The last thread was getting a bit large, and I felt the need to give a BIG thank you to Toby for the following via the BST:



(All Series 2)

The Waner is an upgrade and Wilson is No. 42 in the quest for a master set. Both have Oct. 1 backs.

Two GREAT cards!

Great stuff. Great looking Dutchman Matt.

Old pickup in a fresh slab.

So it was you Leon on that JuJu Chance. I was the underbidder and felt pretty good about my chances (no pun intended). Anyways, congrats...you don't see them too often and that looked pretty good for the grade. Sorry to cost you some extra bucks.

Mike

Not quite a card but pictures 3 HOF'ers.......

The only way I can afford to buy a 1914 CJ Matty, and I don't mind one bit

Happy to have picked this up in a trade with a board member.

Looks like Cornelius McGillicuddy is smokin a J on that one...did you get it in a trade with Bob Marley?

Kidding of course...that is a great pickup, but am I the only one that sees that?

Sometimes even a blind hog finds an acorn, like when you stumble across the toughest card in the E98 set offered in the 1950's section of eBay

I love getting a Walter Johnson for under $50

congrats tbob...that's just where the market is. i don't think anyone missed that card.

rman...greatest die-cut ever!

Thanks Quan. You may be right about the market, but if I hadn't used the Microsoft Live Search of ALL baseball cards today for E98s instead of just using the pre-1930 eBay search I would have never have found it so I bet some guys here missed it. I believe this is the 2nd highest graded Coombs by PSA so it's a welcome addition to the red, blue and orange ones.

Greg, That is exactly what I thought when I saw it too, so you aren't alone.

Nice one, Leon. I was third, but far back. Terrific card!

Two more:

Bob,
I didn't miss it. Even though I would have liked to win it, sorry I cost you an extra $120.

Another one checked off the list. Thanks Frank W.

Great card, Rawn. Congrats!

Thanks Jason, another due in tomorrow I hope. I thought collecting one person would be easy.

A few more E270 Tin Tops...


-Rhett

Love these cards. Have the complete 50-card set of N28s so figured why not start the N29s.....

Thanks Ryan!!>>>>

... I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.

Bob,
I didn't miss it. Even though I would have liked to win it, sorry I cost you an extra $120. >>

I can't gripe, I got it for 1/3 its value.
Have a happy holidays. (And stay away from caramel cards!)

Further indication of tumbling card prices is this group of T210s I picked up today on ebay for less than $20 each.

Great pickups, Bob. I was watching the Malloy, but forgot to place a bid. I'm glad it went to a board member.


In keeping with the theme, thank you to John S. via the B/S/T:

Another knocked off the list.
?t=1228867161

Rawn - are you actually working off a list that has both of those UNCs?

2 tough pickups. Congrats!

Again thank you for this Matt. I have a list, but it's tough to find some of the pictures of these to go by. Still looking for some commons, T3, J=K and a couple more.Ligett & myers, domino disc, Pinkerton, T207, Fleishmann's. I'm sure there are more.



Rawn

Thank You, Don:

Manush puts the set at just over 78% not counting the Lajoie.

I didn't add the 1910 W-Unc because in my opinion they aren't really "cards" but part of a notebook, but still pretty neat
-Rhett

There goes my budget all to hell, Thanks Rhett. Now add in all of the different backs and I have many to search for......OK not that many. Any place you would recommend to get pictures of the obscure cards? And the pins are cards? Have them though.



Rawn

Rawn, don't try to make sense of things! I usually only add things into my database that were meant to be collected in the state they are found today, it may be arbitrary to some but it is my system.

If there is anyone else out there that would like a list of a particular players' cards, I would be happy to get them a list. My database was something that took me over a year to complete, and have thought about getting it published, as it includes the first name (and when available a middle initial) of most minor leaguers (and all major leaguers) along with the cards that each person is pictured on.
-Rhett

it would be nice if SGC recognized the different Series on the label....especially for the Old Mill's.....


this may be a dumb question but does anyone have a scan of a T210 Series 8 Jackson ?

thanks

From the current Mastro Auction

I dont post much but here is my latest pickup.
My 1rst Cameo Pepsin Gum Pin

Mike, now I know whose name I was cursing the other day!
-Rhett

Rawn,

Excellent Carrigan UNC's. You have been busy. Good luck on the J=K. That is one tough hombre and could be a tad expensive. Love to hear about your "rough" pickups. I'll be on the lookout for you.

Michael

A thoroughly underwhelming card, but a perfect example of what happens when an Ebay seller charges $4 for shipping and then simply sticks the graded card in a standard letter envelope.

Anthony,

Sorry to see that. Have you contacted the seller? Has he/she shown remorse?

Much remorse but no refund...so it's ok.

I did send him a note right before posting the card here. To be honest, the crack has no effect on me as I'm an old school bust 'em out of the holder type anyway (unless the card is valuable and I might resell it at some point in future), but I just wanted to make sure the seller knows how to properly pack cards in the future, because other buyers would care. His feedback is low, so it could be he simply didn't know any better.

That was nice of you, Anthony. Other people might not be so considerate.

-Al

Anthony,

He's lucky he sold to you instead of Lee.

Jim,

If he'd sold it to Dan, the mailman would've fallen down a mineshaft.

Nice one Jason. I followed it, but none of the names were from an hour up the road here.

Rawn

Thank You, Jerry:

A couple of toughies (especially McKune) in ANY condition:
