Recent pick-ups...




Thanks to Jeff for the PCs...




And a couple of tougher types I'm happy to add (special thanks to Scott for the Wags)...

My latest addition. Hadn't seen one of these in a long time...

Awesome Western Playground card Glen! I was in the running as well but fell short. Such a cool looking set and so tough to find (as you surely know).

Beautiful card Glen. Congrats!

beautiful western playground! there's one complete set intact, do we know how many examples of each card are out there? 3-5?

added the iron man to my subset (there's 5000+ examples of the mcginnity floating around?)...fun wiki-ing these lesser known hof'ers.

Wouldn't you know that the one T206 hofer I decide to collect en masse is the one that there's 5000+ copies floating around (IMM). I think I have 8 different backs.

A couple more pickups for my Goudey HOFer collection...

And a couple auction wins...

One isn't prewar vintage, but I'll ask for your forgiveness for posting it. Mathews is a tough HOF rookie to find well centered.

Nice pickup on the Bender Brian. I was watching that one.

Picked up my 8th HRK catcher recently:





P.S. Nice pickup Glen on the Western Playground. It was the 1st I have ever seen on ebay.

A couple of my pickups over the last month or so:

E103 Lajoie:


T205 Cobb:


E101 Matty:


E90-1 Oakes:

Really like that E103 Lajoie, Eric. Great pickup! It looks great for the grade!

Thanks Brian. I think it looks awesome myself. Just a bit of staining, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest. That Lajoie is my favorite of all his cards. For some reason he doesn't have to many "appealing" poses....to me anyway.

The E103 will always keep their value...and when you have a few hard-core collectors going after them, any E103 is a great catch.

I wonder if that guy from Okla. named Jamie (i think) is still trying to hoard every E103 card he can buy. I think he told me his collection ran up to 100 or more.

Mark

you guys have really stepped up your game, great stuff to balance out my low-end t206s...thanks!

its real ugly but its my first Ruth and it completes my w551 set. so for now it's good enough

There's no such thing as an ugly Ruth card. Nice cards all!!!!!!!!!


Tony A.

I think Ruth had a rash when the picture was taken. I have to agree no Ruth is ugly.

What are E103 Lajoies going for? I owned one, think I got it from Ben, and sold it for I believe under $100, at least VG if my memory serves me right.

Here is my only pick Thanks to Eric, my count is up to 66 Cycle 460 backs:

Somthing goofy with the pic hosting.

Lee

lee i think a vg e103 lajoie would be around $1500-$1800 today

lee has 66 cycles, i have 16 hof'ers...lee knows 10x more about t206s than me, seems kind of unfair please sell lee those cycles he needs!

I had a feeling that you would say something that high. I try to keep scans of all the cards i own and have owned but don't seem to have a scan of the Lajoie I owned. Ben if you are reading did you own one at one time?

Thanks to Eric!!!!



I do own quite a few more T206s but my focus is on the Cycle 460's, I have 70 but 66 different.

No problem Lee. Glad I could help add another Cycle 460 to your collection.

very nice brown, looks great!

these will be the last show for awhile, i'm leaving on a trip tomorrow. the speaker is a little worse than i thought it'd be...MEH! tinker hands on knees could be my new favorite t206 pose.

famous last words from a N54 goodbye post (that lasted a couple months)...vaya con dios!
