Andy, that Evers Factory 8 overprint is AWESOME. So tough to find one, let alone one with an HOF front. Great pick up. Congrats

I’m very happy to add this beauty after considerable delay shipping from the UK. Net54 turned me on to this card and I had to have one:

So this is the first time I can post in this section, and I'm really excited. Here's a little thread about me saying I wanted to get started in pre-war and T206s and asking for advice.

https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=285990


And today, I got this in the mail. It's not in the greatest shape, and I've never heard of the guy. But it's my very first T206, and now I can look him up and do some research about him. Going forward, I hope to get cards closer to Ex condition as I'm not a big fan of creases, rounded corners, etc.

By the way, this came in with another lot I bought. I didn't buy this particular card. It was in a larger lot with 3-4 graded cards, some 70s-80s star base and some 1990s star base and inserts that I bought on Blowout for $50.

Can you share the story behind it?

How exciting!

I still remember the 1st 2 pre-war cards I ever got were gifts from my father. A 1933 Goudey Pepper Martin and soon afterwards a T206 of the mustachioed John Titus! I have a soft spot for those 2 cards ever since.

Ollie Pickering is actually a pretty solid player. He had a long Major League career and was teammates at various times during his career with a young Walter Johnson, Nap Lajoie, and in 1897 with a young rookie for the Louisville Colonels named Honus Wagner!

Thanks Ryan, no real story. Showed up on ebay, purchased and card was delivered. Kind of anti-climatic though I was nervous someone would try to intervene.

Rhotchkiss 08-06-2020 06:25 PM

That is a story. Showed up raw? On eBay? Wow, you probably stole it to. Very great. I am very happy for you

CobbSpikedMe 08-06-2020 06:29 PM

That really is cool DJ. Happy for you.

1916-20 UNC Big Head
 
1 Attachment(s)
Came back from PSA:

1: Hornsby was a Net54 traveler before it got to me in 2015. It sat in a SGC slab until now.

2. Cobb came from another Net54 member in 'raw' and now is in a PSA holder

I have been fortunate to know only a few members who have/ or had interest in this 1916-20 Big Heads...Anyone else collects or has these????
I read that Leon had some at one time and found some interesting info on this set on this forum.

Chris, I love the Big Heads. Very cool set. Congrats.

I had a busy night in Heritage last night- stuff just keeps getting more and more expensive!

The Griffith & Crawford are my favorites.

It’s a wonderful card. Considering how low the graded population is, it’s surprising that you can pick them up relatively inexpensively. The fact that Ruth isn’t identified by name definitely keeps the visibility low. The image used is the same as the 1929 Shonen Club postcard where Ruth is identified.

I was wondering whom I was bidding against on that Griffith. I owned that very card some 20 years ago. One of the few t206 cards I actually miss owning. That and my Drum backed Baker.

joejo20 08-10-2020 11:19 AM

I was excited to find out that Lou Criger was the Player/Manager for my small hometown team for one season and had to find something nice for an example.

Now on the hunt for RPPC of this team.

Thanks again Patrick!

Rhotchkiss 08-10-2020 01:11 PM

It actually does...you and I just can't read it. The translation is:

"The moment that Babe Ruth, hailed as the world home run king, swings his bat with all his might. It looks like the ball quickly flew over the fence for a home run, as the catcher and umpire look up and the Babe's face beams with pleasure. The fans packed in the stands watch awestruck."

Thank you! The team is called the Boyne City Boosters and 1911 was the year Criger was player/manager. They played in the Michigan State League. I would love to find some original ephemera or memorabilia. Joe

My first time posting on the pickup thread, but it felt like when you get your first Cobb, it is something worth sharing and celebrating. From a Heritage auction a few weeks ago

Fantastic cards, guys!

I'm very happy to acquire these cards from Jamie B. As you know, he has a few epic runs (Cobb, Seymour, etc), and I'm stoked to get these "extras" from him. Thanks Jamie!

I guess I'm kinda doing a player run now(?)... :)
