I am having enough trouble finding beaters in my price range in the T210's that I have not attempted any of the T211 cards.

Ben, I thought we were a group of collectors who shared a love for cards. Isn't this the place to share recent acquisitions regardless of price? I view it as a place that I can share my excitement with the only people on earth who would understand. To call it "showing off" is disrespectful and Presumptuous. I personally don't need to "show off" a damn thing. And since I didn't print the card, am not related to Ty Cobb, and did not cure Polio, I am not sure what there would be to show off about. I am sharing my excitement with the only people who will appreciate it since my wife, kids, and friends don't. I have always liked your posts, and you seem like a decent guy, but that is out of line.

Guys,

You both are really good guys on here. I don't think Ben was aiming at you, Orly, or your beautiful Cobbs. It was just a response to me. I think we have enough strife on other threads, and I was not trying to make any kind of statement one way or the other. I really was just curious if anyone read anything I write, because I rarely get any kind of response. Both of you are top notch guys that appreciate the cards, price be darned. I value the contributions of both you guys. Sorry if my comment got things off track here, and I hope we can all be friendly with our discourses. Let's all have a fun day, I hope?

Ed

I was just stating a fact that high priced and high graded cards get all the replies. The lower end stuff is just as nice to see but rarely get any replies. This has been brought up many times before. It was not meant to be derogatory against anybody.

3 new T206 Evers, Chicago Shirt, to add to my back run effort, which already includes a Red Hindu and Broad Leaf 350 (sorry for teh busted pic). Please email or text me if you have any Evers or Tinker (bat offs) for sale or trade.

Nice Evers' Ryan!

And that O'Hara is awesome Ed!

When I post here I like to post my best as well, but tend not to get much response. Here is a recent pick-up...do you think it is more valuable because it measures tall and has a wide white gap in the middle?

Awesome Dahlen!!!!

I picked this up in Feb., but just getting around to posting it now. Not sure what happened to it - some type of art deco creation. It looks like someone painted a blue rectangle around the back of Moses, then used white paint to outline him. Finally, they used a red pen to make Xs all around his silhouette. Also, they glued his name on a piece of paper that is partially covered. In hand, it's actually pretty cool to look at! Any info on what/why this is what it is would be appreciated!

Rhotchkiss · #9 03-08-2017, 03:32 PM

Thanks Luke. And now I just gave you leverage to keep up the hard ball on that Evers AB!!

Tony,

Not sure what that Yellowhorse picture is but, on the back it mentions something about the Plain Dealer Library from 1965. The Plain Dealer is the main daily newspaper still operating in Cleveland, Ohio, Possibly came from them and something they did? Not sure but, maybe a place to check with.

Depends....did you pay half price for it?

scotty21690 · #12 03-08-2017, 05:01 PM

....but it's a good one.

Good news is that it shipped really fast, bad news is that I missed out on $22 eBay bucks because I paid too quickly.

Any other members here win any of these?

Let's just say the price of this card was drastically cut.

Nice Morehouse by the way. I was thinking on bidding on one of them for the type collection, but have decided to concentrate all my future efforts on picking up E98 cards ripped in half.

Haha, Leon, 'tis but a scratch!

Ed -- Great cards, thanks for sharing! I, for one, often don't know when to chime in to say "great card!" although I think it often when looking through the pickups thread. I guess I don't want to point out one card and leave others thinking that their cards weren't appreciated as well! So I end up saying nothing...

Anyways, I received this in the mail today...I love this pose with the sunset background.

Cheers,
Steve

Seems like you are starting with the tough ones and working backwards! Great subject for a back run. I only have the Piedmont, but I bought it from Dr. Frank, so I like it a lot.
