Wow Joe, you did some serious damage. Great cards.

I picked up about twenty or so SGC graded T205 commons for the set.

And these:

and what a phenomenal way to obtain a Wagner -- trade for it. No commissions, no competitive egos -- just two hard-core collectors duking it out to get fair value for their prized possessions -- with both coming away feeling that they've won. If that does not summarize all that is great within the hobby, then what does?

Congratulations.

Nice pick up. Can u post the scan of your Wagner back? I wonder why it is only a SGC30. It looks better than that.

We have acquired a t206 OM double bar overprint back from a family who found a Old Mill collection from their attic. We were told the collection includes 150+ T210 and 100+ T206 with pure Old Mill backs. It also has a few Old Mill tobacco packs (the family isn't sure those packs are unopened or not but they will check). Here is a quick pic from our digital cam and will get a better scan once a scanner is accessible.

Nice pick-up Scott, only a little over 500 to go to complete the set... at least you got the tough one out of the way!

"I don't normally post much in the pics thread, but I thought I would share what cost me a huge piece of the most important part of my collection, to trade for the opportunity of a lifetime perhaps."

Very nice card Scott. Did this one complete your set? What part of your collection did you dent?

Scott, Please take No offense to my writings about your newest family member

Here goes!

Out of the ashes of the Net54 people arose a Phoenix that would not be denied. His conjuring awareness during the haggling of a Lifetime would soon become the pinnacle of any cardboard collecting beings existence. When the Phoenix Rose to its Completed Awakens, there stood a man with an emotional surge that only Exhausted Screams from Diamond Head Peak could satisfy ones newest addition to his life & Family of Cards.

Your breathing must be somewhat tasking at times, but the extra skip found in your walk has got to be overwhelmingly pleasing to the hobbyist's soul that resides within you!

Congratulations Scott, I am very much inspired NOT to Ever give up the hobby that I truly love.

"Thank You!"

Life's Grand,
Denny Walsh

Congratulations Scott,
You sacrificed some special cards to acquire it. You have to give quality to get quality. Your trading partner should be pretty happy as well. Congrats to both of you.

Congrats to Scott and his trading partner on obtaining great items for their respective collections. Congrats to everyone who found something to add to their collection.

I failed to purchase a single card but still had a great time. I especially enjoyed catching up with Gil Porter, the Knouse family, Rhys Yeakley, and many others.

Best Regards,
Joe Gonsowski

Amazing pickup, Scott. A trade to boot. It doesn't get any better than that.

Jeff - Those Comiskey cards look great together!

the wagner might be the greatest modern trade in history. i'm sure sure someone may have traded a bunch of mantles or pre-war cards along time ago but this card at this time i would think would rank pretty high as being the bigest trade.

nice card and great pick ups by all, i couldn't make it tot he show but its nice to see what everyone buys/trades for.

I was present at Scott's booth for the big trade and got to hold the T206 Wagner in my hand. Biggest trade I've ever witnessed.

I haven't seen that one before...is it one of the scarcer T206s?

congrats!
