I don't usually post in the pickup threads, but I want to start March with a thank you to Bryan (Jobu) for pointing out this one that arrived today and has been on my want list for a long time. I likely overpaid, but with these only coming up in what seems like 18 month gaps and missing the last few...I could care less. :D

Happy with this one. I missed out on a low grade one that the Detroit Pawn guys sold on eBay last year. This one fits my collection to a "T" and is proof another will come along eventually!

I sent out a message on bst for a nicely centered e90-1 Cobb with good color and image. I thought I would get no response because these cards are so tough to find centered. Not only did a member respond with the perfect card, but it is the very card I had been angry that I missed on REA. Thank god for n54.

Awesome Cobb, Orlando. By the way, I sent a pm saying the same thing but autocorrect turns Cobbs into Cons when I hit send. Stupid spellcheck.

Actually my comment on your pickup caused Bryan to point this auction out to me.

It all worked in a perfect circle. :D

Got these three Old Mill cards from another member of the board (thanks Ben!) and I absolutely LOVE them!

I think I am starting to get hooked on these little tiny cards. I am up to three of these, two T206, three M116, and one Old Judge.

I am sitting here, doing homework, and my Steinbach is on the table right in front of me! I think he is my favorite. That is, until Ben talks me into buying more of them! Lol.

I didn't acquire the entire Cleveland commons subset in February/March, but I did receive the last one I needed (Terry Turner) in March. I also knocked off 2 more T206 HoFers that I got for steals of deals, and the eBay seller was so nice I wanted to throw him a bone and buy 2 more of his auctions. Got the '62 Cassady (Go Browns; I know, I know, y'all are sorry for me) and a nice Boggs RC for my HoF PC. Hopefully my next March pickup is the house we're waiting to close on...

I was surprised to be the initial bidder the day the auction opened, and win it with the one bid. I know the ink on the back should have resulted in a MK designation, but still, a really nice O'Hara, as far as I can see.

Once again, a prayer is answered on the BST. In this case, two prayers. The 1908 Brush Ty Cobb (mislabeled 1910) and the Max Stein. Each of these cards have a known graded population of 5. The Brush is best known specimen. The Max Stein would be graded higher were it not for two small holes on top from a removed staple. Needless to say, I am thrilled.

I was going to guess players on teams in Tennessee. Then looked and that would leave you with 35.

I am just a amateur T210 collector, good luck on your quest.:)

Ben, you are no amateur. I now have 6 of the 39 series eight cards that are not in the T211 set, which are possibly the toughest 39 in that series (like the Birmingham and Memphis cards). I was just seeing if I could get any response to one of my posts. Like the O'Hara I posted, I post cards that are a big deal to me, and often get no response. It makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong? Anyway, I'm glad someone sees my cards, thanks!

This is an awesome site but unless you are posting a very expensive card it rarely gets any response in the monthly show off threads.

I am having enough trouble finding beaters in my price range in the T210's that I have not attempted any of the T211 cards.:)

Ben, I thought we were a group of collectors who shared a love for cards. Isn't this the place to share recent acquisitions regardless of price? I view it as a place that I can share my excitement with the only people on earth who would understand. To call it "showing off" is disrespectful and Presumptuous. I personally don't need to "show off" a damn thing. And since I didn't print the card, am not related to Ty Cobb, and did not cure Polio, I am not sure what there would be to show off about. I am sharing my excitement with the only people who will appreciate it since my wife, kids, and friends don't. I have always liked your posts, and you seem like a decent guy, but that is out of line.

Guys,

You both are really good guys on here. I don't think Ben was aiming at you, Orly, or your beautiful Cobbs. It was just a response to me. I think we have enough strife on other threads, and I was not trying to make any kind of statement one way or the other. I really was just curious if anyone read anything I write, because I rarely get any kind of response. Both of you are top notch guys that appreciate the cards, price be darned. I value the contributions of both you guys. Sorry if my comment got things off track here, and I hope we can all be friendly with our discourses. Let's all have a fun day, I hope?

Ed

Thanks, Jason, I was stoked to get them. That O'Hara is just puzzling me. When a card sells on my one bid, way under what I thought it would sell for, I always wonder if there is something I am missing. Then, I post it here, and start thinking by the silence, people don't want to tell me that I got suckered by my purchase. Anyway, enough of me for a while.

I was just stating a fact that high priced and high graded cards get all the replies. The lower end stuff is just as nice to see but rarely get any replies. This has been brought up many times before. It was not meant to be derogatory against anybody.

I picked this up in Feb., but just getting around to posting it now. Not sure what happened to it - some type of art deco creation. It looks like someone painted a blue rectangle around the back of Moses, then used white paint to outline him. Finally, they used a red pen to make Xs all around his silhouette. Also, they glued his name on a piece of paper that is partially covered. In hand, it's actually pretty cool to look at! Any info on what/why this is what it is would be appreciated!

Ha! I won one of those too and was thinking the exact same thing. I even thought about it as I was paying that I should wait until morning to see if an ebay bucks offer popped up, but decided to pay instantly. At least I think you got yours for a decent price. I had a nuclear snipe blow up in my face. Oh well, it happens...

