February Pickups

[teetwoohsix]

I've never started a pickup thread yet, but here goes....these arrived yesterday actually-and I'm pretty excited because it's my first card from the Lionel Carter collection, and also a mini milestone for me with the Monster-#100 & 101 :D Thanks for a great transaction again Michael (BuffettFan)!!

Sincerely, Clayton

[4815162342]

Nice pickups Clayton!

[kkkkandp]

When is a baseball card not a baseball card?

Pretty neat bit of ephemera from my alma mater...

[Leon]

it was a hard fought auction ....

[Brian Van Horn]

I love the dyslexic ad.

[x2drich2000]

Leon, nice pickup, i've been looking for one of them for awhile now. Its lucky for you I found out about some other cards coming up in your next auction :) Does that complete your back run of these?

Ewww...how ukcy!

[Leon]

I thought it was already quite expensive and sort of thought you might be the one......glad it wasn't but not sure it matters. I had a few more increments but still think it was quite high.....

[paleocards]

The owner of my favorite shop called me last week to tell me that a nice collection had walked in his door. He sent me some scans of the cards he thought I'd be interested in, and I immediately knew which one I had to have. This is my first 19th-century HOFer and I'm thrilled it's an N162. To me, the brilliant color lithography of the Goodwins and the Allen & Ginters are so much more attractive than the often washed-out sepia photography of the N172 Old Judges. Anyway, here's my "newest" 126-year-old baseball card, enjoy!

After several years of looking, finally found a Dahlen :)

[deadballpaul]

Hey Leon, you were fighting me. "Lukcy" for you I already had one :) Not the 1st time you outbid me. You are starting to be my "Newman!" like in Seinfeld. :mad:

[Blunder19]

I was able to add the final T206 back to my cobb run... (I dont count the Cobb back as a T206) Now just missing the Coupon Type 3, T214 Victory and the Cobb back.

I was not sure if I would be a bidder at first.. but after getting a chance to speak with the owner of the card I felt confident the card was authentic. Also Bill Goodwin sent the card back to SGC to be regraded and came back as an authentic blank back again... so that also help put my worries at ease.

Looking forward to receiving the card in hand to check it out for myself.

Here is my new Addition:

[yanksfan09]

Quite the collection of Cobbs there!

[CW]

Very nice, Jamie! Fits in perfectly.

[shernan30]

The Cobb Run is awesome.

Happy to add the complete 1913 Parker Brothers Lajoie game, with board and box included...

[jp1216]

Jamie - so glad you picked up that blank back Cobb! Beauty!

[Jason]

That Cobb is exactly where it should be.Congrats on the sweet pickup.

[Rob D.]

Really awesome that you were able to put aside the concerns you posted about the "blank back" Cobb and pay five figures to add it to your collection.

Well done.

Sorry about that...but just think, next one to the hobby and there might not be any competition!! This market is thin, thin, thin.....*(unlike me)..

[deadballpaul]

I keep thinking the market is thin, but then there's always someone mucking it up:cool:

[pencil1974]

Just made a trade for this one today should get it mid next week. Made the deal with a guy on eBay who happens to be on Net54 as well.

[teetwoohsix]

Nice pickups Clayton!

Thanks Daryl! :) I appreciate it.

Nice pickups everyone!

Great looking N162 with awesome color! My latest E92 Dockman pickup, Mr. Wagner.

[wonkaticket]

What started as just want a few now has me worried I might be getting hooked on these cards...a few more OJ's.:)

Congrats Jamie on the Cobb and your run, well done sir.

Cheers,

John

[BlueSky]

Jamie,

Nice pickup on the Cobb. That Cobb run of yours is outstanding.

Regards,
Marty

[Blunder19]

Thanks guys.. I am certainly very happy with how it has come along.. when I first started I expected no more than 20.. due to the scarcity/cost of about 9 of them... with the blank I am now at 26.. one of the great things about this website is following the progress of collectors projects.... perhaps seeing something someone else has been looking for.. and letting them know... and watching the collections come together..

Looking forward to seeing everyone's Feb pick ups this month.

Steve.. congrats on finding the Dahlen

Brad.. i love that Ruth Postcard..

and John... those OJs are great.... are you getting into OJ's now? is there an agreed checklist for them? how many are in the set? if so it will be fun to follow ur progress here.

[TUM301]

Brad that Ruth P C is beautiful, don`t think I`ve ever seen a Ruth sig. like that. Wow !

[joeadcock]

[pencil1974]

Thanks guys, I gave up two big pieces of my collection to get this but I figure this will be my new centerpiece. I have not seen too many times that he has signed his full name with the nickname. What makes it so cool is the Ruppert signature and the photo of them on the postcard signing the new contract. Sorry I'm a little stoked about having this one.

[kkkkandp]

Geez, John, it's a tough enough market without having to fight another OJ aficionado! Just stick to buying all of Jay's extras! :D

Those three are beauties!

Kevin

[t206blogcom]

Jamie - Awesome Cobb run!! Congrats on the blank back; sweet!

[MattyC]

A much lesser Cobb, but finding one of these without the red color shifted onto the white baseball, right bat, and right basepath of the diamond was a goal of mine.

[the 'stache]

Good God, Jamie. That's an incredible run. :eek: Chapeau on a monster accomplishment! Just curious, do you have a favorite from these? Maybe due to a particular back (or lack thereof).

Brad, I've never seen Ruth sign his full name like that, though admittedly I have only seen about a hundred examples of his signature. I would assume this example represents a rarity. It's just beautiful.

I tell you, every time I see a modern card autographed in some messy scribble, I think about the Babe's auto. Nobody has ever signed more balls and pictures than the Bambino, yet every one of his signatures are aesthetically pleasing. Just something else that leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to modern collectibles. So much seems half-assed and rushed.

Steve, kudos on finally finding your Dahlen. I really understand now why the T3s were voted most beautiful set. They're just breathtaking. I can't imagine looking at one of those in person, and not wanting to buy. Thank you for sharing it.

Paleo, I agree with you that the Goodwins and Allen & Ginters are beautiful. But I like the Old Judges, too, in large part because of the stark contrast between them. There's nothing being made today that resembles the Old Judges, or the Mayo Cut Plugs.

Greg, that's a really sweet Matty. Beautiful eye appeal.

Leon, one of these days when I get out to a Dallas show, I'd love to sit down and talk with you some about your type collection. One of the things my folks got me for Christmas are the type prints from Old Cardboard, and they're framed and on my wall now. Seeing all these different releases is a little overwhelming, to be honest. I think just storing them all would be a logistical nightmare.

[itjclarke]

Starting a collection of fugitives? :)

Fugitive or not, the man is a genius. Cool item for sure

[jbl79]

Happy to pick this one up. Love the colors and the centering for the grade.

[Josh Wolf]

Jamie, congrats again on what truly has been an amazing run.

John, can't wait to see what your run of OJ's will look like when you're done.

Both of you, great work.

Josh

[GregMitch34]

My first Cutlery. "Sharp"? In any case, highest graded. Sucky player but one of the coolest portraits anywhere, in my opinion.

Great looking card Greg!

[kamikidEFFL]

Had the t205 Johnson at one time actually my first tobacco card I ever bought and actually ended up selling it. Great card though

[CW]

Thanks guys, I gave up two big pieces of my collection to get this but I figure this will be my new centerpiece. I have not seen too many times that he has signed his full name with the nickname. What makes it so cool is the Ruppert signature and the photo of them on the postcard signing the new contract. Sorry I'm a little stoked about having this one.

And what an odd setting... outside in the middle of a field? Very cool piece.

That is a sweet piece!

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

I am now up to 90. The latest are all from the BST.

[pencil1974]

It is the actual photo of him signing his 1933 contract with Ruppert as they did it in a park in St. Pete's. Thats what why I thought it was really cool besides the George H Babe Ruth signature that I have to admit I have never seen signed liked that before.

Here is the newspaper clipping for that photo.

[DeadBallEraCubs]

From last nights LOTG auction.

[Steve D]

That's an awesome run of Cobbs, Jamie!

I have to admit, you have me thinking about trying the same thing, albiet perhaps at a smaller scale (one for each manufacturer).

Jamie/Bill,

Thank you very much for the nice words about the Dahlen. It's been pretty frustrating. I've been looking for a Dahlen for a few years now, but they just haven't been showing up. It seems people have been holding on to them in hopes of his making it into the HOF. I just missed a couple others within the past 6 months or so, so I'm very glad to finally get one.

Steve

[MVSNYC]

A lot of Tolstoi's i see are somewhat faded, this one is a very bold example. Also a little WST action on front for Johnny's viewing pleasure. :)

[Joe_G.]

What started as just want a few now has me worried I might be getting hooked on these cards...a few more OJ's.:)

Cheers, John

John, nice pick-ups from Goodwin. I was watching the Wiedman myself as an upgrade but opted to be happy with what I have. There were some amazing nice cards. I really liked the Foutz Brownie (apparently someone else did as well) and the Macullar was a great card (nice appearing, tough card).

When is a baseball card not a baseball card?

Pretty neat bit of ephemera from my alma mater...

Pretty neat pass, would look even better in purple ;)

I would like to thank Kevin for helping me get one step closer to finishing a run on Manning. First four poses down, two more to go. Kevin traded a Manning for a Manning to help me out. Thank you Jay & Cambridge collection for allowing me to obtain acceptable trade material.

