July 2011 Pickups

I got a few of the cards I recently purchased, all my photoshop programs suck since I got Window's 7:





Cycle backs:

Nice cards Lee, but this is not the thread for Windows 7 criticisms!

consider myself scolded.

But it doesn't mean my photoshop programs are working any better.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I really appreciate them. A couple of years ago I decided to direct my attention & collection towards the 19th century cards/photos & I haven't regretted it for a single moment. The cards can get a little pricey sometimes but it has forced me to narrow my focus, of which I had little. Don't get me wrong, I still like the great early 20th century cards & love gawking at the incredible cards that you guys post here. Thanks again. Here's a few more fairly recent pick-ups.

Got this one in the mail today. Thanks for the trade Pete!

Lee,

Congrats on the CJ Speaker...I know you were on the lookout for one!

Thanks Blair, going to keep my eye out for a better presentation, but really happy with this one. My next CJ goal is Walsh.

Thanks Again,

Lee

I was killing time...waiting for a store to open this morning and I happened into a small town littered with antique stores. The guy was a big postcard collector and he had 2 binders of old baseball related postcards...he had some interesting stuff! When I asked him if he had any dietsche postcards he went in the back and pulled out a set of m101-3 sporting life postcards...all had tape remnants top and bottom and some were trimmed. I made him an offer on the cobb as I've always loved this pose! I couldn't pass this one up! Maybe Dick Towle can remove the tape:)!

Pete,
That's a beauty just the way it is.

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

chris...that's prophetic...my girlfriend bought a bill joel album today...and I bought that cobb...ha ha! Thanks guys!

Lee: That Nattress is a tough-luck 2. Is the back messy? If not, it really deserves a 3.

Return of the Living Commons?
Living Commons and the Temple of Doom?

Awesome pick-ups everyone. July's turning out to be a good month.

The Nattress seems VG to me but I don't care it made the card cheaper to purchase and add another Cycle to my collection.
