Beautiful Cobb!

Many thanks Jeff!

Great Cobb Tony. Solid borders and good registration. Congrats!

Nice Cobby, Tony. One of my top, attainable, cards in the hobby. When they look like that I don't know how people argue about which are the best aesthetic cards. THere can only be different cards, not better, imo. That is a beauty! Congrats!
.

Peter, Leon - thanks fellas!

Leon, you're to blame for this purchase. Every time I've seen your T205 Cobb's posted I went looking for one with similar eye appeal. No easy task as you well know.

This fella fit the bill ;)

Chase just came in the mail a few minutes ago!
Thanks to Kris from the BST!

Lajoie Port is probably my favorite port in the T206 set, so happy add one back to the box.

Those Pep Ruths are awesome!



.

Love it, Tony!! A T205 Cobb is at the top of my want list. I sure hope I can land something with that kind of eye appeal. Well done!

Many thanks Dean! Appreciate it!

I love them all and the diversity and I love the “patina” on many of them shows the love and joy someone had with them years and years ago

Thank you James. Appreciate it!

I was very happy to get this one for my Sovereign collection! I only need the Reulbach to finish off the tough eleven 150s.

USPS SAGA Resolved....... Finally!
 

My March Pick Ups were actually January pick ups until the USPS lost my MOs in a Priority/Tracking Envelope.... It really sucks trying and of course getting no where with help resolving the issue with the Govt. Post Office, they still have no feedback or resolution, but it doesn't matter at this point. The great folks at Western Union refunded my MOs and The Folks at REA worked with me and had patience while I resolved the issues of payment! Brian and all the staff over at REA are TOP NOTCH!!!!! Anyways, the 4 T206s gets it down to 37 left for taming the Monster Set, and the 2 T205s gets us to a total of 42 in the set that I am building with my college aged son. Beautiful cards for our budgets!!!

Great photos, Jeff....

Promoting tobacco by kids....

Picked up some Cobbs…

Great foursome of Cobb's Rob. Those look great!

Plus one agree Great Cobbs and Great Eye appeal on them

Congrats

1916-20 W-UNC Big Heads
 

Added Sisler (coming next week)
Just need 2 left to complete the set (Ping Bodie & Sam Rice)

Been wanting one of these for a while.
Went to Harbor Freight today and got this:
For 43$
Spending the weekend with my cards.

Already pulled the foam inserts apart--my 1st time, so it was ackward.
The only thing i dislike- the foam space is a bit wide for a single card.
I placed them side-ways. 2 rows
Any thoughts???
as i didnt want to stick 2 cards together. Plus i took the top foam out so it would close.

Thank you Tony & Jeff!

Very nice Cobb's Rob. Color me envious on your T205 Cobb's. Right up my ally.

This is going to be a very steep climb but I'm now 12% complete on this set.

March Pick Up
 

Picked up at the Philly Show Sat
Special Thanks to Ashsh Jai for the working with me to make this purchase happen.

That Babe is beautiful.
I always like the red version 33.
I had be tempted many times before the 'pump'
Not forgetting the Cobbs as well---NICE!! NYYFAN(Rob)
I dont live up north..otherwise i'd be camping out at the shows
probably next to our N54 dealers having a blast.

Agreed it is a nice looking Ruth and I also prefer the Red over the others.

the Greatest
 

Not baseball, but I could not help myself.

From 1960, just after he won the gold medal in Rome. Stamped by photographer, Alberto Durazzi.

Thank you Chris!

Nice Phil and Jack...Jerry

Thanks Jerry,
I definitely have a candy addiction.

Oversized B18 & another children's tea cup w/catcher
 

Picked up a Sweeney B18 with oversized border which shows how the B18s layout were staggered. Also added another German made tea cup with catcher scene.

My 5th catcher D311 Pacific Coast Biscuit
 

It's been 5 years since I picked up a D311 catcher.

Thanks to Scott B. for this Carl Mitze D311!


