Those are some cool postcards, Glen.
That's Red Sox mainstay Hal Janvrin in the front row of the Camp Devens card. SABR bio confirms it: http://sabr.org/bioproj/person/80f3a62e BBRef shows a minor league team for Streator for the years 1912-1915 but a little googling yielded the info that the Reds were a popular town ball squad dating back to the 1890s and before. I cobbled together some excerpts from a city history, chronology a bit unclear, that gives a glimpse of their story. That's a fine looking postcard, a classical assemblage of ballplayers.

Awesome Eric...ever going to expand the McGraw search?

e107? '94 Betz?

Hey thanks! Much appreciated Steven! I am certainly open to other options. Have a nice T3 and a Felix Mendelsohn and a couple of postcards. Those would be rather tough issues that you mentioned! I need to start a thread with the run so far. Just takes a lot of time to get all the pics loaded.

There will be a '94 Betz at the next LOTG Auction :D

Edited to add: sorry, I consigned this one to REA, not LOTG! Couldn’t keep them straight with my consignments.

How do you know this? Where is the preview?

Derek knows everything.

Freakin auction season! Can’t be that time again already? :eek:

Oops, I meant REA, not LOTG. I kinda have the inside track on stuff like this...or rather, I know this because it’s my consignment! LOL! :D

Both should be excellent auctions happening shortly after I get my tax refund and meager bonus! Can’t wait!

Chris-Great pickup on that Deacon White Old Judge. If we were to redo the Old Judge book I’m pretty sure that we would list White as the toughest HOFer to find a card of.

The difficulty in finding the card, the price and the fact he was on the 1925 and 1927 Pittsburgh Pirates offset the bullseye in the card:

I appreciate all the info. Thanks very much.

T206 goodness
 

The quality of people here on Net54 never ceases to amaze me. Just when you think you couldn't possibly have any more amazing dealings with folks, you do.

Two really enjoyable deals with two sage collectors here this past month. It's been a real pleasure getting to know them and chatting with them recently.
You couldn't hope for better people or cards. Here's to Net54. :D

Except for it being a little OC it's a great card!!


Just kidding. We are of the same mold somewhat, with respect to centering. Nice pick up. You probably feel about the same way as I did recently, picking up an almost perfectly centered '39 Ted Williams (already shown too many times).

.

Thanks Leon! Your Williams is a monster for sure.

Beautiful cards Dean and Jason.

Thanks Orlando!

Piedmont 150 Magee Portrait, Correct Spelling is a toughie — and this is a beautiful example. Well done!

E95 Cobb
 

Been looking for a nice copy for a while now. Always a plus when you can buy a card on sale off of a dealer website rather than on ebay.

Nice cards everyone as always!

Its been 4 years but I recently added my third of the four Cobb T206 poses. Think ill wait for all the fuss to be over before I finish it off with the Green. If that ever happens.

N162
 

Nice Jason...congrats! Making some progress on the N162 ballplayers subset :)

E94 Bescher
 

A recent Ebay pick up...

Always thought this was one of the coolest backs out there. Now I own one. Thanks Ed.

A "what the heck" ebay pick up...... ;)

At first, just thought it was washed out, but have to say probably missing a "red" color pass, maybe some other pass also ????

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

My Red Sun Molesworth is one of my favorites. So much so that I purchased two pugilists to have more!

Not a new pick up, just newly slabbed. i don't usually like oversized items slabbed but pretty happy with how this looks.

Nice Gehrig! Love the odd tinted exhibits!

So I searched out to upgrade this card and a very gracious and well versed member responded and it was sitting in the mail today. My trading partner informed me how crystal clear the image was nd now that its in hand...I didn't think these old CdVs could be this clear. I love the card, great trade a great transaction. I also have always dug the ad back and its even cooler n hand.

Great piece! I can see why you were excited to get this one.

Beautiful Steve!

Nice pick ups guys. Cobby's look as popular as ever. That Gehrig PC is way cool. Love that color.

My first confectionery card.

Nice! Was watching that one, crazy high grade for that issue.

t206kid, that's a great looking Cobb bat off for a PSA 1...nice job.

I love that pose...

Steve

Steven-That CdV has a beautiful image. Congratulations! Does the back have the Chadwick book ad?

My first card of the year
 

Picked up this sharp T202 on eBay recently and it arrived today.
Now have 8 of the 10 Chief Meyers T202s.

Patrick

Thanks to the help of a couple of board members, I was able to complete 1/2 of the Cubs cards from the 1941 Goudey set for my collection. Now just the 4 Warstler SP cards to go!

Thank you. Nope, just the ad back...

.

Just having a cold one and a smoke after a game, rppc from 1907.

Now that guy knows how to pimp a hat! Lol!

Cool PC btw.

I got this pc796 from an awesome board member. I can only post pics in collage, so here it is next to its sister card, the Novelty Cutlery.

Guys...its FEBRUARY!!!!
