How about one of the greatest pitchers in minor league history, the ol’ spitballer! Here’s a cool write-up on “Shelly” from one of Bob Lemke’s old blogs: http://boblemke.blogspot.com/2011/04...nback.html?m=0

A BIG Thank You to Brian W. for making these gentlemen available ......
![]() up39c.jpg As long as I'm here. T207s don't quite have the number of "backs" as T206. But enough to keep one honest ...... ![]() jsg13bk.jpg Fun, fun, Scott

Picked this 41 Play Ball Ted Williams up at a show this weekend via trade. Despite being poor with staple holes and staining from rust (yeah rust) I’m very pleased to add this to my personal collection.

It's a great card, the year Ted Hit .406, and the staple rust only adds character.

I was thrilled to pick up 6 T210s in 2022.
Started the new year by picking up 2 more T210s on January 1st and then another six a week or two later...7 new players and one duplicate this month. Thrilled by this group. Picked up another Joseph Laughlin T210 so I can display his T210s on both sides on his Old Mill Cabinet. Picked up a Tom Messitt T210 to balance my display with my only other T210 portrait card George Cowan. Picked up a Bert Fisher T210 from the Skydash Collection. In addition to these Series 2 T210s, I also picked up: Henry Cote & W.D. Smith (Portsmouth) and Walter Schmidt. Patrick Last edited by Vintagecatcher; 01-23-2023 at 09:13 PM. |

George Moriarty E254. Not a biggie but while noted as Detroit, he is likely shown in a 1907 NYAL uni. He went to Detroit in 1909 and from 1909-12 Detroit had no dark unis. Love this photo-based series.

Fantastic pickup Aaron. That must be a fairly recently slabbed Red Sun - Cobb white version silk. For the longest time there were only two total in SGC's pop report shown as graded.
Have to ask, if you don't mind, where did you find that? Again, super fantastic pickup that many don't realize how extremely rare that card is with the Red Sun backing still attached. It is super underappreciated, and even more so extremely undervalued IMO. And I would be extremely jealous, except I own the other one also graded 2. ![]() Again, super fantastic pickup! |

Hey Bob,
I’m not sure when it was graded but I acquired it in Hunt’s December auction and I am absolutely thrilled to have it! I collected white silks with backs many years ago… A little story about Red Suns. About 25 to 27 years ago I was set up as a dealer at the Chicago Sun Times show (was held in the Rosemont Convention Center now known as the Donald Steven’s Center where the National is when in Rosemont, IL). The Sun Times show was 3 or 4 times a year. At one of the shows a guy approached my booth and saw that I had a bunch of white S74s w/ backs and he told me he had a bunch of them and would I care to look. He said he had a storefront and sold mostly modern cards but this group of silks came with a large purchase of other stuff… I forget exactly how many he had but it was more than 20 and they were all Red Suns! And most of them weren’t folded! Including the nicest Cobb I ever saw, now in an SGC 7. This was before grading services ruled the roost so they were unslabbed. There were several HOFers in there! I bought the whole group for $1500. I kept them for a couple years in my collection then sold them in a Mastro auction. I always regretted selling the Cobb. |
