One of my favorites: the only T206 depiction of HOFer Ed Walsh. Finally added it to my collection today. My thanks go to Darrin on the B/S/T.

[Jason Carota]

Thank you, Ed W.!

[Idiottax]

I picked this up at a local card show today:



It was the first time that I saw a blanket in person and couldn't resist purchasing it for my collection.

I got this in the BST section, my first DiMaggio:

Nice grabs, Calvin. How did that Chase just grade a 2? It looks more like a 5!

[bbcard1]

Cheapies...but if you put them in a nice holder...they do have some eye appeal. Still have a couple of 1941 Wheaties holder left...anyone got a couple to spare?

[Tim Kindler]

These certainly aren't New to me, but I sent a bunch of E98s that were raw or PSA to be graded by SGC to match the others in my collection. I was particulary pleased that my Collins Old Put Back received a 30 ;and my Dooin was Authenticated as an Old Put Back even in Dog Chew Toy Condition

Here are 5 of the 15 that I sent in:

[jcmtiger]

A slight upgrade. I have an sgc A. Got this from a great collector and friend Joe G. One of the best guys in the hobby.

Wow. I can't follow up those last 2 cards, but I did get a nice Charles Bender card in the mail today

[tjb1952tjb]

A very nice W514 Ping Bodie strip card arrived today. Thanks to Brad Green.......a good guy.

P.S. Does anyone know what is the actual year for the Ping Bodie W514? (1919, 1920, or 1921).

[Vintagecatcher]

I upgraded my "pink pennant" George Gibson B18 in December. I'll probably frame the pair sometime in the future.

Here are two postcards I got in the mail today. I believe both are ca. 1912. The first one shows a shortstop wearing an Athletics jersey, and I believe it depicts Jack Barry, a member of Connie Mack's "$100,000 infield." The handwriting on the back reads, "I see you got a triple yesterday, keep up the good work." The second postcard shows Jim Thorpe, "The Greatest Athlete of All Times." The writing on the back says, "Sara Dean Lee, Mattie Ziegler, Bill Durfee?, Mr. Hunt?, and myself were there. Baseball game between Chambersburg and Carlisle, 14 innings, 2-1 in favor of Carlisle."

I believe Sara and Bill share the same last name but what that name may be is tough to tell. Great piece!

[novakjr]

That Thorpe is great. It looks like you got it for a pretty nice price as well. A psa 5 sold for $900 a while back.

Thanks Cat. I think you're probably right about the names. I can't really read the writing so I just gave it my best guess.

Thanks! I saw that one, and also this one:
http://www.auctionscc.com/archive/20...morabilia/281/

I think mine is in the best condition of the three except for the writing, which doesn't really bother me. I think it's cool how it has an Olympic picture on the front, a Pop Warner (his football coach) reference on the back, and period writing about a Carlisle baseball game. It's appropriate for a Thorpe piece since he excelled at all three (and apparently basketball too).

[jb217676]

Got this one from Frank Ward. Thanks Frank!

[tbob]

Dang, this C46 Imperial Tobacco Gandil was a hard card to find in any condition! Curse you Black Sox collectors!
Thanks Dan.
Thanks also to Richard for helping me get closer to completing this set. O'Hara is particularly difficult as the #1 card in the set.

Agreed they are the same last name.

My money is on Dunfee.

[leaflover]

Happy to add this one.

[iggyman]

Snatched the 1906 Chicago Cubs team postcard from eBays Johnny Hustle for ~$110. I was determine to pay about $100 for one, and with alot of patience plus willpower, I persevered. Will reside next to a "Sporting News Archive" companion piece. It worked-out nicely.

Lovely Day...
