January 2009 Pick-ups

anything Crawford is good. He has always been my favorite Deadball era player

Jay

Wahoo Sam is my favorite too! Still underrated nearly 100 years later.

My shiniest t205!


-Randy

Another nice Combo , thanks to the Yawie man

Here are some new guys:

is that a flood in Nashville? Get to higher ground

Jay

I was able to pick up this Latham Cycle 460. I had not had it cataloged before I bought it. I think this brings me to 62.

Those are some great looking pins. If you don't mind me asking what did they set you back?

I recently completed a trade with a board member for this W600 Kling (thanks!). Still waiting for it to arrive, but I'll jump the gun and post it now anyway:

My Omaha team set is moving along nicely.

Picked up this nice group of Famous & Barr's. Some interesting aspects of this group is that the Ainsmith & Vaughn are scarce M101-4 Famous & Barr's, while most F&B's are M101-5's. Notice the top to bottom add back on the Ainsmith anf the extra Border line on the Hartzell

Great cards. I have always loved these sets. Some of the best baseball photos around.

Took me a while to find one off grade enough to afford and good enough to enjoy at the same time.

I believe its a 1926 W512 strip card of 3 H.O.F.

Always wanted one of these and it fits nicely in my shoebox collection.

Here is my prize of the new year, a T209-2 Presley/Pritchard card. It is not only the only horizontal in the set, but also the only two player card-it isn't the easiest to find card, either.

great pickup Zach! I was not aware there was a horizontal or a 2-player card in the set!

Zach, very cool card.

Mark, don't you mean 2.5 HOFers on that strip?

Jay

you are correct 2.625 of H.O.F.

Got it cheap so i don't complain.


Mark

Thanks for the kudos on the T209, as you can tell, I really enjoy the card. It is too bad that the makers didn't produce more two player cards.

A nice Day at the mailbox...

-Completion of the T201 Cubs Team Kling/Cole
-Next to last card for the 1933 Goudey Cubs team Jerges(The last -Warneke is in the mail!!!!)
-My first N172 Cubbie (Orphan, Colt, White Stocking- whatever you want to call them!!!!!)

Zach, That is a cool card, but where exactly are they suppose to be on the field? I would guess from the glove home but it looks pretty grassy. Got to love those set up poses.

Now for the Frank Baker card, man that glove looks like a cows udder was ripped off and made into a glove.

Hopefully by tomorrow I will have a couple of cards to post.

Lee

Thanks. You have given me a whole new perspective on the D304!
