It's raining Orange Borders! I have picked up 5 in the last couple weeks and just missed a 6th by mere minutes.

Got my 17th different Dots Miller card from Sterling, more if you count different t206 backs. I'd really only like to get a couple more and one might be asking too much. I want to get a decent Tip Top and a Voskamp and then I'd be happy.

Looking at that Dockman Matty, PSA has only graded 6 higher out of 32. Quite a bit better than "mid grade". Plus it is a particularly nice 5. Cheers, Blair

Hi Jason - Nice N172 O'Brien card. But, you really should stick to T210s until you complete all 8 series before you embark on a N172 Washington team set ('cause I don't need any more competition)!!  In addition to HOFers Mack and O'Day, "Dummy" Hoy is in the Wash. N172 team set. And, there are a few 2-player cards, which are rather tough to find. Best, Val

Not exactly the most famous card but one of the coolest action shots ever. Coughlin, Dietsche PC. It's an SGC 80.

Thanks Jason and TBob. You know me, I love those black and white cards. The striking red borders of T210 might be a little too much color for me---oh well, I could always trim 'em off.

a few postcards and photos
The first is a 1908-09 Rose Co. postcard of Eddie Grant with rare overprinted advertising on the reverse. Eddie was a Harvard graduate, major league baseball player, lawyer, Army enlistee to fight in World War I, and a war hero killed in action. Look him up.
The second is not baseball, of course, but since I was posting the Grant I thought I'd include it since it's an interesting one. It's postmarked 1909. The last few are mystery photos of African American baseball coming from a photo album of 1930's+ era Atlanta material. Anyone recognize uniforms or place? For much more, navigate around http://www.sportingoregon.com/ .

 While I am certain that every other card in this thread is more valuable than my latest pickup, I just cannot believe how much I have fallen in love with this little piece of cardboard. This is the first ungraded T206 I've ever owned, and as I pulled it out of it's top loader and penny sleeve tonight, and held it in my hands, the history of this little common overwhelmed me. I started to think about the travels this card must have taken. The rounded corners, scrapes, stains and dimples on the front and back tell a story. Who first pulled it out of a pack of Piedmont tobacco back in 1909 or 1910? Who may have owned this card, and where? It's a feeling I haven't gotten from any of the graded cards I've added. They, too, are beautiful, but there is something to be said for being able to feel a card in your hand, and smell it. It's just an amazing feeling.
