August pickups

[Eric72]

I find it surprising that nobody started a new pickup thread yet. After all, there is a somewhat significant show being held this weekend.

Let's see some new acquisitions, fellas.

Best regards and happy collecting,

Eric

[Thromdog]

Haven't posted in a while but have picked up 8 more since May. Total of 122. Slow going! Goal of 200 uniques.....

Got any to sell?? ;)

[Joshchisox08]

Thanks to Jeff for the t206's =)

Nice EPDG run you have going there. I was going to offer to help you out but I only have a Burchell as my sole EPDG but you already have it anyway.

And another member posted the 52 Pierce and the card looked amazing so thought I'd add one to my collection seeing as I'm a Sox fan.

[mrvster]

great pick ups!!!

jeff, have you come across any "F" stamped epdgs???? I have been tracking the f scott fitz's....a lot on epdg:)

[donmuth]

I didn't see this one in your spread, but if I just missed it sorry.

Any interest in a trade?

I Need:
AB 460 back
Cycle 350 back
AB 350 no frame back
Sovereign 150 back

Some guy I never heard of but pretty sure he didn't play for the Reds.

Great eye appeal, great card. Must be thrilled, congrats.

Yes I am. I went to sell some stuff and found that at a great price with cash in pocket.

[MattyC]

Really want to thank Sean1125 for thinking of me when this card came across his radar. It graded out at the show the other day. I've owned higher technical grades of this card, but this one is far and away my favorite and the keeper of all of them, due to its registration/focus. I love the colors and image on the '41 PlayBall Joe D, and how it represents his hallowed accomplishment that year. But it always seems the damn thing has ghostly halo effects around the top border line, his shoulder, his bat, and especially round the face-- rendering it so blurry. Thanks, Sean. Finally a '41 PB Joe D that I can look at without feeling like I've had a few too many cocktails-- cheers!

Awesome Joltin Joe! As you mentioned, a tough card to find centered and with the registration.

That Burgess card is pretty awesome. I don't look much at post war cards, but this has me pondering it.

Steve I didn't buy that one the seller had it in the scan with the Pierce. I was thinking about it though nice colors and cool looking card.

I'm sure it's still listed BIN $19.99

Thank you, Mike.

[ls7plus]

Someday I WILL get a scanner, but thanks to fellow board member Glynn Parsons for making it possible for me to acquire a 1913-1915 Pinkerton Christy Mathewson at the National. One of just two graded by PSA, and none graded by SGC. Thanks also to Leon for his expert advice as to the likely number in existence (you guys know I like 'em RARE) and avoiding the one graded "authentic" (poor eye appeal that even the scorecard back couldn't make up for in my eyes) in favor of Glynn's much better card!

Plus, purchased a very nice, well-centered 1934 Gold Medal Flour Dizzy Dean (a set issued to commemerate the '34 World Series) in PSA 3. To me, it represents the NL's last 30 game winner in his best season (Dean was 30-7 that year, with a 2.66 ERA, and led the league in strikeouts when there weren't that many of them with, I believe, 195, in a year when the league's ERA was 4.06). Fabulous pitcher before hurting first his toe and then his shoulder when he tried to come back too soon.

Best wishes,

Larry

[brass_rat]

Only picked up a few things at National, these being the most interesting. :)

Side note, I really need to work on scanning rather than taking bad phone photos of cards...

Cheers,

Oops. I am truly sorry :o.

It's alright. It's not as though I'm going to run out of cards to spend my money on.

[Joshchisox08]

More from Jeff don't get the 2 on this Quillen at all :eek:

He's always been on my list as he played with the hitless wonders though he didn't play in the series and didn't last long.

My collecting funds are limited so anytime I am able to add a pre-war HOFer it is cause for a celebration.

[Jobu]

I should have included these three dudes in my previous post too.

[Luke]

More nice ones Bryan!

It's been a great week for me. Added a bunch of nice cards for my 150-350 run with some tough backs sprinkled in, including a Jennings portrait with full names on top and bottom. Also added my new favorite card!

A couple more EPDGs from my buddy Jeff. And I don't know why I bought the Konetchy, but it is such a beauty I couldn't resist. This week keeps getting better!

Not vintage photos, but one of the under--appreciated group of players, 1919-25 St Louis Browns outfield of Ken Williams, Baby Doll Jacobson and Jack Tobin. Going to put together some type of display(8x12 photos), not exactly sure what yet

[rhettyeakley]

Some recent pickups (including some from The National), the 29 Gomez and 28 Averill are upgrades...

The last one isn't anything special to non-Zeenut guys but it is a very tough card. In the 1927 checklist you will see two versions of the Ralph Shinners card, one with the normal "27" date on front and another with "1927" (which is the only card in the set like that). The "1927" is one that I had never seen before. Happy to get it.

Nice group of Zeenuts, Rhett. Ever come across the '15 Coveleski?

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

Ok, this is my first T206 EVER and my first effort at beginning my quest at collecting the Polar Bear backs for starters. This might be a shade lower grade than most of the rest I will buy as I go along, but I couldn't pass this up! Can't wait for it to arrive! Thanks, Luke!

[Hankphenom]

Nice photos. You might be able to find autographs of those three to mat with the photos

[familytoad]

Not the best scan, but a super cool (Ice Cream;)) card...

[svtPONY95]

Best-looking Johnson 1 I've ever seen. Does it have a back?
Yes , it has some paper loss though.

[mrvster]

Congrats!!!! great choice sir.:).....plus a partial 2 namer.....

polar bears backs are great:cool:..............

keep 'em coming!

[Hankphenom]

Yes , it has some paper loss though.

"Some paper loss!" That's it? So because of that, your card gets the same grade as one that was run over by a monster truck in a septic tank runoff field. Congratulations to you, owner of the greatest proof I've ever seen of the adage, "Buy the card, not the holder."

[Luke]

That Heilmann is incredible Brian! Never seen that issue before.

[rjackson44]

Love it

[Leon]

Great cards everyone.

Rhett- nice pick up on the Arbuckle. One of my favorite Zeenuts for sure.

http://www.starsofthediamond.com/19zeearbuckle.jpg

[z28jd]

Nice photos. You might be able to find autographs of those three to mat with the photos

I was originally looking for cards, but nothing was coming up for Tobin. His autograph can be had and so can Jacobson, but Williams is pricey. Died in 1959, first 30/30 player gives him popularity and rareness. If I could get one at a reasonable price, then I'd just pick up the other two

[Jobu]

That is a fun one - nice cards both of you! I wish it wasn't so pricey, my dad called me Fatty Arbuckle when I was a baby so it would be fun to get.

Great cards everyone.

Rhett- nice pick up on the Arbuckle. One of my favorite Zeenuts for sure.

That Heilmann is incredible Brian! Never seen that issue before.

Thanks Luke, it may not be a multi K :D:D but I like it.

It should present better in the black slab, so it's being readied for a tomb.
Pretty rare issue, and since its a HOF, it's in my wheelhouse.

Great August pickup thread so far , guys. With the national and some great AH offerings, this thread could be a real stunner this month:eek:

[rustywilly]

Rhett - Great talking with you in Chicago. Love the Fatty.
Brian - Nice pickup on the Heilmann. Its a great card. Congrats!

[familytoad]

Rhett - Great talking with you in Chicago. Love the Fatty.
Brian - Nice pickup on the Heilmann. Its a great card. Congrats!

Thanks Mark!
I know you have one, and I guess a handful others are out there not many.

But the kudos from you and your outstanding collection are greatly appreciated.
Yours is a similar vein...HOFers in as many different sets as possible.
Heck, anything is possible:p

[glchen]

Very happy to pick up these difficult cards that I've been looking for a while. For the 1926 Exhibits, I believe this is finally the correct color tint in the right holder and not mislabeled like many of these are.

I always thought the exhibits with the info in the box were 1925 and without the box were 1926

[smtjoy]

Congrats Gary, that was my consignment and its definitely a 1926.

On the 1925 vs 1926, some 1926 have the box some do not, the main way to tell them apart is the blue tint.

[shernan30]

Nice group of OJs!!

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up this nice Mickey LaLonge 1910 Obak (150 Subjects) from David Levin. The added bonus was I didn't have this slogan ad back.

Thanks again David!

Now need just a Hap Hogan (150 Subjects) to complete my "catcher card" run in this subset.

Welcome to the club !!! Now you're hooked.

[tbob]

Still scouring the auctions and ebay for the remaining color variation E94s but in the mean time I decided to make another run at completing the real monster, the T210 set (less Jackson and Stengel). Picked these off eBay from David B. and filled a few holes.

Pair of, what appear to be, hand cut T206 HOFers. Duffy is more dramatic but Flick has a definite bow cut on the large border side.

I was going to bid on Leon's E222 Shag... It is getting too rich for my blood so I made a few purchases to ease the pain. If I can't afford to work on the Shag collection(I did pick up a great Shag postcard off of the BST)These 3 bring my Red Cobb back run to 4. :)

I picked this up off of the BST. Great card. I really like the slight off register that makes him look like he is looking up.

