

Here are a few postcards I've picked up recently.
• The John Mcgraw folding PC is from 1907 (a suit for $18.00!)
• The 1907 Detroit Tigers PC is kind of funny, this is how I read the back: "We are waiting for the brat to leave. The weather is fine here this morning"
• The NY Giants PC is c.1915 (Larry Doyle & Arlie Latham?)

[t206hound]

Thanks for the trade Chris!

That Weimer is a beauty - a great example of the Horner portraits!

[Bicem]

Nice Detroit pc Jeff, I like how you can see Cobb on the far right.

[yanksfan09]

A couple E121's

[Vintagecatcher]

Received my Goodwin & Co. auction winnings today: Paddy O'Connor D322


Thanks Bill!


Patrick

[ChiSoxCardboard]

Thought this was a great-looking Foxx, and I had never owned one, so I pulled the trigger earlier this month. Doesn't really fit into anything I'm working on though, so I'm listening to offers.

[tbob]

Any time you can pick up T213s for less than the same card sells for as a T206, you have to feel good

[novakjr]

Another one of my non-baseball, yet baseball related pick-ups...

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Eric:

[h2oya311]

3 more off the list (Heilmann, Vance, Lazzeri), 3 more to go to complete my HOF Zeenut rookie set (Southworth, P. Waner, Cochrane)...

[Brian Van Horn]

Derek,

Nice pickups.

[Cooper1927]

Received these three in the mail today!

Thanks to Shammus for a good transaction!

[ValKehl]

I picked up this much tougher E121/80 WaJo pose from a Board member (thanks again, Matt) via eBay.
Val

[bcbgcbrcb]

Great pick-ups, Derek!

[pete zouras]

[Runscott]

wow - you send them 400 Kalamazoo Bats baseball cards, and you get....an umbrella. If I was digging through my g-g-g-grandfather's trunk and found a Kalamazoo Bats umbrella, I think I would cry.

[t206hound]

Mile high winnings arrived today:
