June Pickups

[tbob]

Managed to snag this for my E99 set from Legendary.

[atx840]

8%? living on the edge.

[Luke]

couple of beauties for the e95 set

[bbpostcards]

This oversized panoramic postcard depicts the Chicago Union Giants and the Daggett, Michigan baseball team at a September 6, 1911 contest in Daggett. The Union Giants wear jerseys reading "Peters" because Williams S. Peters owned the club. A friend's great research yielded the following identifications: Robert Gilkerson, who would buy the team in 1917 (2b, far left); Sam Gordon (c, second from left); Horace Jenkins (rf, third from left); Haywood "Kissing Bug" Rose (1b, fourth from right) Albert Toney (ss, second from right); James Harvey (p/rf, far right). The other players likely include Guy Jackson (3b); Mack Ramsey (lf), Ed Lee (cf), and Alexander (p). I will post more identifications as they come.

Very sharp additions!

[Koufax32fan]

The high school graduate is a Clemente fan - sorry it isn't per-war - so I bought him this 1959 card. The soon-to-be-former-8th grader is more of a pre-war kinda guy, so I bought him his first Greenberg; not great condition, but a big head. (Thanks Tony!)

[GregMitch34]

From Love of Game last night, only graded one--just cool looking, postcard back, barely distributed if at all...

Big Thanks to Jeremy J. and John S. for helping me along ................

[MVSNYC]

My first Ruth, after all of these years...and reacquired the exact Pelty i used to own...both from LOTG (great auction, Al!)

[Koufax32fan]

The colors are nicer - I need to get a hang of this scanner.

[kamikidEFFL]

Great pick up guys. That T3 is nice and I myself haven't seen that one before either.

[cockrellcollection]

A couple of more "firsts" of these types for me.....looks like I may be heading down that type collector road.

John, I got that book about a month and a half ago. You're going to absolutely love it. Good buy!

I'm sending you a message with some other suggestions.

[shernan30]

After getting my first red border in REA, I've decided to collect Series 4 and 6. My wife's family is from the area making this the only way she would agree to me collecting more tobacco cards. (She's in medical school and hates tobacco, she told me my OJs were okay, but other sets)

I was also able to pick up 2 Cleveland and 1 Cincinnati OJ for my Ohio subset. Really happy with the Twitchell. Its near the top of my favorites list for this subset.

Enjoy!!

This little masterpiece arrived today from Joe's Vintage Sports Cards. The color on it is off the charts.

Number 256 in the rebuilt collection.

[Luke]

Congrats Ed! That's a big one!

[Leon]

wow...congrats Ed.

[h2oya311]

Awesome Ed! Keep it up! That card is in fantastic shape, too!! That would look great in any collection, but looks the best in yours! I don't know the full story, but do you think almost all T206 in the checklist will have this back? And is there only a sole copy of each in existence, or have you stumbled across duplicates?

I think I can speak for all of us when I say, yours is probably the most challenging set-build I know of! We all know of Uzits and Hindus being rare/tough backs, but yours must be the toughest around!

[Jason]

Scott/Steven

Very nice T210 pickups. Some really good poses in the cards posted.

[Joe_G.]

A big score for me, a nice lot of 21 OJs.

All the cards, except one, have "C W CHURCH." stamped on the back. It would be interesting to know how substantial the collection was at one time. Almost all the cards date to 1889. Appears to be a collection that has stood together for many, many years. Most of the cards have outstanding photo quality. A nice grouping of OJs.

[Joe_G.]

Oops . . . and the 21st OJ.

[kamikidEFFL]

That is a great lot of OJ's. Love those cards man

[atx840]

Well, the rest of the lot is pretty sweet, but a Deacon White? That is outstanding! Congrats!

BTW - that pose looks very familiar to me! :D

[the 'stache]

Greg-that Keeler is beautiful! That's one of my favorite portraits from the set.

Ed-that Cy Young is magnificent, and I'm so glad you got it back. I love your project. I keep my eyes open for the Howe McCormick back stamp whenever I'm looking at T206 cards on Ebay.

Joe-you're not kidding about the photo quality. Those Old Judges are spectacular!

I, for one, would like to see a different qualifier for baseball cards that exhibit stamps. The "MK" designation is seen as a negative, something that lowers the overall value of a card. I find the stamps that are seen in Ed's collection, and on the back of Joe's OJ collection, as enhancements. I think they add character to the cards, and exhibit a little clue about the card's history. Let the buyer decide if the stamp qualifier adds to or detracts from the card's beauty.

