Thank You, Carol:

From the recent Mile High Auction:

[joeadcock]

Val

I see another nice looking Johnson added to your collection

[ValKehl]

Joeadcock - Thanks for the kind comment! This is my first WaJo "fix" for 2011. I was the under-bidder on the M101-4 herpolsheimer WaJo in the recent REA Auction, but this one was more affordable.
Best, Val

I stopped taking auction write-ups seriously when this was described as a reversed negative.

[Bicem]

uh ok, well I'm sure the auction house got it right this time, can't think of many who would describe a Wagner signature as secretarial signed if there was ANY chance that it was legit.

Also... that postcard was on ebay for awhile and the seller is a big JSA/SGC user, yet that card never found it's way into a JSA/SGC holder.

Many years ago I saw the same card described as Wagner writing to a local kid who was picked up by a LOW level minor Lg. team. It's an odd one to be sure....

[Bicem]

yes, just b/c the signature is not Hans himself, does not mean that it's not still a very cool and tough pc.

[t206hound]

Just arrived from bagger's.

[tbob]

BINed this D311 on ebay last night:

[pete zouras]

[V117collector]

Picked up a NM hofer on ebay for almost nothing!

Brad:

Looks like an awesome pick-up.

[Vintagecatcher]

Just received this Graham Obak this morning.

Thanks again to Dan S.


Patrick

[Anthony S.]

1909 Obak set....finished!

Many thanks to Dan S. for contacting me about this last card. And when I enter my dotage, and am having a difficult time remembering what year this set was issued...bam, somebody wrote it right there on the front of the card. Win-win.

[wonkaticket]

Anthony that is great!!!!!!! Way to go great looking set.





Cheers,

John

[4815162342]

Congrats Anthony! You should make a thread showing your accomplishment.

[Tim Kindler]

Anthony.
Congratulations on completing your Obak set. I bet they look sweet all laid out. Even the backs on those 09s are awesome with the Old English look.
Nice Accomplishment

[rc4157]

Congratulations Anthony, it has to feel good!
Here is my latest pickup off the BST, thanks to Brian.

[Robextend]

Congrats Anthony, great accomplishment!!!

[tbob]

Busy last week picking up the balance of the Sweet Cap pins I needed:

[tbob]

and

[quinnsryche]

In today's mail

[scotty21690]

Grader was VERY generous on this one, as you can tell from the upper left corner being quite soft.

[teetwoohsix]

Thanks Ed W., slowly but surely.....
* My scanner sucks in general, but it scans the BVG slabs so bad I have to take a photo of those instead.

[tlwise12]

Just got these four in from eBay...

[Big Six]

Just got this beauty in...thanks for a smooth transaction JimiVintage!!!

[brianp-beme]

Anthony...way to hang in there to get that last card. I had a five year wait to get my final two 1909 Obaks, and Anthony had a hand in both of those pickups. Bravo!

Brian

[quinnsryche]

New today, 48 more to complete the HOF'er run!

[Bicem]

[Robextend]

[T206Collector]

[joeadcock]

Travis

Nice Cubans.

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Alan, John and Ben (for the W575-1s). The scanner is going through a bit of a Salvador Dali phase in its sizing:

[Leon]

Finally, a real blank back SL'er for the back set....not great condition but will do the job!!

[Orions father]

A few more for my 1920's Speaker collection.

[Anthony S.]

Congrats, Leon. I saw that Fritz blank back two minutes after he listed it, but had purchased so many cards recently that I hemmed and hawed for the next 10 minutes until it was gone. The price was definitely right.
