June pickups.

Brian, a post with a comment? Why, how wordy of you. If knew staying up until 3:00 am got me a card, I would do it more often. Nice.

Congrats. I can't stay up until 3 but didn't have to.....

Actually I had two reasons for staying up until 3:00 a.m. One was celebrating a Penguins win in the Stanley Cup Finals without catfish. The other one may be posted later. Working out details.

[Luke]

Cool cards guys.

Is that actually Merkle, or did they picture Schaefer by accident?

[Leon]

It is Schaefer listed as Merkle.....

The price guides list it as "Merkle. J=K. LOL."

[garymc]

I too got this last night. I've been waiting a long time for one that I could afford.

[Jobu]

I think we should refer to this card as J=K's Boner.

For those that don't get my reference (because the best jokes have to be explained, right?):

Picked this up on Clean Sweep last night. Only two examples of this card have been graded. The other one was posted recently by Jeff in another string.

May be the best portrait of Cobb ever.

[pencil1974]

I posted the cabinet since I got it at the end of May. But the Harpers came today and was happy to see it was the full sheet and not just the cut out of the team.

[mybuddyinc]

Picked up a few nice additions to my back set, but this one has to be presented separately.

It may not be to pretty, but Hunter with a non-SC/Pied. back is very, very tough, indeed...................... ;)
It is probably one of the toughest cards that I own or will own, imo .................... :o

I actually thought this might have been a card that I would never get ........................ :):)

Great, Scott :rolleyes:

Hey Brad - love that Cabinet!! If you ever want to part with it...you now know where to find me!


Oh - and Orlando, nice addition to your Cobb postcard collection. It must be the nicest collection of Cobb PCs in existence!!

[Brian Van Horn]

It is Schaefer listed as Merkle.....

Interesting. Schaefer only played for one New York team and that was in 1916 for the Yankees. Nice uniform overlap.

[orly57]

Thanks Derek. I appreciate the kind words, but Jeff Lichtmann (Calvindog) and Jim Clarke (Beantown) share that distinction. I am trying though!

[yanksfan09]

Amazing Cobb Orlando! Congrats and enjoy it!

Here's a recent Cracker Jack upgrade, yep it's an upgrade! I'm trying too! ;)

[Vintagecatcher]

Erick,

Nice looking Cady Cracker Jack!

Dave, that is gorgeous. Fantastic card!

Erick, that doesn't look like a 1.5. Presents beautifully.

[Stonepony]

Thank you guys

[rhettyeakley]

Pretty excited to have the opportunity to pick up one of the cards on the "bucket list", Don't think I have seen another example in over a decade or so, so despite the lower grade I'll take what I can get. :)

1918 Zeenut Lefty O'Doul (notice he was a pitcher then).

[BeanTown]

All great pickups guys and how can you go wrong with Cobb or Anson. Orlando, you are a machine and born again hard! Just a year ago how many postcards did you own? Love the DFP image.

I just got this little grouping in from a long time board member and many thanks go out to him. The baseball/boxer cards are amongst the rarest cards from the 20s, along with the plain background Exhibits.

[BeanTown]

lucky to snag this little run of Sporting Life papers. I've always thought papers have been under valued, but that seems to be changing. Midweek Pictorials and Police Gazettes are also nice papers from close to the same time period.

Orlando- your cobby is off the charts. I agree, one of his best mug shots.

JC - you are a machine...

The rest of you guys- You are killing me :) Love the cards so far on Day 2 of the m month!! Keep 'em coming...

Great looking card— those are so hard to find centered like that.

[pete zouras]

Thank Kevin!

[BeanTown]

This pin popped up on eBay so I snagged it. I think it's the 1909 (not 1910) Morton Buster Brown pin. Agree with Kevin that's it's one of his best images.

[edjs]

Orly, love that Cobb postcard.

Rhett, how do you find all the diamonds in the rough? That is a great pick up!

[orly57]

Thanks guys. The one Jc just posted is actually my card when it sat in an sgc holder.

This one just arrived today. Pictured next to a recent Mantle pickup for perspective in case anyone doesn't know how big these cards are.

