August pickups

[z28jd]

My dad turned these three pictures of the 1919-25 St Louis Browns outfield that I posted earlier this month, into the framed photo shown below. Wood frames, some fancy cuts, with paint that has a concrete look/feel. I switched Williams to RF and Tobin to LF because it looked better that way with their poses

It's my first Gehrig and, as a Neurologist who treats ALS, it will have a special place in my collection.

Nice Gehrig(and Cobb)

Awesome cards, especially that Gehrig. A great addition to any collection.

Terrific piece, John. I'm holding off on making analogies between the Browns and recent Pirates teams now that you're a perennial wildcard team.

You could have compared the current Pirates' outfield to the one in the pictures. Both pretty good groups

[oldjudge]

Chris--That is one of the nicest Radbourn's that I have seen. Fantastic image, and I really like those big borders.

Found on eBay and now tied with N508 for my "earliest" #5 type acquisition:

[the-illini]

Thanks for the kind words everyone - I took a chance on a raw card with a so-so scan off of ebay and it turned out to be a great gamble!

[Thromdog]

Saw this a few moons ago on eBay and couldn't justify the price..... so when it came up as part of a lot, had to have it.

Still paid more than it's worth.

I guess he was born in a Manger.

And if anyone can explain the background going yellow while his head appears ok, I'm all ears. It's the blue, right???

Be very careful with that Negro League team photo, it might very well be a fake. You should be able to tell by viewing it in person.

best I can do with the scans.....

it's like the glue/adhesive drew off the blue, including part of his collar.....really cool looking.

Finally found the elusive Chance! Been one of the toughest to find over the last 18 months.

[mrvster]

sorry to be the bearer of bad news.....the dahlen is 100% chemical damage....I'm sorry to inform you....but still a decent card

No No! I already knew that or at least assumed it..... so no bad news!

I'm just trying to figure out how it only hit up the blue color (or the blue part of the green background) while not touching his face......it's really odd and why I like it.

[Laxcat]

Shag Hindu with Lloyd Bolton backstamp. Still looking for an unmarked one.

[daves_resale_shop]

Pretty stoked to get this ac dietsch cobb in the mail today... Great appeal despite the low technical grade... And a big thanks to Dave Schrader of Bagger's...if you haven't dealt with him, I'd suggest you do... He's a pleasure to deal with.

[Louieman]

Just came in the mail today! One of my instant favorites

[mrvster]

I see what you are saying!

looks very odd! almost "arts and craftsy"

I like it also

[mattsey9]

Two on the way!

Slowly working on the E104-2's

This and that

[Jobu]

Thanks Chris, I have always loved this card.

[the-illini]

Great McCormick Kenny - I got a Gypsy Queen of him or I would have gone after that one myself!

[kdixon]

Picked up this Zach Wheat wire photo. I already had this image but like them both. Thanks Scott Forrest. Sorry I put this in the wrong section Leon.

[Kenny Cole]

Thanks guys. I was happy to get the card.

[Vintagecatcher]

Thanks to Scott Forrest for this Frank Bowerman T206.

Ah man I used to own a Bowerman portrait but convinced myself I didn't need it. That beauty of a card u have is making me rethink that...

That's a great card! I love the T206 portraits. Working on that part of the monster. Here is my Matty cycle back I just got. Looking for other scarce Matty backs if anybody has them to sell or trade.

[Steve D]

Just got these two cards from Al at LOTG:



Edited to add: With the Wagner, I now have all the E95 hall of famers, and it's my fifth different Honus (both E90-1s, E90-2, Colgans Chip, and E95)
