August 2008 Pickups

Ben thought of you the other day when I won this I seem to remember you owning one of these correct? Anyways hope all is well over here, thought I would share a few of the months pickups and my upgrades on the T206 set etc.

Nice pickups guys BTW!

the f&b jax is teh awesome...it'd be fantastifabulous if the image is a little nicer!

Yes it is. I miss Famous & Barr - even though they didn't have cards when I was a kid.

And I gotta say that wonka's eye for T206's is most discriminating. I like that!

wonka's monthly haul=what others buy in a year

John -

Beautiful arrangement.

Heh heh. I trust that that's a compliment, Quan, but some of those catalog descriptions could shame anything in San Jose State's Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.

Wonka, wonka, wonka. Nice group of pickups. Holy cow!

I'll second the:

So true. I got a chuckle out of that. (dancing banana time)

Thanks for the kind words guys...yeah I have big months and then very little some months. I guess I'm sort of a binge collector...card sober for months then one tragic day face down in a pile of baseball cards..LOL.

King - beautiful Waddells! Great looking tough blue back!

Got this for a decent price....

Nice Mark!

How are you doing on your blue background subset?

I need 4 more...Matty and Wagner will be big $$$$



Mark

Boss Schmidt, From the Coal Mines of Arkansas, Came one of the Baddest Son of Guns to ever play the game. Reported to have fought Jack Johnson in an Exhibition Bout and whipped Cobb on several occasions. Has the dubious record of being the only man to make the Last out in 2 consecutive World Series 07/08.

had dream of putting together the e92 dockmans G/VG after seeing the nice lot recently on ebay...which i suspect is from an original collection (my favorite kind) since they present so nicely. however was only able to win these handful while underbidding on the other 15 i was interested in . who still buys cards? shouldn't that money be saved for gas?

Nice Cards Quan, Those appear to be in nice shape.

It's actually the 3rd time I've owned a T205 Joss. Nice to have one in the collection again. Thanks Chris!

Not pretty I know, but I figured it's better to have a rough Coupon Collins rather than none at all!

Ben, why the 1? Is there back damage? What back does it have?

Jay

I like that Cycle Cobb.

In the words of Borat: "VERY NICE!"
