I've collected baseball cards off and on all my life but these are my first pre-war cards. If you add it up, I don't think I've spent as much time looking at a single card as I have since I got the Tinker. And it just showed up yesterday

Got this for a great price from Sterling. One of the harder common players to find

Finally was able to pick up a Fro Joy Ruth. Beckett Authentic due to trimming but I couldn't care less. I finally have a Ruth!

I'm liking the Red Suns at the moment.

I picked up my fourth T206 HOFer this month. It's just the way I like them, great looking front for the grade and a presentable back with imperfections that I am willing to overlook.

Right before the bell. Here are a few more of my October pickups, including my first Goudey (which happens to also be my first Ruth-era Yankee Hall of Famer!)

Picked up this E136-2 1912 Zeenut of John Tiedemann to add to my collection.
I have seen this handwriting on a bunch of PCL cards. Is this Buck Barkers notations? Patrick |

Hi Patrick,
This is not Buck Barker's handwriting. Mr. MaCrae has informed me before about the collector responsible for these notations, but I unfortunately do not remember. He would probably, like all things Zeenut and PCL related, have this information at the tip of his tongue. Brian |

Since my dad's retirement, he's opened up a booth at an antiques mall and is getting really interested in antiques and collectibles. I work for COMC.com and am always talking about cards, so I got him looking at prewar cards and now he's hooked on T206. He's bought a handful of them and I thought I'd grab the Tinker so we could start collecting together. I have a feeling I'm hooked, too. |
