June Pick Up Thread

[ullmandds]

I was very pleased to add these 2 tough miller fieldings to my collection...I'm now up to 10 diff backs.

[tbob]

Nice cards Peter!
I picked these up last night in the Legendary Auction. I remember buying packs from the 1959 boxes when I was a little kid.

[wonkaticket]

Wow, Peter very nice. Tbob love the e cards.

Cheers,

John

Another month, another Diaz

Thanks Will

[atx840]

Very cool Pete...any scans of the entire run?

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank you, William:

[ullmandds]

Chris...I do not...I don't have the capability unfortunately?!?!:confused:

[x2drich2000]

Peter, I thought you would be going after that blank back. You have an impressive run on that Miller fielding card.

I just got this in a few days ago, my first Wagner. Only two more cards to go for the set (Plank & Cobb).

Two crazy-tough HOFers on ONE card. (Lovin' the photo bomb guy, just behind Rube)! Happy Saturday, Gents!!

Nic photo PC

Would love to have been there at photo shoot. Cool pic.

[z28jd]

It's not old, though it does look old. I had to buy one just to see them and for $7.95 I'm really happy with it, nice quality. Combo of a Buchner/Old Judge card. Compared to those Helmar cards, this was a steal! I wrote the seller with some player suggestions, so maybe I will get some of those rare Old Judge cards that are out of my price range and never show up anyway :)

[sox1903wschamp]

Love those E98's Mike.

[CW]

I am pretty happy with this one.


Nice Cobb bat off! Looking for one of those myself. Cool card.

[Tanman7baseball]

:D:D:D Finally got my last Matty card for the t205 & t206 sets. Time to move on to the other sets!! Let me know if anyone wants to sell their Matty items :)

I was just looking at that seller and his items a few days ago. I don't know that I would ever buy one, but they do look cool for the $7.95 starting bid. The seller originally came up for me in an "Ed Delahanty" search. Looking at the sold auctions, the cards do seem pretty popular. They seem like a neat item for players like Delahanty, who appear on no cheap cards dating to his playing career.

[t206hound]

thanks to Doug and AG for the three party transaction; able to add these two to move to 378:

Beautiful card Dave!

[RCMcKenzie]

Nothing unique but a nice T213 Coupon.

I had to keep my max bids in the 80% range as I knew there were bidders that drop wild max bids on these. I was able to get Wiltse NY port and more to fill spaces. Halfway to the set now.

[honus94566]

Beautiful card Dave!

Thanks!

Incredible piece John! What did I tell you about those larger display pieces :D

That's a cool A&G ad piece.

Here are a couple from REA. An n172 and a Van Dyke card (cabinet size, but not a cabinet, a card meant for mass-production...

Very nice Athletics card w/Wilbert Robinson.

Yes, agreed....and a MUCH skinnier Robinson at that! :)

[WillowGrove]

Wonkaticket - that poster is amazing! Is it in as good condition as it looks? Those things are pretty brittle. I love it.

And Ken, great negro league PC. I wonder if the dude in the back knew he'd be called a photo bomber 100 years later?

Here's my June acquisition. I always admired JOhn M. Ward and thought he must have been a real smart, well rounded guy. Pitcher, Shortstop, Lawyer, HOFer. Nice career.

[Bicem]

Now this is a great piece! I love these tailor ads. So far the best pickup in this thread IMO. I have the Matty Royal, it's truly spectacular.

Postcard or page from book?

[Pythonfactory]

Excited to add these to the collection. I think the blue text of the T-213's is aesthetically superior to the T-206's black font. And the Ewing/Mascot is, in my humble opinion, one of the most unique OJ's. Thanks to a board member for it!

[h2oya311]

great pick-ups so far this month!

This is my first "legit" Ruth card, although it certainly wouldn't classify as a "rookie card" as it was issued in 1920!!

