Shaun,

Nice Matty for your first T206. Probably not your last. The Monster's draw can be quite strong.

this is my FIRST t206 Picked this one up today (with the help and encouragement of my wife) - scanner is offline for the time being, so I had to use the camera...

It's a beater and there are two specks of paper loss on the back - but the crease doesn't take away from Matty's face, and the registration and colors look great in person... and did I mention, it's my first t206.

Thanks Marty and Derek!

On to the next one!

[Pythonfactory]

My February + March pickups:
1) A trimmed OJ with a sharp image
2) A colorful 19th century trade card that shows the old school game (e.g., players standing on the bag)
3) One of the few non-photographic, pre-war cards that depicts a player sliding in the dirt

"Mr. Ruth, pitcher" and others on a 1916 post-season barnstorming trip at Laconia, New Hampshire. The second one of the local team they played and lost to is a recent acquisition. For more on that game and other unusual postcards, major and minor league, visit http://www.sportingoregon.com/.

Oh wow!

[t206hound]

what have i gotten myself into...

[VoodooChild]

I'm psyched to add this "Old Pete" to my E121-80 set. I also finally added a Type 3 back which completes my run of back types and variations:

Just in

[kamikidEFFL]

Luv that Matty. I regret selling mine. May need to buy a new one

Jason,
Nice pickup re the "Old Pete" card, and nice spread of back types and variations!

But, are you saying these 5 examples comprise all of the known back printing types (4) and back variations (2)? I have assumed that each of the 4 back printing types existed with each of the 2 back variations (read top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top), making a total of 8 cards needed to have a complete run. Hopefully, my assumption is wrong, which would mean that I am much closer to a complete back run that I thought I was!

[VoodooChild]

Thanks Val.....you might be right. I'm pretty new to the set. I've only been collecting it for less than a year. From the research I've done, I've found that only the Type 1 back is found in both "regular" and "reverse". If you or anybody more educated on this knows of a Type 2 or Type 3 back found in "reverse" or a Type 4 back found in "regular", I would be interested to know.

Currently, my assumption is that there are 4 back types with only Type 1 having an additional "reverse" variation which are the 5 I posted.

Thanks

[Big Six]

Dipping my toe in to the world of freaks...T205 style...WST on front...



The reverse is miscut with the bottom of the card above showing...

Jason, thanks for responding. I have no doubt that your E121/80 knowledge is greater than mine, as I don't collect this (or any) set. But, with the certain players whose cards I collect (WaJo, Sam Rice & all the other 1924 Senators), I am trying to get an example of each of the E121/80 back types and variations. Last night, I was able to snag a Type 2 "regular" back of WaJo on eBay.
Best,
Val

Nice Matty! Love it!

[Beatles Guy]

Picked this one up last night. Not a huge fan of the issue, but I do like this card.

[t206fix]

Happy to have picked up this card - one of the best t206 poses with one of my favorite backs. A couple of nicks around his face but the back is in excellent condition.

[shernan30]

Picked up this baseball themed trade card from Columbus. Don't know much about it, but I have all day at work for research, haha.

[Jcfowler6]

Players from my favorite team and my favorite season.

[Brian Van Horn]

Jon,

Great pickup, but can you ID the players for us?

Thank you,

Brian Van Horn

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Jon- Spring Training in Hot Springs???

[Jcfowler6]

Yes. Spring training in Hot Springs. 1909 Pittsburg Pirates, four players - O'Connor,Simon,Hyatt,George Gibson.

I was really stoked to get it.

[MVSNYC]

Tony- great Johnson Hindu. i forget if i bid on it or not, at the very least i was certainly watching it. nice combo. i've been collecting rare backs for 20+ years, but only recently have put any emphasis on trying for HOF rare backs.

Here's one i just reacquired.

[bnorth]

Got these 2 T210's yesterday in the mail from a fellow forum member. A Series 1 Marshall and Series 5 Hicks.

[x2drich2000]

1 more Nadja down...thanks Luke

[Iwantmorecards77]

A recent upgrade to my collection:

[Stonepony]

Nice Todd!!

[LKeeler]

Newest E92 Cocoa. Posted elsewhere, but not on the March pick up yet. Thanks Mike!

[the-illini]

My 24th M101-6. One of the coolest things about this set (at least for me) is that I can get a card that I had never even seen before. Thanks Mark for the trade!

[HOF Yankees]

My first ever T206 card, thank you Matt





for being over 100 years old, still looks to be in good shape

[itjclarke]

Nice E92 Evers Luke, that's such a cool image of him.

Picked this one up off BST from rman (thanks Richard, btw- looks like 2nd card arrived safe and sound). I'm finding I like going after lower cost alternatives of the higher cost cards which share image/pose/etc.

[onlythefinest2327]

First time posting a mailday on here. Picked up a nice 55 Koufax rc, and some nice 1952 high numbers that will send off for grading very soon. Thanks guys.

[edjs]

I call this Christy wears lipstick. So, you guys can tell me if I am right (I am still learning about this hobby), but I think this would be the registration is off? I have two questions, though. One, if the red ink shifted, then why is it off on both the left and the right side? Two, is the stray red dots up by the top of his head, on the left side, drops of ink from the print being a little sloppy, or is it something that got on the card later (like a drop of kool-aid)? Anyway, I think this is a pretty "kool" card.

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

Another Southern Leaguer down.

[kamikidEFFL]

That e92 cocoa is nice love the colors.

[GregMitch34]

Thought I'd only stick with my handful of CJ 14 but couldn't pass up good price on this, one of my favorite images and great centering. And "none higher" as they say. Also great when the life story is so amazing--from World Series hero w/ Miracle Braves to World War I hero--and then served during World War II. Still a field named after him at Ft. Benning....

[shernan30]

Added a Cannonball Stemmeyer to my Cleveland OJs

[kamikidEFFL]

Nice OJ you got there. I will be sure to keep my eyes peeled for you this weekend

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

Cannonball is an awesome nickname.

[rainier2004]

Unreal looking CJ there Greg....

[kamikidEFFL]

So with the show in just a few days I did something I don't usually do and spend money the week before but hey when the deals roll as well as they do you just can't pass sometimes. Anyway I scored another 6 more for my 34 Goudey Set. Currently at 33 cards in the set. One is an SGC but that could be possibly upgraded this weekend. Hope to share some more Saturday with you guys

[jp1216]

Affordable '37 R342 Feller.

[wonkaticket]

Really nice 34's your set is looking really nice!
