April Pickups

[T206Collector]

I'll start it off this month -- and I'm not making an April Fool's joke here! -- I am absolutely thrilled to be adding a new signed T206 card to my collection, thanks to a trade with another collector who has his own awesome signed T206 collection going. It's nice when collecting competitors can mutually work to fill holes in each other's collections! Thanks Art! (Net54 ID: rebelsart)

Heinie Zimmermann (2x WS Champ) is the 44th unique pose in my signed T206 collection:

Just "picked up" 7-8" inches of heavy wet snow. Wished it was an April Fool's joke here in Maine.

Some guys buy a Porsche or get a young girlfriend for their midlife crisis. I prefer fishing. Caught this on the very day I turned 40.

Awesome card! As a signed vintage collector myself, I am quite envious of your collection...keep it up! :)




Technically this one arrived yesterday, but I'll post it here. Was an impulse buy to get use of the 'Spend $50+ get 10% ebay bucks' promo they had going. Dickman (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dickmem01.shtml) (D. 81) has a great looking sig. (Not much of a career though)

Fantastic Cobb Orlando! Congrats!

Loved the auto'd cards as well.

A great start to April!

[bnorth]

Received these in the mail today from a trade with a fellow member. Added 3 more to my T206 cigarette brand back run.:)

[Rhotchkiss]

Actually got these closing days of March, but hey. Busy (and expensive) end of the month. Thank You Johnny and Kevin!! (Fixed Pics, thanks Bryan)

[bbcard1]

I saw this kind of chucked in the back corner of a showcase. At $35, I thought it was a bargain. Reasonably tough issue and a hall of famer to book albeit a football hall of famer.

I was the owner of that drum hofman from about 1992-2001 or so... I sold it and bought a leather reclining chair that my cat proceeded to destroy with the proceeds! I bought that card at a Silver Spring Armory show in Silver Spring Maryland when I was living with my parents in the year 1992 or so! The card was listed for $37 and while I wanted to haggle because it was so beat up I decided against it!!!

Very interesting. You do realize that the original game pieces were issued and in subsequent years, stickers were issued to put over the bottom part of the piece to reflect the players for that particular year. It is likely that if you removed to paper covering the bottom of one of your pieces, there would be another player printed there.

[Enfuego]

Good start to April, keep them coming!!

Some info from OCB:
From 1920's game by National Game Makers of Wash, DC
Game: "Major League Ball--The Indoor BB Game Supreme"
Fourteen die-cut player cards used for each team
All 16 teams represented; roster varied each year
Generic player position poses repeated for each team
Same pose for each position; coloring keyed to team

So I wouldn't try taking the paper off of them as it will most likely be blank underneath.

Definitely would leave it alone. Just found it interesting. Is a way of dating a particular year as my Great great uncle was in the 1921 issue of the game and there was no sticker on his game piece.

[nolemmings]

Actually there could be printing from the initial 1921 printing or perhaps a "sticker" from a prior year (or blank). Ironically, neither of Kenny's two Zach Wheat's depict the left fielder from the game.

[ValKehl]

Kenny, here's a pic of my complete sheet of the Washington Senators team. Most likely, it was issued in 1921, as 1921 was the last year that Jose Acosta and Frank O'Rourke played for the Senators, and 1921 was the first year for Goose Goslin and George Mogridge.

[nolemmings]

Hey Val, that Joe Judge would look good in my collection. Think you could poke it out and sell it to me?-- I think those pieces go for $30-40 or so each.
Appreciate it.

[Rich Falvo]

Not my favorite set, but I wanted one for my Providence collection.

Here is a piece to add to my RedSox collection!

Neal-Hooper died in 1974. When was that reprint produced?

[ValKehl]

Hey Val, that Joe Judge would look good in my collection. Think you could poke it out and sell it to me?-- I think those pieces go for $30-40 or so each.
Appreciate it.

Sure Todd, be glad to! :D

Would you also like me to sell you this Joe Judge card that I picked up in the LOTG auction?

[nolemmings]

Sure! I bid on that Gertenrich until it started to leave my budget (i.e. pretty early). I thought the card looks nicer than the grade, but that can be said for all Joe Judge cards :).

I suppose I've got no shot on the Holland Creameries Joe Judge coming up in REA?

The Gertenrich-Judge card went for more than I was hoping to get it for, but it was my numero uno "had-to-have-it" card in the LOTG auction.

I do have all of the Hollands cards, except the near impossible Peckinpaugh, but the majority are in pathetic condition, including Judge. I have been slowly upgrading my Hollands, as my budget will allow. Whether I go after the Judge example in REA depends what other goodies in REA appeal to me more.

