Nice cards everyone! Dave

[jimivintage]

Yet another to add to the HOF RC collection. The Haines was accompanied by a Fisk RC, too. Thanks again, Phil!

I'm guessing this in reference to the Ruth RPPC in the other thread.

[bcbgcbrcb]

You goi it, Jimi

[h2oya311]

For those still in the dark, the Ruth PC was sold by Probstein...I'm taking a wild guess here and assuming your Mulvey was sold by Probstein as well, given the scan you provided!

[h2oya311]

By the way, nice pick-up Jimi!!

[Greenmonster]

I had some success in the last couple of weeks. The Mullin postcard is from a six postcard set of Mullin produced by Billie Jones, this is the first postcard from this set I've managed to find. The Polo Grounds is a very rare Wilkerson composite postcard. The Sullivan card with advertising from the Morrison Hotel is a dupe if anyone has an interesting postcard to trade.

Been a good month for me. If you haven't dealt with dcost328 and are ok with some back damage, then please look at his collection. He was very pleasant to deal with and shipped the cards immediately.

[Jaybird]

Jim- fantastic Wilkerson. Great pickup.

Sorry, rookie OJ collector here

Instantaneous or near instantaneous photography was widely practiced by the time Old Judge cards were produced but it was far easier to photograph a pseudo-action scene when the ball was suspended as desired.

Jim, that postcard read "compliments of Morrison Hotel and Boston Oyster House."

Aren't they the same ones who produced the Grignon post cards a year earlier?

[bbpostcards]

Here's a nice shot of Lou Criger in 1909. Thanks to a very kind and generous board member. See http://www.sportingoregon.com/p839800559 for more and for a few duplicates I added today, and also click "All The Photos" in the upper left of that page for similar things.

Thank you....I thought I saw a line above the ball but i wasn't sure....

I think it's amazing how clear some of the images are considering they had to stay VERY still or risk blurring the exposure....

Amazing pieces of US history, 125 years old and counting!

Sean..Yes the Grignon postcards can be found with the same overprint advertising....Advertising postcards are some of my favorites, here's an example of the Grignon...wish it was in my collection!

[MVSNYC]

Looks like i won these in Sterling...also looks like i'm starting some sort of Chase run

[Sean]

Nice going Mike.

I got the Street catching (scan to follow).

Nice cards...and Chase is overrated.

[MVSNYC]

Thanks guys.

Sean- congrats, how many in your street run now?

Chris- you're right, so sell me yours for cheap.

[Sean]

Mike, I've got Drum, Broadleaf 460, Tolstoi, EPDG, one Sweet Cap, and now this Coupon Type-3. Still a long way to go.

[MVSNYC]

Talk about starting with the tuffer ones.

[TheBig6]

Thanks Mr. Young

I don't collect postcards, but I love these Grignons. I made a run at the complete set in the last REA, but I gave up because I spent so much on something else. But I'd love to get some someday.
Good luck with your collection.

Thanks Rob!

[Sean]

Rob, love those A's pictures.

Thanks Kzoo! Sorry, this belongs in the Post-WWII...my mistake

[the 'stache]

This will mark my initial foray into the pre-war pickup threads. My thanks to Pete (sycks22) for the T202, and Doug (piedmont150) for the T206s.

Nice pickups Bill. I'm a big T202 fan myself, especially since there are always a lot of really nice lower grade examples out there (1-2's can often present like EX- EXMT), that can be had at relatively low cost.

[the 'stache]

Thank you, Ian. They definitely caught my eye the first time I saw them in the latest Robert Edwards auction catalog. I love the variety that the cards offer. An action shot and two portraits to bookend it makes for a very interesting composition. After I read the player bios on the back, I go to Baseball Reference and Wikipedia to learn more.

I am really enjoying myself. There's this whole untapped world of vintage and pre-war cards for me to explore, and it's completely reinvigorated my passion for the hobby.

Those look fantastic! VIVID Colors for something 100+ years old.

[the 'stache]

Thank you, Eric. I love my scanner. I adjust the levels slightly, but that's all I have to do.

[Vintagecatcher]

Happy to see this nice T213-2 McLean arrive today. Will look good next to his T206.

Nice.......blank back? I'll go out on a limb with a wild a$$ guess at the late twenties or early thirties. Dave

[kilo]

yup, blank back... but what do i call it? if i send it to sgc i need more info...

[ThoseBackPages]

i have no idea, but that is a beautiful card

[Matthew H]

It looks like a blotter to me... very cool though.

[Matthew H]

It's really nice to find a specific pose you want in the OJ set...

[Vintagecatcher]

Nice pickup on the T213s RC. I'm still hunting for the Street.
