Johnson M116
 

Hi Leon,

Looks like your Walter Johnson M116 probably came from a Sporting Life Advertising Poster.

Neat item!


Patrick

While it's not unopened.............
 

Thanks to a few board members

E98's
 

Mike, a couple of beauties!!

:cool:

Stoked you won it. First br Lenox/Pirate combo?

Yes, to the best of my knowledge. I'll post the entire run soon.

My first Yum Yum

Chuck,
That is a fantastic Lajoie!
JimB

Not a bad start!
JimB

Great looking Williamson error card! Good luck growing the Yum Yum collection.

To many others in June (joeadcock, D@ve R1cks, RCMcKenzie, Bryan, Matt Hall, Alan Elefson, and especially Paul on the Deacon White), great looking OJs! And John, what a fantastic looking Allen & Ginter poster.

Joe--the photo is Williamson, but it is a really interesting card. Poor Cap, if he doesn't pick up Dalrymple's torso in Anson in Uniform he gets Williamson's portrait in his Yum Yum.

Nice pickup Jay, really great contrast.

And thanks, Joe. (I saw your comment)

New additions

Mr. Sadler ... awesome front/ back combos!

Congrats!

W517 Hornsby ghost
 

I just picked up this W517 Hornsby with a pretty clear ghost image on the back. The ghost image was actually a surprise, I won this card on Ebay and the seller didn't have a picture of the back in the auction so I was very pleasantly surprised.

Picked this color shift up from Erick Summers on the BST. I love the fact you can see the little yellow spot further down the border. That's some detail they went through to make sure that tiny area under his left arm also got the yellow treatment

Clark Griffith SGC 60
 

Just got this one back today from SGC...making progress for my Cincy set!

Compliments of Mike Healer, Thanks Mike

3 HoFer's from the same infield on a single card with two artistic portraits and 1 action shot? Yes please!

And maybe I'm crazy but Chance looks like Brad Pitt with that squinty stare.

Lastly, another shout out for Mike Healer. Thanks again!

Jerry and Bryan thanks for the smooth transactions and glad you like the cards.

Here are a few that I've picked up lately. These Coupons are going to be the downfall of me.

Beauties Mike...but you should have started collecting those last year!:D

You're probably right Pete, I'm always a little late to the party.

don't feel bad...my crystal ball's broken too!

Fantastic!
 

Mike those Coupons are Fantastic! Vibrant Colors! Too bad there weren't discount coupons to buy Coupons!:D

Tim

Thanks Tim, the colors really are vibrant, more so than their t206 cousins at least in my eyes.

I've been enjoying an old passion of mine - '33 Goudeys. Just picked this one up on ebay. Gomez was the first pre-war card I ever owned. Bought an offgrade one for fifty cents in 1989. Sold it for $15 a few years later. Nice to have this clean example back in my collection...

Nice upgrade for my Series 2 set.

Took the plunge
 

I have been considering getting into Prewar for quite a while, but finally took the plunge over the weekend and made a purchase and a trade. Thanks for allowing me to share.

Great cards Matt.

Agreed, a great way to start. Beautiful cards....

And lots of beautiful cards in this thread. I need to pick up the pace!!

Way to jump in feet first, Matt! A couple of real beauties!

T206 Paddy I just picked up.

Matt

Agreed. Nice...

Looked at your postwar stuff: Like the 71 Ryan black cards. Damn hard to get those in high grade.
Jordan 9 and Griffed 10's and a Ripiekn rookkiie 10. Very nice.

Matt, great cards. IMO that particular Mathewson is one of the nicest cards in the set. Great way to start.

Love the signed Livingston!

T205 Chief Meyers Back Run
 

Picked up a Polar Bear back T205 Meyers which brings my back run to six. Just need a nice Cycle example to complete the run. I'm not going to get the factory variations. Here are the front and backs so far.

Patrick

+1

Cool to see it on the front. :rolleyes:

Thank you, Fred:

New to the forum, but I wanted to post a couple of my more recent pick ups to this thread. I sure enjoy seeing all of the various acquisitions that are posted so thank you. Mine obviously aren't great yard sale finds, unique oddities, or fresh back from grading, but I wanted to share them with the board members. A good chunk of you have already seen them, and even voiced your thoughts on one of them! ;)

Very nice pickups. I love that Cobb card, Hope to own that card one day myself.

Awesome cards everyone! Way to start with a bang Luke, amazing cards, 2 of my all time favorites!

Here are a couple misc pickups-

This M101-6 pickup I am really liking, love the old photo feel and background, the resolution on the card is one of the sharpest I have seen too-

Nice CJ Cobb & Jackson !

Thanks! 30 years in the making :D

Luke - I think you did very well on the Jax and the Cobb is simply beautiful...

Thanks Steven. The Jax definitely has some flaws, but it just had too much eye appeal to pass on.

Those are beautiful cards, Luke. I definitely wish I could add those some day...

Just Arrived
 

Amazing card Matt!! Congratulations...
