February Pickups

[oldjudge]

I've never started one of these but I did pick up an interesting trade card today with an albumen image of the 1878 Buffalo Bosons, one of the greatest minor league teams ever. The 1878 Bisons won the International Association and had a winning record against National League teams(10-7). They joined the National League the following season. They featured a young Pud Galvin who compiled a record (hold on to your hat Old Hoss) of 72-25.

[ullmandds]

wow...very nice pickup!

[joeadcock]

Agreed.
Nice.

wow...very nice pickup!

[Exhibitman]

Thanks for whipping out your Pud and showing it to us.

Sorry...couldn't resist.

I picked up this for my Koufax collection:

I was not aware that you could even have a qualified 1. What is that, double secret probation for cards?

Nice Bisons pickup

Wow!, an amazing piece. Congrats Jay, very, very nice indeed.

[freakhappy]

Great way to start the pickup thread for February! Love the Lenox, Luis!

Agreed on this, Adam! There is a flaw in the logic of adding qualifiers to PSA 1s. Dean Wormer must have taken a job with PSA. Nice card nonetheless. --tim

I like it. It lets me know the card is a 1 and has one of the flaws that earns a qualifier. The more info the better right?

Very nice.

[NewEnglandBaseBallist]

Jay, congrats on the Bisons trade card and the Cal McVey photo. Truly spectacular pieces!

[HappyJack41]

My first Lenox and probably only one.

Great pickup on the Lenox! And a nice example too

[oldjudge]

Thanks guys. This is the second 1878 Buffalo trade card that has been found, as far as I know. The first had a green mount, was trimmed, and had different ads.

[clydepepper]

I've been looking for this one for several years:

[GaryPassamonte]

Jay- Nice pick up on the Buffalo trade card. As mentioned in a post, did you pick up a Cal McVey image, also?

[oldjudge]

Hi Gary! Yes, I posted an image of the McVey and Leonard CdVs I picked up in the January thread

Terrific photo, Turner. That's Ruth's sister Mamie Moberly, is it not?

[Gobucsmagic74]

Went all in for this one including selling my 1951 Bowman Mantle. :eek:
Thanks to everyone who purchased from me this past month for allowing me to secure the funds for my first Wagner! Highest graded of the 14 slabbed by PSA

[gregr2]

Nice Wagner! ^^^^ Congrats!

[Baseball Rarities]

Jay, great trade card. It's condition is incredible. I have never seen that color before either. I have seen two green examples. Lipset auctioned the one on the left and I bought the other one in the 1995 Rucker sale and traded it away sometime afterwards.

[oldjudge]

That's great Kevin. So the one without the trimmed corner has the same ads as mine. The back on mine is undamaged. I've heard that there was a similar trade card made for the Troy team, but I have not seen an image.
It is interesting to note that Bill McGunnigle, who is featured in the Old Judge set as the manager of Brooklyn, was a player on the 1878 Buffalo squad.

[Gradedcardman]

My first Lenox and probably only one.


Resembles one I used to own !!!

[Jacker_ Cracks]

Great Wagner Dan!

[Jason]

Picked this up in the latest greatest LOTG Auction. I traded mine last year and I am happy to have an example back in my collection for a very fair price too IMO

[z28jd]

First I must say a huge thanks to Brian McQueen, who held this for me for a lot longer than most people would, just so I could get a tough card for my Dots Miller collection. I didn't know this Orange Borders card even existed until I saw his listing and I was told that there aren't any graded, so it was probably a one shot deal to acquire this card and Brian went above and beyond to help me get it

A huge thanks to Rhett for this 1920 D327 Holsum Bread with the Type 1 back which arrived today to complement the 1921 D327 Holsum Bread with the Type 2 back that I won in the December SCP Auction. My OCD pursuit of all variations of all Edgar Charles "Sam" Rice cards continues!

Thanks, I have a few cards from this era but this was my first big name HOFer. I was pretty excited to get it. I think it's amazing that someone pulled it out of a pack of cigarettes over 100 years ago and it's still survived this long.

[brob28]

These two arrived today, made a cold snowy day warmer. Sorry they're a bit blurry, I haven't figured out how to get clear scans of SGC slabbed cards with my scanner.

Finally finished a small subset project. Thanks to Andy N. for this Jack Lapp T222 Fatima card.

