I should be receiving this one soon from REA.

Hey Jon, Did you win the '08 Pirate Vignette lot from the latest Hunt Auction?
(Nice pick ups BTW)

Thanks. No I was an underbidder on it. Would have liked those but with my pickups recently I had to hold back

I thought I had put in a good bid on them. Only really wanted the Gibson. Had to tap out early too.

Been wanting one of these for a while.

[OsFan]

Really nice Gehrig!

[Aaron Seefeldt]

I had posted these in REA thread but since I rec'd them yesterday, posting here too. I hope you don't mind. Last time I owned an e121 Ruth, I had 2 in nice condition. Sold them both for $500. And now, 25 years later - gulp!

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

A few Obaks. All but one of these previously resided in SGC 2,3, or 4 holders. They now look stellar in my binder. Love these things! I got distracted for a while, but I am back at the Obaks and am up to fifty something.

[yanksfan09]

Great stuff Aaron! Love the E121!

This came today, lightning fast shipping from REA. Pretty excited about this one. Has anyone ever seen another? C. 1925-1926 RPPC. REA states it has never seen another and believes the man behind the automobile wheel to be Brother Matthias. From pictures I've seen it certainly is! Check out photo bellow I found, must have been taken same day and time of Ruth and Brother Matthias next to the automobile. The other player is Fred Merkle (smoking cigar) who was only with the Yankees those 2 years.

REA didn't name anyone else in the picture. Can anyone else confirm or have guesses as to other people in the image? Is the woman Helen Woodford Ruth? I believe it is but would like a bit more confirmation. I feel like the guy next to woman with open suit top and striped tie looks familiar but maybe not (possibly a player?)... Can anyone name the other priests, or confirm that this is likely in front of St. Marys Industrial School?

Also does anyone know of Brother Matthias being on any other card or postcard?

I've wanted a vintage photo or any type of collectible of Brother Matthias now for some time and think I may have just found one of, if not the top one!

The image quality is spectacular!

Other known pictures of Helen at bottom

Great haul, Aaron, the E125 Collins is one terrific card. Likewise, the Matty, who looks like he recently converted to the Jewish faith.

[BeanTown]

Great pickups for everyone and looks like November might be the start of the Christmas season. Here are some early pickups. Special thanks to a board member who was willing to part with this special Otsego RPPC after having it for 37 years.

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up a pristine Chief Meyers BF2 from Clean Sweep Auctions.

Patrick

[Vintagecatcher]

Went to the Shriner's show yesterday. Traded off some duplicates and picked up another T204 catcher. The card was misidentified by PSA as Jiggs (John) Donahue. The card is actually Patrick Donahue, who was John's brother, and he played for the Red Sox.

Patrick

I bought a T204 Donahue in an SGC holder a few years ago, and the label also identified the player, incorrectly, as Jiggs. I notified SGC, and provided some corroboration to support my claim, and they reslabbed the card for free with a corrected label. Nice card, by the way... One of my favorite sets.

[Rhotchkiss]

Thanks to a fellow board member for this one

and a W514 Gandil Barker Bread....

[Rich Falvo]

Great stuff, everyone!

On the lower end, I was happy to fill a few small holes in my set. These proved a little more elusive than I expected. Blackburne SC 350/25 and Hoffman Sovereign.

I didn't win any of my pre-war REA bids but I did land this beauty.

[GregMitch34]

Only one graded, and one of coolest names....and first baseball pin set, I believe...He once gave up 4 home runs in game to Ed Delehanty--but pitched CG and won 9-8....Olbermann loves this set....

any comments on Cameo Pepsins?

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/2042957/view/1600STRATTON_NEW.JPG

..these two probably represent most of Monty Stratton's "cards" ; I may have the complete Monty Stratton Master Set without even knowing it because I also have his 1933-1935 Worch Cigar on Page 1 or 2 of the "Worch Cigar Project" thread a few lines down ..
The 1937 Team Issue Picture Pack has some staple holes and a scrapbook backside ; the Burke 4 x 6 is almost flawless --I'll post a scan of the reverse of that one in my next entry ; the Burke guys need all that stuff from back there
..

