Post your most lovable beater card.

Pete - glad to see you like the Lajoie. I really like the cards I received in our trade as well! Trades where both parties are elated with their cards really make this Hobby enjoyable.

for sure Scott...nothing like a good trade for one and all.

Here's another one for the beater gallery. One of the rattier cards in the e96 set I'm working on, but I don't mind cards in this kind of condition at all really.

Picked up this great beater. I figured my collection was missing a good beater, so I added this one.

darn, oh well. It was a beater anywaze

Picked these up in a recent trade with a Pacific NW collector I have traded with for years (and a great guy too!). I can see why Jim Rivera likes these Baltimore cards now - the few I have are starting to grow on me as well.

Nice Strang Scott-mine is raw and has a crease across his chest. That is only about the 4th or 5th BL Strang I have seen. You know my soft spot! I seem to remember seeing that card on the 54 and trying to get it with no luck. GOOD JOB!
I have 7 of the 9 Baltimore players with BL-find the Cassidy and Jackson and the trade is on!

Coming Soon - more beaters

Gil, you need a good beating

Yes, I do.
Please put me down for the next opening which you have in the tall redhead's schedule.

I got this on ebay a few weeks ago. Pretty good for the price.

Congrats on the T205 Drum! I remember bidding a token bid on it to keep an eye out for it. Great pickup!

Thanks,
It is one of the better deals I've gotten off of ebay.

You may think that I am crazy, and you could be right.

Gil,

I wouldn't call you crazy at all. Those are awesome cards. The Matty Coupon is sweet!

Here are some of the Tipton Mint cards from my collection.

Welcome to the forum, David! Your name sounds familiar - are you an OBC member? I was part of the group up until a few years ago.

I like your '54 Bowman Williams "mini"

Those are some Tiptons to be proud of!

ps. Gil your Mayo Delahanty is a beaut.

Thanks. Yes, I am an OBC member, which means that lots of my cards as messed up. I meant to write a little into in my first post but I forgot.

I hope the cards I posted weren't too new for the standards of this group, but those were the scans I had handy.

You guys are moving to fast for me. What's OBC?

No worries at all. We like to keep it mostly prewar, but a few 50's cards here and there won't hurt anyone.

OBC is a close knit baseball card collectors group that focuses on helping out the fellow collector. Members post their wantlists and cards are swapped and often given away with the aim of "hitting" each other's list as much as possible. Rarely if ever does money change hands. Most of the cards dealt with in the group are raw/low grade. There is a bit of prewar activity but the majority of swaps involve 50's-70's cards. It's a really nice group with a great bunch of passionate collectors.

Here is a LINK to the OBC website. What did I miss, David?

love this card!!

I'd say that you described the essence of OBC fairly well there.

I've got a small number of pre-war cards. I'm working on collecting St. Paul Saints and Minneapolis Millers as one of my sidelines.