[Bicem]

Wow Jim, love them all.

[h2oya311]

Picked up a couple of nice postcards. Very excited to find the Wood/Johnson.

Holy smokes Jim! I think you should be more excited about the Marquard ML card! Very nice! All three are killer though!

[nolemmings]

Beautiful postcards Jim. Rather risque-- a Johnson with Wood.

[auggiedoggy]

Wood and Johnson? There has to be a joke in there somewhere. :p

A prelude to Masters & Johnson? :D

[The Nasty Nati]

I think it would be really cool if when you completed this unique collection you went to the residence of 500 W. Main St., Gainesville, Fla and showed the current resident your collection or an even cooler idea would be to track down the descendants of Howe and show them their great grandfathers collection.

Really cool idea for a collection, I'll keep a lookout for those stamps!

Question is...how will Ed know if/when this collection is ever completed?

[Gobucsmagic74]

Wood and Johnson? There has to be a joke in there somewhere. :p

In the school system there is a nationally normed academic test called the Woodcock-Johnson that we use quite often to help determine student progress and for ESE eligibility. We definitely get a lot of strange looks when we discuss the results of that test.

[slipk1068]

That Joss is pretty.

[The Nasty Nati]

That's a good point. Well, regardless I guess when the time feels right. 256 already sounds like an impressive number to me. It would be cool to track down Howe's descendants and maybe have them dig up a photo of their ancestor so we can have a face to this early collector.

This collection truly fascinates me. I feel this collection could go in a museum.

And then, the Wagner PC shows him standing next to a statue of an alligator holding a pair of lace panties!


I'm a big San Diego Chargers fan, and it just hit me the other day, that three of their players over the years have been (Jeff) Wood, (Danny) Woodhead and (John) Woodcock.

... and I'm guessing they conduct the tests at Bushwood Country Club? Funny thing is, I'm sure those names were totally reasonable before American slang hijacked them. I think Clarke is safe for now, but you never know!

Some pickups over the past month plus, including a nice N172 "Orator Jim" from LOTG... and thank you Joey for the Rajah of BST.

Not perfect, but decent eye-appeal, and takes care of a rare back for my set. Thanks to net54 member for the acquisition.

[z28jd]

Got this T206 Dunn today with a split front. Can't tell if the bottom player is also Dunn, because the background is yellow, but that could be from a color shift. I believe there is a Dunn split front out there that is him on both sides. The yellow in the bottom is a lot easier to see in person, not sure why it is barely showing up in the scan. Must be something with my settings

[marvymelvin]

Hey just wanted to show you all my recent buy of this Oak Prewar Exhibit Vending Machine. It is still in transit but I am too excited to wait. I have some prewar Baseball Exhibits waiting to replace those boxing cards once it gets here. I will post again once I do.

[Prince Hal]

Been looking for this for a long time.

A little late to the party but just saw your PC's Jim S. They are sweet!

[the 'stache]

Ian, I really love your recent acquisitions. The diversity in your collection really knocks my socks off, my friend. You're doing exactly what I plan on doing. I especially love the Rajah and the O'Rourke. I can't remember, but is that your first OJ?

When Joe posted his OJ collection pick ups, I started looking at them seriously for the first time. I'd like to get one here before the year is out, but there's a lot of other things I want first.

Dave, that Wagner is outstanding. That's one of my favorite Wagner cards. The background colors on it are jut beautiful, don't you think?

[Runscott]

I picked up this Fleer Ted Williams strip (bottom right) at the Shoreline show, from Conor:

Card not shown on right, is of Williams and Babe Ruth.

Came today. Borders trimmed off, but not a crease on the image and is as clear as can be :) Sorry for the bad iPhone photo.

[davetruth]

Yeah 'Stache the colors are pretty striking..the old candy/tobacco cards are just so unique compared to the cards I grew up collecting from the 80/90s. Who said you need a hologram or lots of shiny foil or "1 of 50000" stamped on your card to make it something beautiful and special. I've also been blown away by some of the deeper and more vibrant vintage cards that appear as though they have never seen the light of day. Pretty cool stuff!!

[Bicem]

We need a big scan Greg, do that amazing piece justice!

