Very cool, thanks for providing all of the details, George.

Steve - That's more Holmes to Homes cards than I have seen in my 25 or so years of collecting! Well done! I'm envious!

I'll assume your silence means you are ambivalent.

correct
 

Scott- In a perfect world everything would be in it's correct place. That being said there really have been no firm rules set, on purpose. I was just giving you a hard time before because of your mostly single handed try at changing the board ie...the autographs in another yet to be made forum. I think consistency is a good thing when something is working and we don't change the board, operationally, too often. When it makes obvious and popular sense, then we do it. Also, at the end of the day I guess the buck does stop here and like it or not....I try to do what I think is best for the welfare of the board. If you want to post a few pictures on this side the world won't cave in. Thanks for your understanding though I am afraid I could have just opened yet another can of worms. regards

To specifically answer though, I think photos are more memorabilia than cards so should go in that section.

Two more..:D

It's flattering that you only read my opinion and ignored those who seconded it, but it was just an opinion, and it was based on the fact that non-MLB photos are for the most part ignored in the memorabilia section.

To me discussions and resulting dissemination of information is more important than what forum a post is made in. And modifying sub-forums seemed like a way to facilitate better discussion without cluttering up the card section. Just threw an idea out - it didn't stick.

Thanks for your response

Checked this off the HOF T206 list last night via The Bay.

Could not get anything new for my 1920's Speaker collection so picked up his Rookie gum card
[URL="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...ganSpeaker.jpg"]

That's a beauty, David.

Congrats!

This baby came off a BIN last night at the bay. Advertised as crease/wrinkle free and unaltered. I think the fron pic was cropped as the left border seems to be uneven but the back pic makes it look straight/parallel. CJ's, Cj's, CJ's....

Already had the Polar Bear tin, but the pack just arrived. It will make a great companion piece. It's the same pack showing on the tin.

1936 World Wide Gum Lefty Grove SGC 70....
 

Killer companion piece, Tony! Congrats!

Cole, I like that E107 Young! I had the opportunity to hold that one in Chicago at the national this year. Congrats and welcome to the club!


As for me, I've always wanted to have one of the Breisch-Williams overprints in my collection and I finally got the opportunity to add one. They're kinda tough to find. This one came on the back of a Kid Gleason card (of Black Sox scandal fame).

I was also pleased to add a beater of Bad Bill Dahlen. I picked him up since I think he has an outside shot of making the HOF one day via the veterans committee.

Outstanding E107's Brian. Those couldn't have found a better home.

Love the polar bear tin.

Lefty Grove WWG
 

Brad, fantastic Grove WWG. It's a beauty. congrats!

Leon
 

Yes, Jeff's Chase PC is awesome, but you need to concentrate on your type collection. I got my PC mojo back, & don't need the competition!

Some great postcards this month! Here's one I picked up today at the Toronto Expo, a 1932 Ray Schalk Buffalo Bisons Team Issue.

Thanks!

Jeff,

Nice pickup on the Schalk.

I love flea markets. Thank You, George:

I know this isn't sports - but I felt the need to post it. We've all seen this card more than any other. The upper right corner of this site. I saw it for a couple dollars and had to have it. T-80 series.

I acquired this from a Board member, and now need Booles to complete the set. Anyone have spare to sell or trade?!!!

Cheers, Mike

Leon - Thanks again ...
 

for giving me good deals at the Philly Oaks Show on these great additions to my type-card and Sam Rice collections!! Hope you and B&L Auctions did well at this show.
Best,
Val

another nadja for the set, nothing too crazy this month... will post a pretty spectacular caramel next month :)

November pick ups - partial
 

I decided to snap a quick pic with my phone of the cards I've added to my collection thus far in November. Several more are on the way. Clearly I haven't had the chance to put the cards in proper holders or scan them in. I wanted to at least get a pic up for the November pickups thread...

Couple of SLs for my T206 set...
 

Just got this Revelle and Guiheen back from SGC this month... two of the cards from the submission that I get to keep. The Guiheen was a BIN steal raw last month on ebay for thirty bucks.

Looks like a nice month so far Jason!

Jason,

Those are some nice T210's. That Irvine has really nice wide borders.

Tony

Thanks Tony I have acquired 8 out of 19 Colts thanks to a fantastic board member.

Nice pickups Jason

#173
 

Received this card in a trade with Bill Brown. #173 on the quest...

Maybe it is childish of me but this card makes me laugh every time I see one and I finally landed one for myself... not that there is anything wrong with it! :D

Another Chief Meyers S74 Colored Silk
 

If I am lucky, I might find a single Chief Meyers colored silk once a year. This issue is perhaps my favorite type due to the seemingly endless color combinations. Pretty excited to add this one due to the colors and the condition.