I got a pretty good variety of stuff from the National. Knocked a few things off my list, upgraded a few, and picked up some random impulse items. I was especially happy to get the Oxford Confectionery Grimes because I almost missed it hiding under another card...

Ok, I know it is just a common, but it is my first T206 that I actually have in hand. I am excited and just had to share! I have purchased 4 others from fellow board members (all Polar Bears) that should be here in the next day or two. Don't worry I won't subject you to several more posts of individual commons...I will wait until I get the other 4 together. Five down and only 245 to go to make the Polar Bear run happen. :D

Cool cards. That South African one really pops.

[darwinbulldog]

Henry Johnsons and W514s from Leon/Heritage, D304 from Bob Lemke. This is the exact card that was photographed for the D304 entry in the Standard Catalog, which I think is pretty cool.

[cracker_jack]

Thanks Leon. Also, that E104-1 Collins is awesome!

Thanks to Luke Lyon and Scott Gross, I am on my way with Polar Bear backs. I now have a whopping 5. My first one was graded. After receiving these, I am not so sure that I don't love them more ungraded and natural. I'm sure I will have graded and ungraded as I go but there's just something about them outside of the slab...

Beautiful! Congrats!

[TheKid41]

I picked up this Exhibit from Leon's auction yesterday. Thank you Leon!

I love this card. It features a young Dimaggio at the start of his career and Gehrig wrapping his up. Kind of a Yankee Passing of the Torch card. I'm not sure if they share any other cards during both of their playing years. Anyone know of any others?

[clydepepper]

I was able to pick up this magnificent trio from Leon's Type Card Auction:

The 1904 WG2 Fan Craze Eddie Plank is my second different Plank card;


The 1923 WG7 Walter Mails Game - Walter Johnson is my second 'Double-Walter' from this set (the other being Mr. Mails himself);


The 1904 Allegheny Card Co. - Joe McGinnty is my sixth Allegheny and my first Hall-of-Famer from this one-of-one set.

Thanks again - Leon

decent additions, I guess

[mrvster]

Nice Walter.

[freakhappy]

Go ahead...anyone...try to follow Brad up, I dare you! Beautiful pickups, Brad...just sick!!!:eek:

Robert...nice Polar Bears! My second T206 was Dots Miller. For some reason, Dots loves to break the ice in beginner's collections :cool: Good luck moving forward!

[Laxcat]

Love the Texas Leaguers. Couldn't find these in Texas when I was a kid. Thanks EBay(and Frank)

[pencil1974]

Thanks Mike!

[gregr2]

Thanks Robert and Sean. So happy to have that card in my collection.

[Joshchisox08]

Thanks to Luke Lyon and Scott Gross, I am on my way with Polar Bear backs. I now have a whopping 5. My first one was graded. After receiving these, I am not so sure that I don't love them more ungraded and natural. I'm sure I will have graded and ungraded as I go but there's just something about them outside of the slab...

Nice Bescher Rob !!!! I almost popped on that one. Polar Bears are the best !!! And a double name too boot ! Still don't have a double named card.
:rolleyes:

Doing great here. Are you planning to do the Nat in AC next year? I'm definitely going to try (hopefully work won't interfere!)

I picked up this Exhibit from Leon's auction yesterday. Thank you Leon!

I love this card. It features a young Dimaggio at the start of his career and Gehrig wrapping his up. Kind of a Yankee Passing of the Torch card. I'm not sure if they share any other cards during both of their playing years. Anyone know of any others?

Great pickup bud! Thats a tough card to get. I just sold the Dimaggio original photo used for that card to a buddy. He buys photos used in cards then will buy the actual card. He does a nice framing job to them to display them. He had a really tough time finding that card. Its not one that you usually can find on ebay.

There is another card with Dimaggio/Gehrig which was made released in 38'. Its the 38' exhibit 4 on 1(Dimaggio/Gehrig/Dickey/Gomez)

[TheKid41]

Thank you. That's interesting about the photo/card collection your friend has, Lewis. I imagine he has some T206 cards based off of Charles Conlon photographs as well?

[Brian Van Horn]

Not for the faint of heart:

What a card!! Nice pickup Brian. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Thank you, Steven.

[shernan30]

Had 2 of my "I didn't go to National" purchases arrive today thanks to Jay (OldJudge).

