O/T Walter Johnson T206 Pick Up

[Nate Colbert 17]

To date, this is the only Polar Bear Walter Johnson Hands at Chest card graded by SGC. (I am sure PSA has graded one, but they don't break down their population report by backs.)

Now at 513 of 524 (97.9)

Has this board gone that far into Prospector-Screwball-dom that a T-206 should be labeled as "O/T"?

WOW !! Great pick-up

 

[cgilmo]

this thread is definitely not OT

Incredible pickup Scott!

That is in no way OT, though.

Awesome pickup Scott!

Does your % include the big 4?

 

[Craig - 21hawk]

Holy cow, Scott. That is a HUGE addition to the set. Congrats, and keep it up!

1) I have been busy going back to school (teacher certification) and haven't been around the board that much recently (no big loss as far as the board is concerned, I'm sure.)

2) The reason I labeled it O/T was because there is also a Vintage card topic.

3) It's the Big Train!

4) I am down to the four Cobbs, "different team" players, printing errors, and the "Big Four".

Not true. Not true at all.

Right, now if Craig were to stop posting... well, that'd be a different story.

Great, great, card. I have often thought about picking one up as his pseudo-Twins connection.

Hmmm....well until a couple of weeks ago I hadn't been around for several months, yet I still got the occassional email from you. Interesting....

That is a very nice card! And to think that you have nearly 98 % of arguably the most recognizable baseball card set to ever be made.............well thats just insane! Congrats on the hard work!


Now, what are your plans as far as picking up the other cards? I am sure its gonna be a bit pricey to get the last ones you need!

...very nice Scott......I assume Polar Bear refers to the back of the card (actually just googled it and see that is the case).

Amazing- The Big Train!!!

Those cards are incredible. Congrats on your success. Makes me want to go out and pick up an 1887 old judge..

 

[jay1065]

Whoa. I saw this on the vintage board, but didn't notice it had a PB back. Way to go! Polar Bear is my favorite of all the back types. Good luck with the rest!

Great pick-up, by the way. Anytime time I can see a vintage/HOF thread vs. a prospect thread, it's all good.
