May pickups

[atx840]

Let's see em.

[Leon]

The start of the Luckey Collection II, I always like neat Zeenut poses...thanks to Rob A for these cool ones....

[z28jd]

Reached the halfway point in my mini-project. Collecting all 14 known Pirates with EPDG backs. Got these two just now in the mail from two different people. I know the Camnitz was only recently confirmed, so I figured I better buy that one despite the writing.

[cool-vintage]

Mainly bought this because it relates to local baseball history. (Cad Coles played for the Kansas City Packers in 1914.)

Awesome, John - very tough card!

That "over head" Camnitz wasn't confirmed when I stopped working on the Pirates back in 2012, as far as I know. At that time, I believed there were 15 confirmed, with only Willis, Abstein, and that Camnitz being no-shows. I did not have an image of a couple, and Clarke (fielding) was a bit of a mystery, but I thought it had been confirmed by someone (I do not have the records).

This one would bump it to at least 15 known, 16 if Clarke (fldg) is actually confirmed.

Either way, there are some tough ones in the list, but you've knocked off a big one - congrats!

[JohnP0621]

Picked Up this full Pirates Pack with a Card at a Local Show. The Card is not Baseball related.

[z28jd]

I am going by T206Resource. Their checklist has 14 confirmed and it was 13 when I first put the list together, then someone found the Camnitz, so I added it. I actually decided to try for them all a year or so before I started, so that's why I only have seven now.

I got a couple nice ones in a trade(see pic below) and then decided to go for the rest. I do check their list from time to time for updates just in case. Message me if you find the checklist that says more than 14 are available so we don't clutter the May pickup thread. Thanks.

BTW, I have Gibson, Miller, Clarke/port, Maddox, Wilson, Camnitz arms folded and above head. Phillippe seems very easy, so I've passed on a few nicer ones, looking for VG range

Happy to add this Cracker Jack as an upgrade from a board member...

[JohnP0621]

John,
Hows it Going.
Glad that I could Help get you started on your Mini Project. I have a few more EPDG in my Collection. I will look through them and see if I have any more Pirates. Check out the Pirate pack that I picked Up.

Yes, good one Josh. :)

[Tim Kindler]

I always enjoy seeing people's pickups each month, especially when they are related to a "Special Project " that someone is working on. These show us all the fun in collecting and how you can collect in anyway that means something to YOU;not the industry itself or that there is a standard way to have a collection. Thanks for sharing guys!

[triwak]

Acquired late last month:

1) The first is a c1916 RPPC of HOFer Judy Johnson, when he was ~16 years young. Don't know if I'd call it his "rookie" or his "prookie" or what? I'm just calling it "one of my new favorites!"

2) I suppose the 2nd one speaks for itself. :)

[Luke]

Some new 150 series pickups (Keeler I've had for awhile but hadn't scanned).

And a beauty it is.

[cincyredlegs]

Lukes', love the Keeler and Chase OM. Great pick-up's.

[rustywilly]

Ken - Congrats! Fantastic acquisitions, wow.

[CW]

I don't even get into Cubans, Ken, but that's a bad ass card.

[triwak]

Thanks, guys.

[calvindog]

My first Old Mill

Beautiful card.

[glchen]

My first Old Mill

May be my monitor, but that almost looks like a Blue Old Mill back.

[LKeeler]

Thanks guys. Gary, must be your monitor as it is black. I was hoping that the longer that I stared at it that it would be brown or blue but alas it remains black.

[TistaT202]

I thought the same thing Gary when I saw it.

Beautiful card

[pete zouras]

[DeanH3]

Technically an April pick up but it just arrived today. My first Lionel Carter card. I must say he did have a great eye for cards with nice eye appeal.

[rhettyeakley]

After many years and constant upgrades this one finally completes my 1922 Zeenut set at 162 cards, not sure why this card is so tough (possibly because Wildfire Schulte was also in the set with Seattle which is also a tough card) but it sure was a tough one for me to come by. I still collect the 1922 sepia variations (I have almost 60 of those in addition to the 162 cards in the set)...

http://starsofthediamond.com/may2015pickup1.jpg

I also was able to pick up 3 more of the 1923 sepia players. For those not familiar with the set... It is likley that the 1923 Zeenuts were not going to be ready for production in time so they made 24 cards where they simply redated the 1922 cards and distributed them with new dates on front. The later "regular" 1923 cards are all black and white with no sepia highlights and all the poses of the players were changed to their new 1923 poses. This is a notoriously very tough set to complete among Zeenut guys, with these 3 it brings me up to 16 of 24...

