There is a very light crease from the top center down to his hair.

Always liked this card. You cant go wrong with HOF caramel cards.

Tom, I'm really digging the Grimshaw BL350 - nice card, amigo!

[autograf]

Thanks Trae.....I'm going to get both BL's graded and one will likely be sold.......

[bobbvc]

Showed this card in another thread, but it's also a May pick-up. I like the pose.

Thanks Matt W.

Just got this gorgeous Tannehill / Lord T202 today. I thought I would start collecting the set, and had to start somewhere...

[tbob]

Still need Boston Nationals and Cleveland American

[Tcards-Please]

Was finally able to acquire the Wilhelm "suffered" and the T202 was an unexpected pickup

[Robextend]

Cross another Tolstoi off the list, and another E91!

Actively collecting again after some time away...a couple of my first new pickups. Pretty excited about Matty, even with a little tape:

[Orions father]

but some nice backs I didn't have.

Managed to use the "Best Offer" on an E106 Evers last week and this E106 Jennings this week.

[T206Collector]

This one took me about 3 years of coming up with good enough trade material! I big thank you to you know who you are....

[M's_Fan]

T206collector, you have quite an impressive collection of signed T206s! I've always loved this card.

[4815162342]

That's gorgeous! Congrats!

[Robextend]

Thanks so much Andy G.!!

[FUBAR]

the Lake card looks like someone is robbing him... Hands up or I'll shoot!

Rob,
Is the "S" on that Snodgrass written in by hand? I picked up the "Nodgrass" variation too in a T206 lot where the "S" was written in in the period.

Thanks, guys! This was a really satisfying addition. But I don't think I'll feel "complete" without a Cobb....

Hey Jim,

At first glance it looks like it could be written in, but under close scrutiny I am almost certain the "S" was not written in.

Any leads? Do you know if one even exists?

[Lordstan]

T206 collector,
That is a beautiful card. I'm sure you had to give up quite a lot for it.
Congratulations are definitely in order.

My last pick-up for the month of May:

Leads, no. But I know of a few that exist. Not surprisingly the owners want nothing to do with getting rid of them any time soon!

But I'll make it worth their while!

[Woundedduck]

Back is pretty rough and it's got the hole in the top of the card, but that's probably the only reason I could afford it . The color and front of the card is gorgeous in my opinion. I'll probably send it off to SGC just to have it in the holder. I know almost nothing about vintage grading, but I'd bet the best I could hope for is a 10, but it'll probably be an A.....or is it possible it wouldn't grade?

I'm normally not as big a fan of most of the T206 portraits, but I loved this one. I'm hoping to pick up a Hal Chase pink backround portrait as well as it's one of the few other portraits I like.

[rholmes]

Walsh is my favorite t206 portrait as well. Your front actually is pretty nice. The hole just gives it flavor...looks like someone took a shot at him...and missed! Not to mention I like the idea of some kid pinning Ed Walsh to his wall way back when. You are now a keeper of that legacy.

[ChiefBenderForever]

From the forgotten set !!! Open Mouth from ebay and other two from Tony A!

[Iwantmorecards77]

My latest addition: I feel it is an O'Kay pick-up!

[lharri3600]

mike,
you always get the tough ones
