N172 King Kelly
 

I was the under bidder on that one, Luke. Great looking card. Congratulations!

Thanks Dave! I came super close to letting you have it :)

Thank you, gentlemen. It's amazing to me how big a difference going from a 3 to a 4 means in overall eye appeal. I might just have to start working predominantly at that level from now on. And Chuck, you know I love that Cobb. My favorite of his four cards in the set. That is one I plan on adding very soon in the new year.

Ken, I failed to congratulate you earlier on the Magee. That's a beautiful example. My compliments.

Luke, that King is so beautiful.

Rob, love the Foxx!

Grant, congrats on the Griffith pick up. Good choice for your second T206. Are you hooked yet? :p

kamikidEFFL, good luck on the '38 Goudey set. I look forward to seeing your collection grow.

Great cards, everybody! I enjoy looking at this thread a few times every day.

Excited to have won this in Goodwin.

I'm really happy for you. That's a beautiful piece!

Thanks Bill!

I love your Conroy, stunning card.

PS- your Gerald Early quote is one of my favorite quotes too. I've watched the Ken Burns doc 100's of times.

Derek, beautiful looking Greenberg RC!

Bill
 

Nice Conroy. My favourite T206, aesthetically speaking.

Nice pickup!

Love to get my hands on a 34 Greenberg that nice sometime soon

Arrived Today
 

Just got this in today. BIG thanks to Larry Harris for cutting me a deal on Big Ed. Absolutely incredible looking card, just a bit of residue on the back gave me the opportunity to own this card at a price I could afford. Horribly under graded IMO, who cares about the back? Sorry back collectors, I like the pictures on the front, not the advertising on the back (I may never turn it over ever again!)

That's sharpe and I agree who area bout the advertisement on the back great lookin card.

Just had these come in today and very excited to check off two more off the list. The set is moving slowly but still moving

Derek,
Your Collins-McCarthy pickup is a "to die" for card to this Sam Rice card collector! My raw example of this card would grade "poor," at best (it looks rather like your Boston Store card of Rice). Congratulations!!
Val

Picked up these two T206 Cubbies that I still needed for my T206 Cubs master set from SSA. I love that the Rube Kroh with the SC 350 30 back also has a Toy Town stamp.

Nice pickups, Nate...but what the heck is the significance of a toy town stamp?

Here is a thread that talks about it a little. I don't think it's anything too significant, but it is well known enough for SGC to put it on the slip. I don't believe the stamps are at all factory related. From what I remember, the stamp is usually found on E cards.

NY Americans
 

A big thanks to board member Seiklis for working out a deal for these...a big help in my quest to put together a NY American T-card set.

Here's a real nice $-In-Shield postcard of White Sox player Jakey Atz. The White Sox players are much tougher to find than the Cubs so I'm real happy to land this one. And it is also the first time I've purchased a postcard from Luxembourg!

Nice Jeff! I was watching that one closely...tough type-PC! He'll fit right in w/ the rest if the guys in your collection!

Thanks Bill. Hooked? Naaaaah…. ;)

From Bagger's Auction that just ended (Dave, thanks for the super-fast shipping!), one for my N172 Washington collection, and one for my Sam Rice collection. BTW, I'm still looking for a 1926 Spalding Champions - Rice card with the advertising back.

ID efforts welcome -- 1910 Red Sox in Vermont
 

ID's are tough on this one, but feel free to weigh in.

The Boston Red Sox played an October 10, 1910 intersquad game at Centennial Field in Vermont. They divided into two teams led by Vermonters Larry Gardner (shown here receiving a silver cup) and Ray Collins. Hall of Famers Tris Speaker and Harry Hooper also played that day. Joe Wood pitched. The Gardners won 4-1. The teams:

Gardners: Larry Gardner, Clyde Engle, Hugh Bradley, Heine Wagner, Charley Hall, Red Kleinow, Joe Wood, Marty McHale, Chris Mahoney.

Collins's: Harry Hooper, Doc Moskiman, Tris Speaker, Duffy Lewis, Bill Carrigan, Billy Purtell, Dutch Lerchen, Bunny Madden, Ray Collins.

Derek - That Greenberg is very nice, would love to get one like that eventually. I scored these and couple more commons at the Sun Times show yesterday.

wow some really nice pick ups guys. Wish i had some of these in my own collection

Amazing Red Sox PC, bbpostcards!

One more Red Sox
 

Thanks, Jason. Here's one more Red Sox (this one's a photo, sized a little wider than and not quite as tall as a postcard). Could be April 25 or May 27 or Sept 4, all days Ruth took a win or loss as a pitcher.

LOTG Pick Up
 

A few more catchers
 

Excited finally to pick up a Chief Meyers T213-3 Coupon at a nice price after missing this card several times. Also grabbed a catcher B18.


Patrick

Jeff-nice Rose PC.

Patrick- Congrats on the Coupon Meyers.

Meyers T213s
 

Thanks Mike. I was beginning to think I would never win a T213-3.

I have a nice front Meyers catching run going with his T206, T213-2, and the new T213-3.


Patrick

Nice pick ups everyone!!

Finally!
 

Here's what may be my last purchase for awhile. Looked for quite some time for a nice copy I could afford. Here it is.

^^^ Nice! Being a Detroit fan, I see at least five Tigers in there.

.

wow, Nice Voskamps
Congrats

Its over.....

Steven,

Congratulations!

Great job Steven.And that's a beauty of a Cobb!

Whoa, nice one, Steve! That's not just a "filler". Congrats!

(it looks odd seeing the new signature in your posts ;) )

+1

Wow, those are beauties.

A milestone that deserves its own thread (with SCANS :eek:). Congrats Steven!

Great looking Cobb. Congrats

LOTG pickup
 

:D Shag

Cool

That was my consignment; you got (in my opinion) a good price. I thought it would get closer to $200. I was so bummed that when I subbed it to SGC that it came in at 35... thought it could have squeaked a forty.

Congrats!
