July Pickups

[marvymelvin]

Just thought I would try to beat everyone to the punch on this. I just got scans done of a few awesome pickups from the last week or so. The CJ Blair and Nunamaker are 1914's. The two Peckinpaugh's and Janvrin are 1915's.

Thanks to board members for the Peckinpaugh CJ, T222 Chance, T206 Chase, T222 Maisel, '52 Bowman Mantle, and '52 Berk Ross Mantle.

The other four CJ's and '34 Goudey Gehrig are from a late night Ebay binge.

I am still looking for a T222 Keating, T200 NY Americans, any T206 Yankees/Americans, and any CJ 1914/1915 Yankees. If you can help let me know.

Great Rookies Derek! Are you gonna go for that Billiken Andy Cooper thats from the same seller as the Lyons and Ruffing?

[Bosox Blair]

I love that card. The back is so clean. It's a good thing it's slabbed because I'm drooling all over it.

LOL - we can officially add that to the list of benefits of slabbing cards :p.

Thanks for the nice words about the card...I like it a lot!

(BTW, real nice job on your LA cards site. I've spent quite a bit of time on there - your research is really interesting!)

Cheers,
Blair

[h2oya311]

Thanks Jeff and Dan -

Dan - The Cooper is definitely near the top of my want list, but I simply can't drop any more cash on these tough cards. I would make an exception (or two) for an extremely rare card (or a card that is very underpriced), but I'm hoping that the negro league collectibles market cools a little in the next few years before tackling any of those Billiken rookies.

[rainier2004]

Beautiful!! What year is that Tigers PC?

1907 FP Burke - they only made this and the Chi national as they were the ws foes that year. I just love the emblem in the background and a very green Mr Cobb...plus the mascot is cool.

[soxinseven]

I was very happy to land this one...

Thanks to Bob B. for finding, then holding this for several weeks while I made arrangements to have it rejoin the others.

[the 'stache]

I'm always fascinated at the evolution of the Yankee uniform...good stuff!

I'm right there with you, Clyde.

I just want to clarify your post for anybody that might look at Scott's cards, and not quite get your reference (though they might see the Yankee logo on Urban Shocker's uniform), especially considering Scott is displaying three cards from players on the St. Louis Browns of the American League, and the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League.

New York's American League team, before it was known as the Yankees, started out as the Baltimore Orioles (1901-1902). The franchise then moved to New York in 1903, adopting the nickname the Highlanders. They remained the Highlanders though the 1912 season. In 1913, they became known as the New York Yankees. Before they adopted the uniform they wear today, the Yankees made several changes to their uniform early on.

What I find interesting about the Urban Shocker card Scott posted is not that he's in a New York Yankees uniform, as Shocker was a member of the Yankees for two years before becoming a member of the Browns. It's that he is in a Yankees uniform when this card was printed in 1922. Shocker last played for the New York Yankees in 1917. He'd been a member of the Browns for four years by the time this card was printed for public consumption.

But wait, this gets better.

Shocker's Yankee home uniform depicts the classic interwoven "NY" that we are so used to seeing on the Yankee baseball caps. As the Baseball Hall of Fame's wonderful "Dressed to the Nines" (http://tinyurl.com/jwvrr6s) uniform database clearly shows, that home uniform was last used in the 1916 season.

So, Urban Shocker's 1922 E121 American Caramel baseball card was printed using a picture of Shocker that was six years old!

Wow.

When I think of the all-time great baseball uniforms, the real classics, the three teams that jump into my mind are the pinstripes of the New York Yankees, the uniform of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the St. Louis Cardinals. There are some others I really like, too, the early 50s to 70s unis worn by the Pittsburgh Pirates are quite nice, but there's something about the Yankees, Dodgers and the current Cardinals uniforms that are just a cut above, in my opinion. And though the NY was last seen on the uniform itself in 1916, I would agree with Raymond that the way the Yankee uniform quickly evolved into the standard it is today is quite interesting, indeed.

[the 'stache]

Oh, and one more point to make here. The original Baltimore Orioles, who went on to become the New York Yankees, were, of course, not the Baltimore Orioles of today. Where did they come from?

Well, today's Baltimore Orioles started out as the Milwaukee Brewers (1894-1901) of the old minor Western League. The team then moved to St. Louis, where they were the Browns from 1902-1953. In 1954, the franchise then moved to Baltimore, and became the Orioles of today.

