April pickups...Fool!!!
 

I was very happy to have picked this up last week from David Slomer...thanks Dave!

today
 

Today's lucky haul...street value is off the charts!

After the rehearsal dinner for my youngest daughter's wedding Thursday night, I managed to snag another card for my D311 set. Thanks Dan!
P.S. The wedding was fabulous and perfect :D
Did put a crimp on my card buying budget the last couple of months though...

nice try
 

Nice try. But seriously, I was the under bidder TWICE for big money on that card.

I guess this flew under the radar but I was fortunate enough to win this T206 Mathewson horizontal multi Piedmont back in the new Coaches T206 Corner auction.

Lovely Day...

Ignacio

that is a cool looking card. Fits the Miami scene.

Although it is not technically "in hand", I did manage to acquire this Walter Johnson portrait with ghost image on the reverse....

Lionel carter t206 plank

Congrats!

Congrats!
 

Very nice

All over the place so far in the last few days but managed to find the card I missed from Goodwin.


Should be quiet until Strongsville on the 13th

sweet Plank!

PLank
 

I love that it was Lionel's Plank card. I know there was a little story about it, concerning when he acquired it, or how....so there is some history to it which other Planks don't have. Congrats!!

Congrats on the Plank!
JimB

thx guy ! as you can see on the pic i am verry happy:)

Hate to see Carter's Plank go, but I needed to have enough money for these SUPER RARE signed T206 variations, which I really did pick up at the end of last week.

:D

Verry nice Paul!

Congrats Nelson! That is my #1 wish list card..:) enjoy!!!

Thx reg
Yep it is my top card too. I can only dream about the wagner so the card after the wagner for me is plank i love too look this card...it is my grail.

I think most of us can only dream about the Wagner..:D I think a Plank could be in my grasp if I could stop buying HOFs and NY Amer. cards..:)
Maybe one day!!!!

I had to make choice too for afford the plank, i am not a millionnaire guy, i am a worker guy so i had to sell my 1969 Dodge charger rt to afford the plank

I know just how you feel! While I didn't buy a high dollar card! Last year I sold my baby..:( ( a high dollar red sports car to pay for more schooling)

Congrats !! Beautiful pick up. That would've been a really hard one to let go of :eek: Great job !!

Sincerely, Clayton

Congrats on the plank...sounds like a mutually agreeable transaction...nice work!

My new old Cy is from Lionels collection...even though they were stored in separate binders...Cy told me he misses Eddie!

If ill find other t206 lionel card I will probably take it.

Congrats!
 

Nelson congrats on the Plank! It is a wonderful card! Are you thinking about adding a Magie error to go along with the Plank someday?

Again Congrats on a great pick up!

All the Best,
Ryan H.

i owned in the past a Magie GAI AUTH, i am not a biggg fan of the Magie card but yes someday i will perhaps buy a magie error.

Now i'll try to have all BASIC t206 card, no error or variation for now. When i will complete my basic set, i will start to afford variation and error. I would like to have a 514 card set with a reprint wagner :( héhé

after that, i will buy demmit o'hara, Magie ...

thanks you guy for all your comment.

Nelson, Sweet pickup on the Plank, glad everything went smooth w/ Brian on your international pickup.

yep Jay everything work perfectly !

There's always another Mopar to buy in the future, great card!!!

Rawn

yep it is easy to find another Charger... not easy to find another Plank :)

Man, if I gotta look at one more picture of a guy Planking....

Latest pickups from Sterling...
 

Another nicely executed auction by Brian and Sterling...I grabbed a couple more T205s...

Peter- if I had to have someone beat me to the punch on the E94 red background Young, I'm glad it was you. I'll keep looking for it and the violet background one....
tbob

Thanks Bob...I really do appreciate that! Got any extra turners or wagses!!!!!!

Thank You to fellow board members Scott and Rhett:

One for each collection
 

Now at 228 in the SGC 40 collection, thanks to a trade up/down with Jon. The Needham miscut was from Sterling.

Dummy Ryn Cabinet circa 1890

From my trade up/down with Erick.

wow, great Hoy cabinet!

Don't think it's Hoy, Jeff

nm

oh yeah, whoops.

Sorry about the confusion

Should have listed as John Ryn. Dummy was apparently given to him as he was deaf mute.

First Tolstoi, and another Highlander...

either way, it's still very cool

Jennings/Moriarty combo
 

@atx840

Whoa! I also just recently picked up T206s of Jennings and Moriarty. Nice cards!! Here are mine:

Got both from Kevin Savage. Just slipped the Moriarty into the binder 2 days ago.

Glenn

Congrats on finishing the 1961 Topps set. Cool set it is.

Thanks!! Got to admit, I got a lot of satisfaction out of that one. It was fun to work on. High numbers were tough, without being quite as tricky as '66 or '67 (still working on those!!)

April Pick up
 

April Pick up :

My last arrival this morning !
thanks to the board member for the deal !

http://i42.servimg.com/u/f42/11/52/54/64/t206co10.jpg

Jeremy- nice Whitney! I haven't seen that card before, must be tough.
Bob

Finally got a Rebel back!
 

The Rebel!

Wow - a blank-backed ghost! That has got to be very rare.

...and as weird-looking as the Jennings portrait card can be, I think yours is unsurpassable!

Beautiful Cobb - can't get any nicer in that grade.

Thanks Scott.

Great pickups everyone!

E95 Matty
 

Thanks Quan!

Just call me the "Outbid King"
 

Nice cards everyone!

Rob D. - Love the Cobb & a Polar Bear back too!

Received this in the mail today from the bay.
Cuban card pre dates Newk's MLB rookie card by a few years and also pictures him in his Newark Eagles uniform. I believe the only other contemporary cards that show players in their Negro uni's are the Doble Aguila Dihigo (Hilldale) and the 2 Toleteros of Fernando Pedroso (NY Cubans) but please correct me if I'm forgetting someone else.
Anyways, pretty important card IMO when it comes to collecting Cuban cards and if I was compiling a list of TOP100 Negro cards, this one may slip in.
This is the only one graded by SGC and none by PSA.

great card, Steve. Nice image.

Thanks Jason!!

Two more Highlanders arrived today!

Thanks to fellow board member Tim for a great transaction!

Some great pickups everyone, love the Cobbs!

I picked up this Unusual OBAK, knew it was trimmed from a sheet but got it and its thinner than normal OBAKs and the color is so sharp (anyone got another Steen to compare it to). Very happy with it but wondering if some of the full sheets out there are thinner also.

Series 8 beauty
 

Thanks Jeremy!

1st Tolstoi HOFer
 

I put in a lowball bid for this one without really even looking at the card. Was pretty pleased when it arrived. It's my first Tolstoi back. Also, the seller didn't mention it has a wet transfer on the front from another Tolstoi back. It's also probably the nicest 30 I've ever seen.

Great pick-up, Steve. BTW that card did make my Top 100 Negro League Cards list as well.

Thank you Huggins & Scott!
 

Very happy with this lot, which I thought would go for a bit higher because of the Donlin, Schulte and Ames, which are always tough to find...

Won this one last night..:D

I have seen more wet sheet transfers on Tolstois than with any other ad back. I can't see any reason that the printers would be in a bigger hurry to stack those, than other ads, so my guess is a difference in the ink used?

Steve...
