Re: August 2013 pickups
American Pioneer, no, I'm just an American with too many Beers. Sadly, I DO collect hydroplane memo. Seattle Seafair Hydroplane pinbacks 1954-1967 (only need 1950-53), and a sponser button from the short-lived Lake Chelan Apple Cup (1957-60)....

1st Annual Lake Chelan Unlimited Hydro Race Program (water damage, imagine that)....

Believe this is the first Hydro-mania Memorabilia ever on FC. Back to baseball...

Great pickups Lucas!
Though I have made disparaging remarks about cavalier collectors of t206's, I must say your collection is right in the sweet spot G-VG+, and doggedly pursued.

Re: August 2013 pickups
total change of heart from my earlier years, a t206 set all spread out scrooge mcduck-style would look sweet.

Thanks Jay. Those Ted Jones designed shovel-nose hydros were real beauties. A remarkable marriage of craftsmanship and horsepower.sabrjay wrote:The hydroplane stuff is very cool.

I won this in Love of the Game this morning. Al runs a fine auction, and gets some quality stuff. I didn't think I'd ever track one of these down.

Congrats on winning your first card, Chris!
Beware... it is a slippery slope.

Schupp's an interesting guy: Played for four different Major League teams in 10 seasons and had exactly 100 decisions as a pitcher, going 61-39. Great card!

Re: August 2013 pickups
That's awesome, Luke. You've waited a long time. The Polar Bear back is cool for sure.

Re: August 2013 pickups
While I have not yet formed a position on Probstein's business practices--a hot topic across the street--I was thrilled to win this card last night from him at FAR less than my max bid, and less than I have paid for commons with this very tough back: (sorry for the large scan)

Re: August 2013 pickups
nice cobby, and nice commy todd. just stay away from high grades and postwar/modern cards (most shilling occur) and you're fine. no point altering that comiskey!