Cool Rhett! Way cool.

[trdcrdkid]

Rhett --

One of my first vintage cards was a 1923 Zeenut of Chadbourne, bought through the mail in 1979. It's just a regular black and white, not one of those sepia ones.

[rhettyeakley]

Thanks for the kind words guys, I'm pretty happy to cross an entire set off the wantlist (nothing more satisfying than that!)

About those strange 1923's here are some examples just to show some examples of what the differences are...

That's weird... I can see in your quoted message you are linking a card in your gallery, but I'm not seeing it in this thread. Can you post it right in this thread, Dean? Not sure how Leon saw it....

Hope all is well! :cool:

Lol, sorry Pete! I was very lucky a friend parted with it for my set, which is the only Murray I've ever seen. I'm down to only needing a purple Wagner to complete my purple set. I've only seen one Wags, so that'll be a challenge for sure.

[GregMitch34]

Despite my best efforts, my only winning last night at Goldin and Memory Lane. M116s are sadly under-valued but this is highest graded at either SGC and PSA, is a 300 subjects and short print. Got at a seemingly great price--but like I said, who knows with M116s these days...Cool (odd) face, too.

Also, great card!

[VoodooChild]

Great stuff as always again this month guys. The RPPC Judy Johnson, 1923 Zeenut set, D304 Cy Young, Frederick Foto Ruth.....all I can say is wow!

I just picked up my first WaJo and have actually been looking for it for a couple of years now. Adding it to my Young and Matty makes a nice trio I think:

[Laxcat]

I picked this Clarke partial name on top up from a friend. I gave him a pittance for it. I told him that he could get more, but he just wanted some certified Rose Autos. DEAL!!

[CrazyDiamond]

Added a couple of more Eddie Collins' to the collection

Can I ask what auction that Dreyfuss letter was in last night? PM me if you'd like. Thanks

[MVSNYC]

Thanks to Derek with T206 Society for these 2 HOFers...another smooth transaction.

Thank you Mark for the kind words...

I also thought that I was very lucky with the opportunity to pick up this Dreyfuss letter for my collection.

I picked up a 2nd Tom Needham T207 to display with his Plow Boy Tobacco Cabinet.

It's one of my favorite T207s and this example has more red in the skin tones than my other example.

[pete zouras]

A card that's been on my want list for awhile. I didn't expect my bid to hold. Now in theory I can get rid of my Geitzen (I collect the three backgrounds from the baseball set and the Fogerty and Geitzen have the same background).

A couple pickups from the Robert Morris show:

[Joe_G.]

http://www.net54baseball.com/picture.php?albumid=459&pictureid=18405

An unusual addition to my collection; wasn’t sure if I should post here or on memorabilia side. It is an antique chest that based on patents and contents within likely dates from somewhere between 1873 and 1888. I purchased it from a dealer who specializes in antique trunks and he indicated he purchased it from Detroit.

What makes it interesting is how it was decorated with some 1888 Detroit Wolverine Scrapps (or more correctly, H. D. Smith & Co Baseball Gum Die-Cuts). The seller restored the chest but left all the original décor within untouched.

http://www.net54baseball.com/picture.php?albumid=459&pictureid=18406

The Scrapps include Bennett, Brouthers, Getzien, Dunlap/Hanlon, Richardson, and Thompson. It appears that the original/early owner initially included Dunlap in the collection but opted to place Hanlon’s head and name over him. Reasons for the update may be linked to Dunlap’s move to Pittsburgh for the 1888 season while all the others remained with Detroit. The Scrapps are not in particularly great shape but that doesn't matter to me and will remain as they are as long as the trunk is in my care.

Upgrades on two cards from my favorite set.

...borderless var.--only one I've seen in nine years so despite the top and bottom pinholes , it's a keeper . I've scanned it alongside a Type 2 . These are 1935 ( ? ) or 1936 Goudey Gum Premiums. Ole Doc Cramer doesn't even appear in the regular 120-card set = the Type 1's have that little ''Litho. In USA" down in the lower right corner .

[itjclarke]

Showed it off in the Heritage thread, but am so proud to add this Cobb.

Wow Chris, amazing Cobby. Congrats!

Picked up a nice looking Joe Dunn T206.

Thanks,

[Luke]

That Sov150 Cobb is awesome, congrats! Greg, you keep getting awesome eye appeal cards, good work!

Some new 150s for me:

[gregr2]

Thanks Luke, I'm going slow and I've been learning what to look for to try and find cards that look nice for the grade. It's a pretty steep learning curve but spending time on here looking and evaluating cards really helps when it comes time to make a purchase. Not sure why but I really enjoy those cards with the name at the top and bottom (I've got 3 now!).

