Blair,

First, nice pickups. I especially like the Red Cross.

Second, nice new scanner. Those images are more clear than when I am actually holding a card in my hand! Sweet.

Thanks,

AndyH Smile

Hi Andy,

Thanks very much!

The scanner seems to be working out real well - it is a Canon 8800F flatbed scanner. I had been drooling over some card scans I saw on Net54, and found out this was the scanner being used, so...what the heck santa

.

Cheers,

Blair

And also congrats to you on your Red Cross pickup! These are super-tough cards - must have been a lucky month for both of us!!!

Cheers,

To go along with the 1914 Crackerjacks I've recently jumped into are a couple nice companion pieces of vintage Crackerjack stands.
The photo's cool but the postcard below it showing a mobile Crackerjack cart on wheels with a large stack of Crackerjacks displayed on top is my favorite. When looking at the photo you almost get this feel your outside of an old ballpark and this kid is selling Crackerjacks to attendee's as they pay admission to go inside to watch the game.

Tony, Those are super Cool. I especially like the PC

Blair- You have been on one serious roll lately. Nice pick ups (all of them). My favorite maybe the Colgan Gardner. It may just lead me to collecting Colgan's. Here is my M-101-4 Janvrin to compare to your M-101-5. And I really wish PSA could figure out how to correctly encapsule the cards in the holder! Rolling Eyes

Thanks for the comments, Michael! I managed to get to a nice card show in WA, where I got a bunch of that stuff, including the Colgan's.

That Janvrin pose is pretty cool - I like the "action" of it. I know what you mean about some of those PSA slabs...

Cheers,
Blair

(also picked up a cobb 2 bat off that i would trade for a bat on...and a matty portrait 30 that i would trade for a johnson pitching/young glove shows!)

Hi Dan,
Pretty blurry under magnification but from what I can tell the posters on the walls look to be of women?? Actually the scanned pictures attached look clearer than when viewing through a loop. I didn't really catch those the first time around, good eye. Would be interesting to know what they are indeed.

I too picked up a Red Cross this month via trade. I'll post pics when I get a chance. Wow!!! 3 board member RC additions.

Here's my T215 Red Cross. Russ Ford SGC 50. I love this card, and was very happy with the overall trade that sent this one to me (Thanks Scott). And a possible T206 back?

Nice pickups Blair! You're on a roll. And thank you for the compliments on the Red Cross (impressive 3 in 1 month on the board, by board members).

by cccc Wed Jun 17, 2009 2:16 am

thanks to tony for the scan...this card probably zig zag back and forth from west to east and back to west in the span of a month.

Hi Quan,
Glad to see you ended up with it after all. You're right, that card has seen some road miles the last 30 days. bounce

Eric,

Very nice Red Cross. It's interesting that SGC didn't label which type it is though, no?