[greenmonster66]

The Hooper signed Cracker Reprint card was produced by TCMA back in 1972.

[tiger8mush]

Sure Todd, be glad to! :D

Nice pickup Val. Was wondering who outbid me at 4am, thought I was the only one collecting the set :) Tough to find 'em w/o paper loss. Glad its staying in the net54 family!

[greenmonster66]

recent pick up!

I was able to pick up this tough color combo recently...

That is a great card Orlando and the "Wagner" of Postcards. Congrats on the pickup as you probalbly won't see any more of those come up in public auction anytime soon.

Here are a couple of My April pickups which my Birthday is this month as I turn 50!

Rob, thanks for the kind words. I suspect you are the only one collecting the Gertenrich set. The reason I wanted to win this card so badly is that it fits both of my top collecting focuses - type cards and cards of all the players on the 1924 Senators championship team.

I agree, the Gertenrich cards are tough to find w/o paper loss on the back - ditto for the Holmes to Homes cards. And, I'm anal about not having paper loss on the backs of my type cards that have neat ads on the backs.

[scotty21690]

Had a feeling that might have been you who snagged that one.....nice pick up!! :)

Wow is that a good looking 2. Nevermind the rounded corners - the centering and surface is beautiful. Good color, too. Congrats!

[greenmonster66]

Nice pick ups for my BoSox Collection!

[pokerplyr80]

Thanks guys I really like the art work on the cards in that set. They sure don't make em like they used to. Lots of great pickups so far this month. Love the Cobb Orlando.

[brass_rat]

I had hoped to land the LOTG beauty on Saturday, but I came up short. I did, however, manage to track this one example down on Sunday, and it arrived today!

It's not pretty as the other one, but it looks better in hand than the scan gives it credit for. :)

[yanksfan09]

Great Wagner!

[Beansballcardblog]

Wow...beautiful! I would have been shaking and I seen that. He coached football at my alma mater (West Virginia) and I'm looking to add one of these to my collection at some point.

I saw this kind of chucked in the back corner of a showcase. At $35, I thought it was a bargain. Reasonably tough issue and a hall of famer to book albeit a football hall of famer.

[ullmandds]

I was able to pick up this tough color combo recently...

I have been looking for a purple Murray for 15 years now... it seems everyone has one now except me !!!☹️️

[Bicem]

Nice Steve. I once owned that Wagner and agreed, it does look better in person. Great find.

[VintageBen]

The last time that I was thinking about purchasing a Babe Ruth card, I snoozed. I learned my lesson.

[canjond]

Two for the set... both low grade, but with some great eye appeal IMO.

[brass_rat]

Nice Steve. I once owned that Wagner and agreed, it does look better in person. Great find.

Thanks, Erick and Jeff!

[edjs]

Jon, great cards. Absolutely love them both. Mine are no where near as nice. Steve, that is a Wagner to be proud of, I only wish I could have one.

[brass_rat]

Thank you Ed.

Also, Jon -- those are beautiful D304s...great cards from a bright set.

[Kawika]

Jon: I am the previous owner of your D304 Cobb. It resided happily in my set for the past eight or nine years. I had a second one, an "Authentic" that presents as pristine, so decided to let Al have a go with the SGC20. Don't remember what I paid for it but I think it did pretty well. You did just fine; I don't think D304 Cobbies will ever diminish in desirability or value. Good luck with the rest of your set. Some beautiful cards to be had. Tenney was the big toughie for me and Young wasn't easy either.

My set: http://imageevent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika/sportscardsetc/baseball/d304brunnersbread

[orly57]

Ben: great card that presents extremely well for the grade. The community is finally taking notice of those big beautiful exhibits.

Jon: beautiful cards. Congrats

Great cards everyone.

Here is a fringe item for me, an imperial cabinet (13" x 7 1/2") of actress Helen Dauvray, commissioner of the first World Championship trophy (the Dauvray Cup) that was first awarded to Detroit Wolverines in 1887. For a short time Helen was also the wife of HOFer John Ward.

[orly57]

Beautiful pickup Greg!!! Amazing shape!!! Love it.

[TobaccoKing4]

Just picked up my first McGraw earlier today. Not as impressive as some of the killer cards in this thread but I was happy to pick up a legendary HOFer and my 71st card towards the T206 set which I'm hoping to complete in the not so distant future.

I sold one of these years ago, have missed it since, got the chance to trade back into one:

Yay!

[Bill77]

Just got these two this week. Bought the Newt Randall with Ebay bucks because I just found out he grew up and is buried in Duluth MN which is very close to where I live. Just think it is cool to have a T206 player in my local area.

