Some great cards this month. Loving the Tolstoi lot, how close are you on the subset?

Jantz, very nice eye appeal...you'd love a new scanner

Thanks!! I am at 112 which is a bit less than half the confirmed number. I guess the beauty in all of this is finding out which subjects are tougher to find with this particular back...I am enjoying the ride so far!

Nice looking T210s Jason. I'll be glad when all you team collectors finish your T210s so those of us nutty enough to go after the whole set won't have so much competition

Ebay Best Offer pickup...

[Tom S.]

I was able to add a couple of cards to my type set last week:

[tiger8mush]

From Heritage Auctions ...

I dont post often what I get, but after 3yrs+ of searching for this AB backed Mattern I finally got it. An SGC 70/5.5 to boot. I am just thrilled and I think it went very cheap for an AB back.

Thanks to Toby for a great trade. My first uncut strip and it has two of my three favorite players of all time on it!

Thanks Rob. I love the Cobb too, even if it's missing a corner.

[Mikehealer]

Tony- Here is an Evers with the same grade as yours that looks about the same.
Also picked up an Evers Ramly upgrade.

[3-2-count]

Great cards Mike. Your Evers collection continues to grow with quality. One last one just in today.

[danmckee]

I now currently own the only 3 known AD cards from the R337 issue. This Ruth, a Grove, and a Johnson.

Sheesh, just what I need, another tough set to collect. This is my 5th card in the set, long way to go...

[T206Collector]

Signed T201 Leifield from the Jefferson Burdick Collection:

[Howe’s Hunter]

Nice signature and the Burdick stamps. Sweet combination. Congratulations.

[g_vezina_c55]

He probably did a lot of trading before he made his donation

[t206blogcom]

Thanks Iggy

[jp1216]

Jason! You'll be 'finished' in no time. Didn't realize you knocked off 3/4 Cobbs already. Congrats.

[tbob]

A nice trade with Brian W. Glad we could help each other out

[z28jd]

With the help of saved emails from back in the day on my aol account, I can confirm that today I checked off a card that has been on top of my wantlist since at least July of 2002.

Congrats John, that's a long time on a want list. You Must have felt a sigh of relief.

Thanks Leon. It is cool to finally knock that card off the list and it served as a reminder to not put rare Old Judge cards on my wantlist, just get whichever ones you can when they come up. You don't know how many times I've seen Alcott come up for sale over that time, just to find out it wasn't the Mansfield version. It's also in much nicer shape than what I thought I was going to end up with, figuring I'd just overspend for the next one I saw no matter what the condition.

[Jason]

Nice cards Tbob.I really like the swinging poses.

Here are a few Saturday morning pickups of mine

[Joe_G.]

Congrats John!

Alcott with Mansfield reminds me of another tough team change card I've been waiting for, Gilligan with Detroit. Enjoy your latest addition, unite him with Nyce - Burlington.

[z28jd]

Good luck finding yours Joe! I've had the Burlington card for years, as well as New Haven and Rochester, all one player teams in the set. Maybe I'll get a scan of all four together later...decided to do it now instead. Also have Holbert too as a one player team but he wasn't on my wantlist until we started writing the book and I actually bought it the day we found out Mets were a one player team

[Iwantmorecards77]

Nice little card:

[Howe’s Hunter]

that I got a second card with Howe McCormick's stamp on the back. Within weeks, I had decided to sell all my other t206s and concentrate on only trying to rebuild his collection that he had marked. Today, number 205 in the rebuilt collection arrived in my mailbox.



I never imagined that I would find so many, or own that many of them. Thanks to so many on the board who keep their sights set on them, and let me know when they are available.

[deadballera]

interesting back on this Bender....some color bleed through.

[MacDice]

Arrived today via a trade with a fellow board member. The ironic thing is today would have been Earl’s 110th Birthday.

[t206hound]

Thanks to AG for the trade... able to complete the "player to be named later" trade and pick up a few more for myself.

[Jaybird]

Nice pickups. Player to be named later. Interesting.

Hopefully this is not a Rumplestiltskin situation.

Andy and I have bought/sold/traded several times and he had a dupe that I needed so he sent it to me in advance of me having anything to return to him. I was able to "close the books" on the deal and live happily ever after...

Glad it's what you wanted! Sorry shipping was a few extra days, hopefully it was worth the wait.

[nolemmings]

Battered and not really a card, I picked up this Facts for Fans as ephemera for my m101s. The inset on the bottom is from page 1 of the nearly 100 page booklet.
For the m101 collectors here, note that the caption design is wrong and that the photo shown of Scott is not the high leg-kick picture actually used in the set. Interestingly, the card number is wrong too--it corresponds to Scott's m101-5 card, but Indy Brewing is a m101-4 set only.

Tolstoi #115

[joeadcock]

Hey Rob

Good to see your still on the hunt.
