Top-graded and, as usual for me, centering counts....

I don't see a lot of WSTs on Old MIll Southern Leaguers. I was very happy to get this one.

Thank you Brian! Nice to get some of the toughies out of the way all at one.

A happy E121 player.....

Chester is a little too happy . Scary . LOL

I recently started a low-grade T205 set, and received the first two members of the collection today. Thanks Donscards!

Nice over print Sean!

T205
 

Nice T205's Nathaniel, that is a special set, good luck on your future pursuits.

Those are great Goudeys!!! The 1933's are my favorite!

Got this in a trade after losing it at auction

The benny is a nice card looks like he is riding an invisible bicycle

This CdV appears to picture women in uniform circa 1865-69. The player in the middle of the bottom row is holding a bouquet. The player on the left in the bottom row appears to be wearing an earring. I have never seen a CdV picturing women players. This photo predates any other women and baseball image by more than a decade. Any thoughts?

Other than it's really cool, no comment. It's a fairly spectacular piece. I haven't studied early baseball cards of women so can't really comment on that aspect of it.

Had to post this pickup off ebay. Couldn't believe the condition.

I love that card! Nice pickup! :D

Really cool card gary. Nice pick up!

My kind of humor:

After This One...
 

I guess I'll be going for the unusual 3-6-4 Double Play.

Won this last night in Huggins and Scott. Was surprised at the price:

Picked up from a board member on the BST

I am having a good month adding to my Southern Leagues. Thanks to the board member that sold the Foster and Shag. Also a Zimmerman Sporting News Supplement in real low grade from the same board member. Nice buying from good guys on here. This Smith is really amazing, the scan doesn't do it justice, scanning through slabs never looks quite right to me, they always come out a little fuzzy.

Me too, so cheap. Nice pickup!

Thanks! After chasing the proofs forever I've scored two this year.

Through research I was also able to pretty much verify that the subject is actually Thomas McCallum and not Thomas McCullum.

E94s
 

Granted they are A's but present very well.....

Dots Miller
 

Dots last card during his playing days...the end of the line.

Thank you, Rhett:

Brian, nice card! I have always loved the T207 Butcher as it as close as we get to a mainsteam tobacco (T205-T207) card of Joe Jackson*, mentioned on back as the "slugging wonder". Honestly they thought to mention him on the back of Butchers card and mentioned how good he was but didn't make a card of the guy? That has always puzzled me!

*(I don't want to get into the T202 card! :) )

Does anyone else see what looks like an S on Butcher's jersey above his right hand? Is there supposed to be something there?

Looks like a bit of dirt to me.

One of the many mysteries of the T207s along with no Mathewson or Cobb and the list goes on.

I've always thought of the T207 set as a kind of "addendum" to the already produced T205 and T206 sets they had already made as it included so many "new" players. Obviously they included players in T207 that were included in the other sets like Walter Johnson, John McGraw, Roger Bresnahan, etc but the fact that so many "young/future stars" were included it almost has the feel of a set like the Topps Traded sets from the 1980's. With that being said the lack of a Joe Jackson card always seemed like a glaring omission.

Thank you again, Rhett:

If I remember correctly, JoAnne use to be a BiG Collector of Women CDV's, etc...
Maybe someone in contact with Her can get Her to Chime iN!?

Love to here from Her from Anyways...

A couple recent additions.....

Got this in the B&L auction that ended today. Can't wait to receive it.

Yesterday was my best mail day in quite some time. Maybe ever. Thank you to my friends Mark and Derek for two cards that will be in my collection for a long time :)

October Pickups
 

Nice pickups Luke. It's always refreshing to see a prewar card with huge borders that's managed to avoid the trim shop.

I know it looks nothing like him, but I like that its early and apparently his first Yankees "card"...plus I could afford it, so that helps!

Hey Luke,

Great Lajoie carmel. It looks really nice for a 1.5!
Cheers!

Brent

Took a bit of time off after my Diaz fun, came back with another check-marked off and another I've been looking for a very long time

Allen Sothoron - 1924 Diaz Cigarettes - 3 more to go. Where are you Guy Morton and Pete Donohue
http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=16496http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=16497

Missed a chance at one of these a year ago and been kicking myself ever since, tonight finally got him off my back

T205 Cycle - Terry Turner
http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=16498http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=16499

Thanks Brent! Yeah, it just has a little bit of paper-loss on the back right corner and the front top right corner crease. It's a beauty!

Excited to pick this up in trade. Thank you John.

nice cards all
 

I've been unable to participate too much in the market of late due to financial reasons, and thus have spent more of my time doing research. I was very happy to win an entire run of March, 1916 Chicago Examiner newspapers, all bound in an oversized and heavy book. For those who recall, the Chicago Examiner put out an entire set of m101-5 in sheet form, as posted to this board some years back by David R. http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...light=examiner This is the only known sponsor of this set to issue in complete sheet form, to my knowledge anyway. The ads for the set, which was also offered in card rather than sheet form (though none have ever surfaced with an Examiner back), ran several times in March and April, and this bound volume has more than a half dozen, including one with Matty-- many several inches squared in size. I will scan them eventually, once I figure out how to place this huge tome on my scanner bed to properly capture them. Here is a generic shot from the ebay auction:

Old facsimile cads
 

Bought from ebay , sold as facsimile reprints ? , thought they were an interesting look into the past. Very thick cardboard, approx. 7''x4''.

My latest Dockman. Bought this baby raw, and just got it back from PSA. First raw pre-war purchase in probably 15 years so I did alright :)

Luke, very nice!

DJ

Cool pictures and sold as what they are, reprints. Nothing wrong with them as long as you know what you are buying (as you did).

Thanks, DJ. Wish it had a Nadja back and I would sell it to you :)

Luke, that's insane! A 7? Lol.

Great Nap card, Luke!!!

Cheers,
Blair

Excited to pick up another catcher S74 colored silk for my collection.

Unusual darker blue color with this one as well.

Looks like I'm collecting Abbaticchios now! :)

Bad guy, good card.

Finally got around to scanning my pickup from the last philly show. Despite the obvious condition issue, I love the image from a set that is easily overlooked. M101-2 Plank.

Interesting...lol....I had to go look him up. :) I see why now!

Woo hoo! My second career T-206…

familytoad's Mid October pickups
 

I've had a pretty active month so far after a slow summer.
I've got a few new ones still coming, but for now, I'm very pleased with these three pretty rare cards...note the E210-2 Grimes is just newly slabbed, I have had Burleigh since the spring:

Sweet Plank Brian.

I picked up this nice Howie Camnitz w/ Old Mill back in the latest Joe's Vintage auction.

Steve, congrats on these pick-ups. Hope to see them at the Shriner's!

You finally got that Crawford :)

Signed 1932 Zeenuts With Coupons
 

Just picked up these four. Autographed Zeenuts are tough enough to find, but ones complete with the coupon are almost unheard of.

Wow Tom, very nice pickups!

The last of my October pick ups. Four more tough E90-1s, purchased from a board member on the BST.

More Abbaticchios....
 

What the heck....more Abaticchios!

Luke congrats on the nice Walsh. When I put my E-90-1 set together, Walsh was one of the 3 toughies (Jackson is there if you can pay the price). Walsh, Shean and McLean were the 3 hard to find ones.

I just noticed you picked up those two also. Way to go!

Thanks! Yeah, plugging along and getting most of the more difficult ones out of the way first :)

Picked up this N300 at the Fanatics show in Oaks this weekend.