I'm starting the T205 NY Giants team set. Please let me know if you have any SGC graded in the 3-5ish range.

http://i.imgur.com/Ovozd2k.jpg?1

[Kawika]

Maxjacks: Very nice N162 and T205. I'm a Giants fan from Polo Grounds days. Some of the wags around here will say that I saw Keefe and Raymond play but it's fake truth. I collected the NYG T205s a few years back, a fun little project. [I did not collect them from cigaret packs; bought most of them off eBay]. Have a look if you like: http://imageevent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika/sportscardsetc/baseball/t205goldbordersnewyorkgiants

[baztacula]

My recent pickups have an 1887 focus. It was the year Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde was first performed on stage. It starred Richard Mansfield, who is featured on the tobacco card, cigar box and creepy framed photograph. This was also the year that Detroit won its first ever baseball championship and the year of the Tobin lithograph of Dan Brouthers. I'd say the Brouthers card is one of the most amusing cards, 19th Century or otherwise, that I've ever seen. The Mansfield inscription reads: "Your sight shall be blasted by a prodigy to stagger your unbelief of Satan."

[Vintagecatcher]

Leon,

Congrats on the Orange T210. Very nice looking card.

Patrick, its good to see you finally landed a Thoss to complete the subset. A beauty at that. When I saw it in LOTG I hoped you would land it. I for one am looking forward to seeing the group all together!

Actually just saw the link and that is a very fine looking group. Congrats.

[Jason]

T210 orange...

Nice OB Leon. I was the underbidder in an upgrade attempt. Johnston was my first OB card I ever purchased.

[BeanTown]

I was very happy to pick up my first Cobb.

Troy

Great rookie Cobb Troy! High grade for the issue to. I think the value in those will continue to rise in the near future.

[orly57]

Troy, that is in great shape man. Excellent choice.

[wondo]

Beautiful! Congrats Wondo.


Thanks, Orlando!!!

[Vintagecatcher]

Thanks Jason.

The wait for a presentable Ade Thoss took a few years.

Click on the link in my initial post to see all of the subset.

Your patience paid off. It is one of the nicest examples I have ever seen. Mine is a PSA 5, and yours is far nicer than the .5 would indicate.

[wolfdogg]

Good looking card for a "2" IMO

Here are the "catcher wearing chest protectors" in the T210 Old Mill set.

Now I need to start another T210 project. Perhaps one cool catcher from each of the 8 series.

Mis-labeled as 1937. Upon closer inspection, it's actually the tougher brown tinted 1938.

Just got this beautiful rare Ruth Ross Verlag Postcard via trade with a board member! Excited to add this one to the collection!

[scotty21690]

Been after this Muddy Ruel for a while now for my Red Sox catcher PC....love the image! Didn't want to have to settle for an E120, I much prefer the E121 so I was glad when this one finally showed up on ebay. Thanks Rhett!

Jason,

Ironically I purchased the Dudley T210 from you!

Patrick

[orly57]

Erick, that is Sweet! Never seen it.

[yanksfan09]

Erick, that is Sweet! Never seen it.

Thanks man! Yea it's quite rare. This is the only SGC slabbed copy and PSA shows 2 total (authentic and grade 1), I've never seen one in a PSA holder so possibly could be same card resubmitted, but no idea.

It really is gorgeous in person. Ross Verlag made lots of high quality real photo postcards of actors and actresses of the day. This comes from the movie "Speedy", released in 1928 and features actor Harry Lloyd.

The same image is used on the much smaller Josetti card, but the clarity on this postcard is amazing!

[Vintagecatcher]

Received these 2 items in the mail today.

Picked up a nice T207 Paddy Livingston (A on shirt) from PWCC at a great price.

Wanted this card because the "A" is much lighter than the other one I picked up last year. This one has a Recruit Factory 606 Dist MD back, whereas the original one had a nice Napoleon back. Now have 3 different backs with my 4 Paddy Livngston T207s.

Also picked up another RPPC of a catcher in full gear which reminds me of a T209-2 card.

Patrick

[yanksfan09]

Great image on that postcard Patrick!

[Jobu]

+1 -- I dig the fielding pose with the ball on the ground between his legs.

Nice PC Erick!

Great image on that postcard Patrick!

[greenmonster66]

Thanks to a few fellow members here, was able to pick up these nice T205s for my Sox Collection!

[Leon]

another T205...

[Jobu]

I posted this in a My First Ruth thread, but wanted to post it here as this premium held one of the top spots on my want list and I am still excited about it.

[mybuddyinc]

Very happy to add these to my set................... :)

They all are quite tough commons to find with non-Pied./SC backs ........ ;)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

[Tom S.]

I just picked up this nice little SC 350-460 Overprint double factory back...

Great Hornsby! One of my favorites, tough card and really hard to find with decent centering.

