thanks, Phil...I also picked up a '78 Laughlin Leon Day. Sure it's not a rookie, but, I really don't think I'll ever be able to afford any of the older Day stuff, and honestly up until now, the '78 Laughlin's have been somewhat elusive for me(at least at a decent price)...

Laughlin cards are great. One of the first cards I ever collected other than Topps(in late 1970's). They used to sell them at a place called the TOBACCO SHOP in South Miami. It was great, the smell of pipe tobacco in the air as I rummaged around through the boxes of cards.

[tbob]

Good prices on all of these. The Becker blank back was a welcome addition to my T207 set.

Yeah, they're generic as hell, and there's no reason at all that I should love 'em....But I do... I've got a good number of the '74's, but the '78 rarely seem to come up cheap...Finally, happy to have a '78..Someday, once I'm finished with the HOF collection, I may end up putting both Laughlin sets together..

[tbob]

Thanks Tony A. for putting these cards on ebay and helping me get closer on this impossible huge set.

[Dustanh1]

That Pfeister is gorgeous. I've gotta get back into T206's soon.

[Jason Carota]

Nice haul, tbob! T210 is one of my favorite sets. How far along are you?

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Peter for the investment banker and Thank You, Mark for the restauranteur (kind of makes me think of "Midnight Run," but different professions):

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Bob- Next time I pass through for lunch I want to see the T210s as well as the Obaks! Wow

Thanks so much! I am also a huge fan of the McCormick collection....

[Northviewcats]

I bought these with the intention of flipping them, but when examined under the light the silk glimmers and the image of the player seems to come alive. I may have another collecting focus...

Best regards,

Joe

Hi Jason, thanks for the nice comments I am about 75% done with completing the set. Still aways to go but getting some super deals on 8th series cards sure helped. I saw these at the National going for 3x what I paid for them in this grade. Meanwhile 6th and 7th series cards continue to draw strong bidding interest and high prices.
Hi Mike! Let me know when you are coming through again, I thoroughly enjoyed lunch and talking cards.

An upgrade to my current one.....this made the top 3 of the hotly debated logo on the Net54baseball T-Shirts. But in the end it was Ty that made it. A classic pose of Cy nonetheless..

[djrhanover]

E103 Mordecai Brown from Mike Healer
1920 Tip Top Bread Forbes Field from Andrew Jerome
N300 Ward from Mark Tylicki (rustywilly)
T206 Young from Joe's Vintage Sportscards

Thanks to all!

[ephus]

Looks like August is turning out to be a nice month for pick ups.
Enjoyed looking through the thread. Espeially enjoyed dixon1208's e101 Matty, jp1216's Ray Chapman, and tbob's t210 group.

I've been looking to upgrade my authentic Rousch RC for many years. Finally!

[bcbgcbrcb]

WOW, Dan, that's quite an upgrade!

Great pickup. Will the Authentic one be for sale?

Thanks, I already sold my authentic card.

Awesome pickups! you got a great deal on the cobbs. http://cgi.ebay.com/TY-COBB-1910-T20...item3f0c72d2fd

T206 Drum

[mintacular]

Yeah!

[sox1903wschamp]

Last Turkey for me.

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Brian and Thank You, Barry. In regards to the pickup from Barry, I got the card for a specific board member who contacted me concerning a 1921 E121 Shocker. Can the board member (I know his name), please contact me:

[DanP]

Thanks Phil (for the lead) and Dan McKee (for the sale).
Lindstrom RC

[Howe’s Hunter]

who pointed me in the direction of this card, which became #185 in the rebuilt collection.

Although I've never actually bought a card from Trae, he is directly responsible for 31 of the cards in my collection.

And thanks to all who keep an eye out for these for me.

[Jason]

A few more Virginia Leaguers I picked up last week.

[glchen]

I've had these for a while, but recently got them slabbed. (Thanks to Frank and Paul for them!)

[John V]

Nice T210s, Jason.

Does anyone know anything about the T210 Skydash Collection? Was Skydash the original owner of the set?

[Jason]

Thanks John.I am also curious as to the meaning of the Skydash Collection name.There were a few more of these I didnt win that another board member posted.Maybe he knows more?

[atx840]

Fairly certain Skydash was a board member who consigned a large find, he originally came here under the pretense that it was his wife's late grandfathers collection. Some amazing t206s & tin tops. Google him and you can read the whole story.

Hey thanks Chris.Its nice to know some background on these cards.

[tbob]

The whole Skydash thing was kind of odd. I know the cards I have in Lionel Carter and Frank Nagy slabs will stay that way forever but I can't wait to crack and resubmit the cards I won in the "Skydash" collection

[John V]

Bob,
Not sure I understand. Why do you want to get rid of the Skydash slabs?

why not? he's not a hobby pioneer (or even a collector that cares anything about cards), just some dude that got lucky and cashed in.

I feel the same way Bob does and I would do the same thing. It is not personal at all, but if memory serves this was a fantastic find by a non-hobby guy. A one off if you will... Nothing to see here, moving on...

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Luisa and Thank You, Scott:

[Jaybird]

I don't think I posted these yet. Picked them up at the Nat'l. They are Offermann Published PCs of Buffalo Bison Players from 1908. Similar in look to the American League Publishing set from CLeveland. I'm looking to complete this Offermann set which currently has 19 catalogued players. I've now got 7. Anybody got any others?

[joeadcock]

J@son
Nice grouping.

[novakjr]

More beaters. A couple of HOF rookies for the collection, plus a Bresnahan(I know the Ferrell isn't his rookie, but it is his first individual card)...And of course, another amputee 1888 R&S(Only Baltimore and Chicago to go). At least this one hasn't been beheaded..

[Brian Van Horn]

I still love flea markets. Thank You, Justin:

[Leon]

Some nice pickups this month, so far, guys!!! Here is a Krause I worked a trade out for, with Scott Mt.J@y. I find it very enjoyable to still be able to do lots of trades where both parties are happy. Our Net54baseball family is a good one to deal with, overall. best regards (E90-2 came from the BST a long time ago)

[tjb1952tjb]

Three upgrades for my 1941 Play Ball set from the Memory Lane auction.....the Eddie Miller is a toughie. (I know it's not pre-war, but I snagged a nice '52 Bowman Willie Mays also)....................

[Big Six]

I had this EPDG Chase slabbed...I'll likely move it since I got it for a pretty decent price and put it towards one in better condition...my real reason for posting though was because SGC graded on site in White Plains this weekend...what a great service to be able to offer. Hope they keep doing it...



Back image is from before it being slabbed...

[usernamealreadytaken]

Funny how getting cards back from grading is like getting new cards (some were new pickups)...

[atx840]

Chris nice HINDUs!

If you ever decide to let a few go I am VERY interested

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, MSB:

[Mikehealer]

Got this in a trade with a fellow net54 member. Nice Hindus Chris.

Hey gang,

It's been a few years since I've poked my head into the net54 board. Anyways, I managed to track down a fairly decent card this month. Don't call it a comeback..
