MASSIVE one card mailday.....My first RED!!!

[scotty21690]

Err......Turkey Red that is..


I shall let the scan do the talking:

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:


Bill Carrigan 1911 T3 Turkey Red!!!!
[My first, and hopefully not my last!]


Man these are INSANE in person, beautiful cards....I love the ad back on this one. The picture on it is awesome too, I am thrilled about this addition.

$109 dlvd. [Very good price in my eyes, it is crease free and no paper loss...the only minor flaw on the card is the rounded corners but with a 98 year old cabinet that is expected lol.]


Bill Carrigan was a much needed player for my collection as I needed him for my catcher position in my 1910's Red Sox vintage card team. Next up, Tris Speaker and then my team is complete. That will be my next purchase..

Carrigan spent his career catching for the Red Sox from 1906 to 1916 and played in 3 WS with them. He managed [player/manager] them for 4 seasons in the 1910's winning 2 pennants and 2 WS with a W% about .600 He then came back to manage them in the late 1920's when they SUCKED so he didn't have as great sucess that time around, lol. A very solid catcher and he also caught 3 no hitters!

Scotty- nice!! That deserves the cool glasses smiley guy! Congrats! Great pickup.

Thanks Dave! I was very excited about this one.


brokenliz1 - That was the point! I figure this thread might get a bit more attention if they think this may have been a red refractor, being this board is very prospect/BC heavy. Thanks!


ru4scuba - Thank you Chris!....And well may not be shiny but it does the trick for me. :mrgreen:


ALL_THE_HYPE - Thanks Ryan!


bungle77 - Man you don't even know until you have seen one in person! Hard to believe these are made in 1911! :shock:


Russ S. - Thanks Russ!


chashawk - :lol: I may have to try that!


gvsu96 -


oddballer73 - You're telling me! It's funny because these are about 10x the size of a T206 so I feel like I get a lot of bang for my buck


mlbsalltimegreats - Really appreciate the comment, Tony. Since then I have been trying to go for quality over quantity and have also been focusing on early 1900s Red Sox cards and am very content on where my PC is now.


MaineMule - Thanks Scott, and you got that right...makes todays bats look like toothpicks.

70Chip - Ha, I think I can agree with you on that one, Chip! Thanks man and hope all has been going well with you





I went to the mall today and picked this up at the shop...at one time I had a Bowden auto but traded it and have missed it ever since:

Now I have two Bowden cards, hope he is back up in the bigs later this season
