Thanks, Leon!

My first W517 "mini" just arrived.

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Mark:

OT, but thank You, Glenn:

[T206BrownHindu]

Paper loss (and out of focus), but still a tough back:

[donmuth]

The first is a T206 Donlin Batting with Old Mill back that I bought from Dave George on the Net54 B/S/T.

The second is a T206 Burch batting that I picked up off eBay for a mere $28. Anyone guess what kind of grade this would get if it went to SGC? SGC 30 maybe?

Troublemaker Alert!

[Howe’s Hunter]

... oh, wait, Dunn doesn't have a horizon. Never mind.

[quinnsryche]

Just got these in. The Snodgrass is really orange and really cool. The scan doesn't do it justice.

[frohme]

These didn't come in until recently - just glad they made it.

[sox1903wschamp]

Wow Mike, that is one nicely centered Carrigan. Nice pickup!

Thank you Bob O'Brien courtesy B/S/T!

[pete zouras]

Upgrade on the Grove. Bought the George C. Miller on a whim.

[calvindog]

I'm not sure why this card graded a 1. It has a 6-7 front and a couple of small spots of paper loss on the back. I've got a green E98 Chase graded a 4 with the same great front and the same amount of paper loss on the back. Of course, it cost 3x more because of the grade. Meanwhile, when I was at the White Plains show this weekend one of the great guy dealers had a Ramly Donlin in PSA 4 with paper loss on the front of the card, just under Donlin's face -- and it was a considerable amount, not tiny dots -- and it was graded PSA 4.

[Epps]

Nice pickup on the Chase. The guy had a bunch of E98's in low grades but they all looked pretty nice.

[Abravefan11]

Another non Brave tobacco type card.

[Kawika]

That's a beautiful card, Tim. A hundred years old! I was going to take a shot at it because I thought it was the same guy as the Spartanburg Martin in the T209 Colors. A little sleuthing around at the SABR minor league data base proved me wrong although there is some resemblance. Relatives, maybe? Here is the skinny on your guy, pitcher Herbert Martin of the Greensboro Champs:

(Why he has a "W" on his cap I have not been able to figure out).

Edited to add: Righteous Billiken, Steve. Watch out, they're habit forming.

[mannybb24]

Another nice Billiken from Matt G.

[mybuddyinc]

David / Tim,
Agree, the B/W Martin is Herbert as referenced in your link.
The Color Martin is most likely "P." Martin:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...d=martin002p--
1907-1909, SS, Spartanburg
1910, SS, Columbia, SAL, and has a T210-1 card.





I gotta get one of those Billiken's....... but I need one with the picked fence in backround !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deadballera]

added another T210

[DixieBaseball]

I have been looking for this one for 7 years. My number was finally called and this T211 Red Sun ends a long dry run I have been on with T211 Nashville Types. Glad to add Bill to the team ! (Also, Thanks to the kind gentlemen who helped me!) The search continues...

Neat-o Billikens poster. ¿Es muy bonito, no?

[Kawika]

Bloody *&@#ing beautiful, Joe!

[Anthony S.]

Walt McCredie really knew how to wear a baseball cap. Always looks like he's about to slug the photographer. Was wondering who won that postcard. Awesome.

[iggyman]

Ese Billiken cartel esta "bloody" increíble!!!

Día Encantador...

[Kawika]

Y un día encantador a usted, también.

[baseballart]

Kawik-wow-a!

I'm in Cuba next week. Think I'll find anything Billiken? Very nice stuff, as usual

Todays Pick-ups at the Houston Tri-Star show

From SGC
Thanks to Frank Ward

[kmac32]

Just got my 1921 E121 series of 80 Hugh Jennings graded as SGC 60 ex. What an awesome surprise !

[smtjoy]

Great Pickups Jerry, I made it by the show today and was surprised by the amount of vintage that was there. The last two years I have left empty handed but today i found a nice mix, got these and a bunch of 1960's stuff.

[bcbgcbrcb]

That's an awesome Babe Ruth RPPC!

Is it postmarked on the back?

[TheBig6]

Scott, Glad you found some stuff, I bought a few of my cards from Bill Goodwin it was nice visiting with him and he was very fair with me.

[wolterse]

This will go well with the T227 Bender I won in the last Goodwin auction...

[joeadcock]

No, postcard not used.

This blue one has eluded me for a long time, glad to see Bruce list it on ebay. That wraps up the 6 color variations of Bates in the e94 set for me.

[SethY]

If anyone wants the Seigle it is for trade! PM me or seth.yarkony@gmail.com.

Thanks for looking guys.

EDIT: Sorry about the title error. Obviously, it is an E92 Dockman & Sons Seigle and a W516-1-2 Schalk.

[Robextend]

For my 34 set...

[yanksfan09]

Hal Chase T3. Just got it back from SGC today. A little upset it didn't grade. I said "A" was okay so they didn't state a reason. I knew it was maybe a milimeter or so shorter than the other 3 T3's I have. But, It doesn't appear trimmed though. Maybe a short factory cut? looks VG-Ex+ . I don't know. It's a great looking card either way though and one of my new favorites....

[Matt]

I don't understand sometimes why people trimmed cards that had a pretty strong grade anyway - it looks like the top right corner of that Chase is a little "too "sharp, but that had to have been VG-EX, no matter what the missing sliver looked like. I have a trimmed CJ Cobb with basically the same thing - would have been VG-EX and someone decided to remove a sliver to sneak it by as an EX+.

Nice looking T3!

[yanksfan09]

Thanks Matt

Hope you like them. I want to give a big thanks to Bob H., Scott B., and Mike H. for the great and smooth transactions and hope many more are to come.

more. Trust me the fronts are worse than the backs on the Downey and Murray