Nice Cicotte!

[familytoad]

Thanks to Rob A for the opportunity to add this awesome card into my collection:

[the 'stache]

Greg-I just love the Fatimas! Having never held one before, can you tell me the differences between the regular T200s with the Fatima label, and the T200 premiums sans label? How much of a size difference are we talking? And besides the logo not being present, are there any other identifiable differences between the two?

Greg-that Cicotte is absolutely gorgeous!

[kamikidEFFL]

I really love the stuff that people are able to obtain. I wish my wallets were deep enough to jump in on some of these.

[Kawika]

Having never held one before, can you tell me the differences between the regular T200s with the Fatima label, and the T200 premiums sans label? How much of a size difference are we talking?
Bill: This quick'n'dirty snapshot ought to give you an idea of the difference in size. (Didn't have a regular T200 Boston so used a Washington team card instead. Maybe somebody can post one so we can inspect for differences in the image). You can see that the premium is quite large. It measures approximately 18-1/2"x10-1/2"; the edges were a bit rough and are matted out so I can't be more precise. That's a Moose Skowron autographed baseball to give a scale to the photo.

[bbcard1]

Most of the time, you start a project and it turns out to be harder than it seems like it should be. Given that I almost never get access to Old Judges, I figured a Billy Sunday run would take me a very long time. I have always thought Sunday, who became really the first major national evangelist and was a major voice in the ratification of prohibition (sorry about that). Anyway I picked one up in an auction a couple of years back and decided I would put together a run. Jay really helped me out, and i picked up a couple of others. The last one I needed came up in an auction just recently. In fact, it came up in two auctions at the same time so I felt like I got a good buy. I will probably upgrade the Chicago with bat eventually, but just finished up my run in a little over a year without really feeling like I paid too much for any of the bunch.

If you create the scan somewhere between 270-320K, Net54 will upload it fairly large. Anything bigger than that gets rejected, and smaller files become...smaller.

So here is number 39 of my set. Finally came in but hey very glad to have it in the collection. Only 9 more left till I hit the half way point and my first goal. Thanks for looking guys

[GaryPassamonte]

Scott- I'm at 300 now, but my images transfer to Net 54 small. I'm a dinosaur with these operations. My process is preview, next I size the image with the box, then scan. With my old scanner, I didn't have to attempt the sizing thing. Maybe that is my issue.

It is a T205 - exactly what is in question?



I accidentally hit the edit button that I have instead of the quote button...that is why there is an edit in your post. Sorry about that.

I was just referring to the fact that you mention Walter Johnson, then picture a Matty. I probably missed something. It's a really nice card - great pickup.

He said here's a Matty to match my Johnson, and then clarified to match his Walter Johnson...rather than his member. It was pretty funny actually.

Exactly! Now if Raymond would have been showing a card of Walt Masters - if there even is one - it would have been funny even without the clarification.

Kevin - Thanks for the first Chico Escuela reference I have seen in years! Hilarious!!

After getting my first red border in REA, I've decided to collect Series 4 and 6. My wife's family is from the area making this the only way she would agree to me collecting more tobacco cards. (She's in medical school and hates tobacco, she told me my OJs were okay, but other sets)

Enjoy!!

Sherman nice 210s but you picked the two toughest series to collect (4 and 6). Good luck with them!

Walter Thomas Masters is definitely the one I was referring to, and certainly not a "Diamond Great" with a 0-0 W/L% and 21 IP over 8 games in 3 separate visits to the bigs with Wash and Phil in '31, '37, and '39.

Surprised anyone bothered to make a card of him... but thanks!

[The Nasty Nati]

Nothing crazy like some of the incredible pickups you guys have had thus far this month, but I unknowingly picked up a T206 color variation of Harry Gasper. From what I've seen on ebay and other cards posted online, yellow seems to be the standard color and orange is a "rarer" color variation. Didn't notice it until I picked up the polar bear back. I don't have the greatest scanner, but seeing them next to each other in person there is definitely a difference.

Well, I haven't posted a pic here in a while and I am too stupid to do it apparently. Anyway I bought a used book off Amazon for a penny and 3.99 shipping. "Shades of Glory - The Negro Leagues and the History of African-American Baseball". I open it up and discover it is an ex-library book and is signed by two Negro League players. Robert Scott and Pedro Sierra. Pretty cool surprise. I think Robert Scott was maybe on Ken Burn's "Baseball"? I saw him somewhere. Sierra emigrated from Cuba and signed at age 16. Anyway an unexpected surprise for used book.

