Thanks, Scott! Its from the 1909-10 E97 C. A. Briggs Co. set. I'd like to find the B&W proof version of Mcconnell's to go along with this one, but they are super tough.

No kidding about the McConnell collection. Let's see....what else do we need....

Re: OFFICIAL- Vintage Pickup Thread.

I'm having a hard time focusing on MY collecting goals when I look at all the super T-cards that are shown.

2 hofers (3000 hit club Collins & best third baseman of the pre-war era - Homerun Baker)

Collins - greatest 2nd baseman of all time!
Edward Trowbridge Collins, Sr. (May 2, 1887 – March 25, 1951), nicknamed "Cocky", was an American second baseman, manager and executive in Major League Baseball who played from 1906 to 1930 for the Philadelphia Athletics and Chicago White Sox. He was the greatest star on the Athletics' "$100,000 infield" which propelled the team to four American League (AL) pennants and three World Series titles between 1910 and 1914, and was named the league's Most Valuable Player in 1914; after that season his contract was sold to the White Sox, and he helped them to capture pennants in 1917 and 1919. At the end of his career, he ranked second in major league history in career games (2,826), walks (1,499) and stolen bases (744), third in runs scored (1,821), fourth in hits (3,315) and at bats (9,949), sixth in on base percentage (.424), and eighth in total bases (4,268); he was also fourth in AL history in triples (187). He still holds the major league record of 512 career sacrifice hits, over 100 more than any other player. He was the first major leaguer in modern history to steal 80 bases in a season, and still shares the major league record of six steals in a game, which he accomplished twice in September 1912. He regularly batted over .320, retiring with a career average of .333. He also holds major league records for career games (2,650), assists (7,630) and total chances (14,591) at second base, and ranks second in putouts (6,526); his total of 1,215 double plays was a record until Charlie Gehringer passed him in 1938. Under the win shares statistical rating system created by baseball historian and analyst Bill James, Collins was the greatest second baseman of all time.

Damn thats three of us - the t202's are such awesome looking cards. If I was aware of them before I embarked on the monster I think they are the set I would be collecting now!

Re: OFFICIAL- Vintage Pickup Thread.

Nice T202, hofautos! Great color on that one.

Re: OFFICIAL- Vintage Pickup Thread.

I agree with the T-202 interest, they are great cards. A bit of a mix of the t-206 with a bonus photo in the middle. Nice!
Nice pickups everyone, here are a few I have received lately but haven't had access to my scanner due to some remodeling. Hope you enjoy!