Patrick

Really happy to get a sharp Joss Port in the mail today

Also a Piedmont 42 Mullin. I don’t usually put cash toward non HOFer’s but couldn’t pass this one up.

Bob

Can't say that I am a postcard, basketball, nor a female athlete collector, but I couldn't resist this Gibson Art postcard in the recent Brockelman auction due to the disjointed nature of the right arm of this female basketball player. Her left arm looks a little off as well. And come to think of it, those are awfully tiny and narrow feet. Otherwise a decent early women's basketball depiction.

Brian

I think there's a support group for your affliction Brian. Congrats on the pick up.

Chicago Show
 

Chicago Show this Weekend Musial pretty scarce. All cards list here were sold

A big thanks to Dean for letting loose of a Big Johnson for me! Happy to have HAC Johnson back in the box.

Thanks,
Bob

Accidentally double posted, so might as well put something in it. Mailman just dropped off this AB 460 Wheat. Also from the BST.

Thanks,
Bob

Some folks on here are addicted to Wagner, Ruth, Goudeys, etc. I am addicted to disjointed cards and posts.

Brian

Finally got a Jesse Haines

My lots from the Potter & Potter auction featuring the Mark Rucker collection. I now have two of the three Bates College cdvs featured on page 56 of Mark's book Base Ball Cartes: The First Baseball Cards (the outer two).

No problem Bob. I'm glad it went to a good home. Enjoy!

Nice Rucker collection images Michael. I thought the auction brought very strong and a little surprising prices. You were lucky since it seemed one bidder was buying most of the 19th Century stuff.

I was bidding live on the auction interface (not in person) so I couldn't tell who won the other lots. I was the only bidder on the two cdvs I won but the cabinet was competitive. There were other nice cdvs and tintypes that went for more than I wanted to pay. Part of me is glad there is interest in this kind of stuff...but part of me doesn't want too much interest.

I posted this in the Cuban thread, but love this early (first) known image of Jose Mendez from the Mark Rucker Collection.

Some fun pickups from the last month. Good progress on my T207 set. And then some nice OJs (thanks Mike!), including some rare N167s! :eek:

(I didn't say what kind of N167s :)

Love it

Congrats

Very cool Pep Rings, Jim! I've never seen those before.

A couple more PD1 Catcher Position pins!
 

Added these two PD1s.

Patrick

Doerr

Thanks Gary!! Oh and I picked up a few rings to go along with the uncut sheet!!

wow those rings are interesting.

Just curious any information on the year, how they were sold or distributed?

Jeff,
They're from the 1948 - 1951 time frame and came in Kellogg's cereals like Pep and Raisin brand.

S74 colored silk Johnny Kling
 

Added another Johnny Kling S74 silk.

Mustard colored with blue ink.

Neat ad piece.

Recently grabbed this wonderful postcard of the Jersey City "Eastern League" Base Ball Grounds Jersey City, NJ postcard that is postmarked and dated 1912. The Jersey City team from the Eastern League in 1912 was the Skeeters. This is now a permanent resident in my Jersey City Skeeters prewar team collection and I couldn't be happier to have found it.



.

Great addition to your Skeeter collection Andy, I can't imagine there's very many of those floating around.

Thanks Phil! Yeah, I was very excited to get this one for the collection.

Andy

Went on a little D311 and 1909 Obak run in the recent Brockelman auction.

One could tell the groups of cards from these sets in the auction were from an old school long term collection. Super happy to pick up what I could.

Thank you to Scott and the consignor.

Congrats, Phil. What a haul!

Thanks Daryl,
Both tough sets to find high grade cards, a lot of pop less than 10 highest graded in the auction, doesn't come around often.

Here's one you don't see every day. I didn't even know this set existed.

Very nice, Phil. Those are some really great looking cards. I am not a collector of Obaks, so my question is: Why is the Hogan card rough compared to the others. Is he harder to find?