[itjclarke]

Couldn't resist bidding this Tinker/Evers/Chance and was a little surprised to get it seemingly without any competition at the end. It's a dupe for me, but the plan's to keep it until the Cubs win a WS.. or at least get back into to one;)

.. and have wanted a signed Greenberg from his playing days for a while. '34 Goudey would've been ideal, but I'm very happy with this Play Ball off eBay.

Many thanks to the person who wanted to add this 1910 Portland Beavers PCL postcard to my postcard collection, along with other wonderful items from the family of one of the players pictured. For more, visit http://www.sportingoregon.com . Always buying!

[pencil1974]

Got this out of the bargain bin. A bit rough but thought for the price and a harder to find George Burke that it was a good deal. I now own two of these.

[z28jd]

Got my Legendary win today and took a new group shot. Need two more to fill out my 40 man roster. Legendary didn't do the card justice with their scan(not that it affected the price at all), but it's the nicest OJ photo I have now. You can see the Indianapolis name whited out on the jersey, on the other London cards I have, you can't.

Picked up a copy of the August 30, 1862 Wilkes' Spirit of the Times newspaper on Ebay. In there is an article and box score of an August 20 game pitting the St George Cricket Club vs the Boston club. Playing for SG were George and Harry Wright and Jim Creighton. Harry and Creighton bowled for SG as they defeated Boston. Less than two months later Creighton was dead. The full newspaper is intact. Not a bad buy for $10.

Thanks for the big picture. I guess you can tell the card is darker because the blackout on the SGC holder looks a little faded too in the picture, but obviously it isn't. My dad looked at it next to another of the same variation and couldn't believe how much better/clearer everything was and the other one I used to compare was the nicest one I could find.

[ZachS]

One of the most exciting pickups ever for me. The front is just a whatever W573 strip card but the back is an amazing advertisement for Café Du Monde in New Orleans. Thanks to Leon for parting with it and giving me his very special " I don't want to sell " price. :o

Couldn't help sniping at this Cobby/Jennings. I'll never get sick of this card (may truly be my favorite) and find myself interested in and watching every one that pops up for auction. I think I may be at serious risk to begin hoarding.:rolleyes:

Posted this in another thread, but thought it should go here as well. 1934 Butterfinger Lou Gehrig. Got to love the condition of the base he's standing on.

My very first Gehrig of any kind. Got it from a guy who has about half the set in similar condition. I grabbed this first and may go back for the rest. I just can't decide if it's worth it to work on this set. It seems to get the short straw amongst collectors since they aren't "Cards" in the purest form.

So I'm still not sure if this will stay in my collection or not.

Always loved this one and it's a beauty. Congrats and I think it's a keeper!

[Northviewcats]

The Butterfinger Gehrig reminded me how difficult it is to get an nice, affordable Gehrig or a Ruth card from their playing days. Sometimes we go to extraordinary lengths.

This 1927 W560 sheet came in the mail today.

Its been a very quiet month for me. I basically haven't purchased anything for my set but it wasn't like I tried. I was close on a few and very sad I lost out on a Gehrig for my set. Oh well the search goes on. Anyway the other night I completed a deal on here with baez578. I know its only a 4 but will def upgrade down the line.

(1) 1911 Ty Cobb real photo postcard batting against Wilkes-Barre Barons at Boulevard Park.

(2) 1912 Cy Young real photo postcard with unidentified team. This is one of the last images of him in a major league uniform before he effectively retired after arm trouble prevented him from taking the mound in Pittsburgh on May 23 in what would have been his first 1912 appearance.

(3) 1910 real photo postcard of the Wilkes Barre Barons at Boulevard Park.

Cy looks like the "Spaghetti Monster" from "True Detective."

That Cy Young card could be with the Rochester, MN team, since here's a postcard of that team (Wisconsin-Minnesota League), with the photo by Young:

[bbpostcards]

Thanks for the suggestion, Robert. I suspect they're different teams because mine has a different R on the uniform and a K on the sleeve. As well, the Braves trained in Augusta, GA starting in March or so and opened their season on April 11 in Boston, making it unlikely they would have crossed paths with a Minnesota team.
