Great Max Carey pickups, Tony! I picked up a photo of him with the Pirates in 1913 from the Carey estate recently.

Thanks Brian. I'd love to see a scan of your Carey pic.

Thanks Brian. I'd love to see a scan of your Carey pic.

I posted it on another thread here, but I guess I moved it so the pic no longer shows up.

Here it is again with its Provenance.

Picked this up for the '33 Goudey HOF collection...

[crazylocomerk]

Wow, Brian, that Ott is a beauty. How close are you now?

[terjung]

Nowhere near completion. I'm only 18% of the way to the HOF set and I don't have any Ruths or the Lajoie. I have one of the Gehrigs, but that is it. A long, long way away. E107 HOFers are still far and away my priority. Thanks for the kind words though!

I was lucky to win one of the 25 HRK cards on eBay this past week.

Picked up one more for my 1933 Goudey HOFer set.
Couldn't let this one slip away.

Thanks Chris! My collection finally has a floating head

[sabrjay]

Those floating head cards are creepy but I certainly wouldn't mind having in my collection.

Chris, love those catcher cards when they are in full gear.

forging on with the t206 hof action poses, highlighted by these 2 bvgs (thanks to eric on the lajoie). now i gotta review rman's beckett slab-cracking kung fu so i could get rid of the annoying scan glare.

a few Wheaties from that '33 squad:

ok todd unique (post)cards i've never seen before and all...but we're in the 21st century feel free to mix in some color cards once in awhile!

i got a nice full 1080p laptop display and the black/white don't show off as nice as a green or blue! i'd take a worth cigar at this point...

[sabrjay]

Is a Worth Cigar card more valuable than a Worch Cigar card?

Is a Worth Cigar card more valuable than a Worch Cigar card?

Maybe not more valuable but it would by definition be worth more

Q, these are all rare color cards you see from me; sadly, my scanner only works in black and white. How do you like my new B18 purple basepaths Bassler:

[cccc]

worth/worch....that's what i get for posting at 1am

and todd...i see cards is not the only thing you need to bring into the 21st century

[nolemmings]

You want color? How about this rare Standard Biscuit Murphy card--front has elements of a D304 and several caramel cards so fervently chased by those who must have color:
