just picked these 4 up today


Larry - Nice SLer's !

Edited to add, I have always liked "the bat" in the Rockenfeld card. Bottle Bat barrel, Hollow Point end with wrapping paper string (yarn) around the handle. One of the more illustrated bat's on a T card.

[lharri3600]

Larry - Nice SLer's !

1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings photo disc. From this year's REA. Not real sure about the nature of this item? It looks like, and is the right size for a pin (1 1/2 inches in diameter). But the image is printed on thin cardstock/thick paper, and there is no evidence of any type of pin attachment on the reverse. Surrounded by a metal ring. According to the auction writeup, this is the only one they have ever seen, yet it was clearly manufactured and not homemade. Proud to own it - finally have something card-like and period for the HOFer George Wright!

[bcbgcbrcb]

Very nice pick-up, Ken. Congrats!

[tonyk1975]

Added another to my American Beauty Back Project

Yeah, what is that? Maybe some sorta giveway, or something. Simply a GREAT item tho. Congrats on that pickup!!

[triwak]

Thanks, Phil and Scott. :)

[Anthony S.]

Just arrived - after the UPS guy took a 30 minute break right outside my window to read the paper. Kinda like that old ketchup commercial with the "Anticipation" soundtrack.

[deadballera]

Nice Cy Young....after waiting with anticipation from the UPS driver taking his break.

[t206hound]

I had my eye on that one, but it was too rich for me (and ended while I was in Vegas). Awesome card, though.

Picked this up at the Aberfoyle antique market today.

As in the Aberfoyle Antique Market near Guelph, Ontario, or is there another?

Either way, cool piece.

Regards,

Richard.

[Bicem]

Awesome piece Tony, bet it looks great on display!

[deebro041]

Yes Richard, on Brock Road north. Have you been there?

[quinnsryche]

All came in yesterday's mail.

[cdn_collector]

Yes Richard, on Brock Road north. Have you been there?

I've driven by dozens of times, and always figure that *some* day I'll stop in, but it hasn't happened yet. Over the summer I have visions of redesigning my office to have a baseball decor, though, so maybe your post will inspire me to finally stop and take a look around...

Regards,

Richard.

[tbob]

Almost done with the large letter variation P-2 pins and the Domino Disc set.

I picked up a Hooker! ;) Knocked this one off my National "hit list" early.


Amazing piece Tony! Being from Ohio, I really enjoy seeing items related to the Polar Bear tobacco.

Thanks Robert :D

[tonyo]

my first "pick-up" post.

This may have been my most diverse mail day ever, so thought I'd post them.
T206's are from Adam's recent BST...He finally broke down and sold some of them to me!

[GrayGhost]

Not in hand yet, but on its way to Connecticut soon.;). Courtesy of JRog007, comes this awesome type card for my mini group.:)

[jb217676]

Got this one from Gary Chen. A tough player for me to find!

[leftygrove10]

This arrived in the mail yesterday.... It appears to have a different back than my other Eclipse Imports... Could there be three different back variations of these cards? Dan?

[sox1903wschamp]

Nice E96 Scotty! Looks like it was dipped in caramel. I think it adds character to the card :). And Nice haul Robert Dixon. Very nice cards.

I liked these unc/strip/notebook cards of Lord and Carrigan.

[Jacklitsch]

Picked up the Brown (5th card from the left) today off the Wantlist thread Brad started.

Two to go. Riedy and Boyce to complete the horizontal subset.

[GrayGhost]

Replacing my "lost Diamond star" typecard w a Yankee:p

[Big Six]

I shared this card a couple months back when I picked it up raw...just got it back from PSA and was pleasantly surprised how well it graded out! I must add that I'm rarely "pleasantly surprised" any time I get cards back from PSA...

Thanks Michael! I love the caramel stains on it as well :)


Very nice Lord & Carrigan, loving the old school Boston logo on the unis! Where did you buy those from?

[TexasLeaguer]

Nice cards guys. I especially like the Lefty Grove card a few posts back. Here's a few I picked up recently.

[E93]

Tony,
The Polar Bear is an amazing piece!

Robert,
Nice E93s! The Wiltse is REALLY tough to find centered.

Hi Scotty, The Lord and Carrigan were from the recent Legendary auction and were part of a larger lot and (shameless plug) I will probably be putting the other 6 on the B/S/T soon :).

Busy month for me. Here is a Duffy Ferguson Bakery and an E120 Pennock.

[Tom S.]

This V100 was a B/S/T purchase (thanks Jim!)...

Ah Erick,

the Cobb(in your possession), the one with his name held high, supersedes all.

New additions:

Flick isn't pretty but he will have to do for now! Actually he looks much better in person, I think the scan makes him look fat.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Nice pick-ups, Dan!

This is the second Lundgren/Chicago with Howe's stamp that I have been able to acquire. There is one more I know of, I just need to wrestle it away from the current owner.

Thanks to everyone for letting me know when they see one. I appreciate the help.

[joeadcock]

Flick cool E107 image.

[molen]

Nothing fancy or special, but as a relative newbie, I was pretty excited to pick up my first horizontal which also happens to have a "scarce" back.

[bobbvc]

Any opinions on the signature welcome....

[Bicem]

secretarial signed, just like the auction indicated.

From the recent Mile High Auction:

[joeadcock]

Val

I see another nice looking Johnson added to your collection

[ValKehl]

Joeadcock - Thanks for the kind comment! This is my first WaJo "fix" for 2011. I was the under-bidder on the M101-4 herpolsheimer WaJo in the recent REA Auction, but this one was more affordable.
Best, Val

[bobbvc]

secretarial signed, just like the auction indicated.

