Here's to December....hope it's a great month for all!

This one's an upgrade for me (from a PSA 5):

Gadzooks!! Nice way to start off December!

So Mark, did you stumble on that Kelly at the midnight card show on December 1st? Did the UPS delivery guy show up at 1 am?

Beautiful card.

Finally arrived yesterday from tardy Heritage. This is truly a 1 of 1: single cards for each player in 104-card set for very first baseball card game, 1904, were made for the prototype--and the game never produced. And they only did the NL before quitting. I guess they were on sheets and then hand cut.

Who peed in your Cheerios? ;)

Nice Kelley.

Wow.

Two sensational cards to start off the month. Outstanding!

Cool card and story. You realize it's now your life's duty to find the other 103 and reunite them, right? :)

1+ or +1

Some new miscuts to go with my others...

Thanks Dan, Mike, Steve & Leon.

Nice Mike...not to many triple backs out there.

Off the Bay tonight.

Nice scores off the bay tonight

Mike....
 

Wow~! I was eyeing that 3 backer from Dan....Holy Smokes!:eek:

your miscut backs are awesome and very rare......collectors don't realize how really rare they are....:)

seldom, if ever, come up at auction;)

And to think that two of those backs had Wagner fronts, wow! And uncatalogued on the 350 series! Pick-up of the year! LOL!

Actually the 150 split is a Bowerman! (kidding).

Thanks Guys.

An upgrade for my Dockman set. I had the Seigle in a PSA 4, but when this 6 came up I couldn't pass.

I grabbed one of the E96 cards last night as well - there were some nice ones available.

I'll take my 2's any day of the week which look like this - downgraded due to the touch of paper loss on the back (in Rossman's name)...

Selectively active again...
 

It's been some time since I bought vintage, but with my T207 tuffie in November, and now my key card for the T202 Cubs team set here in Dec (Thanks Joe!), I need to once again be careful of diving into the deep end! :)
I seriously need to update my website...
This one was love at first sight.

Congrats Jason, that's as a sweet a 2.5 as there is! I'm pretty sure I was the underbidder when it was up for auction on LOTG a few weeks back.

Scott

Love that Brown pose.

WOW! What a beautiful card.

Thanks Mike!

Scott- I like the Brown too, congrats. Had I not already had one I would have been busy bidding on it :)
If you factor out the cost to have the cards graded by SGC, the 20s and 30s were selling for about $20-35 each, not too shabby for cards with decent eye appeal.

First southern leaguer in over a year or so!

Back :)

Nice pick-ups!

Jason, that's a hot Tinker, Evers and Chance T202. Love at first site, indeed! Sensational eye appeal.

Wazoo, nice Hooker! :p

Great start to December, everybody. I will be living vicariously through you all this month, as I'm looking to get my knee scoped. So please, keep it up!

Have a few items incoming will post when they come in.

I wish I knew what these really are....

My latest Keeler pickup to add to my collection. I have been eye balling the Throwing variety of this issue for literally years, and finally landed one!

Love the yellow bat.

Been searching for one for years...finally!!

And though not prewar, Rob D. forced this cool card on me:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/calvindog/11189926806" title="1954 Johnston Cookies Henry Aaron #5 by calvindog65, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3676/11189926806_07b0754e21_o.jpg" width="460" height="849" alt="1954 Johnston Cookies Henry Aaron #5"></a>

I look forward to seeing the Aaron in an upcoming Probstein auction. I will be bidding (and retracting) early and often.

USS Cleveland vs. Waseda University 1908
 

Thanks to some fellow collectors I have learned a bit about the postcard pictured below.

Translation on the front reads:

USS Cleveland vs. Waseda University Big Baseball Match Commemoration (Victory Waseda)

"The 2 cancellation dates are from the reign of Emperor Meiji (Hirohito's grandfather). The date on the postmark in the middle of the card is
October 7, 1908 - the 41st year of the reign of Meiji. The postmark on the stamp is October 4th, so 2 different post offices cancelled the card. The addressee was in Tokyo."

Also, I can zoom in and read USS Cleveland on the Jersey of the player standing in the middle of the field. The player getting tagged I can read "eda" on the jersey.

Japan Japanese

hahahahahahahahaha!

Johnston Cookies Aaron
 

Jeff:

That is one sweet card!

Rob:

Do you have any similarly conditioned Old Judges that you could foist upon me? :D

1912 Bob WIlliams T207
 

Picked another T207 off of eBay.

^^^ Cool coloring on that card. Really like the pose, too.


one of my favorite images in the hobby, arrived yesterday (SGC 80)...

Awesome Oakes, Chuck! That is one of my favorite all time images as well.

I'm waiting to hear back from a potential buyer on some. If he passes, I'll let you know. :)

Gracias, Luke!

And got this at great price, to boot.

I've been looking for this card for quite awhile. Thank you SCOTB.

.

Just a common--but in my view, one of the very best T3 (or any issue) image and color, and that's what counts for me, usually.

Killer Oakes card! Congrats!