I know it's not a card but i just received The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin and Company (1886-1890) that purchased on Amazon. I don't (yet) collect the cards from this era but this is still an amazing book for anyone interested in vintage cards.

Nice pick up Jerry. That's a tough card to find centered with nice registration. Congrats!!

[ValKehl]

As you all may be aware by now, one of my collecting focuses is Sam Rice cards, all backs/variations. Due to my early-Alzheimer's-like memory, I managed to acquire two E121/80 cards with Type 1 Reverse backs. A few weeks ago, in a thread re E121/80 backs, another Board member showed his Rice card with a Type 2 back. So, I contacted him, and he very kindly agreed to do a trade with me. Are Net 54 Board members great folks, or what?!! Bill, again I say, MANY THANKS!

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=131365&stc=1&d=1391522518

[buymycards]

I have been looking for one of these for the past two years and I ended up finding three of them. I put a T213-2 next to one of the T82's for comparison. The T82 is slightly wider and taller than a T213.

Rick

[Bugsy]

Not sure if I posted these two yet Bugs Raymond cards yet.

The first is a super-rare red border Colgan Chip. What is particularly interesting about this one is that the red borders, I believe, were only made in 1912. Bugs didn't play Major League ball at all that year and actually died in early September. I would love to know if any Tin Tops were made of Bugs, but since those seem to have been produced after the red borders, I sort of doubt it.

The second just came back from SGC. The color on this silk just pops. It is far brighter in-person.

That T205 Cobb has a clean white baseball and no red on the basepaths as well. So many have that red ink shifted over. Great call picking that up.

[bn2cardz]

This finally arrived today. To me this card is Gem Mint, I am just glad that SGC gave it a technical grade of "Good" so that I could afford it. Factory errors, to me, shouldn't be counted against the grade of a card (especially to the extent it was with this card).

I don't have time to scan, and HA has great scans already so I will just use theirs:

From the Lawson's Game--the very first baseball card game, so it's said. This is one of the rarest cards in the set. 1884. I guess this makes this my oldest card.

Great looking card.
For the record I have owned several sets and all of the cards are exactly equal in rarity, in my experiences.

We might even have a nice raw set in our upcoming auction, as we have before.

[Jay Wolt]

Leon in the set there are multiple cards of some, like the Striker and some cards are solo like the Umpire.

[GregMitch34]

Leon, according to Pop reports (which I know don't represent all cards) the "Striker" card (which I also have) and one other appear in dozens of copies, all of the others only a handful at PSA and another handful at SGC... so from that, yes, there are two "commons" and the rest about equally scarce..

[conor912]

way cool fatty postcard. i want 1...

Thanks...

[GregMitch34]

Here's the Striker, of which we speak, by far the most common in the set...

Leon in the set there are multiple cards of some, like the Striker and some cards are solo like the Umpire.

Woops forgot. There are in fact different numbers of different players. I was thinking that all of the decks of cards I had seen were the same..Time to go back to sleep.

and I should add, yes Greg, you were correct on this. :)

Thanks. I am pretty excited and I am glad I was able to work out a deal to sell one of my t205 multi-strikes in time to have funds to purchase this card.

Great E98 miscut......further proof the BSF cards are legit.

I am curious to see if more miscuts come up in the BSF cards to know if the rest of the sheet was distributed to the same place. If they do show up in the BSF collection we may be able to figure out an entire sheet layout.

Andy, Your Mack is incredible and I echo everyone else's comments on it.
Awesome Card! Really neat to see that Ford was above Mack on the sheet!
Way Cool!

As many of you are aware, two of my major collecting focuses are WaJo cards and Sam Rice Cards. And, you may have seen my recent, ecstatic post in the LOTG Auction pick-up thread where I showed the 1921 Herpolsheimer's WaJo 1-of-1 card that I won in the LOTG Auction that ended a week ago.

Well, guess what - a couple of days after my WaJo post, I received an email from a Net 54 Board member (whom I didn't know, but whom happens to live roughly 25 miles from me) asking if I would be interested in purchasing his 1921 Herpolsheimer's 1-of-1 card of Sam Rice (and, at a reasonable price!). I could hardly believe my eyes as I read this email. Would I be interested - heck, I'd kill for this card, so to speak! I put my check into the mail on Thursday, and the Herps-Rice arrived in today's mail. Are Board members great, or what?!! Bruce, again, MANY THANKS!

I keep pinching myself to make sure that I am not merely dreaming that within a week's time, I have picked up two cards that I never, ever expected that I would be able to obtain. 2014 is already a great year, irregardless (sorry, but I've long used this "incorrect" word) of whether or not I add anything else to my collections for the remainder of this year!