I was looking at Ruth's stats today...how in the world did he leg out 16 triples in 1921?? Was the defense that shoddy, was he that fast, or were the parks that much larger? That season he had a whopping 44 doubles, 16 triples, AND 59 home runs to go with his 177 runs and 171 RBI's! It's amazing to think that he almost scored as many runs as he knocked in over his career...was it the product of a great lineup behind him or his blazing speed?? He did steal 17 bases that season. Just sayin'.

[triwak]

Derek - love the vibrant colors on that Ruth.
Peter - That Newsboy cab of Ward is fantastic!!

[joeadcock]

Peter nice Ward cabinet. Great find. Also, like the postcards.

Those type 3 coupon cigarettes are expensive! In only 5 years, they went up 250% in price (when compared to type 2).

Beautiful card =)

[RCMcKenzie]

Great find, Chris.

[Matthew H]

RC, nice pick-up on the Crogan, I wanted that one too!

[RCMcKenzie]

Matt, thanks. I was looking for OJ cards that pictured players who at one time played for Houston. Crogan played for the 1890 Houston Mudcats along with Charles Krehmeyer. From what I've read, Krehmeyer is very difficult. If I get ready to get rid of the Crogan I will let you know.

[wonkaticket]

Congrats Chris great card.

Nice cards - Our collecting interest overlap on several types. ;)

Rob - I also collect OJ players that played in Nashville & Krehmeyer played in Nashville as well. He's impossible as I believe there are either 1 or 2 known of his California League card. Have you figured out how many Houston OJ players there might be ? (I have the Nashville count at 27 players)

Picked up this little jewel after patiently waiting 2 years to get it at the right price -

[tlwise12]

Glad to see this one arrive....

[joeadcock]

Very nice Travis

[z28jd]

Saw this on Ebay and took a chance on it being legit since I couldn't find another like it. Worked out well. T206 Lord with reddish/brown background at the bottom. Not sure how it got like that since they are usually just all blue. The red/brown goes into the shadows on the uniform too, usually it is grey, although the grey is still there too. Maybe someone was having fun at the t206 factory, who knows. I'm probably going to sell it because I don't trust the unknown, reeks of evil

[RCMcKenzie]

Great cabinet team card, Travis.

On the purple in the T206, since the other main color in the uniform is red, maybe the red mixed with the blue background.

Jeremy, to answer your question about Houston players in n172, I believe I have found four, need to check my notes, but I have only recently begun researching early Houston baseball. I have a few team photos from late 40's early 50's. The oldest Houston team piece I have is a new arrival, a 1931 Houston Buffs team photo featuring Dizzy Dean, Tex Carelton and Ducky Medwick.

Just sayin'.

Ruth did have good speed when he was young. He only became the big-bellied slugger that most people are familiar with late in his career.He also played home games in the Polo Grounds, which had a massive centerfield. I think that in 1921 it was over 500 feet to dead center, and due to its unique configuration it was the widest centerfield ever.
I don't have a better way of describing the Polo Grounds. You should try to find a picture of it to really understand how unusual it was.
As for your card, what is up with Ruth throwing righthanded?

[dlfallen]

Ruth's early speed:

In the fifth game of the 1921 World Series, Ruth led off the fourth inning with a bunt single. He scored on Muusel's double to left field.

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up my tenth C46 Imperial Tobacco catcher, Wells, Jersey City Skeeters. Need just Hardy and Mitchell now.

Finally was able to pick up this nice example which often can have registration issues. This one is a real beauty...classic pose.


Patrick

[CW]

^^^ I agree, Patrick -- very nice image on that card!

Added what is likely the best conditioned T206 to the collection, although it sits in a PSA 5 holder due to some light printing on the reverse (that's my guess, at least)...

Looks like your Walter Johnson M116 probably came from a Sporting Life Advertising Poster.

Neat item!

[Cerberus]

........as is my preference, I've nonetheless waited a long time to get one of these, with the correct tax stamp, at a reasonable price. Now, to buy a companion card for my display.

To many others in June (joeadcock, D@ve R1cks, RCMcKenzie, Bryan, Matt Hall, Alan Elefson, and especially Paul on the Deacon White), great looking OJs! And John, what a fantastic looking Allen & Ginter poster.

