This is a milestone for me, as this is my first submission to SGC. These were purchased raw off the B/S/T and the sellers did an awesome job of pricing them according to condition. Do you guys recognize your former cards?

[Spike]

A nice couple of EE-YAHs from today's National.

Hey Jody,

I do indeed recognize that T206 Ritter and remember discussing your state's Governor, who was having a very interesting week (I believe he'd just returned home from a 4000 mile hike to the less frequented Pampas section of the Appalachian Trail) when I sold you that card. Glad it graded out to your satisfaction.

[J.McMurry]

Hey Anthony,
Yes I'm very happy with the grades on both cards, I was hoping that the corners on the Ritter might get me a 3, but I understand the stains and creases were probably too much to overcome. I am impressed with your and Matt's "grading eye", as it seems to be dead on.

[frohme]

As described in the "Collecting Spirit" thread - many, many thanks to two board members for two of the last three T207's I need...

Rob D - I owe you



and Bill T - thank you again!

[mybuddyinc]

Big thanks to Jermey !!
Less than 2 weeks ago, I didn't even know this "Savannah" card existed, now I own it

Fun, fun, Scott

[frohme]

That's sweet, Scott!

I didn't either, and will have to add another Pirate variant to my list

Jody - glad your grading experience was positive. After getting surprised on my first SGC submissions I've honed my understanding of their grading scaled and have rarely been surprised the last few years.

Not sure if it is you who collects the Howie stamped back cards but one member does and may be interested in your T206 young

Quan,

Ed McCollum is the "Howe McCormick" collector. I haven't seen him on the board for a couple of weeks, but I sent him an email.

His board name is StuckinOmaha. His email is: edmccollum@cox.net

[tedzan]

At Cooperstown, I talked with Yogi Berra, Jim Bunning and Roger Clemens. Clemens and his family were dining at
the same restaurant as we were. Roger was a real friendly guy and we got several photo shots of him with us.

Here are some of the more notable cards I bought or traded for in Cooperstown.........

Including this T206 Johnson with a PIEDMONT 460 Factory 42 back....it is only the 2nd one that I know of.






Two tough Batter-Up Hi #s





I didn't pick-up any cards in Cleveland....but, sold a lot of cards (mainly T206's)....to many Net54er's.
Thanks guys for a great National.

The vintage signature on the Davis is great! Congrats!

[milkit1]

Thanks!
Davis has eluded me for a long time. I just need Luke Sewell standing and Ill have every players signed in the 1933 goudey set that died after Dizzy Dean.

[Mikehealer]

Picked these up from a board member. Very happy with the purchase.

[Touch'EmAll]

how many of these out there?

[slidekellyslide]

A Special thanks to Rob Lifson! Two previously unknown (to me) Nebraska Indians cabinet photos added to my collection.

[Anthony S.]

Thanks to Bob Lemke and Patrick McMenemy. Starting to see the finish down the road in Obakville.

[T206Collector]

I cannot get enough of these signed T206 cards.

From Autographed T206

[Rob D.]

I'm not an autograph guy by any means, but I made an exception in this case. Many thanks to Toby for the heads-up.

[4815162342]

Another one down; way too many left to go.

[rc4157]

Rob - I'm not that big of an autograph collector either but that is a sweet Lajoie you picked up.

RC

[zork1974]

Love the Lajoie.

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Brian for the E126 and Thank You, Kyle for 1923 Shoulderless cards:

[rc4157]

Brian - I really like that Sisler, congratulations.
This Double Play with Vander Meer is a nice addition to my Reds collection.

Finally got my first high grade T205 over a 6. Cost a mint but worth it. Now off to SGC in a month when I go up there and you all will get to see it again as a SGC graded card and in my registry.

[carrigansghost]

I finally had some mail shipped to Arizona. I'm getting closer to all of the types. Thanks to all who have helped.

Thank You Mr Steele.

Andrew, that's a beautiful T205 Johnson. But if it cost you a mint you paid way too much. It should have cost you only a near mint to mint.

[carrigansghost]

It works for me and a very cool Carrigan Pic.