[LKeeler]

Only 2 FULL game tickets have ever been slabbed by PSA and this is the only one ever to receive a numerical grade. It is a 2 based on some very light hairline creases that you need to really squint to see. Very much undergraded in my opinion but since its the only one ever with a numerical grade, I'll be ok! :rolleyes:

Peace, Mike

PS This ticket was another "raw" Vermont "find" that was recently slabbed among some incredible finds recently.

This is a terrific Cobb. Good luck with your quest for the other two. :)

Whoa. Sweet Cap-a-licious. That's a beauty.
Thanks Ed. This month's thread has really been filled with some great T206s. :)

[BicycleSpokes]

I am very happy to add this Cobb to my T206 collection (my 2nd); It is a 1, but a decent looking one!

[gregr2]

Nice Cobb David! That is a strong 1 for sure. Wonder why it graded so low...:confused:

[Robextend]

[Luke]

David, that's an incredible 1. Nice get!

[buymycards]

This card has a lot of neat things going for it. This is a tough player to find and it is one of the short prints. Plus, Almeida is from Cuba, and I am intrigued by the Cuban ball players. And finally, this card was made in Louisiana, so it fits into my Louisiana collection.

I picked up a foldout from 1905 with Lajoie and Chesbro on it. Thought it was pretty cool!

[t206fix]

Picked this up last weekend

[BicycleSpokes]

Nice Cobb David! That is a strong 1 for sure. Wonder why it graded so low...:confused:

Thanks Greg! Couldn't agree more. It looks like there is a speck of paper loss on the left front side, which I guess explains the 1 grade? Regardless, it is a fine specimen for this low-grade collector...

[4815162342]

I picked up a foldout from 1905 with Lajoie and Chesbro on it. Thought it was pretty cool!

My apologies. I stand corrected. Nice pickup.

What kind of cards are those ??? Never seen those before really cool looking !!!

[pherbener]

Picked them up from Heritage. Never saw them before. It's a full foldout. Was surprised it went so cheap with 2 HOFers especially Lajoie, from 1905!! Lot 83476...1905 Hackett's Fold-Out Photoengravings of Nap Lajoie, Jack Chesbro & Others....

[gregr2]

Very cool card Erick!

[rhettyeakley]

Pardon the obvious "Non-Sports" nature of the cards (and the overt Racism). With all that out of the way, I thought the baseball card enthusiast would appreciate this Uncataloged & rare E-card series as it is obviously closely related to the E125 American Caramel series of Baseball Players. The series was apparently looking to capitalize on the popularity of Teddy Roosevelt and his African hunting expeditions...

I got this one back from the grader a long time ago and somehow never got around to posting it in the '' Pick-Ups''....there are several fans of this set so I'm posting it for them , to know to add to their list of cards to watch for , since this one is not in all the checklists . The Burke 4 x 6 photo is in the scan because I just bought it because I thought it was the one used to make the card ( nerds often collect stuff like that...hey , I'm not alone here ). Wrong uniform and location though. Neat pose ; I've always thought of those Burkes as little works of photo-art.

It appears that I am collecting extra dark T206. It is nice to dig something that has no premium attached to it.

[freakhappy]

Adam...congrats on the color variances! Those are pretty sweet if I might say so myself :eek:

[ValKehl]

Go Nats!

Congrats on your nice pickup, which is one of my favorite WaJo cards. Congrats also on receiving a numerical grade from SGC, as I have assumed that a Baseball Bats card that doesn't have its orange (or white) border would receive an "A" grade.

Absolutely. And that Glasscock is a thing of beauty.

That sounded dirty but I didn't man it that way.

I wonder why the Auth designation. Snipped perhaps?

See what I did there?

[rednecksims]

Thanks guys. Im guessing the A was for it being trimmed. Just an amazing card that presents really well to me. Wanted a Young that didnt look like it had been crumpled into a ball, but I felt this was a good price and a decent starting point.

CJ 15s in high-grades now very hot--for some reason, and if PSA. Perhaps the 14s got too expensive to collect so some people now switching to 15s. Or they got sick from inhaling caramel flames. Or the PSA 7s and 8s are amazingly vivid (there are very few 9s).

Very happy with the mail man today, not so happy with my scanner. I couldn't wait to use the scanner at work on Monday, though. My first Carolina Brights, my first Piedmont factory 42, one of the cleanest Polar Bear I have seen, and a Obak I been wanting for a very long time.