I stopped taking auction write-ups seriously when this was described as a reversed negative.

[Bicem]

uh ok, well I'm sure the auction house got it right this time, can't think of many who would describe a Wagner signature as secretarial signed if there was ANY chance that it was legit.

Also... that postcard was on ebay for awhile and the seller is a big JSA/SGC user, yet that card never found it's way into a JSA/SGC holder.

Many years ago I saw the same card described as Wagner writing to a local kid who was picked up by a LOW level minor Lg. team. It's an odd one to be sure....

[Bicem]

yes, just b/c the signature is not Hans himself, does not mean that it's not still a very cool and tough pc.

[t206hound]

1909 Obak set....finished!

Many thanks to Dan S. for contacting me about this last card. And when I enter my dotage, and am having a difficult time remembering what year this set was issued...bam, somebody wrote it right there on the front of the card. Win-win.

[wonkaticket]

Anthony that is great!!!!!!! Way to go great looking set.

Congratulations on completing your Obak set. I bet they look sweet all laid out. Even the backs on those 09s are awesome with the Old English look.
Nice Accomplishment

Grader was VERY generous on this one, as you can tell from the upper left corner being quite soft.

[teetwoohsix]

Thanks Ed W., slowly but surely.....:)
* My scanner sucks in general, but it scans the BVG slabs so bad I have to take a photo of those instead.

Thank You, Alan, John and Ben (for the W575-1s). The scanner is going through a bit of a Salvador Dali phase in its sizing:

[Leon]

Finally, a real blank back SL'er for the back set....not great condition but will do the job!!

[Orions father]

A few more for my 1920's Speaker collection.

Congrats, Leon. I saw that Fritz blank back two minutes after he listed it, but had purchased so many cards recently that I hemmed and hawed for the next 10 minutes until it was gone. The price was definitely right.

I hear ya Anthony. I hemmed and hawed for about 2 minutes then hit the BIN.....

Leon - Great pick up ! SL Blank Backs are super tough to come by...

Recent pick up just back from SGC :

[AK11]

I hopefully found the one T206 card I forever want in my collection. It is a beautiful card for being a century old :

Some recent additions to the T206 team master set that I hope to accomplish....the Davis was found last weekend at the monthly Cincinnati show, and the Duffy cards were eBay purchases.

[nolemmings]

This W573 has the widest side borders I've ever seen, by far, which made me "gotta have it".

My scanner's iffy, so this one came from ebay.

This is the closest thing that I have seen to a traditional Negro League HOF'er card (not a postcard, photo, etc.) as it pictures Martin Dihigo in his Hilldale uniform (hard to tell from the scan), where he played from 1929-31. Every other Negro League HOF'er card that I know of pictures the player in his Cuban, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, etc. League uniform.

Picked this one up on ebay... my first "name on top" Tolstoi.

Interesting looking Dihigo card

[Rob D.]

Thanks to Rob Gutheil for this one. It's worth mentioning that Rob and I reached a deal after just a few e-mails. He didn't quote SMR, a price listed in VCP from six years ago, etc., nor did he try to squeeze every last possible nickel out of me. And he didn't ask that payment be made via PayPal gift or that I kick in $5 for shipping. A very refreshing break from what seemingly has become the norm. Thanks again, Rob.

[Kawika]

Didn't he at least tell you what he had into it?

[refz]

picked this Chase t213-2 Buf Portrait up thus finishing the Buffalo type 2 Hal Chase subset.

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Matt:

[milkit1]

nice cards danny!@

[calvindog]

Awesome.

[JamesGallo]

No idea why I bought this card. I really don't like the set, but it was too weird and he price was right.

Someone must of had a rough night before this card was printed.

Bruce! You should start a quarterly pick-up thread

[Bicem]

Nice pc Bruce!

(although low grade and a HOFer not really your MO)

[tbob]

Picked up 14 Domino Discs from Leland's Auction as I near completion of this set. Here's 4 of them.

[djrhanover]

Just received from Dan Studebaker. Very typical of the kind of cards I like to collect - lower grade (and affordable) but presents well and has great eye appeal. Small patch of paper loss on reverse brings the grade down. I now only need one more card (Anson) to complete the N28 set.

Steve:

WOW, that Bresnahan has a huge top border without taking away from the bottom border, which appears to be normal sized.

[tbob]

Steve- if you ever have any interest in selling the Hippo Vaughn, please let me know.

I usually shy away from strange looking prewar cards but I coudn't resist this one, a 3-D Cracker Jack :D

[Bicem]

nice! very cool CJ.

[joeadcock]

Steve

Cool Cobb

Thanks for your help

[t206hound]

Yeah Steve, nice Cobb. When you get tired of it, let me know. He'd look great in my office framed with his "Bat On" cousin.

Great card. If there were ever a card deserving of a double qualifier, that would be it....Looks awesome though..

[quinnsryche]

T3's just back from PSA. I am soooooooo pleased they both got 5's. Clark goes in the HOF'er collection:D, Merkle may have to be sold to pay off other purchases:(:confused:, Dean and Jennings were B/S/T purchases.

[scotty21690]

Here is what I got in today, thanks to Peter Baldes for the smooth transaction.

Ended June with with deal with Cozmo Kramer (Eric) upgrading my very trimmed N172 Hamilton with a PSA5. Image is a little light but is actually nicer (a little darker) than the scan. Thanks Eric!