Let's just say the price of this card was drastically cut.

Nice Morehouse by the way. I was thinking on bidding on one of them for the type collection, but have decided to concentrate all my future efforts on picking up E98 cards ripped in half.

Ed -- Great cards, thanks for sharing! I, for one, often don't know when to chime in to say "great card!" although I think it often when looking through the pickups thread. I guess I don't want to point out one card and leave others thinking that their cards weren't appreciated as well! So I end up saying nothing...

Anyways, I received this in the mail today...I love this pose with the sunset background.

Tony,

Not sure what that Yellowhorse picture is but, on the back it mentions something about the Plain Dealer Library from 1965. The Plain Dealer is the main daily newspaper still operating in Cleveland, Ohio, Possibly came from them and something they did? Not sure but, maybe a place to check with.

My most recent addition is nothing spectacular...

https://www.collectorfocus.com/images/show/tom26964/t206-white-sox-master-set/49174/jones-fielder-portrait

It is rather significant for me though, as it represents the 200th different front/back combo for my White Sox T206 master set that I'm working on.

Only about 110 more to go 'til it's finished...:rolleyes:

So these came today. The little red one the fedex driver decided to leave on my front porch without signature. Thank goodness I was home quickly to get it!! Dream card #1 down. Cobb not bad either. Cobb will be shipped off to PSA for a new shell.

You win March.

I was surprised to be the initial bidder the day the auction opened, and win it with the one bid. I know the ink on the back should have resulted in a MK designation, but still, a really nice O'Hara, as far as I can see.

The ink doesn't bother me at all. It looks like the Polar Bear color of ink so to me it adds a little something.

Love that Sisler. I live near Akron, OH, which is where Sisler is from. My Grandpa played high school ball in Akron, and minor league ball in Findlay, OH. Before he passed a couple years ago, he talked about knowing Sisler. I wish I had picked my Grandpa's brain a bit more and listened to his stories more carefully. I forget in which capacity he knew George, whether it be an encounter on the ball diamond, or somewhere around Akron through work. Nonetheless, awesome card.

Very interesting card of Frank Frisch from 1931 from Japan. About the size of a T-206.

That Frisch is a beauty.

I just picked up a treasure trove of 1940s Japanese cards pasted onto album pages here, including most of the big name hall of famers (Kawakami, Betto, Besho, Oshita, Starffin, etc) of the era.

29 cards for a total price of less than $50 US including shipping. This is what I love about collecting here: you can still find scarce vintage gems for extremely cheap prices here (granted they do have paste on their backs, but they are still beautiful). Similar MLB stuff would be out of my price range.

Put some more close up pics of individual cards here:

Nice find! The text on the back says "...he hit 60 home runs the year before last..." so that would definitely date the card to 1929.

Beautiful card. Whoa.

Very happy to win this w529-8 ifs sheet to match the second "yellow tint" version that I already have.

Gary - I saw that one but didn't really know what it was. If I recall, the item description said W516-2 or something to that effect.

Very neat strip card sheet! Congrats on the pick-up!

Thanks, Derek! Yep, Heritage incorrectly described the item as a W516-2 sheet, which is funny because they also auctioned the other one as part of Leon's auction in 2015 with the correct set name.

I've been looking for a nice example of this card for a while. I thought this one had some great color and eye appeal for a "4".

Sick color on that one. Great card!

Joey, I assume there is some back damage resulting in the grade, but that is a great looking "1" of a Hall of Famer.

Thanks man. Someone wrote "1911 2nd B" very small on the back but otherwise very clean

Ah yes, the ultra rare T206 Ty Cobb 'black background'......I've only heard stories of said card.

No one seemed to notice my O'Hara earlier, so I will see if this gets a response. Six down, 33 to go, what do I mean by this statement? (for the advanced T210 collectors) :D

Ed - I don't frequent this site as much as I would like to, but I just ran across this thread and your pickups! 2 rare cards right there. Chattanooga boys!

Very nice -

That Frisch is a beauty.

I just picked up a treasure trove of 1940s Japanese cards pasted onto album pages here, including most of the big name hall of famers (Kawakami, Betto, Besho, Oshita, Starffin, etc) of the era.

29 cards for a total price of less than $50 US including shipping. This is what I love about collecting here: you can still find scarce vintage gems for extremely cheap prices here (granted they do have paste on their backs, but they are still beautiful). Similar MLB stuff would be out of my price range.

Put some more close up pics of individual cards here:

That Starffin 3rd prize card is nice. I recently picked that one up myself for my Starffin collection.

Speaking of Japanese cards & Starffin, picked up 2 of my grail cards in same week.
This is a circa 1950 Japanese bromide card of Victor Starffin with a nice blue fountain pen signature.

I will have to dig it out tomorrow but my T210 Miller is miscut nearly identical to yours.

This month will go down in the record book for me. I will not be buying any other cards for a while. Had to send off majority of cards to auction to afford this! Thanks to AJ this Ty found a nice home with Joe. Can't believe I picked up both of these in the same month. Now where is Christy? haha. Won't be able to afford that one any time soon.
