Fun, fun, Scott

[pete zouras]

cool pickup! I have one myself. I wonder why all such cards have orange instead of red backgrounds? When I purchased mine years ago I thought I was getting a rare color variation.

Nice Buehler Bros. backstamp on that Hindu.

Pete, I was actually going to start a thread about this recently. I think the Brown ink used on the Hindus might have something to do with why so many Orange instead of Reds are found on the Hindu's.

The Red color is by far the color that is most effected by chemicals and sunlight on T206's and I think that's what happened with the Hindu's depending on the conditions
(how dry the fronts were and atmosphere conditions etc....) when the backs were printed. I don't know anything about the inks used but I thought maybe
there was a different chemical used in the Brown Hindu ink.

Recent win from REA. Happy to add this one to my subset!

Agreed Phil. This is the third Hindu Buehler Bros. I've seen. I like to think the brothers were kids that collected together as the examples I've seen include Hindu, Piedmont, Sweet Cap, Old Mill and even an E98. I'd expect a regular smoker to stick to one main brand if he collected the cards.

Scott, I hope you don't mind I added your stamp to my project/website.

Great start to the month- seems t206 is all the rage.

Should arrive in a few days. When cards get crazy expensive but the addict in you can’t help himself, buy Ruth (safest option in this crazy market)

[atx840]

Fantastic card Ryan.

[MVSNYC]

Love all the T206's!

Ryan, great Ruth!

[3-2-count]

T206’s continue to rule the roost.

Great Ruth Ryan. Congrats……..

[mrreality68]

Great pick up Ryan.

[Rhotchkiss]

Thanks Guys. Chris, do you have something to post?

Awesome card Ryan! Great pick up.

[Tom S.]

Nothing kills a thread faster than a W9316 strip card...

An upgrade to the Schalk that I already had came today.

[ullmandds]

nice babe ryan! I kinda want that one for my ruth holding ball size run...but it's getting too dear!!!!

[Vintagecatcher]

Thanks to Kris for this nice 1911 Obak!

I'm officially a hoader on this card.

Patrick

[charlietheexterminator]

Awesome Ruth Ryan, congrats.

[glchen]

Great pickups so far this month, everyone! I recently got the green color variation of this card graded by PSA. Here it is along w/ the red and b/w ones. Hopefully, this finishes the color run for this card.

A great looking Obak Patrick. The 1911 Tiedemann is one of my (many) favorite Obak cards.

Also finally picked up a w516-2-2 Ruth to complete the w516 run.

[Rhotchkiss]

Great Ruths Gary. I never knew some of the w516s seem to depict Ruth as a righty, while others correctly show him as a lefty. Are these different poses/different parts of his wind up? Or are they just reversed images?

Honestly, I never gave these cards any real thought, but looking at them all lined up like that, it’s cool that they are one of the few images out there of Ruth as a pitcher.

[Bicem]

Very cool Gary!

[BabyRuth]

Great cards as always Gary!!!! Welcome to the W516 club!!

Ryan, these are just reversed images, as the copyright text is backwards on the cards where Ruth is throwing right-handed.

+1 agree

[glchen]

Thanks, everyone, for the comments!

Jim, I love your W516 run also. I think I sold you a couple of those cards! Also, the W516-2-3 is always the toughest one, and you have a very nice copy.

Yep, as Jim said, in a previous post, they are just reversed images.

[chlankf]

Fun mail day. Group of T206 beaters and 3 OJs, two Des Moines poses I needed and an actress.

[wazoo]

A beautiful Hindu to join my OM counterpart -- THANK YOU CHRIS B!!

[babraham]

That Hindu is a beaut!
Congrats!

[atx840]

Congrats Waz! Glad it went to a good home

[RCMcKenzie]

Had to stay up late and battle for this one. Thanks to the under-bidder for letting me have it.

[Casey2296]

Wow Rob, you don't see those very often, congrats on the pick up.

[mrreality68]

Wow Great Stuff already being posted.

I feel left out. Lol.

I struck out in Jan, and probably the same in February

All I can do is cheer on our team

Keep them coming

[chadeast]

BST pickup, thanks Mark

Nice Phil. I like the color fade on the Tinker, and of course the Cobb is fantastic.

[Casey2296]

Thanks Andy & Chad, nice pick up on the T3 too Chad.

[paul]

I was finally able to add Red Faber to my HOF rookie collection. I have seen the M101-4 many times, but rarely an M101-5 like this one.

[Wanaselja]

Man, I’ve been snooping around for a Tinker portrait. Yours takes the cake.

Great card Ryan did you grab this from Tony? Congrats another absolute beauty.

[cgjackson222]

Probably my nicest possession, including my car.

Great Lajoie!! Feel free to post it in the T3 Turkey Red Gallery thread too. We wrapped it up a week ago but your Nap would be a very worthy edition. Congrats!