Joe--the photo is Williamson, but it is a really interesting card. Poor Cap, if he doesn't pick up Dalrymple's torso in Anson in Uniform he gets Williamson's portrait in his Yum Yum.

Mr. Sadler ... awesome front/ back combos!

Congrats!

[frankh8147]

I just picked up this W517 Hornsby with a pretty clear ghost image on the back. The ghost image was actually a surprise, I won this card on Ebay and the seller didn't have a picture of the back in the auction so I was very pleasantly surprised.

[z28jd]

Picked this color shift up from Erick Summers on the BST. I love the fact you can see the little yellow spot further down the border. That's some detail they went through to make sure that tiny area under his left arm also got the yellow treatment

[queencitysportscards]

Just got this one back today from SGC...making progress for my Cincy set!

Compliments of Mike Healer, Thanks Mike

3 HoFer's from the same infield on a single card with two artistic portraits and 1 action shot? Yes please!

And maybe I'm crazy but Chance looks like Brad Pitt with that squinty stare.

Lastly, another shout out for Mike Healer. Thanks again!

[Mikehealer]

Jerry and Bryan thanks for the smooth transactions and glad you like the cards.

Here are a few that I've picked up lately. These Coupons are going to be the downfall of me.

You're probably right Pete, I'm always a little late to the party.

[ullmandds]

don't feel bad...my crystal ball's broken too!

[Tim Kindler]

Mike those Coupons are Fantastic! Vibrant Colors! Too bad there weren't discount coupons to buy Coupons!:D

Tim

[Mikehealer]

Thanks Tim, the colors really are vibrant, more so than their t206 cousins at least in my eyes.

[T206Collector]

I've been enjoying an old passion of mine - '33 Goudeys. Just picked this one up on ebay. Gomez was the first pre-war card I ever owned. Bought an offgrade one for fifty cents in 1989. Sold it for $15 a few years later. Nice to have this clean example back in my collection...

Looked at your postwar stuff: Like the 71 Ryan black cards. Damn hard to get those in high grade.
Jordan 9 and Griffed 10's and a Ripiekn rookkiie 10. Very nice.

Picked up a Polar Bear back T205 Meyers which brings my back run to six. Just need a nice Cycle example to complete the run. I'm not going to get the factory variations. Here are the front and backs so far.

Thank you, Fred:

[LKeeler]

New to the forum, but I wanted to post a couple of my more recent pick ups to this thread. I sure enjoy seeing all of the various acquisitions that are posted so thank you. Mine obviously aren't great yard sale finds, unique oddities, or fresh back from grading, but I wanted to share them with the board members. A good chunk of you have already seen them, and even voiced your thoughts on one of them! ;)

[MBMiller25]

Very nice pickups. I love that Cobb card, Hope to own that card one day myself.

[smtjoy]

Awesome cards everyone! Way to start with a bang Luke, amazing cards, 2 of my all time favorites!

Here are a couple misc pickups-

This M101-6 pickup I am really liking, love the old photo feel and background, the resolution on the card is one of the sharpest I have seen too-

Nice CJ Cobb & Jackson !

Thanks! 30 years in the making :D

Luke - I think you did very well on the Jax and the Cobb is simply beautiful...

Luke - I think you did very well on the Jax and the Cobb is simply beautiful...

Thanks Steven. The Jax definitely has some flaws, but it just had too much eye appeal to pass on.

[glchen]

Those are beautiful cards, Luke. I definitely wish I could add those some day...

Edited: Don't want to leave out the other Matt. The Cobb and Matty T206's are awesome as well. Nice way to start out your prewar life.

You're on the home stretch! T206s just seem to look "right" in VG grades, and those are nice for the grade.

Great cards above. Congratulations.

Sick card...nicest "poor" I've ever seen! Who looks at the back of their "blank back" cards anyway??

[cyseymour]

Awesome Babe Ruth rookie card. Looks gorgeous! Congrats.

