Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>I took the liberty of starting another pickup thread since the last one takes forever to load.<br /><br />Received this beauty in the mail today from TBob. Many thanks for parting with the 1912 Zeenut Burch. It's my third 1912 Zeenut. Ironically, I have one each of the 3 back types now. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1192121265.JPG"> <br /><br />Patrick<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Thanks Patrick, glad I could help. As you know that's one tough card.<br />I picked up a couple more from Lionel's collection, can't seem to get enough of them whether they are T cards or E cards. <br />Also raw Obaks are still a great buy.<br /><br /><img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/trophybob/1012_1243495-006.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br><br /><img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/trophybob/1012_1243495-305.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br><br /><img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/trophybob/b4b4_1.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br><br /><img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/trophybob/0873_1.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br><br />

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>now that is a beautiful Nebraska Baseball item!<br /><br /><br />(thank you for your kind words on the SGC slab Cobb. Most of the credit goes to you... as it was my nice amount of background information on the item -- obtained because of your help and nudging -- that tipped the scales into slab-ability.)

Posted By: <b>RC</b><p>I was finally able to pick up my last T-206 Red. It took a little longer than I suspected because the others seemed to turn up pretty easily in my price range whereas the Bescher Hands In Air seemed to demand a little higher dollar.<br />I'm particularly excited because this one is from the Lionel Carter Collection. It makes it special to me to have come from Mr. Carter's collection.<br /><br /> [img]<img src="http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w30/rc4157/Tobacco%20Cards/BescherBobHandsInAir-T206LionelCart.jpg">[/img]<br /><br />Edited to add: I probably won't break this one out. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>I am not a big fan of T201s in general.<br /><br />But with the two autographs on the card - it becomes ridiculously cool.<br /><br /><br />nice pickup.

Third October Pickup Thread
 

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>...this card (and a couple of other signed ones I bought) have made me at least pseudo-curious about collection T201's. The signatures just make this card complete, in my humble opinion. I have never seen a dual-signed pre-war card before, and am wondering whether anyone else ever has?

Third October Pickup Thread
 

Posted By: <b>Marc S.</b><p>that there is at least one 19th century team cabinet card that was signed by multiple players of the team on the back. Does that count? I do not specifically remember which auction it was from...but I'm pretty sure I do remember it.<br /><br />Cheers

Third October Pickup Thread
 

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>I don't think you'll ever find a multi player card from the prewar era with multiple autographs like your T201. That is definitely a great card. How did you pick it up, private sale, auction, ebay?

Third October Pickup Thread
 

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>...in a private sale from an autograph dealer. I primarily try to acquire signed T206 cards, but his small collection of signed T201's was too good to pass up. The signed Meyers-Doyle was the only one dual-signed.

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>On the Dietsche postcard....<br /><br />What is that by Cobb's feet?<br /><br />At first glance I thought it was a base -<br /><br />but it looks more like a jacket. <br /><br />?

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>Congratulations on both cards though the Topping is just about the cat's meow. (Bet that's the first time that expression has been used on this Board <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> )<br /><br />I was so, so close to pulling the trigger on the Topping. It is deluxe!!!

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Joe D - I feel a caption contest coming on...

Third October Pickup Thread
 

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Joe, I don't have a clue but it certainly does not look like a base. Additionally, I can't imagine a scenario which would have Cobb reaching out for a ball so close to a base -- from right field.

Third October Pickup Thread
 

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>it was an infield pop fly<br /><br />and cobby killed the second baseman by trampling him en route to making a spectacular catch (coming all the way from center field).<br /><br />those are the remnants of detroit's second baseman.<br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>S Gross</b><p>I know there's a new pick up thread, so I don't mind hyjacking the Cobb "at second base" photo with a ol' baseball story:<br /><br /><br />I was playing summer college ball (long ago), and was on the bench (like normal). Our infield had a base runner caught off between first and second. However, the infield was putzing aroung trying to tag this guy out, in a four or five throw run-down. Finally, our CF charges in grabs the ball, mid-air, and the runner at the same time, and tackles him (holding the ball, a legit out). BTW, the CF was 6' something 250 lb, who also played line man at Bethune-Cookman. I guess you had to be there, but it was a GREAT play !!!!!

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Great story about the center fielder.....since we are OT here's one...when I was in the Marine Corps (long ago) we were playing tackle football...At the time I was wearing glasses..and still do. It was the last play of the game and we were up by more than a touchdown....again, time was already called. The guy running with the ball was headed to the end zone and only I was between him and it. I dove into his knees and tackled him. Five stiches to my eyebrow later I was still happy he didn't get in (we would have won either way though)......oh the days of being young.....sorry, I had to throw this story in somewhere....regards
