T206 Gabby Street backrun

[Sean]

Hi guys. I've been working on this Street back run for about a year, and I want to show my progress thus far. I'm still missing the Red Hindu, Lenox and Piedmont 42 backs (I just missed out on a Pied 42 in the last REA auction, but someone with deep pockets really wanted that one ).

I am posting these scans as best I can. Sorry for the format, but I can't produce those nifty grids like Chris, Jaime and Wonka.


I know, I plan to crossover the Broadleaf 460 to SGC, I just haven't gotten around to it.

Thanks to Mike Sarno for the Drum.

Mike R. please post your back run in this thread when you return from vacation.

If anyone owns a Red Hindu, Lenox or Piedmont 42 and wishes to sell and /or trade, please contact me. I can offer you a similar back in trade if you require one for your own back run.

Cool stuff!!

[Luke]

Wow!

[cincyredlegs]

Nice job Sean. I am actually contemplating doing a back run as well with Dick Egan.

nice sean...i have grown to love runs...they epitomize what got me into the hobby in the first place...TYPE collecting!

[Sean]

Thanks Pete. I plan to be in St. Paul next July (2015). Maybe we can get together and compare runs. Bring your Millers.

Sean,
great run of Gabby's! I worked on the Gabby Portrait and Catching back run a few years back and stopped at the Drum... (Never got the broad leaf or red hindu among a few others...)
Congrats, J

[DerekMichael]

Wow, that is glorious Mr. Costello.

The Big Train's catcher!

[ZachS]

Awesome back run. I wanted to help you out a little so I put this together. No offense, but your scans weren't the greatest to work with.

[Sean]

Zach, thank you so much...and no offense taken.

Jeremy, did you ever get the Lenox...and do you still have it?

And also, did I get your name right?

That's okay Johnny, some day I'll find my own Street Y/B scrap.

About a year??? Looks like 10+ years worth of progress to me. Very nice.

[Tobacco&Gum]

Congrats on the Cycle 460. First time I'm viewing this thread....great run!!

[Sean]

Vincent and David, thank you so much. I actually got the BL 460 about nine years ago, and when I got the Drum last June I decided to try for the entire run.

[Sean]

Hi Zach. Once again, thank you very much.

[teetwoohsix]

Wow! That is an insane back run Sean-congrats! Very impressive for sure-mind blowing! I wish you the best in getting those last three you are looking for, but even without those you have an amazing collection there. Thanks for sharing your progress-

Sincerely, Clayton

[atx840]

Congrats on the C460.

Would love to see more runs

[Sean]

Thanks Chris...and yes, lets see some more runs.

[slipk1068]

I need to add a couple more cards before my back run would be worthy of posting.

David, tell us which card you're running. Maybe one of us can help you out.

[Blunder19]

I havent posted this in a while.. heres my Cobb Run

[Leon]

I will save a small run for another thread, Congrats Sean. Very cool....

[atx840]

Amazing accomplishment Jamie.

[Blunder19]

thanks Chris.. those cobbs are a little too strong.. I may need a chaser to go along with them... can you help me with that?

do you have any CHASErs?

[atx840]

I'd love to Seymour of these runs.

[wonkaticket]

Amazing stuff guys!

[freakhappy]

Sean, congrats on your progress so far. Did you ever finish your Merkle run?

Never get tired of seeing Jamie and Chris's back runs...sweet indeed!

[Sean]

Leon, Wonka and Jaime, thanks, and thank you for posting your runs Chris and Jaime.
By the way Jaime, I didn't realize that you got a blank back. Nice going.

Thanks Mike.
No, I never finished Merkle. I'm missing a Red Cross Type-1.
And I recently found out that there is a Coupon Type-3, Factory 8 overprint Merkle as well, so now I'm missing two Merkles.

[HoggZilla]

This is really cool stuff! I love the runs - well, these kind anyway. Zach, great job putting them together for display.

I would post it every single day lest people forget how awesome it truly is...

[peterb69]

Back run threads are always my favorites.

[Harford20]

My Lajoie Throwing Run (although not as extensive as most of the others shown) is to my knowledge complete. Just recently purchased the Brown Hindu from a boardmember. (Thanks again).

Still waiting to see if someone finds a Sovereign 350 Lajoie Throwing some day.

Oops, in looking at the run, I realize I left out the SC 150/30 card, but have that as well. Dave

[Sean]

Dave, thanks for posting. Even if your run isn't quite as extensive, it's still fun to look at it. Good job.

[Sean]

I'm bumping my old thread because I got a few new cards (scans to follow shortly) and also to ask if anyone has a Lenox / Street Catching which they would be willing to trade or sell?

I also need a Hindu Red, Piedmont 42, and Red Cross, but I'm not holding my breath on those.

[atx840]

Great run Sean.

OMG!

two big runs!

[kamikidEFFL]

Impressive. I myself though about doing a run in the past but decided against it. Maybe down the line there may be one in my future.

Okay, here it is (with some help from Zach). I've added a brown/yellow scrap, thanks to Chris, and a slight ghost image (color shift) with a heads-up from Michael R. .

Still looking for that Lenox...

[atx840]

Wow, Drum & BL460. Impressive Sean. You'll get that Lenox.

[CardboardCollector]

Unbelievable runs, guys. Thanks for sharing.

Another reason why I love this forum.
