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.

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.

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 :)
