Absolutely fantastic card, Chris!

My T206 Gibson back run was completed for all of two hours thanks to that card.
The day I got what I thought was the last card I needed was the day REA made the announcement about that card in an upcoming auction.

I have been pretending it doesn't exist ever since

Cheers,

Richard.

[atx840]

Thanks guys!

Richard, I've really enjoyed watching you build your Gibson collection. An awesome accomplish.

Great card Leon, nice little collection of E107s. Love the inscription on the back of the Thomas 'scarce'.....they got that right.

Here's a recent one. Anyone know where I can find a Doc Powers Day postcard to join it? Thanks.

Also that George Kelly is great, It looks like they are looking at his autograph!

[jimhopkins82]

I'm an Athletics fan and have wanted this for a long time, really happy to get one in pretty good shape.

[freakhappy]

Cool postcard, jim...gotta be happy with that one!

Thanks, I've lost on a few in the past but this was the best looking one I've seen yet so was really hoping to get it. Won it for the max I was willing to go and it was even better looking than I thought it would be so I'm pretty thrilled.

[HRBAKER]

Beautiful Harry Davis PC - it's on my wantlist.

[Bicem]

Nice grab on the Davis pc Brian, been looking for a Powers Day pc for a long time too.

Great stuff as usual Jim!

[Jacklitsch]

Me too Jeff...

[HRBAKER]

It's great to know that there will be spirited bidding should one come up!

[eliminator]

1930 W554 Lou Gehrig. A great display piece.

I'm sure there are some coin/currency collector's out there. I know it's not a baseball card, but had to show off the graded $1,000 bill I just got. Just like cards I love the artwork of currency and that was a lot of money back in the 30's!

Gorgeous card! I'm holding onto the hope that a Lyons and/or Ruffing will become available for sale one day. But your Hoyt is a beauty!

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

First cards from the 19th century. They look pretty cool. Were acquired from the BST.

The "Eyes of Laura Mars" version. That is a true oddity.

Hi Sean...Thanks, I think the Ed Konetchy is personally signed, I can't find comparison signatures.

The Kelly postcard also includes Casey Stengel as the Boston Braves manager. The Braves and Browns traveled to Monterrey Mexico in 1941, I think this may be a view from that trip, this RPPC is printed on Mexican RPPC paper.

[h2oya311]

Would you mind sharing the back of your Kelly PC from Mexico? I have a few Mexican rPPCs and am curious what your back looks like.

Thanks, Derek

[bbpostcards]

Here's one I have of Joe DiMaggio, early 1940's, I believe. Note the advertising at the bottom.

Finally got an Aldon Candy overstamp...

Thanks Jim! My c1943 postcard of Roy Campanella has the same "Kodak" writing and postage stamp box. The "Fotografia Dominguez" stamp is slightly different on mine though. I'll post the back of mine when I get to a computer (see below).

Yours is definitely late 1930s to early 1940s based on the stamp box.

[conor912]

Happy to cross this one off my R311 list.

[t206hound]

i like this chance; off center with a 'wet sheet' transfer on front

I got lucky and managed to find a ratty Brooklyn Dodgers for my Casey Stengel Master Set.

...this had to be Spring Training -- look at the sunburns/suntans on some of these Bums .

[wolterse]

Thx to a couple board members, T0m Pr!nce & M!ke He@ler, for helping me get started on my 14 CJs.

[asphaltman]

It was a Yankee heavy day in the mail Saturday.

Cool Devlin. I already have one, but I was eyeing this one for a while for that crop mark. Definitely adds some interest.

[DixieBaseball]

Thanks Steve for a good trade! Dutch...

That's quite a start to a '14 Cracker Jack set! At this pace, you should be done by April. (but seriously, you've got quite the challenging road ahead of you. Good luck!)

....especially in those grades...yowzers.

[yanksfan09]

awesome Cracker Jacks and Yankee exhibits guys!

[Seiklis]

Good month so far for my Indians Ts

[aelefson]

Hi-
I picked up the OJ scanned below at a small flea market in Maryland at the beginning of the month. I picked up the N284s at a small antique shop in Massachusetts yesterday. Normally I do not find cards (usually just memorabilia), especially 19th century ones at reasonable prices.

Yes, I'm in for the long haul

[MikeGarcia]

....has a wicked tear and the corners are gone and it's got fountain-pen writing and has been roughly-treated and poorly-kept but how often does a 1936 Goudey Wide Pen R314 Type 2 Chapman-Werber come along for only $45.....hell , I wasn't even positive that it existed at all ,figuring the checklists were wrong because none had appeared during many years of searching......even the seller had it listed as a National Chicle Fine Pen ( R313 ).... so now the dreaded ''hunt for the upgrade'' begins..........love this hobby !!
