Cycle that looks like it was run over by more than a cycle.

[Enfuego]

Great start in August, keep'em coming!

[midmo]

I got a pretty good variety of stuff from the National. Knocked a few things off my list, upgraded a few, and picked up some random impulse items. I was especially happy to get the Oxford Confectionery Grimes because I almost missed it hiding under another card...

So, it was you! Great pick ups. I kept getting skunked on all those, from the series 3s to the 8s. There were a bunch of great cards. Nice!

Why is there no a shirt that has a picture of a T206 Shag and Bock on it that says. "Always looking for a good Shag or a cheap Hooker" ?

Thanks so much Jason for this upgrade!!

......and thanks AJ for all the assistance!

I'd been planning to wait until my T205 set was closer to completion to pick up a Cobb, but couldn't help but pounce on this one:

Love the variety and layout

That would make a nice poster!

[Joshchisox08]

First Ever card with a Stamp......... Anyone know if this was from a specific collector or just another random stamp ???

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up this blazer Lucia T210 from David Bryan on eBay which arrived today.

I have upgraded this card twice. Tough to improve on this one!

Josh, great pick up with the stamp...love it! Can't identify if it has any provenance tho

Patrick, great looking red border! I've bought a lot from David Bryan in the past...he is a top notch dude in this great hobby of ours.

Happy to have picked up this tough pose for a great price

Ok, I know it is just a common, but it is my first T206 that I actually have in hand. I am excited and just had to share! I have purchased 4 others from fellow board members (all Polar Bears) that should be here in the next day or two. Don't worry I won't subject you to several more posts of individual commons...I will wait until I get the other 4 together. Five down and only 245 to go to make the Polar Bear run happen.

[Luke]

Nice Dots Robert!

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

Thanks, Luke!

[RCMcKenzie]

Nice cards this month, y'all.
I found an auction house that was selling some baseball cards tonight...I managed to get this one...

Henry Johnsons and W514s from Leon/Heritage, D304 from Bob Lemke. This is the exact card that was photographed for the D304 entry in the Standard Catalog, which I think is pretty cool.

[cracker_jack]

Thanks Leon. Also, that E104-1 Collins is awesome!

[gregr2]

Picked this up from MattyC!! What a great card!

Thanks to Luke Lyon and Scott Gross, I am on my way with Polar Bear backs. I now have a whopping 5. My first one was graded. After receiving these, I am not so sure that I don't love them more ungraded and natural. I'm sure I will have graded and ungraded as I go but there's just something about them outside of the slab...

Beautiful! Congrats!

[TheKid41]

I picked up this Exhibit from Leon's auction yesterday. Thank you Leon!

I love this card. It features a young Dimaggio at the start of his career and Gehrig wrapping his up. Kind of a Yankee Passing of the Torch card. I'm not sure if they share any other cards during both of their playing years. Anyone know of any others?

[clydepepper]

I was able to pick up this magnificent trio from Leon's Type Card Auction:

The 1904 WG2 Fan Craze Eddie Plank is my second different Plank card;


The 1923 WG7 Walter Mails Game - Walter Johnson is my second 'Double-Walter' from this set (the other being Mr. Mails himself);


The 1904 Allegheny Card Co. - Joe McGinnty is my sixth Allegheny and my first Hall-of-Famer from this one-of-one set.

Thanks again - Leon

Nice Walter.

[freakhappy]

Go ahead...anyone...try to follow Brad up, I dare you! Beautiful pickups, Brad...just sick!!!

Robert...nice Polar Bears! My second T206 was Dots Miller. For some reason, Dots loves to break the ice in beginner's collections Good luck moving forward!

[Laxcat]

Love the Texas Leaguers. Couldn't find these in Texas when I was a kid. Thanks EBay(and Frank)

[pencil1974]

[gregr2]

Nice Bescher Rob !!!! I almost popped on that one. Polar Bears are the best !!! And a double name too boot ! Still don't have a double named card.