So, Urban Shocker's first team, the Yankees, started out as the Baltimore Orioles. And his second team, the St. Louis Browns, eventually became the Baltimore Orioles, but of course, not the same Baltimore Orioles that eventually became the New York Yankees.

Got that?

And today's Milwaukee Brewers had nothing to do with either team. They started out as the Seattle Pilots in 1969. They played one season in Seattle where they went 64-98. They then moved to Milwaukee in 1970.

[ValKehl]

I finally obtained the N43 card I wanted for my type collection at a price that seems reasonable via eBay. I prefer my type cards to be Washington players, or at least ballplayers who played for Washington at some time during their careers. "Honest" John Morrill (erroneously spelled Morrell on this card) was the player-manager for Washington for part of 1889. Now then, if I could only obtain a 1889 Old Judge card showing Morrill with Washington!
Val

[ValKehl]

Jack, congrats on picking up all those very tough 1924 Diaz cards - I know you are ecstatic! Hope that I will shortly have similar good fortune!
Best,
Val

[h2oya311]

Awesome Jack! What a score! I was tempted to go after more Diaz, but I'm content w/ my two! Good luck with your last four!

[Seiklis]

Thanks Val, thanks Derek. They've always been my favorite set just from how unusual they are compared to most cards of the era and just how they overall present. I've never really understood why they've never been more popular than they are

Still can't believe I own the Coveleski, it's just presents so much better than his other cards. Definitely one of my dream cards to own

Congratulations Jack on your Diaz pickups.

I bought this Diaz Urban Shocker and my first Billiken of Valentin Dreke a week ago from the same vendor. I love the clarity of the Shocker portrait. I thought it was in pretty good shape for a Cuban card from the 1920s.

I also picked up the Diaz Shawkey from her this evening. I wanted to bid on more, but I want to save some funds for the Nationals.

I didn't see the Shocker and Shawkey on the PSA or SGC population reports. Any of the Cuban collectors on the board know of other examples?

Best regards,

Joe

[Seiklis]

Grats on your pickups Joe

Shocker is the first one I've seen. No pop report on him either

Shawkey has a graded pop of 2. He has a really nice SGC example, off the top of my head I think it's a 50. I own the psa 1 example

Yeah, Mike, I know about the rest. I was emphasizing the 12 card WS set in order to distinguish it from the whole R313A run. The other portion of the R313As is outside of my collector rank.

... of my July pickups so far. Still waiting on a few things in the mail.

[Section103]

Its rare that I have anything that either fits (post war & pre war collector) or is worthy of being shown here (low budget), but this one probably does.

[VoodooChild]

Very nice pick-up Rich! I feel the same way about mine. It's the much rarer "Frank Baker" variation than the more available "J. Franklin Baker". Plus, according to the experts, it's the first confirmed with the Type 3 back.

[vintagehofrookies]

anybody know anything about these? this just came in from Portugal

Stumbled across this at an antique shop in the middle of nowhere. Quite the find for $40.00.

Yes! The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and The Magnificent Seven. He's still around -- maybe we could get him to sign the card?

[the 'stache]

Terry got screwed, didn't he? He hits .401 in 1930-the last National Leaguer to do so-and he doesn't win the MVP. Why? Because there was no MVP Award that year.

In 1922 the American League created a new award to honor "the baseball player who is of the greatest all-around service to his club".[18] Winners, voted on by a committee of eight baseball writers chaired by James Crusinberry,[19] received a bronze medal and a cash prize.[20] Voters were required to select one player from each team and player-coaches and prior award winners were ineligible. These flaws resulted in the award's being dropped after 1928. The National League award, without these restrictions, lasted from 1924 to 1929

History of the Major League Baseball MVP Award (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_Most_Valuable_Player_Award)

The new MVP Award, voted upon by the Baseball Writers (BBWAA) didn't start until 1931. So Terry's incredible effort, his .400 season, went completely unrecognized because of poor luck and bad timing.

Nice cards by the way, Raymond. That reminds me, I need to send in my '73 Topps Clemente to get graded. It's pristine.

[the 'stache]

Gah, double post.

[edjs]

So, I got these both today, is one missing a color, or just faded? I think they are both quite beautiful, don't you agree?