[MattyC]

Thanks. The grading game can sure be downright silly; when it came I eyed it for so long, and then after many minutes I finally remembered to look at the back, lol!

I can't believe how grading works sometimes, for example when you look at what a 90-10 OC, creased, stained PSA/SGC 2 or 3 can cost.

To me it is all and always about eye appeal. After all, when it's just a collector and his card, he's looking at the card, at the image-- not some number some random dude put on it ;)

[yanksfan09]

Great Cracker Jacks plus a Ruth Rookie and a d304 Cobb. Quite the month here on the board. Congrats!

Nice pickups everyone.

Picked up these eight commons this month.

Nothing spectacular but the T207 Block is one of the keys to the set because it is so scarce so I always pick one up when it is offered (Cardboard Classic auction) and a T213-2 Mowrey Pittsburgh.

Other Sean, nice Evers. I've always liked that card. :)
How many more do you need to finish the Cubs subset?

[milkit1]

Hi sean!
Need about ten to complete my sons cubs set but if I do all sovereigns then I still need about 22 more lol paid pretty well for that one but I'm beginning to think the 150 series sovereigns are rarer then people have thOught so I'm glad to pick it up for the price of a grade better.

Hi matt!
That would most likely be fred merkle as I assume it would be a giant and not a highlander. Interstingly it does kind of resemble chase which makes me wonder if they stole a chase photo (like one of the many from the t202s) and just changed the teams.

[Sean]

I agree about the Sovereign 150s. I've been looking everywhere but can't seem to find a Merkle portrait with a Sov 150.

Good luck with the Cubs.

[novakjr]

Just a small pickup. But it's a type that I didn't have, and also a rookie year item of a hall of famer.. Not that I'm a type-collector, but I like having a variety within my HOF rookie collection.. PeeWee Distarce obviously adds to the appeal.. No Hall of Fame rookie collection is complete without a midget racer...

Nice Mize rookie, David

Nice pickup, Sean! Always good to see a Sovereign...and even better in Cubbie Blue!

I get pretty happy when these pop up missing pieces. Been slowly picking these up for about 4 years now.. The dismembered die-cuts are a nice cheap 19th century side-project. Thought I would be able to knock off the last 2 that I needed tonight, but got outbid on the Baltimore one. One more to go. Maybe one day I'll upgrade the others to one's with heads.:D

[Joe_G.]

Toby & Bruce, nice pick-ups!

Many thanks to John D. (& Matt H.) for allowing me to obtain a nice copy of Gaffney. The Kelly was a pick-up from long ago and will have to do until a nicer image surfaces. "Honest John" Gaffney & "Honest John" Kelly were acting as managers in 1887 but both considered to be amongst the best umpires of their time. They were both asked to umpire the 1887 World Championship between Detroit and St. Louis; Gaffney being from the NL, Kelly from the AA. The two umpire system was first tried the year before during the Championship series between Chicago and St. Louis and was deemed a success (one behind the plate, the other behind second base). They both did well throughout the 15 game Championship and received consistent praise by both teams and the press. When Detroit won the Dauvray Cup and associated pins, Gaffney himself would be a recipient.

[Joe_G.]

Thank you Toby, a fabulous Conway. The back is butchered, but it looks awesome where it counts.

Nothing flashy, but it was a cheapie, so I figured the '39 Wheaties would make a nice supplement to my rookie collection for Cummings...

And the Chandler stamp. I picked up the full stamp set a while back(right after Leon pointed them out). Just hadn't gotten around to posting it..

Erick, excellent addition. I'm curious, do you have or do you know of a Merkle throwing with an EPDG back? T206resource says not confirmed and I've been looking, but so far no luck.

[HercDriver]

This beauty came via an OBC compadre in a wager of my Blackhawks against his Red Wings! Not only did Freddie give the Cubs a pennant, he may yet play a part in Chicago's drive for the Stanley Cup as well! We'll miss the Wings in the West next year...always a great game between those two teams!

Take Care,
