Sorry about the size. I'm not sure how to make it smaller.

Trust me Jim she's ok with it. Very nice card. Any significance to the mark/stamp on it?

[atx840]

Similar pen mark?

[Robextend]

Went astray from my usual pickups with this T205 Johnson. I thought it was very presentable for the grade.

I agree! Nice pickup.

[old-baseball]

A few upgrades and reverse variations.....

An upgrade to the tougher Holke (Throwing), also has "reversed" back.



Another upgrade to my Carl May (Incorrect Name), also with the "reversed" back.




A Carl Mays (Correct Name) with a tough Type 3 reverse.




A nice look Joe Wood (tough with no print line on right), also with the "reversed" back.

[Texxxx]

A few I picked up in an auction today.

[joeadcock]

Just got this. Put it on cabinet thread. Figure I would add it here also. Add to my type collection. Obak Cabinet

Nice stuff Bruce

[Jaybird]

Beautiful

[leaflover]

Not sure why, but this card(Bergen Batting) has been a "toughie" for me.

[joeadcock]

For type collection

[atx840]

No clue what these are but I liked them. dated 1881

[RGold]

Chris, nice Victorian era trade cards. The sports themed ones are always fun to find.

Apparently they don't want to get into the business of even suggesting the authentication of a stamp, which is more easily replicated. Still, an amazing and gorgeous card...

I was bidding on that card - haha. Nice pickup.

[daves_resale_shop]

Really excited to add this one to my autograph collection...

A special thanks to Jim Stinson for the great deal & pulling out all the stops to get it to me today!!!

Picked this one up last night just waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Have a couple other raw copies of this card (he is a distant relative) but this is the first graded one.

[TheBig6]

Card Show Pickups, thin pickins

[caramelcard]

Mark,

Nice D322 Dreyfuss pickup. I battled it out with you a bit trying to complete my set, but I knew the hof collectors would prevail.

Next time perhaps.

Rob

[SushiX37]

Fathers Day present from my wife and son. Not Pre WWII, but still Tinker and Evers.

Rich

[jb217676]

Added a couple more postcards to my collection...

[Zeenut]

Recently scanned cards.

[Vintagecatcher]

Finally added a 150 Subjects 1910 Obak to my PCL catcher collection.

It also is my first "Unusual" slogan back example.

[T206Collector]

Picked up this beauty, and couldn't resist the temptation to disfigure it (electronically, of course).

[calvindog]

[ullmandds]

I love the Devilin...and the Donlin!

[rustywilly]

Thanks Rob. I've been looking for a low-graded example since he was elected. Good luck sir.

Love the Donlin!

[Bicem]

Great Donlin pc Jeff.

[Vintageismygame]

Picked up a few B18's. I am well on my way to the basic set of 91 as I have 45 now.

Matt

[bcbgcbrcb]

Very nice Zeenut Vance, that's a really tough one to come by.

[Davy_Kangaroo_Jones]

Some low-grade fun.

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Jamey. I am happy to pickup the Bressler, but I am particularly happy to pickup a postcard of "Greenfield Jimmy":

[pete zouras]

[jp1216]

My first Wamby. Didn't realize how thin the paper stock is on E220s. Trimmed and well loved.

[Howe’s Hunter]

I’m posting this in both the June Pick-Ups thread, and the Positive Experiences on net 54 thread, because it applies to both.

Apparently, back on July 23, 2008, I sent an email to Sean (milkit1) asking a question about the back of several cards he had listed on the B/S/T section. He replied less an ten minutes later that none of the cards had the stamp on the back I was looking for.

Fast forward three years, ten months and 26 days, I get another reply on the same email from Sean, saying he had found a card with Howe’s stamp on it if I was still interested. Two days later, #207 in the rebuilt collection arrives in my office.



I think, or hope, that this is what Network 54 is all about. It’s a bunch of adults who all admire little pieces of cardboard with men in short pants and spiked shoes pictured. It shouldn’t be about “how much is this worth?” or “someone told me this, but now someone else says ...”. Its about passion, and sometimes, you find someone who shares your passion, or at least someone who helps you with a fix when your habit needs it.

That said, I’d like to thank Chuck, Frank, Art, Paul S., Martin, Judson, Barry, Cy, Danny, Mark, Brian W., Coach Jeff, Jim M., Tom, Matt, Tony S., James M., Darren, Jim S., Leon, Mike, Andy, Joe D., Mac, Joey, Bob, Quan, Andy, Paul M., Gary, Pete, Thomas S., Greg, Patrick, Frank A., Mike H., Dr. Ed, Brendan, John S., Peter F, Turner, Sean, Trae, Josh, Joe, Erick, Al, Daniel, Matt, Dave, Bobby, Mark, Iggy, Jim R., Pete Z., Tim, Darrin, Dave, David, Jeff and anyone else I’ve accidentally left off the list of Network 54 board members who have sold me cards or pointed me in the direction of cards. Thanks to you all. You’re all what makes the board the positive place that it is.

hi ed!
glad to help. love those unique collections, like marks signed 1934 goudey set, and pauls signed t206s. I'm going to use this opportunity to plug my signed 1933 goudey set. I currently have about 178 different. many of which came from the help of fellow board members

[wolfdogg]

Picked this 1932 Sanella Type 1 up of The Babe....along with the other 111 cards in the set.....

I'm jealous of your collection.

Even before I joined this site, I used to follow your website (I think). Didn't you used to own some high-end T206's (Plank) and switched to signed T206's?

[HRBAKER]

[jthorst75]

Picked up this gem recently. Always wanted the Johnson portrait, it has to be one of the best in the set.

[teetwoohsix]

Great stuff everyone !! From the B/S/T, thanks Ed W.- always a pleasure to deal with you.

[peterose4hof]

Cool story Ed. Well done Sean!

I picked this up from buythatcard on Ebay last night. Can't wait to get it in hand. It's one of the cleanest, sharpest ones I have seen.



I'm thinking of having it graded. Does anyone understand the grading standards for why some strip cards get a numerical grade and some get an authentic? Or is it an impossible algorithm?

[DixieBaseball]

Thanks Rob !

[ullmandds]

that maul is a beauty!!!!

[dstudeba]

Joe - nice N175, my favorite card in that auction.
