Awesome Tom!! Where did you find this at? I keep searching antique stores and garage sales for scrap and......well anything baseball with very little luck. Unless I want a box of 1988 Donruss, lol.

Now my earliest card (1882), and got two others, too. And as they say, "the most beautiful of the pre-war advertising cards."

Since this isn't the BST we can talk about stuff. It went for $956 after juice last night in the weekly Heritage auction. I was the under bidder. Cool card but hard to calculate value.

I wonder if Cobb-mania will extend to his rivals.

Nice Lajoie!!

I sure hope not. That Lajoie is a beauty. Congrats!

Indeed. I paid through the nose for that bad boy. Sorry Leon (kinda...not completely...maybe a little sorry ). I figured you may have been in on it at some point.

I wish it was an antique store find. All I ever see at antique stores and malls are junk wax, junk wax era cards, and 1960's-1980's programs and store model equipment.

I have never seen another T209 like it.

I stand corrected.

I have only seen one other like it.

Thrilled to cross this tough one off of my T207 want list.

My 2nd Red Cycle backed T207.

I was an underbidder (though not the underbidder ) too. Pretty crazy card. I'm not into scrap at all, but I thought it was really neat. I actually thought it went pretty cheap compared to other recent scrap T209-1 auctions. I wonder if not being slabbed contributed to that.

Greg, those Cossacks are awesome!

[mrvster]

great scrap!

The thrill of the hunt though right? But sometimes it does pay off! While I didn't find a scrap card I did find a T206 Drum back in an antique store. Before that the best I did was finding some good/vg 55 bowman commons for cheap! And yes.. several boxes of 1988 Donruss!

Great pick ups everyone!!
