[T206Collector]

Just got these back from SGC/JSA this afternoon. A beautiful fountain-pen signed T206 Blackburne. This makes 37 different autographed T206 poses for my collection -- now just 13 short of my near-impossible goal of 50. This is also the only autographed Minor League T206 card I own -- Blackburne and Cravath may be the only ones possible. And it's the only signed Sovereign that I own as well.



This Marquard is a double for me, but I couldn't resist the gorgeous signature on this example, which may date to the 1930s.



Finally, the Livingston is also a double for me, but my other version was signed on the reverse. This one came from ebay last week.

Very Nice!

[jb217676]

Picked up this beauty from forum member sreader3. Thanks for the great card!

[Jaybird]

Congrats on the signed T206s. They are beauts.

Picked this up off the B/S/T. Love it. My mockup of Eddie Collins shoulder is in the picture next to it.

A kind of random pickup for me, just really thought it was a cool team set. Also amazed by the condition when they arrived they look perfect-

[greenmonster66]

I agree this set was just too nice to pass on for me!

[nolemmings]

nice die cuts guys--I picked up the White Sox sheet from the same seller.

Here's one of a handful of m101s I was luckey to obtain from a certain moderator dude:

[sox1903wschamp]

Not really a back collector but I make exceptions from time to time. Thanks to a fellow board member.

[margoaepi]

How can you not love this card?

Thanks Mike ! The piece is a 1 of 1 Helmar Brewing Art piece. I have bought some odd and end pieces from Helmar Brewing (Charles Mandel) since they started putting out their beautiful art cards a few years back and while it is not vintage, Charles & Team put a lot of work and craftmenship into every piece they make and this die cut cabinet was right up my alley since I collect Nashville/Tennessee Type material/Southern League stuff. The piece measures about 5x6 and has tremendous detail to both the front and back. Also, I like the fact that Charles will not make another like this, so it makes it a bit exclusive. Even though 99% of what I collect is vintage material, I like to stray as a collector... Helmar is creative and brings joy to my collecting.

[Mikehealer]

Thanks for the info Jeremy, vintage or not I like it too.

[lharri3600]

same here mike, jeremy those are neat!!

Larry, Nice pickup on the Ames buyback. I was going to grab it when my e-bay bucks came in... Congrats

[lharri3600]

Ralph, this one was purchased with you in mind

[rp12367]

Glad at least someone I know got it...

[DixieBaseball]

Larry - Mike - Joe,
Thanks for kind words. I find the piece amazing and thought it belonged on our vintage board due to it's relation to T206 poses of those 6 Tn players. By the way, Helmar Brewing just ran a few more similar auctions for the other Southern Leaguer's on Ebay. (Texas & Southern League Stars, Alabama Stars, etc.) The die cut cabinets were very similar to the one I have posted. There was also a Sally Die Cut with Joe on it that went for a strong price. Beautiful artwork... I have scans if anyone wants me to forward them (Or post them)
Thanks, JJ

[Brian Van Horn]

I still love flea markets. Thank You, Mick for the Manush and Hubbell and Thank You, Bob for the Ruffing, Myatt and Lisenbee:

[joeadcock]

First one of this type I have

Nice Plowboy!

Very nice pickup, Michael!! I would love to add a T204 to my PC, but they seem a tad pricey for me at the moment.


Jaybird - Very neat Patsy E92!!

[quinnsryche]

My Dad called me over to his house and gave me these 2 as a gift. Aren't cards the best gift? The Merkle is an ad back and the Griffith a checklist back. I'll get them graded when I have the cash to do so!

[lharri3600]

tony,
nice to pick those up from your dad!! it's been 23 years ago on 4/8 that i last spoke to my dad, boy do i miss him!!

This Hick Cady arrived in the mail this morning. It was graded Authentic by SGC which must have scared off a lot of buyers. I can't think of a better card for a lifetime Red Sox fan. The card softens the pain of the "lost weekend" in Texas for this year's Red Sox team.

A boardmember recently picked one up, and I then decided I should have this classic catcher pose card in my collection. Since there are only a handful of PCL cards left on my wantlist, and also only a few more cards on my type card list for the 7 major league catchers I collect, I have started adding a few beautiful examples of other major league players' cards such as the Bill Bergen E101 card as well as this Hick Cady card.

[Bicem]

Nice Cady, I happened to just pick up a Cady as well. Very rare Underwood postcard series...

[Vintagecatcher]

Jeff,

Congrats on picking up the Underwood & Underwood PC. It shows that the image on the Cracker Jack of Cady reflects what he truly looked like.


Patrick

[milkit1]

Love that plowboy. Is silly playing on a roof?!

[iwantitiwinit]

That Cady CrackerJack is sweet. Might even consider resubmitting it, worst case it comes back authentic again.

[deadballera]

last month I picked up the 1928 Hack Wilson...and now the 1926

[greenmonster66]

Keep posting the Sox cards it's making me feel little bit better!! :-) Only 159 games left!!

**** GO C'S AND B'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vintagecatcher, That is one nice CJ Cady. I would take that any day over a SGC 10/20/30. Nice pick-up

Patrick

You got a GREAT price on that one, Patrick! Nice pickup

[Mikehealer]

One of my favorite poses.

[t206hound]

@Mikehealer - That's a sweet Nap. At a PSA 2, I'm guessing there's some kind of adhesive (or the like) on the back that accounts for the grade. Regardless, a beautiful card.

[DanP]

From a board member (Lindstrom) and eBay (Tinker).

[calvindog]

[Bicem]

Sweet Cobb Jeff! (check your PM by the way)

[sox1903wschamp]

Jeff and vintagecather, nice Cady pickups.
Jeff: I waffled for a long time on that one in Mears. Nice pickup!

Scotty: Thanks for the admiration on the Ramly. I love this issue and getting close to the Sox subset. Here is another one that I just picked up that is just like vintagecather's Cady as It is graded PSA authentic.

Regards, Michael

Some of you may not remember post 16 on 1-1-11 in the topic "What would make your 2011"

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...384#post859384

but apparently Brian remembered it & let me know this was available. So a big thanks to Brian, you helped make my 2011 & I owe you one.

[Vintagecatcher]

Sniped this one on eBay a few minutes ago. My 2nd T5 Pinkerton Cabinet.

Patrick

[yanksfan09]

Mike outstanding looking Nap. Again, who gives a flying turd what numbers on the flip.
That card's a stunner...
