Post your most lovable beater card.

For anyone who may have said I have a good eye for cards with nice eye appeal...hasn't seen my whole collection.

John,

I love those E95s with the team logos drawn in on the portraits with plain uniforms. I know I've seen at least one or two others like that.

I can just imagine some bored kid (or adult) back in the day deciding that the E95s with plain uniforms just didn't look quite right and taking matters into their own hands.

Scott;

I think the same thing...some kid in class hiding it from the teacher etc. as he works away fixing the card the way it should look in his eye's. :study:

that's very cool, i think we've all seen that e95 doyle in a psa4 holder with the NY on the uni...so i don't think that hoffman would look out of place in a psa 4.5 holder wonka.

The kid did some nice work - the companies printing the strip cards of the 20's should have hired that kid - then, maybe, the strip cards would have looked more realistic!

This offering is among my most loved, but I'm not sure that it is MOST loved.
This one demonstrates my belief that a card's borders are designed to protect the image of the card. And this card's borders fought valiently in that regard. Yes, they were overrun in places, but they also held the line, and took heavy casualties. All in all though, they were successful, because here is the card!

Pete - glad to see you like the Lajoie. I really like the cards I received in our trade as well! Trades where both parties are elated with their cards really make this Hobby enjoyable.

for sure Scott...nothing like a good trade for one and all.

Here's another one for the beater gallery. One of the rattier cards in the e96 set I'm working on, but I don't mind cards in this kind of condition at all really.

Picked up this great beater. I figured my collection was missing a good beater, so I added this one.

darn, oh well. It was a beater anywaze

Picked these up in a recent trade with a Pacific NW collector I have traded with for years (and a great guy too!). I can see why Jim Rivera likes these Baltimore cards now - the few I have are starting to grow on me as well.

Nice Strang Scott-mine is raw and has a crease across his chest. That is only about the 4th or 5th BL Strang I have seen. You know my soft spot! I seem to remember seeing that card on the 54 and trying to get it with no luck. GOOD JOB!
I have 7 of the 9 Baltimore players with BL-find the Cassidy and Jackson and the trade is on!

Coming Soon - more beaters

Gil, you need a good beating

Yes, I do.
Please put me down for the next opening which you have in the tall redhead's schedule.

I got this on ebay a few weeks ago. Pretty good for the price.

Congrats on the T205 Drum! I remember bidding a token bid on it to keep an eye out for it. Great pickup!

Thanks,
It is one of the better deals I've gotten off of ebay.
