WOW, those are some pretty high-grade N172's. Very nice!

Been looking for the postcard version of this for a long time but just picked up this 1920 Postergraph News Supplement, it's in pretty rough shape but it's also huge (14" X 19")

my first cobb

That E90-1 JOSS is awesome.

Came at end of April, so give me a pass. :). Thanks to Net 54 member Travis Wise for this card!!!!

Beautiful N173
 

Jeremy,

Nice pickup of Keith's N173. It's a beautiful card. I was tempted to make an offer myself, but I have resisted the temptation of collecting 19th Century cards.


Enjoy,


Patrick

Thanks
 

Thanks Patrick... What did it for me was the mask laying on the ground and his striped hat ! :D

Don't see many of these...
 

Thanks Bill!!

Very cool Phil, congrats.

added a Gandil to my CJ collection...

Love the Waddell!

Heres my m116 contribution for the month :) I was able to get the tape off but it took some of the side border with it.

A few new Zeenuts...
 

I recently picked up my first (of what I hope to be many) Zeenut with a coupon still attached... I also completed a trade with another member to acquire this 1924...

Great stuff, fellas. Love the W600 Brown and the Grape Nuts Dean. Ol' Diz cleans up real nice like. Won this photo from Heritage recently. Not in hand yet but am stoked in advance.

wow. Great photo. Love Bender waving from top row.

David wow simply wow congrats.

Kawika, great photo (I'll buy a print if you make some:)) Here's my pick up for the day.

"Cool dude" Billy Nattress.........
 

An upgrade to my T206 collection. I always thought the T206 Billy Nattress portrait looks somewhat modern. His slight smile and knowing gaze seem to say, "Yeah, I'm cool". He was a career minor leaguer, but a "cool dude" nonetheless.
T206's are intriguing in so many ways.

Hi Dave! That is a great photo...I actually picked up a similar photo from a different angle a few months back...it's smaller than your panoramic but of an odd size. It also has a ton of writing on back as you can see in the scan below. I've tried researching the name of the person who donated the photo but I don't know who he is or where he donated it to...

Any thoughts on what it is would be greatly appreciated...Matt

look at this listing from the last REA auction which mentions Walter J. Danahy, same as your photo:

http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/.../2010/112.html


"A number of player names are written on the reverse of the mount (7 x 5.125 inches) in pencil, as is the notation "Donated by Walter J. Danahy - Framingham Mass - 1951." (The name "Walter J. Danahy" sounds very familiar to us but we have so far been unable to place it.) "

Matt.. I truly love that Old Timers Day Photo, Congrats!

Thanks...I got it framed professionally with a glass back so you can see both front and back of the photo...it's pretty sweet!

Funny, I used to live in Brockton too!

another pickup

My first Obak!
 

Big thanks to Dan Studebaker for the smooth transaction! Great looking well loved card!
