October Pickup Thread...

[jb217676]

It's late, I'm tired, perfect time to post a card of the notorious "Sleepy" Bill Burns (Ol' Sleepy couldn't even get his glove on properly). Thanks Larry!

[Ohio_Collectibles]

First pickup of October (actually a last day of Sept Pickup)

[Anthony S.]

So psyched to FINALLY find this card as a Topps T206 Buy Back. Been looking for years. Thanks to Wonka for pointing it out.

[tjb1952tjb]

Been looking for a decent '41 Play Ball Eddie Miller for some time. Thought this would have graded at least a PSA5. The centering is spot on, and the color/registration is superb. The reverse is spotless, centered, with very bold, black type. I'll keep looking, but I'm very happy with this card in the meantime.

[lharri3600]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, Anthony. According to haulsofshame.com your Wonka McDonald T206 was one of the items taken in a burglary at the home of collector Lionel Carter a few years back. (Is the FBI reading?) I feel your pain, brah.

[Big Six]

Just got back from a trip to South Carolina and this was waiting for me..."Gus" Suhr...

[nebboy]

1 Grand Slam pick-up just in
2 Ralph this is the buyback that didn't get away

[Yankeefan51]

A tip top victory, indeed.

Tom- that's funny, because every time I see the T206 Otey I think of Eddie Murphy too. Guess I'm not the only one.:)

No chance it's stolen, David. I bought it from a former white rapper with financial problems in the New York Public Library broom closet.

Nice pick-up, Bruce.

i have been out of the hobby for almost 20 years after getting burned on a card advertised in SCD. i used to think i had a nice collection and knew a lot about T206 until i discovered this site a few weeks ago. you folks are amazing with your collections and your knowledge.

i think i caught the T206 fever again. Back in the hobby for only 2 weeks, but it has been a pretty good 2 weeks. Thanks to my wife Jeanette for giving me Gaspar and Davis as a gift.

Very nice pickup on the Tip Top Matthews, Bruce. I was the penultimate bidder; sorry I ran you up.

Nice Sovereign haul, Robert. Are you working on a Sov. set?

Thanks Jason. I'm not working on a Sov. set, but I am working on a low grade set with particular attention to the backs. So far half of my cards are Sovereign, but I really just want a nice mix of different backs.

Nice card, Bob! I have a lower-grade McGinnity from this set (I think it is SGC 20) - they are tough cards in mid-to-high grade.

Must be a story behind that statement. My advice is: Be careful. You're running out of auction houses! :D:D:D

Grab bag of items that have fallen into my greedy little hands in the past while (courtesy of eBay, Goodwin, Mears etc):

Trying to collect the 1928 SF Seals roster. Mishkin is a tough card.
Also trying to put together an Obak sub-set of Vancouver and Victoria players. Ward was the last Victoria Bee I needed, another toughie.

http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika/bbbofsfirstclass/holygrailcards/websize/28ZN%20Mishkin.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika/bbbofsfirstclass/holygrailcards/websize/1911%20Obak%20Ward.jpg

Picked up this Mono from Goodwin as a typecard.

Another typecard, my first E99, second-string Seals shortstop Harry McArdle. Love the floating head effect.
Looks like everyone else here has a Grignon Mordecai Brown postcard so I thought I should have one too.

Lastly, some photos I scored from eBay and Mears, respectively.
A classic out at the plate shot, umpire Jim Boyer working a Senators game in 1950.
And, the very first thing that ever dazzled me in a major league ballyard once upon a time long ago, the Chesterfield sign in centerfield at the Polo Grounds. A Hit!

Nice stuff, Dan & Congrats on the addition to the family as well!

[T206Collector]

Fell short on the Cobb, but picked up this nice consolation prize at a mere fraction of the price -- and it's my first signed pre-war card of a player from T206 that I don't also have on a T206:

[Anthony S.]

It ain't pretty, but Coy knocks the 1909 Obak hunt down to a scant 3 cards to go. If you have Speas, Willett, or J Williams and are interested in naming my first born (really, any name is fine -- doesn't even need to have a vowel), let me know.

Just back from SGC. This was a really tough one, very happy to cross it off my want list.

Charles Marquard and SGC validated that?

Mislabeled fronts can be nice - both these are tough in VG or better.

Interesting Temple Cup item

[soxinseven]

A recent Ebay pickup......

[tbob]

Wow, Mike! Did you get that Wingo for a Recruit price? Tough, tough card and with a Napoleon back. Definitely a great card. :eek:

[margoaepi]

Recently got taken up by the monster and got these four in the mail today. Gotta love it.

[tbob]

Thanks Dan for helping me getting closer to completing this set!

[frohme]

things work out.

Wow, Mike! Did you get that Wingo for a Recruit price? Tough, tough card and with a Napoleon back. Definitely a great card. :eek:

Many thanks, Bob! The prices were fair overall, and in line with Recruit pricing. The Nap back made it definitely worthwhile!

I was fortunate enough to get these off of eBay for cheap...

[tlwise12]

Thanks to eBay, Jason, and Anthony...

[brass_rat]

Recent pickups...at least they were *scanned* in October. :D
The AB came from Legendary Auctions in August, the Coupon came from Joe's Vintage Sports Cards.

Have a good one,

Nice pick-up Anthony, that's one of the really tough OJ HOF'ers

[Shoeless Moe]

Just picked this up on Ebay for a decent price Best Offer ($375)....I only wish the stain on the card was more fully on his pants, would have added a certain character to his uniform.

My Diamond Star collection is picking up steam...whoever said this would become addicting was correct...

I love flea markets. These are definitely not in mint condition, but, what the hey. Thank You, CJ and Justin (OT):

An antique shop pickup:

[tjb1952tjb]

Michael,

Very nice '41 Play Ball. It looks like it should have been graded higher than PSA 6. Are there any issues that are not apparent in your photo? I have a PSA 7 of the same card and yours appears nicer.

[ullmandds]

those dicks are impressive!

[Matthew H]

Many thanks to B&L for the quick shipping, it makes me feel bad for taking a week to send payment. :o

Hi Tim,

The blank back has a thin slight scratch that probably reduced the overall grade to a 6 which is the reason I jumped at this one as I would put the front up against any 7 or 7.5. Thanks for the compliment.

Michael

[tbob]

Appears to be much better than the grade. Detroit is a fairly tough one to pick up. Now I just need the Boston NL to complete the set.

[B O'Brien]

Very happy to add some nice stuff this month:

EPDG Marquard to finish off the trio with odd backs
Hindu Lajoie Port to finish off the trio
SOV 150 Young needed some green in the box
Broad Leaf 350 Kelley, because I did not expect to win it!

Take care,
Bob

In observance of my thousandth post on the new board presented are a few more odds and ends that are fresh off the boat in Hawaii.

I'm almost POSITIVE this card features Shoeless Joe . . .

Doggone it! I wondered who edged me out on that Leard! Oh well, if I had to lose it, glad it was to you David.
Thanks Steve M. for the nice Baltimore players to add to my C46 set:

[gabrinus]

Thanks to Trobba for the T213-3s and Valkehl for the D303 Fromme.

[TexasLeaguer]

Here's a couple I picked up...

[rhettyeakley]

I picked up the large version to go with the small version I already had. It seems to me I see more of the large version than the small which is not what one expects with the 1911 variations...
