She's a beauty congrats!!

I usually don't post until I get the card in hand, but I'm pretty happy to get a tough M101 back card.

My First Ruth
 

Picked this up on BST section

Just got it back from SGC - Very Nice Eye Appeal for grade

Nice Cobb!! I hope to add one pretty soon. Have a hard time deciding between Red or Green :D:D.

A few items that arrived yesterday. The Oakes is my 36th different Nadja, Jennings is a nice duplicate, Bescher is unconfirmed for the Nadja set so figured a red crofts would be a decent substitute, and the Bemis, well, I won that before the Bescher, and the Young makes my 4th pick up for the back run (others I have being Nadja, crofts blue, cocoa)

Send me your poor condition, bent, mangled, and nearly destroyed pre-war Hall of Famers yearning to be displayed proudly. :-)

Nice Wheat Brian.

Thank you, Kenny.

Thanks!

Been looking for a low grade example with nice eye appeal for a while. Glad I decided on this one. very happy with it

Even though it is graded 1 the card is still an upgrade for me.

nice

This was my Cobb you picked up. I've now come to the point in life where I have to start paying for the kids' college. UGH!!!

That is beautiful!

Hi Richard. I never knew the card existed before a month ago. Was skimming through the Minor League Card section of Mr. Lemke's catalog, and the name Oscar Judd jumped out at me. Canadian Hall of Famer who never got a major league card. I asked around, and Mark had one for sale. Pretty neat find.

Cheers, Marty

Finally got a Cocky Collins and a Joss throw in the Polar Bear back :D

Thanks to Tony and Mike for those two :)

These are all cards I've gotten over the last week or two but just getting around to uploading pictures. Ruth's are from Leon's auction. Other 2 from board members.

Born 1857 - Saint John, New Brunswick
First Canadian born Major League player.

Beautiful Card...Congrats!

You're on an Old Judge roll. Excellent pickup!

2 out of 4 of my Batter-Ups waiting on 1 more.

Nice pickups so far everyone!

It isn't pretty, but its a 42.

Happy to grab this one! Now for the green portrait to complete the quartet.

T207 Display Cabinet
 

I picked up an old bookcase last year to use for my displaying my T207 collection. Someone had painted the inside pink then white most likely in the 1950s. They also painted over on the hinges as well.

I replaced the old "painted" shelves with plate glass. I was also extremely lucky to find brand new hinges that matched perfectly in an antique shop. Lastly I added a new art nouveau style door knob.

Couldn't get a great picture with all the glare but pretty happy with the results. The stain I used had a poly included that matched the T207 backgrounds and their gloss pretty well.

Patrick

That is really nice Patrick!! Love it.

Thanks
 

Thanks Greg!

Patrick

It's not often that I pick up something for $11.35 that I consider to be an important part of my collection. But this one definitely qualifies. I know it's not pre-war, but it's a team issue of the major leagues' first African American coach, shown as a coach. I always hoped it existed, but never knew until now.

Buck
 

Wow! Fantastic.
Congrats.

What set is the O'Neill card from? Or is it not a card?

It's a Cubs team issue, 8" x 10". I assume it's from 1962-65 when O'Neil coached for the Cubs.

@ GoBuc: Thats a beauty of a Cobb (bat)...the bat versions are awaiting me too.

now THAT is how to display cards!

Thanks Chris! Love the colors on both the bat on and off.

:D Fedex arrived today ... from the Leon Luckey Collection. Most expensive card I've ever cracked to put in my binder :D

That's pretty damn cool looking :)

September Pickups
 

Wow, Beautiful Ruths Gary!

Damn Gary, nice! Please take care of my dream card!!

These just came in from Leon's auction. Bought the lot for the Magee, will be moving the Murphy along soon as I really shouldn't have spent what I did but couldn't be happier with the Magee in my Phillies Type Set

.

Was able to sell my E106 Wagner in PSA 5 and pickup this one within a two week span. Very pleased (and so is my wife)

Nice Gary!! Thank you very much. You might have single-handedly paid for my daughter's college. (although I am not very good at math according to some board Einsteins)

Here's two pretty cool (at least I think so) additions to my Pittsburgh collection:

Thanks, Leon (and Erick, Greg, Chris, & Bryan)! I had been eyeballing a lot of cards in your collection for a long time, and I feel fortunate that you decided to send your cards to auction given how rare many of the items are, and that I was able to win a few of them. Thanks again!

Usually I'd wait to get this in hand, crack it out, re-scan and then post. But this one is just to exciting ....................... :)

Attachment 204192

(by the way, very nice price from PWCC auction)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

VERY NICE Big Ed Walsh Scott !!!

Nice back upgrade for my T206 Cincinnati team set thanks to a board member.

And now for something completely different...
 

A non-paper related pickup from earlier today. 12 complete here (with gromets) and 4 partials on this cut piece. I can't even imagine the others that might have been on the original pre-cut 'blanket'. For those that care more about the checklisted pieces, here is the breakdown.

Complete:
Archer - green(2), red(2), blue
Dooin - light green, blue, purple
Meyers - red, blue
*Chase - red
*Wagner (Heine) - blue
Partials:
Archer - (yes, TWO more) blue, red
Coombs - green
Chase - blue

* I don't see these on the checklist I have access to, but it is a couple years old. Have these 2 been cataloged?

A nice duplicate.
