Very nice Michigan Sportservice pieces, those are very rare. You haven't by chance come across a Hal Newhouser, have you? I believe that although it is catalogued, it really does not exist.

Babe Ruth card pick-up

that's a sweet Ruth. My fave of the 4 Goudeys. congrats

Picked up today

it is postally used, but it's hard to make out the date. Here's some info on it...

Got this one from Dan Paradis via ebay. Thanks Dan!

The following statement is pretty useless. I saw a few of these years ago and at that time I was not aware how difficult of a card they were. I believe that I saw a Newhouser but I can't confirm 100%.

Another one for my N.Y. Nat'l..:D

From the NC find - going to slowly work on a nice looking National League set:

E98 Matty
 

Almost halfway with this one towards my E98 Master Set

A beauty from Paul Carek via the B/S/T. Thanks Paul!

I've always loved that matty. Nice red background

Pretty excited about my Jackie pick up

1st Cobb
 

I thought my first Cobb would be a T206, but this one from the Brockelman & Luckey auction is pretty cool.

Best regards,

Joe

The E98 Matty is one of my favorite cards in the hobby. Good luck on the master set.

Pete,
Nice Jackie!!!

Ok, none of these are Nov. pickups, but I did pick them up over the last two months or so and haven't shown them yet . . .

Trae,
I'm no expert on grading, but is your Steinfeldt undergraded?

Thanks, John, it is a nice looking 3. There are a few spots of paper loss on the back. I think that's what knocked it down, although there were several other cards in the same submission that PSA didn't punish us for... gotta love grading... ha.

Walter Johnson was from a BST trade (thanks Pete),

The Babe just arrived today.... (bit blurry from scanner, very crisp card!)

from the last Sterling auction...
 

not sure I'm actively collecting the set, but along with the Mathewson, the Wheat card is one of my all-time favorites...

Great card Pete. This is an example of why caramel cards are so great! :D

I Echo others!
 

Pete,
I echo others. Beautiful Matty!
Best Wishes,
Tim

Thanks Craig
 

Thanks to Craig for this one. This will look great together

I have to think Mr. Danahy had a nice collection...I have a photo from his collection you might find interesting...

Matt, love the photo. Thanks for sharing that.

Hi-
I picked up these vintage snapshots at the Wilmington MA show from the same dealer. I love the smiling Cobb! It is great to see him at bat (even if it is a far away view). I am looking forward to researching the games this week. Amazing pickups from everyone else so far!

They are great pickups Alan. Great meeting up with the guys, but come on, spring for a NET54 shirt. It makes it easier to see fellow card addicts.

Didn't buy anything, but got leads on some great stuff.

My son, Kendall, is now wondering about the next show. Get the kids involved.

Must have checked 500 206's for McCormick stamps, none found.

first w600
 

Thanks to Steve M. Absolutely great guy to deal with!

Pete

Very nice looking card

Leon, where do you want the photos? Here, or with autographs and game-used memorabilia?

Since mostly all I collect other than cards is photos, it would be good to get some guidance, rather than wait for another wrist-slap. ;)

New Leader In The Clubhouse
 

My two big pick ups for the month (and probably for a while).

November pickups
 

Here are a few cards I acquired at the Wilimington Show this weekend. Sorry for the cut off scan on the four cards..........

Illustrated London News Woodcut
 

Happy to add this beautiful woodcut to my collection! IMO, this one ranks close to the Creighton Memorial in terms of eye appeal. Hope to get it framed soon!

Beautiful, George!

That one may top the Creighton piece. Can you please provide all players names pictured along with the date of the piece for me?

Thanks a lot

Thanks Phil! This woodcut came out of the Illustrated London News (March 23, 1889). It is titled "The American Baseball Players at Kennington Oval - Visit of the Prince of Wales" and measures ~W 23" x ~H 16" It has a lot of similarities to the Creighton woodcut in that it shows players from each team (in this case "All America" vs "Chicago") along with a game in progress in the center. As you can see, there are also numbered illustrations which depict a ball, strike, a comic like mascot etc. along with Anson shaking hands with the Prince of Wales (bottom illustration). The match-up is fascinating as it shows Anson on the upper left and John Ward on the upper right. Players are as follows:

All America
Ward, Captain, All America
E. Hanlon
C.A. Wood
W. Earle
J Healy
J Manning
Graine
T.L Brown
F.H Carroll
J.C Fogarty

Chicago
Anson, Captain, Chicago
E.N Williamson
J. Ryan
R H. Pettit
J.K Tener
Martin Sullivan
Fred Pfeffer
T.P Daly
T.L Burns
Mark Baldwin

Wow, George, that's fantastic. Congrats on the pickup.

Doug

Steve: Sounds like a busy weekend. Sweet pickups! Love the Holmes to Homes cards and I 'm not even a back guy :)

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!
Val

Jeff
 

Great looking postcard!! That might make me want to start collecting them!!

ah... crap.

someone post a t206 ASAP!

on it, recent upgrade

Awesome Chase, also wow thats a lot of Holmes to Homes, great pickups you hardly see one much less a few!

My First E107
 

Just bought this E107 Cy Young.. my favorite card. Can't wait to get it!

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:
