What is your wantlist looking like these days?

For me it hasn't changed a whole lot lately.

-7 more e96's to finish my set
-A few E HOFers (e95 Cobb and e97 Keeler top that list)
-D359's (whatever I can find)
-Other rare types (again, whatever I can find! A N321 tops that list)

How 'bout you?

much smaller than when I was chasing the player set, but I still need lots of cards. Still need 12 Delongs but all the toughest cards are out or the way, about 185 t205s and about 90 Diamond Stars.

i've spent my 2008 card budget but long term in order of priority i'd like some of these cards to round out my collection:

--e97 b/ws
--e94 young
--e104 baker
--e97 colors
--e96 lajoie
--t206 plank
--t204 johnson

the plank and johnson are kinda long shots now since they're so overinflated recently.

Quan, it seems like you've been searching for that e94 Young forever. Hasn't one come along that strikes your fancy? Or are they just too overpriced to take the plunge?

ben, always end up being underbidder or tbob needs the 18th one for his set on the group buys so i'm still young-less and restless. i've also passed up on a couple poor-- beaters.

This is my want list lately...

Allen & Ginter Tim Keefe
1911 T201 Walter Johnson Johnson
1914 Cracker Jack Nap Lajoie
1922 E121 Ross Youngs, George Kelly, John McGraw, Harry Heilmann
1933 DeLong Lefty Grove
1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig
"Any" Buck Weaver

The main interests are:

T206 Cycle 460's (I have 60)

T202 factory 30 Black back

Piedmont art stamps

Lee

Still looking for cards from some of the tougher 20s sets:

W575-2
Star Player Candy
Wm Paterson
W503

Also looking for a W600 Sporting Life cabinet and maybe an N173 as well...

Chris

What I want (unfortunately what I can afford is a different story...):



1911 Gilmartin, 1911 Western Playground,

1914 Baltimore News, 1933 C.A. Briggs Co. Ruth,

1909 Derby Cigars, 1925 Fredrick Foto,

1940 Grennan Bakery (D351), 1920s Babe Ruth Heading Home,

1940s Sarra Trade Cards, 1911 Sporting Life Cabinets (M110),

1914 Texas Tommy Type 2 (E224-2), 1910 Washington Times,

1923 W-Unc IRC Orange & White Strip Cards,

1947 Morley Studios

I need the Giants !




But I know that I will wind up comprimizing on the n43, probably wind up with an n29. But that is not all bad. But maybe .... I will prioritize this one (it has happened before).

Hey Glen, I'm curious about this set. Are those the manager strips that Frank Ward had a while ago? Or something else?

I love seeing wantlinsts!

I still want everything, but like most my budget dictates my reality here.

- Anything and everything prewar Jersey City Skeeters (or Jerseys or Giants) related.
- T213-2
- W516-1 need 18/30 (emphasis: Becker backs)
- W520 need 12/20
- W572
- T206 emphasis: beater HOFers and any card with a certain back stamp, then any other I don't have yet
- C46 Jersey City players first (need Butler, Jones and Wells), then all others
- Any obscure issue that I can find at a good price. I just like to get new cards in the mail A LOT!

N172 Omahas (need most of them - have only 6 at this time)
Nebraska Indians postcards that I don't have
Nebraska Indians Cabinets that I don't have
Unglaub (lincoln) Tin Top (does it exist?)

Ben - not the manager strips. The name differs between SCD and Old Cardboard, but I think they are the same: http://www.oldcardboard.com/w/ifs-blue-orange/ifs-blue-orange.asp?cardsetID=854

I am going after a few sets right now that and I would like to make progress on:

E93
E103

Here are the players I collect and the cards I need:

Ty Cobb-E98 (all colors), E103 low grade, D304 Low grade(highest on my list), E95, E90-1,E 145

Christy Mathewson- E98 (Red, Green), E95 (Psa4 or SGC 50), E90-1, 1914 crackerjack

Honus Wagner- E103 (Low Grade), E90-1 (both poses), E95, D322 (low Grade)

Babe Ruth- M101-4/5 Low Grade

I wish i would have kept those E103 cards you sold me...I would have sold them back to you at the same price

Now the E103 cards are going for much higher prices and thats if you can find them!!!


Mark

Hey Jeff, I might be able to help you out with the e93's. I've got a partial set that I haven't made much progress on and I'm about ready to give up on it. PM me if interested

Ben I Pm you just a minute ago.

Mark

I think that the E103's have always had strong prices. Now I just have to find some...........

Jeff

Thankfully, I'm not working on sets or players, that's always a fortune. For the past year or two I have been buying errors, misprints and oddities. They are affordable and fun. (except for that $45K multiple misprint).

Always looking for beaters to practice on to help the hobby recognize alterations. For every one success there are five that fail. I'm fortunate that several have been donated thoughout the years. Lately, quite a few...thanks (you know who you are!) . That group helped perfect an alteration technique that is above and beyond what was expected. The results have been past on to a friendly grader...or two.

M101-5 Joe Jackson in lower grade (anything from Authentic to a 3).

While my main focus will likely always be autographed T206 cards, I have branched out into any pre-1920 cards that have been signed. I dabbled in 1933 Goudeys for a bit, and still have my Gehringer and Terry, but I am really only drawn to the CJs and earlier.

So, if you've got any you'd like to share a scan of -- whether or not you want to part with it -- please shoot me an email: SignedT206@gmail.com

I have an image gallery of every signed pre-1920 baseball card I could find (some of which I own, some of which I don't). The gallery is on my website: www.T206Collector.com

t206collector,

Some might recall a group of signed (psa/dna) m101 Mall Theaters on ebay several years ago. It included a Walter Johnson. Unfortunately they were signed in pencil, so the quality of the sigs wasn't great. But still very cool to see such a scarce issue signed. And they went for bargain prices. Do you have scans of those on file?

When was this? I have tracked Mall Theatres for at least 5 years and do not recall seeing any lot of signed examples. In fact, I believe I have seen scans of but two for sale at all during that time. I was lucky enough to find some through mail order and bought was left (5) sight unseen, but there were no HOFers in that lot other than Evers. I would love to see scans of any Malls, signed or otherwise.

This was 2004ish. The Mall Theaters were listed individually in the autographs category, so they were pretty well hidden. I don't believe the seller wrote "Mall Theater" in the auction title/description, so that might be why they eluded you in your search. I can't recall exactly how many there were - around 4 or 5.

I wish I had kept better notes on them. My memory is foggy, but I'm pretty sure the commons all went cheap the Johnson sold for a substantial sum (but still a bargain). All were signed. If I remember correctly, Dan Mckee won the Johnson. So perhaps he could fill is in on some of the details.

...those, but have sent Dan an email to see if he has scans or can otherwise enlighten us. Those would be really great to see.