[Andrew1975]

Thanks! I've wanted to add a Hornsby to my collection for a while, and I like this image. The centering is really what caught my eye...

[Tennis13]

But I sold some stocks because I thought the stock market was overvalued and figured if I had to ride the train down on something, i wanted it to be on something I wanted to buy before I died rather than on some index-linked ETF.

The yellow Ruth is the last expensive card I need in the set my dad got me interested in during the early 1990s.

Special thanks to this board. I would have never seen this auction without someone flagging it.

Congrats! That crease looks much more pronounced in your photo than in the auction scan, but it's a killer card! Very nice indeed! And Andrew, very nice Hornsby. If I had to pick a Hornsby to own, it would be the one you have or his wildly over-priced 1917 E135 Collins McCarthy.

[greenmonster66]

Congrats Scott! Card is a real beauty!

[orly57]

Congrats Scott!!! That is a special card that will always be among the elite cards in our hobby. You can't lay in bed at night and hold and stare at your stocks. Enjoy it.

Ha. When I tell my wife, this may be the only thing in bed to lay with. But seriously, I regretted not buying one a few years back, and I just felt like I was always going to make room to buy this card, so the sooner the better, I suppose. I wasn't that turned off by the rip on the back -- I never look at the back, you know? I mean, if I had $100k, I might think differently....but not at the moment.

Nice pickup on the Hornsby. National Caramel cards are almost never found with that type of centering/even cut. Here is what you normally find with E220 cards (I'm not joking).

Would love to pick up an E135 Hornsby someday, but yeah, big $$$! There is a nice PSA 3 in the current REA auction (already sitting at $6,500).

Thanks for the comment on the Hornsby. They are definitely tough, been looking for a decent Pennock for (literally) years...

[smellthegum]

I know they're just commons but these are the first pre-war/non-Topps cards I've picked up in a long time. Have been preoccupied with postwar set building.

I enjoy adding clean commons as much as big name players from any set and at a lot less money. Same history and many times a lot more interesting. (and you gotta love the nicknames!)

Those are very nice '41 PB's. I really like the vibrant colors of that set.

Been looking for one of these for my Chase/Highlander type set.

[Jason]

Im always looking for Series 2 SGC 60+ upgrades so im very happy with this one. And a Colt to boot. Thank you David.

[T206Collector]

Love that Lajoie! I assume you were referring to the 1933 set (and not 1934, which some people attribute it to). Either way -- amazing card, with great clarity!!!

[Rich Falvo]

Was happy to pick up SC 350/25 versions of these. These were harder to find than I expected compared to the 350/30s.

1933. I do have some 1934 and I kind of like the 1934s a bit better, but my dad chose 1933 so 1933 it is.

[Beansballcardblog]

I know it's not baseball, but putting this set together is paramount in my collecting focus. I was able to double the number of cards I had with one mail day. I don't really have anyone to share with, so y'all are the victims.

The cards are from the T36 (1911 ATC Auto Drivers). My blog post (http://ifeellikeacollectoragain.blogspot.com/2017/04/doubling-up.html).

... here's a side-by-side way to distinguish between the American Type 4 (on the right) versus the Canadian Type 5 : the ''creamy" Type 4 has a more pronounced darker overall tone while the Type 5 appears lighter-toned and almost 'washed out' in appearance ; also the top of the capital "D" visible on their uniforms is thinner on the Type 5 and the font size for the "Charles" is more delicate, especially the first two letters.....
...me and possibly as many as two other guys actually care about stuff like this...

[jbl79]

Picked up some Goudey hall of famers. Always love the artwork on these cards.

[rainier2004]

I am a pretty happy camper at the moment...

A speck of paper loss on the back of the t206 and Betz, but otherwise 4 clean cards I am pretty stoked on.

...the raw Bates is much better ; I'll have it graded at the next Philly show ; I'll have to hand-carry and babysit the card to make sure the grader is aware of the correct year and type.....The reason for the grade "2" is a short border tear which I missed during my initial pre-submission examination eleven years ago ; Of the eight '37 Type 5's in that submission , only one came back with the correct flip....

Lol Pete! You're right, I was all set, but am consigning the PSA 4 I have, to leave me still with the 3. This will be for my top banana. Tough to keep them all as they're not too cheap!!

Picked this up at the Tri-Star show today.

[Bpm0014]

My first T206 scrap.

[frohme]

At this point, its only upgrades, filling in holes, etc,... in T207. Lowdy completes T207 for me - second go 'round. Average grade just a hair shy of Ex/SGC 60/PSA 5.

While most of these are from April, I have not picked up anything in a long while ... it'll be a long while recovering, too.

[Jobu]

Those are great Mike - congrats!