I now have the 4 "catching pose" cards in the set: Archer, Lapp, McLean, and Schang. All 4 present well!

Patrick

[ValKehl]

Patrick, what about John Henry, the Washington Senators catcher? I believe he is one of the toughest T222 short prints to obtain. Here's the link to the OC web site where you can see a pic of this card: http://www.oldcardboard.com/t/t222/t222gal.asp
Val

[Vintagecatcher]

Hi Val,

John Henry split time between catching and 1st base. His T222 looks like he has a smaller 1st basemen's mitt on to me.


Patrick

[ValKehl]

Patrick, I wasn't aware that Henry ever played 1st base. But, I just now checked baseball-reference.com, and I see that he played both positions during the first 2 years (1910 & 1911) of his MLB career, and catcher only during his last 7 years (including 1914, the year the T222s were issued). Re Henry's T222 card, I think he is holding a catcher's mitt, but have no expertise re vintage mitts. BTW, nice accomplishment!!
Val

[shammus]

First I must say a huge thanks to Brian McQueen, who held this for me for a lot longer than most people would, just so I could get a tough card for my Dots Miller collection. I didn't know this Orange Borders card even existed until I saw his listing and I was told that there aren't any graded, so it was probably a one shot deal to acquire this card and Brian went above and beyond to help me get it

I'm thrilled to help a fellow Net 54'er along with his collection and am happy to see the card go to a good home. A pleasure working with you and hope you enjoy it!!

Like R301 Gehrig R304 Ruth / Gehrig Ruth Fleer back stamp.. of Course Baltimore Ruth.. and this one that just fell in my lap totally out of the blue and after 35 plus years crossed it off.

[ValKehl]

Jonathan, I gasped when I saw your fantastic Wool's Bread pickups - truly rare cards! Congrats - I can imagine the euphoria you felt when you got the Ruth card. I can still remember the excitement I experienced many years ago when I picked up a WaJo with the Wool's back, which wasn't yet reflected in the Standard Catalog, for my WaJo card collection.
Val

[bigfanNY]

Val Thanks it was the best Card pickup I have had in some time.
Back in the day it seemed every weekend I went to a show or flea Market I saw or bought something that sparked my collector engine and it happened so often that I took it for granted. Turning over a page of T206's in Silver spring MD and seeing all the cards had Red Hindu backs ( I left all the commons and just took the two HOF's including a WAJO) because the next table or the next show I was going to have the chance to get my grubby little baseball collecting hands on something bigger and better. Like all good things it came to pass
Changed but overall still a mass of collectors trading collecting hunting enjoying our time with these small pieces of paper. And I know most folks look at that Ruth and say so what but sitting in my office staring at that card I looked down and my hand was shaking like you I gasped. Really scary part was that there were two days left in auction..TWO VERY LONG DAYS...and each night I went to bed I felt like I was sped off to the Never land populated with Baseball hero's (And none bigger than Babe Ruth). And all is well that end's well. I got a real shot of collecting adrenaline and a great card, both I will treasure for a time.

There was a book written about this titled The Chalmers Race, which I just picked up also. I already had a green Cobb so I had to get a Lajoie portrait to go with.
This portrait ranks up there with the WaJo portrait IMHO; but you have to find the right one...without lipstick. :p

1936 Goudey Premium.
And a fellow Net54 member just helped me to fill my R312 DiMaggio hole...AND I just made a deal for a Joe D. owned bat from the old timers game in 1971.
My February has been EPIC for my DiMaggio collection!!!!!!!

On a related note, I hope my girlfriend doesn't read these threads. Because I am not sure my DiMaggio bat will look quite as good on the doghouse wall. :)

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up another catcher T207, Jimmy "Bruno" Block.

Nice front with back damage for an awesome price.

Looks like lots of Hindus were picked up this month by board members...

Here are 3 that I was able to add to my White Sox T206 master set:

I am happy to have accomplished a couple of my collecting goals for 2015...

First, I picked up my first N172 (I really like the ones where the ball magically floats in the air, so I made sure it was one of those!):

http://www.collectorfocus.com/images/show/davidfuhrman/other-pre-war/25394/farmer-bill

Also, not pre-war, but I picked up this Jackie which I have been trying to aquire for awhile (not high grade, like pretty much all my cards, but I like how it presents):

I always thought the 50' Bowman Robinson was a beautiful card in any condition, nice stuff.

