Addams Family - 1964

Outer Limits - 1964

Some more Ripley's BION I just got - from the 1953 Parkhurst set:



I'm now up to 43 in the set

I finally got my last Cracker Jack card (1-147 numbers, different series)

I won the G-Men related lot in Mastro of 4 complete sets (1930 anonymous r13-1 and r13-2, 1936 r61 and 1949 Bowman r701-6)and a partial r60 G-Men and Heroes of the law.

Nice pickup on the G-Men lot. I probably cost you a ducat or two on that one............

Tom..no problem as long as it only cost me ducats and not $$$.
Alan

this is my sixth album to be framed in my inlaid frames. Still looking for the second series Ginter and the Goodwin round...

That really looks sharp!

Never thought about displaying album pages like that.

You opened my eyes, Henry. I'd love to display the A&G Indians and
Duke Histories of Generals next to each other...just as you have done.

What a great eye-opener. Thank you.

Trade in the works. This card, when received, make it the 46th of 50 needed injuns.

General problem with albums is they can't be enjoyed without fear of damage. If I can ever get some time and figure out the download on my new camera (still in box 8 months) I'll take a shot of the Kimball Indian and Ginter Indian pieces for you Dan. I have a generals album but as it's constructed differently - I've decided not to frame it. Who knows. Things change These are rather large pieces. Only so much room until I buy a house.....

I think Alan Miley or Chuck Millburn one or the other posted a FANTASTIC primer to the Kinney Novelty cards and stated that there were only (5) of the Oval Eggs seen and pictured (4) of them. I recently picked up (2) of them that are different than the (4) pictured, so there are now at least (6) and maybe (7) of them if the unpictured one is different than the ones I now show below. The two 'new' ones are the two at the bottom of the photo next to the back sample.

couldn't resist this ..goes nice with my set

Tom, There are 14 N228 type 6 eggs:

I'm quite fond of this pickup!

Some 1920's bread cards that come with invisible color printed on them that gets activated when you wipe a wet paintbrush across them...



N18's....

Tod,

Those are great November pick ups. Can we see more of the 1920's bread cards ? Maybe the backs as well ?

cheers

Richard, I was quite fond of that card also, so much so I almost decided to keep it. I am glad someone here ended up with. Paul D.

I believe there is a word or phrase that describes pictures that turn colored when water is applied (as in the bread cards Todd posted). I have been trying to remember it off and on for a couple of months.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Alan,
I'm not sure of the term but the backs all refer to the process as magic or invisible color pictures.

I have posted a few more examples in their own thread so as not to clutter up the pickup thread.

My tiny Nov. pickup, from the 55 Hocus Focus set:

so far 14 diff.....great litho set.....

I picked these up a couple of days ago and I have not been able to identify them.

Pretty sure those are T 350 type 2

Thanks Henry for spotting these so quickly.
All The Best

Gets me to 9 out of 10
just 1 more to go

Near set of Pirates Bold Flags (was supposed to be complete but arrived missing one - anyone have an Argentine Republic to trade/sell?)....



Some flag midgee panels...

OK, been to the flea market again. Found this in the bottom of a suitcase full of paper but just had to share it. This is the mail-away factory set for the E171 - Hall Of Fame For Great Americans series by Henry Heide. This came as an entire sheet that was folded into fourths (very thin paper) ....

Wow Todd - that's a really neat piece!

Recent pickup....




(Shameless plug: I have my dupes on ebay now if interested.)

Why pull out Betsy Drake and put her on the top of the stack?

Where do you find this stuff? People coming to you, or are you simply that good at treasure hunting?

Daniel,
Normally the photos are B&W. The blue ones are harder to find that was why I put that one on top.

I scour baseball card shows/ebay/flea markets/paper shows/and the Wrapper. Since I like everything - I always find something.

I was happy to get one as a type, glad I beat Todd to the "stash".

A type card! Richard, that is one of only 11 I need for my set. Any way you would trade that for any of the others I have plus some cash or something?