[MikeGarcia]

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/2042957/view/1937TYPE5UPGRADES_.JPG


I used the '' color photograph'' setting because these are not really B/W...





......much better corners and not so faded ; still has most of that original dull matte finish . ''T'' for ''Toronto'' but he went on to the Majors and he appears on some late forties Bowman cards .

I'm absolutely addicted to signed pre-war and vintage HOFer cards. I wish I'd gotten in on the signed T206s while they were still relatively affordable.

San Francisco Seals alums (just a coincidence). The magazine is OT, but I love flea markets. Thank you, Arnold. More complete scan of the complete magazine from October 9, 1939 will be posted.

Brian:

Great pick-ups on the 2 Waner Pre-Rookies, both are first ever cards.

[h2oya311]

Great snag Brian. You got a nice deal on the Waners. I would have given you a run for your money if I were still in the market for a '23 Waner.

Thank you, Phil and Derek. What I also like, because they came from the same owner, is the PSA numbers are sequential.

[Jason]

A couple of Series 6 pickups.

Brad,

Nice RUTH Autograph.

[pencil1974]

Thanks Steve should be in hand on mid next week. I have a JSA cert coming with it but want to get it slabbed by PSA or SGC so it's a bit more protected from me and my kids. lol

[vintagehofrookies]

Brian,
Great pickup on the Waners! I was watching them and its good to know they went to a fellow board member.

[vintagehofrookies]

these came in the other day:

......Scanned using ''Color Photograph'' setting trying to capture the actual original matte finish....they appeared as being somewhat weak and faded even when brand new , especially if compared to their Type 4 ''Creamy'' cousins .

...the upgrade has better everything , especially the registration .

....seller said that ''they'd been kept in a book all these years''..

....I believe that to be true because they look like new ...

...She had eleven and I bought them all.....my precious and brilliant grand-daughters will be attending the local community college for their freshman year instead of Smith and Wellesley and Vassar like they claim I had once promised them....

[MikeGarcia]

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/2042957/view/1937UPGRADEOBRIEN_NEW.JPG

....very welcome upgrade of Coach O'Brien....he's hard to find ; a lot of kids didn't keep cards that weren't of actual current ballplayers.

[Brian Van Horn]

Brian,

Thank you, Dan.

Also, here are more pictures of the October 10, 1939 Look Magazine:

.......Bob Seeds went on to play for the Yankees I think...

......the WidowGarcia has informed me that she can not see hardly any difference at all between my original card and the sharp bright crisp unstained new upgrade ;.....I'll keep her anyway.

[Kenny Cole]

The Billikens are off to SGC tomorrow. The Morin card has a La Moda back, which is nice.

[Brian Van Horn]

Congrats, Kenny!

[Kenny Cole]

Thanks Brian. :)

Great Lummis Peanut Butter pickup. I am also a Phillies fan, so I search the obscure Philies sets on eBay once in a while. I remember seeing the "Puddinhead" Jones card in the sold listings and thinking, "Wow, there was actually a Lummis Peanut Butter card at auction on here." :)

I do believe I'm starting to understand the attraction of collecting other backs.
Edit: I would be remiss if I did not thank Mike DeNero for this splendid card.

Congratulations, Matthew. I was about to tell you to check in with Frank, but you've already told him your monster number.

How does it feel having a 100 + year old card in your hands?

[Matvoo]

Bill feels awesome love it cant keep taking out of its case and examining it

I agree...but, it's bologna sandwiches for the next month or so.

Such is the price of fame, huh?

[marvymelvin]

Here is my latest pick up. Finally made a deal with Brian at BMW on this. Class act all the way. Thanks Brian! Still need an SGC graded T200 NY Americans/Yankees.

[the 'stache]

Vincent-those are some exquisite backs. They should help you make it through to September.

Scott-welcome back. Those are some really nice cards you picked up there.

Jason-I enjoyed looking at your site yesterday morning. I appreciate he education, as the T210s are something I really haven't looked at much yet. I really like the Revelle, too. I might need to pick one up to compliment the T206 I added last week. Thank you for all your hard work on the site.

Raymond-beautiful Pee Wee. That one is definitely on my shopping list.

Nice Fatima too, Brad.

Only a few cards for me this month, but the end of August should see things picking up for me. :D