Ed "Cannonball" Morris played for the 1884 Columbus Buckeyes before being sold to Pittsburgh at the end of the season with the rest of the team.

http://www.net54baseball.com/picture.php?albumid=587&pictureid=18954

Jack Crooks played on the 1889 - 1891 Columbus Solons, but never had a card issued with that team. He did have this issue with the St. Louis Whites and another one with Omaha (still searching for that one).

[Jobu]

That right there is an august August pickup! Very nice.

Nice cards this month, y'all.
I found an auction house that was selling some baseball cards tonight...I managed to get this one...

[rhettyeakley]

Picked up a few more 1918's (pretty tough year!)

Dat's a Purdy one, Greg!

[T206Collector]

So I added these to my collection.

That green Ruth is absolutely killer!

[daves_resale_shop]

Have had this one for about a year, but wanted to get it put in an sgc holder... Brought it to white plains and was stoked when it came back with a half grade bump...

[freakhappy]

That's a beautiful Williams, Dave...congrats!

[h2oya311]

I hadn't checked this thread out this month until this morning...great stuff guys!

Mark - I absolutely LOVE that 1940's Leon Day PC. That will go perfectly with your collection. It would look better in mine, but I like checking yours out every other month or so!

I also love the PSA 1 WaJo T206. Great looking card! And that's comin' from a non-T206 guy.

And Rhett, your Zeenuts are absolutely killer! Your '29 Gomez is a mighty fine lookin' one.

This month is lookin' pretty good so far! Keep 'em comin'!

P.S: That Magie/Magee is making me drool. :rolleyes:

[T206Collector]

Luke has some very nice T206s up for sale on the B/S/T. I couldn't help myself from buying a few. Been looking for a nice blue-sleeved Abba for awhile now...

It's been a great couple weeks :D

It's been a great couple weeks :D

Looking to sell that Leach Luke ;)

[Luke]

I'm looking to sell this Leach now :cool:

[Joshchisox08]

I'll pass I've become smitten about paper loss. HOF'ers are the only minute exception even then I'd rather not.

But if you have another Leach portrait I'll be interested !!!! I know a couple other people have them but the Sov just adds to it. Jealous of your new cards that Young is a beauty.

Camera photo of 1956-57 Chicle (Cuban) #5 Silvio Garcia and 1931 Diana Cigarillos (Venezuelan) #5 Luis Carratu hits. Both acquired in person from the owner of CubanBaseballCards.com. I'd never seen the 1931 card before and only had a shot at the Garcia once or twice on eBay. Great additions to the type collection!

[ZiggerZagger]

Especially pleased about the Gehrig -- it arrived yesterday after a frantic deal with a very nice private collector.
It's my first Gehrig and, as a Neurologist who treats ALS, it will have a special place in my collection.

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up this E92 Dockman to go with my E101 Bergen.

My dad turned these three pictures of the 1919-25 St Louis Browns outfield that I posted earlier this month, into the framed photo shown below. Wood frames, some fancy cuts, with paint that has a concrete look/feel. I switched Williams to RF and Tobin to LF because it looked better that way with their poses

You could have compared the current Pirates' outfield to the one in the pictures. Both pretty good groups

Found on eBay and now tied with N508 for my "earliest" #5 type acquisition:

[the-illini]

Thanks for the kind words everyone - I took a chance on a raw card with a so-so scan off of ebay and it turned out to be a great gamble!

[Thromdog]

Saw this a few moons ago on eBay and couldn't justify the price..... so when it came up as part of a lot, had to have it.

Still paid more than it's worth.

I guess he was born in a Manger. ;)

And if anyone can explain the background going yellow while his head appears ok, I'm all ears. It's the blue, right???

Be very careful with that Negro League team photo, it might very well be a fake. You should be able to tell by viewing it in person.

it's like the glue/adhesive drew off the blue, including part of his collar.....really cool looking.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news.....the dahlen is 100% chemical damage....I'm sorry to inform you....but still a decent card:)

[Thromdog]

sorry to be the bearer of bad news.....the dahlen is 100% chemical damage....I'm sorry to inform you....but still a decent card:)

No No! I already knew that or at least assumed it..... so no bad news!

I'm just trying to figure out how it only hit up the blue color (or the blue part of the green background) while not touching his face......it's really odd and why I like it.

[Laxcat]

Shag Hindu with Lloyd Bolton backstamp. Still looking for an unmarked one.

[daves_resale_shop]

Pretty stoked to get this ac dietsch cobb in the mail today... Great appeal despite the low technical grade... And a big thanks to Dave Schrader of Bagger's...if you haven't dealt with him, I'd suggest you do... He's a pleasure to deal with.

[Louieman]

Just came in the mail today! One of my instant favorites