Jesse-
Great Cobb! Love that pose! Congrats

[Vintagecatcher]

Nice Cobb!

Patrick

[pokerplyr80]

Thanks guys, and thanks to Patrick for fixing the picture. I showed the card to my father in law who doesn't know much about cards and he asked me if it's over 100 years old why is his uniform so clean? I wasn't quite sure how to respond.

[sterlingfox]

Small local show yesterday led to some interesting pickups. Will try to add scans later.

Never thought I'd be able to add an unopened, properly dated Old Mill slide pack, to my collection. Many thanks to a long-time pack collector (and member of this board), who contacted me after uncovering what is perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime "find" of several of these packs, along with at least a portion of the carton they came in! If you're wondering about the "overstamp," it is factory info only. Now, if only I could find a reliable TPG to certify and slab this baby:

Congrats on the nice pickup! Would be awesome to see the pack opened at The National this year.

Over the years, some have suggested that an xray or MRI might reveal the contents of these packs--I'm not really sure about that. There is, of course, another method to "find out if a card is in there," but that of course is NOT going to happen. Thank you all for the positive comments, both here and via pm's.

Beautiful pack. Save your money on the x-ray; it doesn't work!

Thanks Dan. Now I'm looking at 1955 Topps Robinsons. Would love a 52 obviously. I can feel the sickness rising. :D

Thought about doing a Jackie Robinson master set but a) probably can't afford it and b) I don't know what the hell a master set is. :) Thought about trading some Jackie Robinson photos for cards, but figured that takes a unique collector crossover.

[KingFisk]

Patiently waited and got my Pete Alexander. Though it's a Tom Barker version rather than a National Game, but no matter. I like the Barker backs better so it was a win to grab this. Edit to say I can't believe he was only 26 in this picture. He looks like he is 50.

[lampertb]

Seems like a minor card....

But it is the last one I needed to complete the entire N28 and N29 sets, 100 cards, with both albums too. I'm finished with A&G... both sets accomplished.

[Leon]

Congrats, nice accomplishment when putting them together card by card.

....just picked up the faded and worn 1933 Worch ; call me suspicious but the photos used for the cards look a little bit similar ; He's pictured wearing an athletics uniform but in 1934 he was playing with the Chicago White Sox ; I guess the Wheaties ( Gold Medal Foods ) guys didn't want to spend any extra money for a current photo since it was the depths of The Depression.After one year with the White Sox he pitched for the 1935 Brooklyn Dodgers and then in 1936 wound up his last year with the St. Louis Cardinals ( His manager then was Frankie Frisch , age 38 ; Moose was 36.) "Moose"... I like that.

A big thanks to board member Mike Garcia (of a few posts above this one) for going out of his way to alert me of a closing auction of a this card he knew I needed to finish my set. I haven't bought a card in over a year. I have been looking for this one for three years. Super glad to get this one at the price I did because of the kindness of a fellow board member. Thanks again, Mike. Also glad for the opportunity to try out my new scanner.

I finally got an Old Mill back for my collection. Liked the odd coloring on the T59 I am guessing what ever stained the top of the card has something to do with the blue and green back. And just thought I would get a cheap Sanella.

Per request, my N28 and N29 collection is up in a separate thread.

[Ronnie73]

I usually don't share new purchases since they are usually T206's and everyone knows what T206's look like. This one though is a bit different with the pink 8 or B printmark. Even though a known T206 printmark variation to most T206 collectors, I figured maybe a few viewers may not of seen one or knew of it. Enjoy. P.S. If T206's don't ruffle your feathers enough, this was a PWCC auction win. Sorry guys but it was a needed card and variation.

[BBT206]

Not a card, but I thought it was a neat item. I was in Bisbee, AZ the past couple of days and I picked this item up. It is a door off a display case that was in the E.B. Wallace Pool Hall and Smoke Shop located at 26 Main St. in Bisbee. The only information that I could find about Wallace, is he came to Bisbee in 1906 at the age of 25 and died in 1965.

