It was a good day for deals..

Congrats on that McGinnity.

John - I concur... T210's are one of the most inconsistently graded cards by PSA and SGC. They just don't know how to deal with the red border chipping.... I have seen cards like John's get a 5, 4, 3, and 2. All over the board. When a superb one comes along with maybe a spec of red missing, they tend to undergrade those as well even if all 4 corners are sharp. Bottom line - too many grader's with different opinions. I put no stock in the number from grading companies. I am not even disappointed with it either... It's just an expectation. I look at the slabs as protection and a nice way to display, but that is it. (Prefer em raw)

BTW - Nice Martin !

Nice pickup, Brian! The Morehouse backs are my favorite. The old Morehouse Building is about 20 minutes from my house (image courtesy of showcase.com):

[Brian Van Horn]

Jason,

Wow! I love old buildings. Part of it comes from growing up in a suburb of Pittsburgh. There are a lot of old beautiful houses and buildings in and around the 'burgh.

[t206hound]

Added the following eight including a new SL and three Cubbies

Thanks for the Collins, John. I thought I had completed the Columbia guys in the T210 and overlooked Mr. Collins somehow
NOW they are complete

Wow Mike,

That is one nice Piedmont Stamp, while all of the pickups in the thread are nice, this one really jumps out.

[dog*dirt]

I told myself in January " this year I will not by any T206's". Well I have failed miserably.

I agree! I've never paid much attention to the stamp issues, but after seeing that Evers, I want one.

[Mikehealer]

Thanks Scott and Jason, I'm really happy with it.

That Johnson is a beaut. And nice haul of Southern Leaguers... another one is on the way as of this morning.

[jp1216]

^^^ And many thanks to Erick for either his deals or pointing me in the direction of about 6 of my last 12 cards.

Always loved the Ames portrait with that interesting background color. Nice Parent as well.

Tony, I think you need to update the sharp corners thread with those beauties!

Those look amazing, Tony. Congrats!


The competition for T210-6 has been tough. Glad to land my second team from Series 6:
