The Official Anything "T-206 Thread"

Dave,

Good luck working on that Red Hindu. I hope it works out for you.

I saw that E107 you purchased on the Net54 board. Good looking card! Congrats.

I like the Matty. Stains to me are kind of nice....adds flavor to the card..much better than creases!

Man, I love that Matty, Scott. Color and registration are always my primary considerations so the spots don't bother me at all. Heck, they're like a badge of honor, really.

Anyway, I've been totally slacking on my scanning - probably because I've been doing much more subtracting from than adding to my collection over the last few weeks. Here's my new stuff:













I very carelessly ended up acquiring two Lentzes recently, so if anybody has SL'ers to burn, I have a PSA 3 that I'd like to trade for an SL'er I still need. I'm also not sure if I'll end up keeping the Seitz. Like I said, I'm a fanatic about image quality and the dark ink doesn't quite line up right on that one.

hey guys I have a Drum and Uzit up on ebay if any has any extra cash laying around

Just another common.

Scott

Great looking cards guys. Nothing new from me.

I also really like that McIntyre portrait. Good looking card.

Great stuff, as always! Here's one of my latest pickups. Sorry for the large scan:

Nice job on the Hindu!

I just picked these up. As I said on the Net 54 board I'll take 2's that look like this all day long and it doesn't hurt they are southern leaguers either!

lamontcarter,
Wow, those SL'ers are blazers! Very nice!

Mark

Sorry to hear that Kirk.

LC, definitely nice SLers for 2's. Nice grab.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I thought the same thing regarding paperloss. The gentleman I bought them from was on the road so he didn't have access to the cards but he told me he thought the backs were okay. Even if they aren't I'm still happy because they present so well. I'll let you know when I get them.

Thanks.

Scott

Sting, that McIntyre looks great. I had that one tracked but don't think I ended up bidding all that high. Kinda wish I had because its color and registration look fantastic.

Must be Southern League season. I was hoping to win one of the Hindus that was on eBay a week or so ago, but my bidding was to no avail. I really wanted the Shaughnessy but it went for insane money for an SGC 10. Just as well, I guess, since I think I have six new SL'ers on the way thanks to Ray B. and someone else from N54. I'm pretty stoked about those pickups.

Lastly...Joe, I'm sorry to see you leaving the T206 Brotherhood but I can appreciate your perspective. I've fortunately never reached that point but I do seem cycle between periods of great enthusiasm for the hobby and bouts of total cynicism toward the grading/auction house racket.

Finally made some new aquisitions, and will post them as I get them. Nothing too special, just some commons. But first new cards in about 2 months (except for the Magee Port. that I picked up last month)

These will be headed to the house in the next few days...not the big purchase I'm after...but happy with them.

Which Matty are you thinking is trimmed? I got close on each scan..and I do not think any of the Matty's are trimmed. They came from a guy that knows very little about cards...had them in his family for years...he also had a lot of e105 mello mints he sold...which were in great condition..i just didnt get to him in time on those.

these mattys all have consistant edges with the rest of the card surface...i really think that black cap matty would be a 5, and the others 2's, maybe outside chance at 3's.

The black cap one. The sides borders look a little thin, IMO. But that is just based on the scan. And it seems that with the small border at top there would be a little more border under his name. >>



That's the same one I was thinking for the same reasons. Again only by seeing the scans. But who knows. Did you get the white cap or black cap?

Eric...I got the white cap. He swears the black cap isnt trimmed..but we couldnt agree on a price on it...he thinks its a solid 5 with outside shot at a 6..

Hey Dave, if you don't mind me asking, what will be your asking price on that Evers? Probably out of my price range, but it can't hurt to ask. Thanks.

Martin, those are some nice new additions. I too am working some extra hours helping my wife at her work to have some "extra money" to spend on more T206s. Also selling off a bunch of other stuff I have to free up some funds. Wasn't planning on buying any more this year, but I can't stay away.

Somewhere in the mix, I have to save up some money so I can get some new ink. Planning on starting a sleeve on my left arm over Thanksgiving, and that'll cost me a chunk. But I'm excited about it. And I can't forget the wife's birthday coming up either .
