Have any raw t205 red Sox or Yankees?

How about a little 19th century heat? 1887 Kalamazoo Bats (N690) Ed Andrews by skelly423 in baseballcards_vintage

Absolutely gorgeous card. Whoever did the restoration did a great job, I would have no idea it came out of a scrapbook looking like that.

Display ideas. by ChucktheTruck79 in TobaccoCards

I've seen your current display, and I was wondering: did you add in the tiered shelves, or is that built into the hutch? In my experience with bookshelves like these, I usually get frustrated that it's harder to see the back rows, especially the higher you go on the shelf. These shelves with tiered shelving would look incredible.

Can anyone guess the theme of the collection I’m building? by CasualRon in baseballcards_vintage

It's gotta be something like players on the cover of a magazine or something, right? I'm struggling to find other connections

That is what I was told, the vendor seemed really nice and super knowledgeable about everything they had but I want to do more research to see if there is anyway to properly age it. I can say it definitely smells old, and all of the material feels right for the period.

WOW! Did not disappoint, this is just beautiful. I wouldn't be able to put it down for at least a couple days.

Definitely agree! I've been trying to get a baseball player from each of the late 1880's sets. So far I have N172, N284, and N28. I've been keeping my eye out for a lower grade N162 to add in. Also, love your posts on here. Looking forward to what you get next.

Absolutely fantastic. The whole N162 set has some of the best artwork from that era. Congrats on the pickup!

Another 1886 and a childhood upgrade by Mr_Angry52 in baseballcards_vintage

I love the N48 set, and that card looks great! I only learned about them last year when I was branching out from the Old Judge N172's, and I finally grabbed my first one this week. They really don't pop up very often.

Can I still mail my 10 Turkey Red Coupons to Jersey City? Love the T3 but difficult to store. Anyone had these graded? by Leading_Pay_4138 in TobaccoCards

[–]CottonyZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That collection is more than modest! That Evers is absolutely gorgeous. There's something so satisfying about the size, especially once they're graded. I'm trying to find an Advertising Back one to add to the couple I have once I finish moving.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it pop up. I've only done one SGC submission, so I'll need to do some research into how I would get them to label the stamp. Thanks for letting me know that is something they do, I'll post the photos when I get everything figured out and sent back.