[Jacklitsch]

A pretty tough Zeenut to crack.

Well done.

The Discoll is the only 1911 error that was corrected. Small pose versus the larger pose Driscoll.

It's been so long since I've posted that these pickups make up for the last 3 months. Titus is a Polar Bear. I've also really added to my Cubs subset!

[lahmejoon]

Awesome 206's!

Awesome card! A personal favorite of mine that I've wanted to add to my collection for a while now. I hope to pick one up later this year.

Love the color on these Goudey's great score!

[cincyredlegs]

Picked up this Billy Donovan the other day. Slight vertical crease on the edge that is hard to see which explains the low grade.

[GregMitch34]

Not sure what your point is on this...clearly different cards and borders...the ones from about 1915 all look alike, except some colorized and some not...the later ones, i guess, have far different borders and number in lower right corner etc...am I missing something?

Greg, I think, IMO, that he is saying PSA slabbed one as Tris Speaker and the other one not. I could be wrong though.........

[GregMitch34]

The older one is accepted as Speaker and always sold as such. Not IDed on front or back. The newer one may have ID somewhere.

[bgar3]

I believe i used to have the photo of that Speaker card and it was identified as him batting on the 1913-14 World Tour, I think in England.

[x2drich2000]

Well after almost 5 months of not making any progress, finally picked up another Nadja...granted the registration isn't great and it is the 2nd easiest card in the set to find, but figured the miscut is at least something you don't see all the time.

No - just me being dumb...again. Still, it's interesting to use the same basic picture 19 years apart...guess that's what caught my attention.

[Gobucsmagic74]

This BVG 2.5 (which was crease free and I believed worthy of a 3-3.5) became an SGC 50 this week! It's been a really good month.

Great card! Talk about a bump!

[wolf441]

Another Piedmont 350, but with a WST on reverse as well as a slight double back, top-bottom. Liberated from an SGC 45 holster! :D

[Gobucsmagic74]

Great card! Talk about a bump!

I know right? I did crack it out before sending it in because I thought it was under graded, but I never expected SGC 50. In related news, the card is no longer for sale...I offered it in B/S/T a while back but didn't get any bites. :D

[yanksfan09]

Thanks Erick! Nice Ruth as well...I honestly don't think I've ever laid eyes on that card. What a find!

Thanks, an affordable copy has been high on my want list for years. I think it is one of the nicest looking early Ruth's to show him on the Yankees, as a hitter and in pinstripes. It shows him in the white pinstriped hat that was used in 1921 too when Ruth had the best ever year in baseball history.

This CJ looks a lot better than just AUT - assuming nothing is wrong with the back. Am I the only one that feels that way?

[bcbgcbrcb]

It's trimmed, Raymond.

[MVSNYC]

Yes, lower right corner flares out on the bottom edge.

[pawpawdiv9]

Got my very 1st Cobb last night and so happy to share my excitement with Sean & you guys. like i told Sean, i wanted one that was presentable and i got thos unique piece on top of all things and its ungraded.
Its the print oddity, as Sean said over-sized.

[Tao_Moko]

Had some cards I've had for awhile holdered. Some are new pickups, some just have a new house :D

That miscut Shipke may prove to be at the top of a sheet since there's no two/double name showing.

[Iwantmorecards77]

First vintage pick-up in quite some time. I don't have a very large collection, but for some reason this is my third Griffith w/bat and second with the "missing 'i' from Cincinnati." My scanner isn't that great to begin with, but the new PSA holders seem to come out extra blurry when I scan them.

Thanks guys. I am thrilled by all means.
I might be catching this pre-war bug that you guys have, it makes me more enthusied to go after the 'green' Cobb next, as i was wanting to get that one first. I may go for the 4 Cobb run, while keeping the love of my RC run.

I'm glad that your first Cobb is a special one. Get the Green one, and if you decide to go for the others, let me know.

Well, here is the completion of my February pickups. Miller Huggins is part of my March search, but when I saw the card I couldn't pass it up. I was hoping it wouldn't show up until Monday ;). Thanks to the board members who helped out with 2 of these cards to continue my Cincinnati team sets!!
