Posted By: <b>Dustan Hedlin</b><p>Just got this in today; love this card, as it gets me 1 step closer to my Cubs team set, and it's my first card from the Lionel Carter collection. This is my 34th T206....slowly but surely.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/Dustanh1/T206/Pfeffer.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>Finally got a Walter Johnson for my HOF collection. It has great eye appeal and the small S.B. on the reverse doesnt bother me! Also picked up this record on eBay.

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Hi Brian. Just a suggestion- if you would let the 3 or 4 collectors who need the Miller to complete their Obak sets win once in a while, you'd be paying $30-35 for your Miller cards instead of $300-400 <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Brian- Nice cards! You just can't beat nice caramels. I guess most folks here know by now that you just can't find a lot of these caramels in grades higher than 50 or 60, so 40s, in sets like the E94, E97 and E98 are higher ended cards. Good pick-ups.<br />tbob

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Phil,<br /><br /> Very interesting McGowan. Mine is dated 1951 and says "American League umpire" below his name. Also, mine lists the school in Daytona Beach, with yours listing the school in Cocoa. I knew that different cards from this set were issued in different years. But this is the first time I have seen the same card from two different years.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1214159980.JPG"> <br /><br />By the way, here's a scan of the textbook from McGowan's school. It's from 1949 and lists the school in Cocoa, just like your card.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1214160028.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Dustan Hedlin</b><p>Just got these in from the B/S/T. Gives me 38 total, and I think around 9 or 10 Cubs. I can't figure out why the Devlin is only a 30; the front and back are both clean and look crease free. Guess I have to get out my loupe.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/Dustanh1/T206/Devlin.jpg"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/Dustanh1/T206/Maddox.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/Dustanh1/T206/Pfeister.jpg"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/Dustanh1/T206/Zimmermann.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Chris Counts</b><p>Jeff,<br /><br />That's a great Bell Brand Koufax you picked up. I don't recall ever seeing a Bell Brand on this forum. They've always been one of my favorite sets, ever since I started coming across them as a kid growing up in Southern California in the early 70s ...

Posted By: <b>Trae R.</b><p>Dustan, that is a very nice Devlin indeed. That card is one I see consistently registered well with nice color and centering. Now that I mentioned it, keep an eye out and I suspect you will notice the same. At one point I had multiples that were all very nice and it was tough to choose which one to swap out for a different T206 portrait -- that's all I collect is the portraits.<br /><br />Here's the one I chose to keep:<br /><img src="http://www.t206.org/misc/devlin.jpg"><br><br> <br /> <br /> <br />---<br />"There ain't much to being a ballplayer, if you're a ballplayer."<br />-Honus Wagner

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>I finally completed my T205 Cubs team set!!!<br />Took about 3 years, on a budget that limited me to, as you will see, VG-EX condition cards. But I think they are all nicely presentable.<br /><br />I have posted scans of the fronts and backs on my site (not all can be enlarged, but I will get to that soon, I hope). I love the writing on the backs.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thetriple-l.com/vintagechicagocubs.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.thetriple-l.com/vintagechicagocubs.htm</a><br /><br />Thanks to all who helped!

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>That is a truly outstanding image of Gehrig....thanks for sharing.<br />Never seen that M114 before.<br /><br />In fact, your post has further cemented my intention to focus on some of the largest names in the sport once I finish with my current projects: Tobacco Cubs team sets, Classic T206, and post-war player sets.<br /><br />The collection will not be complete without a Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb -and perhaps one or two of those crummy pre-war era pitchers, like Mathewson and Young.<br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br />someday....
