Indeed!

not a big T206 guy, but liked the orange-ish background on this one ...

(p.s. when are we going to upgrade the forum to one where we can "like" posts? There are about 50 posts so far from this month's pickups that I'd like to "like")

Some new additions to my pre-war St. Louis Cardinals/Browns Collection. All from board members, Thanks guys!

These guys

Thanks to Mike for the raw cards here :D

Glenn, that Caruthers is outstanding.

Josh, you have a plate scratch on the back of your Kleinow Pd 150 - looks like you get to post in that thread!

Pete C, it has been a few days since you posted something incredible. Where is your new T206 Plank or E107 Wagner? :D

I finally decided to pickup this E94 Jennings from a board member. I've been interested for sometime now and figured it was time. While it is only an SGC A, the colors are awesome!!

Card 27 of 30 this month.

Rob I suggested this months ago even though I'm sure some have before me. I was greeted with the "This isn't Facebook" rants.

I think it's a good idea for at least a like option.

Nice Doyle btw.

Nice grover rc too Glenn

Never thought I'd get this--as my first DiMaggio. And a few other guys who were okay. Don't see this in blue too often. Was only interested in this as blue and well-centered so I am kind of shocked.

Congrats, and at a nice price. I almost made it more expensive in the final seconds, but didn't bid.

Thanks for holding back! It was a rare case of making a what-the-hell last minute bid and not getting topped...

My bank account was happy to oblige, but I was not as enthusiastic. Please just tell me you had a really high max bid and I didn't miss out! (one instance where a white lie is preferable;))

Adding--- it really is such a great card. 4 HOFers total, and the passing of the torch between Gehrig and young Joe D.

...subgrades are : 9 , 7 , 8 , 8.

..Nellie Fox...LewEESE Aparicio....let's just say the play-by-play announcers said those names a lot..

..

.

Might want to check the paper stock on those two.

Rob,

The paper stock is just fine. They are also the same size. Scanner issue.

.

I'm super psyched to add this tough type to my Pittsburgh collection - thanks for advertising the ebay auctions through the Net54 contest or I might not have even noticed it:

Thanks, Brian.

I am not a paper expert, but the print and the texture of the paper I do not associate with the early 1900s.

Thanks. Lucky for me some people don't consider game cards to be baseball cards, or I might have had to pay 10x as much for it.

:D I guess you haven't contacted Hasbro :D.

and thank you for beating me out of this one!!!!

One of the great postwar cards (in my view). Maybe it's the red and turquoise....no a bad young player, either.

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1443039744

lololol

There goes the college education, LMAO.....

always loved this card and had to have another....though this one cost me more than the 4 I bought a few years ago...

http://luckeycards.com/pr319ruth2.jpeg

Why the 2.5? Looks a lot nicer.

There are a few almost imperceptible wrinkles on the reverse, in the upper right sphere. There could be a bit of wrinking on the lower front but if there is it doesn't bother me. It looks like there might be a few errant, erased marks on back too. I noticed some and it didn't bother me.... I didn't buy the holder (not that you said I did, but I always like cards more than plastic).

This might sound like sour grapes but I actually like it a bit better than the 4 I had because this one has better centering (and that one had great centering).....Now, when I find this kind of card and it's a T205 Cobby......then I will be back to some of my favorite cards in Collection II.....I love the journey....

http://luckeycards.com/pr319ruth2b.jpeg

Leon,

Great card.

I can see a wrinkle below the bat parallel to the arch of Ruth's lip and another one on his hip on the right side, but I'm also no expert at grading. Never submitted a card. Never will :) :D.

Thanks, it is certainly possible there are a few wrinkles going through to the front.....the aesthetics aren't very affected, to me.

ps...as an update there are a few faint paper wrinkles at the bottom right on the front. There are no other surface imperfections I can see under a 10x.....though there appears to be a tiny surface abrasion in the upper left, away from his head and not able to be seen very well or by the naked eye. All in all, better than expected.

Awesome pick up Leon. That card has very nice registration as well. Extremely tough to find with that kind of centering AND registration.

