Couldn't resist - Hindu SLers are my kryptonite.

And who says T206's are overrated and spoke of too much here. By looking at the pick ups thus far looks like they're still the main focus for many.
Great snags everyone.

tony that chesbro is a beaut...I've always coveted that card...but never owned one!

i think the discussions regarding T206 are commensurate with the % of T206 collectors on this board...definitely the most popular prewar set by far.

Thank you Pete. Chesbro is a toughie to find with nice color and clear registration. This one has both. I was happy to of snagged it.

Unless the back is missing, how can this be a 1? I just don't get this aspect of card grading--the relatively small degree of damage that can bump a card all the way down the scale. I guess the idea must be that this is the minimally acceptable condition for most collectors to consider, so it doesn't matter that 95% (or whatever) of examples of this card discovered will be in this condition or worse, so they should all get the same grade, allowing for much finer condition differences to account for the difference in grades of the other 5%. If this is the theory, I don't agree with it. It seems to me that grades should reflect the condition of the entire population of cards proportionately across the entire spectrum of the scale. Having said all this, I'm a memorabilia guy, so what do I know?

Brian, great Wagner! That small slit in the bottom right accounts for the 10. I bought it already in the holder, but it must go through the back of the card. Otherwise, it would be a solid 40. It's one of the nicest 10's I've ever seen with super color/image, and the nicest one I've owned.

Nice upgrade for my humble monster

[Jaybird]

Nice AB Willis, Jim! Looks great and will surely keep your others company

[Matthew H]

Nice one Greg, those are addicting.

[GregMitch34]

Matt, you in movie or TV biz? My son, two years out of film school, in LA now in the "industry."

[Matthew H]

Yes Greg, I'm three years out of school. I do Sound Design for film and tv. I prefer film, there's more time to get it right.

Two more in the quest of all forties...

This came in yesterday

[atx840]

Nice ghost John, first I have seen on a coupon!

Two upgrades and two fun pickups from KyleTexas. One of the best BST experiences I have had, looking forward to the next interaction.

[Jaybird]

Interesting... That red Hindu on the far right looks like one of those tear sheets on telephone poles. "If you need a math tutor call 310-555-1212", etc.

[mintacular]

Sweet Red Hindu's, I would like to own one at some point. I thought that Kyle got unfairly maligned albeit he probably did overreact so maybe you scored a softer price as a result of the perceived/real misgivings surrounding his hindu offerings

[bigwinnerx]

I'm new here (already bought from a few of you). First of all thanks.

Have an opportunity for a June pickup. Have a lead on a PSA 2.5 Mathewson portrait Sweet Cap 150 (can't make out factory #)

Qualifiers: not a NY collector. But, if it's a deal, I'll make it. Any thought on price?

To make this more relevant, received a lot of 4 raw from marcdelpercio, a graded Doolan from npa589, and working out an exciting deal with bbcard1. Thanks to all.

[GregMitch34]

Just picked up this card tonight. First time I've caught The Train.