Thanks to Chris Buckler for working a deal on the Baker & Jones from Joe's Vintage last auction. Now there's an auction house who knows how to do it. Ended Tues. night, invoice on Wed. morn (pd.

Ok Val, now you're just showing off! Amazing.

Hey John, what you deem to be my "showing off" is merely my feeble attempt to "keep up with the Joneses Wonkatickets," which I now realize is even more futile than ever, especially since you've been "showing off" your incredible N172s, each of which is better looking than all of my 70+ N172 Washington-player cards!!! :D

Seriously, Pete, John, Leon, Jason and Frank, many thanks for the kind comments. You guys and many other Board members have brought me so much pleasure and made this hobby so much more fun for me ever since I found Net 54, which was around the time I retired in 2007 and began having more time to enjoy my hobby.
BEST to ALL,
Val

Hi Sean...Thanks, I think the Ed Konetchy is personally signed, I can't find comparison signatures.

The Kelly postcard also includes Casey Stengel as the Boston Braves manager. The Braves and Browns traveled to Monterrey Mexico in 1941, I think this may be a view from that trip, this RPPC is printed on Mexican RPPC paper.

Yours is definitely late 1930s to early 1940s based on the stamp box.

[the 'stache]

Beautiful post cards, Jeff. Two more outstanding additions to what continues to be one of my very favorite collections on Net 54. I especially like the Almendares base ball club.

There have been a lot of great players that have come and gone, but if I were to come up with a list of players I wish I could have met, Buck O'Neil would be at the very top (hmm, sounds like an interesting topic). He was truly one of the great ambassadors of the game. The man was a witness to some incredible history, and his enthusiasm for the game was second to none. I could have sat there listening to him speak for hours on end, and I'd have been enthralled the entire time.

Derek, thanks again for reaching out to me and trading me these two "NM beauties" (hey, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," right?) for my Sam Rice collection from your fantastic RC collection. It's great when a trade greatly enhances both collectors' collections!

Condition-wise, this Boston Store closely resembles the only other Sam Rice RC "NM beauty" I already had, which is a Collins-McCarthy example. Now, the only ad back 1917 Rice I am missing is the D350-2 Standard Biscuit - anyone have one they are willing to sell or trade? I also wouldn't mind acquiring a 1917 E135 blank back of Rice, although I am partial to cards with ad backs.

Derek, thanks again for reaching out to me and trading me these two "NM beauties" (hey, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," right?) for my Sam Rice collection from your fantastic RC collection. It's great when a trade greatly enhances both collectors' collections!

Condition-wise, this Boston Store closely resembles the only other Sam Rice RC "NM beauty" I already had, which is a Collins-McCarthy example. Now, the only ad back 1917 Rice I am missing is the D350-2 Standard Biscuit - anyone have one they are willing to sell or trade? I also wouldn't mind acquiring a 1917 E135 blank back of Rice, although I am partial to cards with ad backs.

Val - my 2014 collecting goal will be to upgrade your Boston Store to something more suitable!! I loved working w/ you on a trade!! I learned more about Sam Rice than I bargained for, but it was worth it!

Derek, you are too kind! I echo what you said about working together to achieve a "win - win" trade. And, I truly appreciate your 2014 collecting goal, but I'd rather you amend it to finding me a 1917 Standard Biscuit of Rice! FYI, I have lots of "poor" cards in my collection - you should see some of my WaJos - and, I love each and every one of them!
Best,
Val

Man that's a good looking Tinker, very nice ;-)

I agree, Buddy. That Tinker is a beauty. Great color on it. Congratulations, Adam!

it took about some time but i'm finally replacing the cards i sold years ago to buy my house...at least for the down payment :)

I love CJ 14s but find most of the poses rather lame, and redundant. But this is one of my favorite--great pose and uniform and attitude. Looks like a HOFer.

Too bad it isn't a HOFer. That is a nice pose of the other Wags.

Excellent, Mark. And as you rebuild that part of your collection, you have a nice place to display them. Win win!

Good luck with hunting down those other cards. I look forward to seeing them.

A few non-card pickups from BST. Cincy megaphone for my wife and a Mike Ryba photo.

Congrats Alex! Keep chugging along and you will be at 200 before you know it. I bought a lot in my first year and I don't regret it at all. When did you start collecting t206s?

I bought a couple my senior of high school (10 years ago). However, it wasn't until last year that I really went after the set. It is a toughie to do on a budget but I am having fun.

Continuing with my busy month. Thanks Andrew and Jon

Just won this tonight at Heritage... Not technically a pickup yet, but it's certainly my new centerpiece