Nearing the finish line (the last 3 are on their way). The cards and photo all came from board members, thanks again everyone.

Love that Ware's. Very nice.

To quote the Turtles, "So happy together". Thank you to Tim Carroll; you are the number one cartophilic artist in the world. If anyone ever has an opportunity to pick up one of Tim's works, don't think twice. They are amazing!

Two nice pick ups:

T206 Cobb Green Portrait
 

Was able to pick up this Green Portrait to complete the set of four! :D

.

My first Uzit. Thanks Ted!!

Great cards guys.

I'm a sucker for SLer's
 

I've given up on the monster but I'm currently hoarding SLer's :) I just meant to buy the Ogle but I got a good deal on the rest of the 210's.

Congrats on the Uzit Steve - probably my favorite looking T206 back

Nice Fred Paine S74 Silk
 

Picked up this nice colored S74 silk of Fred Paine. I have another that is blue which makes a cool contrast.


Patrick

Wow! Beautiful card!

A few more 1918's, getting closer on this impossible set (at 66/104)

c 1904 Pacific Coast League / Portland vs. Los Angeles
 

This may be 1903, but is more likely 1904. It was taken in Portland at Vaughn Street Park (aka at that time Recreation Park).
The photo shows a PCL game between Portland and Los Angeles. I believe Los Angeles is at bat.
See the link below for more material of this era, including major league.

1933 Goudey Gehrig #92
 

This baby arrived today from a private collector with a good eye who is liquidating his collection. So pleased to finally find this well-centered!
Registration and color are just crazy in-person. I do love me a Gehrig!

Excellent Rhett.

That is a really nice Gehrig, congrats Jason!

Jason: that Gehrig is awesome. My all time favorite card(s).

Thanks guys -- been looking for one of this quality for a few years now, so I'll certainly enjoy this one.

Nice UZIT pickup Steve!! :D. Hope to be able to add one to my collection sometime

Thanks Travis!!

Picked up a couple of Zach Wheat's. E-121 series of eighty and S74 Silk.

Great group of Zeenuts, Rhett!

Raleigh card show. Nothing major but some good prices on a Sunday afternoon.

Thanks to board member
 

T206 chase

WOW :eek:


Here's my crappy McBride lol

And my first Leach ever.

That Wagner is very appealing!

Thank you, Eric:

When is a baseball card collector a stamp collector?

1941 Goudey
 

Happy to finally pickup the red background...

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/ne...eyWyattRed.jpg

With apologies to the one other guy who bid on these, with a last second snipe that wasn't high enough (contact me, maybe we can do some trading), these up the count of different Baseball Magazine supplements (both m113 & m114) in my collection to 875 :

I posted this earlier before it came in mail but, stupid me, I have to admit that I had no idea this was large "exhibit size," for some reason I thought more like the small Goudey 4-in-1s. So I am, of course, floored by how beautiful it is at this size, making it now one of my ten favorite all-time cards, and makes me want to get a few similar. Also this blue tint version seems to be very, very scarce--almost always found in "slate" or faint green....

In fact, I have read a number of posts on IDing these are 1936 and 1937, and colors associated with each, and it still seems to be an open questions--not sure if that has been nailed down at all...and no idea how it affects pricing of any of them...

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1443624225

The size of the holder and card relative to the flip was a clue. :D

Yeah, I should have known--but at least the mistake ended up in my favor--not like I expected a larger card and it ended up mini....

Well today is my 32nd birthday and I made my 30 card mark for September thanks to some really great board members. My collection had a lot of new additions, but my bank account is still crying :eek::(:eek: Thanks to my wife and the ability to stretch my requirements for this month, I actually hit 32 cards. I doubt I will be doing this again, but is was fun. It will be much cheaper to just go to National.

http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=19172

I had a really fun September. Had to part with a few cards I enjoyed having, but it was worth it. I got most of these from board members (thanks Joe, Scott, Luke, and Andy). If you have any Sovereign 150s available, please let me know.
