my fourth Wagner portrait (fifth if you count a team issue)

Thank you Frank - it is a beauty!

Still haven't figured out why a pitcher would be covering 2nd on a steal attempt.

Joe D,

Are you sure that's Wagner? Looks like FDR to me.

I always thought John McGraw was the guy on the dime.

Picked these up recently from the B/S/T, #'s 25 and 26 for me.

Just received these two beauties over the past few days --

Great pickups, Adam! Two of the Big 3!

Thanks very much, I must admit, I have been actively seeking a Plank for a bit of time now, so I am especially pleased to finally have that one.

Adam - congratulations on the outstanding pickups!

Adam, pretty good couple of days of card collecting!

Adam...... all I can say is WOW !!

great pickups !!! Thanks for posting.

I was very excited to pick up this J=K candy card a few days ago. I was even more surprised by its size once I got it in the mail; it dwarfs the average "T" and "E" card.

One of my favorite post war cards...a nice upgrade.

I have always thought that the 1951 Bowman Doby was one of the most attractive cards of all time. I would love to see the original artwork someday.

Rhys

was very happy for this arrival yesterday...

starting another e93 set thanks to seth...albeit much lower grade this time...looking for the other 15 i need in low grade (fr-g).

Adam,
Congrats on two awesome cards!

Quan,
Glad to see you are back with E93s.
JimB

with the grade on this one.

the two prizes in my grab-bag lot from H&S:

Todd,
Congrats! The M101-6 Hornsby sits atop my want list with the '23-'24 Bottomley Exhibit. Beautiful card, yes card!

I don't really collect Caramels but I was reading about Smokey Joe Wood recently and he seems very interesting!

Scot- great Thorpe postcard!

Jeff:

I know what you're going through on the Bottomley. It took me a couple of years of searching to find this one. Not in the best condition but...........

The 1951 Bowman Doby card uses a picture that appears (black-and-white) in the 1951 and possibly 1950 Indians team issued photo packs.

As for pitcher covering second base . . . if catcher overthrew on steal attempt and second sacker was chasing the ball in the outfield, wouldn't the pitcher cover?

Bob,

IF 2B was chasing an errant throw, SS should cover bag. P would back up throw from SS to 2B.

Depending on how far away the ball gets, P might back-up plate (or 3B) on a ball thrown from outfield to home (or 3B).

Either way...its a great looking card!

Best,

If you happened to have seen a Giants game this April, you've noticed that virtually all their players cover 2nd base on errant throws. Sigh.

this one arrive today.

Congrats on the Thorpe pitching!

Call me Ishmael. I'd likely overpaid, but have been waiting for this particular Red Belt view to show for many many years.

You did not overpay. I paid $150.00 for mine and was quite pleased with the deal.

steve...oddly enough, i just got one myself!

Did I overpay? Yep.

Does it bother me? Nope.

Very nice Larry there.

Steve, Dan... I don't have the Red Belt in hand yet. Is the "BOSTON" on Collins jersey legible? Doesn't appear so. Thanks for posting the XL scan.


Huntington Ave c1905,

Loads of my stuff coming to the sale counter SOON!!!!

But this one is my latest keeper.

"I bought Jon Voight's car."

"Boss!"

???? Insert hidden joke?

Sorry. Seinfeld reference.

I neglected to say: Great pickup!

Groovy. Jerry Seinfeld is a massive collector of cars (had to add that).

I have thought seriously about a Lotus Elise.....Your car is awesome. I love fast cars.....but drive an Accord .....
