Wow, Jeff - when you upgrade, you REALLY upgrade. Nice

Probably my favorite of 6 I picked up recently via the BST (Tony). Like the "Stork" pose:

Very nice pick-up, Leon.

Scott -- thanks. I'm addicted to Chase, not ashamed to say it.

Thanks to Jamie for pointing me to this one.

Scott great rppc. I picked up a couple myself.

Beautiful cabinet

Thanks Joe

Tony,

Those are great. I especially like the top one. I have been collecting RPPC's for use in a documentary - probably have enough, but just can't resist a great photo. Now I'm finally finding out who the guys are who have been beating me to death on these :) (and vice versa).

t205

Lovely Day...

Oh, forgot I had one more recent pickup. I'm happy to add this 1935 Goudey Premium Hank Greenberg to the harem without having to breakout any Benjamin's. Whew, glad this went under the radar.

Lovely Day...

Chris! Big Pick Up Congrats!

BL 460 is real tough.... and a HOFer BL460 to boot!!. Great card.

Jamie

I'm pretty new to the vintage scene, I've only collected a handful of vintage items so far and I'm happy to say this is my first major acquisition!

http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/...kf31/Matty.jpg

Nice t205

Hey Mark - FYI, you can also reach me via PM here, or from my website. Much easier than ebay.

Welcome to vintage card collecting!

Thanks Scott, and I will keep that in mind for the future!

Thanks to board member Joey!

Tip Top

Another RPPC. I paid a lot for this one, but the back has notes indicating that the scribe was affiliated with the team. It's only the second Bloomers action shot I've been able to pick up, so very pleased:

1911 Zeenuts
 

A couple of upgrades and a variation card of Smith. The Ryan SF is one of the toughest in the set and to get it in a 60 makes me smile :D

Steve- I think we knew it was lightly trimmed on the bottom but congratulations on a gorgeous and very tough card. It looks great!
tbob

Thanks tbob...I knew it was trimmed but still a very presentable card...it looks great in the SGC holder.

The Wheat and Duffy are from the Sterling auction, and the Beckley and Clarke are from the BST - thanks, Nate!

That Wheat is a great card...way better than a 20

Yeah, the date stamp really brought it down, but I think it's pretty cool.

Scanner
 

Great cards Chris, no we just need to convince you to get a new scanner!

My Old Scanner (like yours):

New Scanner:

Pm me if you need any scanner suggestions!

Scott, Tony, Rich,
Those postcards are too cool!
JimB

Thanks! That's what I was thinking. I was comparing my scans to everyone else's. Maybe I need to adjust some settings.

Thanks to Chris B...I love this one...and it will be in my collection until I die...or become terminally ill and need the $$$$ for morphine!!!!!

Absolutely love that Wheat card, was one of the underbidders on it actually. I wish more "20s" looked like that!

My first may pick up and my first southern league player

Thanks. It's probably the nicest T206 I have ever owned. Really looks great in person.

1928 Exhibit card of Babe Ruth....
 

1928 Exhibit card of Babe Ruth...

Peter that looks great. I love N43 maybe some day I will own the N43 Ewing

zach...thanks! there are a few ewings on fleabay right now...they don't come cheap!!!!!!

Yup I just dropped some major buck on the N29 Ewing this week, so I am chillin for awhile. I keep seeing that N43 Ewing on ebay for $6,000, a little rediculous of a price in my opinion.

1929 Kashin Babe Ruth (R316)

Thanks Jim. Add Leon to the group of collectors - if any two of us dropped out, the ebay prices would probably drop by 2/3

Cy arrived today - Thanks to Sterling for a well-run auction, quick shipping, great packing and reasonable s&h:

http://www.sterlingsportsauctions.co...apr806_lg.jpeg

Great stuff guys! Jeff very nice Chase.

Chris and Mike super score on the BL460's congrats. :eek:

Cheers,

John, so are you trying to tell us that you have a 'Griffith batting' available for trade?

Nice little pick-up

LOL I guess it would help if the first picture was there...

It's a shame Heritage didn't do a nice T206 book like Legendary and Goodwin did - would have been a nice coffee table addition for you.

Glad it went to a good home Pete!

Where did you find that?

What a beautiful set John! Congrats.

518, which two are missing as it only mentions Plank and Magie?

John-Great images on those Old Judges. Are you starting to work on the set?

Jay, not that crazy yet. Besides you have them all anyways. :)

I'm picking up nice examples where I can my plan is to get 50-100 that have really good images. But as you know they are just tough to find with good images.

Cheers,

John

Got this off the BST board. Thanks Phil

They Invent Airplanes Don't They
 

I'm excited to show off one of my few purchases the last five months. Now that it is part of my collection, I have been think about this card on the ride to work, ride from work and during most meetings. :).

Reviewed the older threads on this trade card - my goal is to find out when and who took this photo and when it began to be distributed. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think those questions have yet to answered?

Have a great May guys. happy Collecting.

Got my SIXTH and final Cobb for my T202 set, 1 more Matty down Four to go :(
and the second to last card for my M116 Cubs master set.