I picked this up recently from a very discerning (and turns out very patient) collector who told me he looked for 3+ years for just the right one. He schooled me on how hard it is to find these 51 Bowman without any back stains or print lines, have good registration and centering. Once I started really looking for one I quickly figured out how correct he was!

Been a while since I had any pre-war pick-ups. A couple of minor additions to the collection:

[Rhotchkiss]

One is a beauty, the other an absolute beast (beater), but tough to find an Evers Piedmont Fact 42 in any condition.

[Sean]

Great Cy, now about that Evers.....

I guess that it's lucky there was enough of the back left to see the factory number. :D

Luckily you can make out (barely) the "42" and you can see in upper left its clearly a 350-460. Otherwise, we would have to take SGC's word for it. Ugly card indeed

Beautiful Cy Young, Ryan.

[rsst206]

Nice Young
I think it was under graded.

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

That Evers Sovereign is a tough card. Nice going Scott. :)

[BoyWonder089]

So I've been out of the hobby for a year or so and am finally getting back in. All I can say is that this thread is unbelievably motivating. Absolutely amazing cards everyone!

1916 Chicago Cubs Postcard with the players wearing Chicago Whales uniforms

Does anyone know why the Cubs are wearing the Whales old uniforms?

[conor912]

Very excited to pick this up from a board member. Just need my Teddy Ballgame for completion.

When the Federal League disbanded after the 1915 season, Charles Weeghman, who had been the owner of the Whales, purchased the Cubs and merged the rosters of the two teams. Apparently, the Cubs wore Whale uniforms during spring training, and during the season their uniforms had a new logo that was essentially the 1915 Whales' logo with a bear in place of the whale.

Thanks, Sean, thrilled with it. PSA/SGC pops have it slightly rarer than the Hindu (don't know if that relates truly to reality).

It actually is a "never say never" purchase. I've seen it many times on ebay over the mounts. BUT, it was a Dean's card (who I think has slightly :p over priced cards), so I never clicked on it. No indication of back in title. The other day, for some reason I finally clicked ----- Sov.150 !!!! Almost fainted. Went to his web-site and got it for a very decent price ...... :):)

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Not a huge-ticket item, but I was happy to get my first EPDG for my Providence set. Looks nicer than the fuzzy scan shows.

VERY nice '41 PB Joe DiMaggio!! Congrats, and good luck obtaining a comparable Ted Williams to complete your set.

Finally got my winnings from Goldin:

This is interesting. I always thought that the Cubs purchased the ballpark (now called Wrigley Field) from the owner of the Whales. But it turns out that the owner of the Whales purchased the Cubs instead.

[Rhotchkiss]

Real pretty card Sean, but man did Goldin take its time with you

[Sean]

I paid by check, so that slowed things I guess.

[darwinbulldog]

Nice Mino Glenn.........Jerry

Thanks. Sold my only other Mino a couple of years ago. It's good to have that box marked on the type card checklist again.

[Joshchisox08]

I'm now at #409!!!

[Sean]

I'm glad you're still at it Josh. :)

[x2drich2000]

always have loved this Ruth

[orly57]

Neal, that is a beautiful and severely underrated Ruth. Lower grades of that card usually don't convey the beauty of the 32 Caramel set. This one maintained great color and registration. Congrats.

[Neal]

Thanks Orlando!

[CrackaJackKid]

Here's my Cady.

[Vintagecatcher]

My Walter Boles 1912 zeenut arrived today from the recent Brockelman Auction. Now I have a punched one and a standard one.

Thanks Scott!

Very nice, much better that a Pratt.

[itjclarke]

Happy to upgrade my Radbourn with this one. I presume the Goodwin Co. logo is trimmed off the bottom, thus why it received an "A"?

Question for the OJ folks however, was the bottom indeed likely cut off, or are there some variations where the bottom Goodwin text is just not included? There was a Galvin that sold the same night, which looked similar to this Radbourn. If the bottoms were cut off, was there perhaps some sort special offer related to sending them in? Just curious, and could not find explanations on line. 278516
