Nice Joss, Turner!

[tbob]

Wow, Andrew, nice pickup. I've never seen a T205 Hoblitzell Drum before.

[Kzoo]

I haven't looked too hard at exhibit cards until I picked these up last week from a local card shop. Not in the best condition, but I like the rarity.........Matt

Turner Nice snag on the Joss and the photo

[margoaepi]

Turner, that is an awesome piece. Here is my first SLer. I think its in pretty good shape. Any thoughts on what it may grade out at?

[Kawika]

A slow month otherwise but my thanks to my pal Jim Rivera for this super pick-up, a handsome Uzit backed T206 Steinfeldt.

Nice S/L T206.....if the back is as nice as the front, I'd guess V/G-E/X 4.......

Turner-beautiful Pirates piece !!

David- Congrats on that Uzit ,, it is in excellent shape !!! What a beauty.

Sincerely, Clayton

A couple more hall of famers.

[Mikehealer]

That is a nice Uzit, Mr. Kawika.

[novakjr]

It's not really a card, but for some reason I find it more relevant here than in the memorabilia forum.

[peterb69]

Nice going Andrew (PUP6913). All I need is any Drum back and the Hoblitzell no stats to complete my set. You almost picked up both at the same time.

[tlwise12]

Recently, I've been able to pick up many different Zeenuts that I needed including 1913, 1916, 1917, 1919, 1921, 1922, 1931, 1932, 1933 Sepia, and a 1937-38. However, I was really hoping to find a "Chief" Johnson (1916, 1917, or 1918) and I got LUCKY!!! I don't know if it is even rare, but I really am interested in this guys story! Plus, I got lucky that this Satchel Paige premium popped up...Thanks to a few board members!!!

Love the pose on this card!

[tbob]

Thanks for the T210s Jeremy.

[quinnsryche]

Cards are not pre-war but the players are. Completes my DiMaggio trio of autos!

[yanksfan09]

Not quite a card, but Grover's earliest issue...

Nice - I have his M101-2 as well, and it's one of my favorites.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Very nice GCA, Erick!

[Bridwell]

Great cards, guys! I love to see those Chief Meyers cards, Mike. Also that cool T205 Drum of Hoblitzel and T206 Uzit back Steinfeldt. I finally got around to posting something. Found these 3 from 3 different sellers:

Picked up this RPPC of an early catcher on eBay:

[yanksfan09]

Thanks Mike and Gary! It just came in the mail today, I'm very happy with it. Great image!

[teetwoohsix]

Many thanks to Edwolf1963 for these 2 off of the B/S/T,and I am always happy to get another 150 series out of the way.

[jb217676]

Many thanks to Tony Andrea for the great cards!

[smokeyjoewood]

Nice stack of T210's and an M116 Cicotte ...

[mintacular]

Thanks for the trade Marc...

[tbob]

Thanks to 36triples for dealing with me on these P2 LLs. The last time I put the P2 pin set together the only one missing was Titus LL so it was nice to see it for sale.

[tbob]

More P2s.

Number 170 in the rebuilt collection.




Was originally listed Monday on eBay as part of a 129 card lot. Within the first ten minutes of the listing, I contacted the seller to ask if he would be willing to pull this one and sell individually. Gave him the address for this site and told him to see what I was trying to do. Within 20 minutes, he e-mailed back to let me know in a minute or two, he was listing it as a BIN. It arrived today.

[Mikehealer]

Nice going Ed. 200 is in sight, that would be quite a milestone.

Way to think outside of the box, Ed. Congrats on the pick up. I will have to use that strategy on my next type card I want to buy .

[T206.org]

Way cool, Ed!

Haha @ Leon

[B O'Brien]

Ed,
You are on an amazing run, keep it up. As always, eyes peeled!
Hope all is well,
Bob

One more Murphy added to the run!

[dstraate]

Patiently waiting for these bad boys. They represent my first backs that aren't sweet caporal, and numbers 3-8 of my monster collection. I'm practically there.

[Big Six]

Just picked this up from Dustin Hedlin in the B/S/T....it's a Piedmont back...

Very smooth transaction...thanks Dustin.

[greenmonster66]

My few and few more

[dabigyankeeman]

Sold some cards and used the money to buy these, two cards i have wanted for a long time, and two cards that I feel look better than their grade:

[rhettyeakley]

A few recent pickups...

[jb217676]

The Kelley is from forum member mybuddyinc. Thanks Scott!

[AK11]

Another vintage pickup to go next to my Lajoie T206. This was on my wantlist for the last 6 months on ebay and finally found a nice one at the Tri Star Show today. Great contrast in the photo and a nice mostly clean back too. It was in a PSA 2 holder, but it possible could get a .5 bump. I plan on sending to BGS because I prefer their holders for my collection and the PSA holder it was in had a price tag on the back of the holder that would have been very difficult to remove anyways. Here's my new Old Judge for my pc:



He is not a HOFer, but definitely better than a common and a great player in the time period, just not good enough for the hall (barely).

[Jason Carota]

[old-baseball]

Just picked these up in a trade (Thanks Dave!)

[tbob]

Ebay upgrade for set.

[Howe’s Hunter]

And by finally, I don't mean the mail service was slow or anything. Jeff let me know back in May, 2008 that he had this card, and was willing to trade for a comparable card. Nearly three years later, it joins the collection. #171.

And no, Jeff wasn't difficult or anything. It just took me that long to find one and get back in contact with him. Jeff was great to work with. Thanks, Jeff.