[MikeGarcia]

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/2042957/view/1700GOLDMEDALSIMMONS_NEW.JPG

..a 1934 Gold Medal Al Simmons ( finally , after 11 years of searches ) ,a 1939 Canadian V351 ( like USA R303A ) Flea Clifton (an upgrade ; the one I have is off-centered ) , an AZO postcard RPPC of a well-equipped catcher , looks turn of the century , and then the reverse of the Burke 4 X 6 Monty Stratton....can anyone familiar with equipment hone in on which years that older-feller catcher might be from ? The back is clean and unused , no ID at all , and I can't find a Studio logo anywhere on the front .

Beautiful copy of a very scarce pose. I find the card’s background very interesting. 1887 Boston players (and all other NL teams except New York) were photographed by Gray Studios. The backgrounds that Gray used we’re pretty consistent. However, off the top of my head I don’t remember another card with this background. Also, number “0440” was a relatively late addition to the “0” number series. Something unusual took place with this pose; I need to spend some time thinking about what was going on. Anyway, congratulations—great pickup.

16 HR and 81 SO as a rookie in 1889. He was the Aaron Judge of the American Association.

Card in hand, now I can finally post this. I badly needed this back for my Evers back run, and its one hell of a tough card. Bryan thank you! Bryan (Jobu) and I met up in DC last night to make the swap, and it was great to meet, in person, a guy I have emailed and texted with for over a year but never actually spoken to. Maybe i will meet more Net54 peeps at Philly or Chantilly.

As an aside, with this T213-1 in hand -- first I have ever owned, I dont see how this is not a T206!

Yea, I never held one and I understand they are much thinner. But by looks alone, t213-1 looks like a t206 all the away around

Nice pickup, Ryan. What's needed for your yellow sky back run now?

Hey Tony. I don't have much left, "only" the Drum, BL 460, and a Sov 350; you know, the easy ones. And I wouldn't mind a t213-3 and a -3 overprint, bc those are common....! My gut is aside from the Sov 350, my back run will remain with a few holes and I doubt I will ever fill all of them.

Also has the only card that I know of for Bill Wright who is certainly near HOF caliber and someday could be enshrined... and some other stars like Ramon Bragana...

super cool pickup

[obcmac]

Love these...

[bbcard1]

albeit, it's not prewar, but pretty happy with this pick up. There is a very light spider wrinkle which shows when you tilt the card, so the technical grade is probably accurate, but it's a blazer for a 2. Since I paid only about what an average 2 would go for, I was pretty happy.

[edjs]

Love these...

Those are sweet. Are the from PWCC? I missed the end of that auction because I was out with my family. They are really nice.

Terrific Babe in a tough set indeed, Leon!
That card was my first Ruth card , which prompted me to collect the York Caramels...of course it was Type 2 , and Type 1 is easier to find. I had to get a Type 1 Ruth too!;)

I ended up with the full Type 1’s and i’m within six cards of the Type 2’s where I have stalled out.
I still pick up duplicate Yorks here and there because they are cool, and I tend to stick with sets I like.

If I unbury my scanner before the month is out, I will share a couple faves that arrived In November.

I really enjoy these eye candy threads!

That photo is indeed a beauty, Jeff. I see that you named the jpeg "1912-1915 Senators" which is as good as I could narrow it down also, the reason being that the only face I recognized straight away besides WaJo was evil-eyed Chick Gandil in the back right who played for Washington in those years.

His only non-Pied./SC back. Been on hunt for it for over a year ;)

PSA pop. at 14. Where as StL PB well over 100. Maybe comparing apples to oranges, just find it interesting :o

Now down to "just" :p 7 mid-tier backs needed to finish off.

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

I won this from Goldin Auctions. Now, I need to decide whether to break out it out of this safe - why encapsulate something with paper added, pinholes, etc.? I don't mind the technical grade as the image is nice.

Break it out.

Which ones are you missing?

1938 Seals team. Jigger Statz Zeenut.

A small pick-up. I may have slightly overpaid, but a nice example of a card that I always seemed to like:

Pretty busy month. Sold my W600 Eddie Collins and went on a spending spree, including but not limited to...

I think you got that W600 Collins from me a while back at a fraction of what you sold it for! Congrats! Looks like you’ve been using those funds wisely. Happy for you. Sad for me.

glenn...whats on the front of that "send me a tear I can't repair" back????

Looks like a pretty standard 1923 W572 strip card of John Morrison with that cool advertising on back.

Very nice Scott!!
That will soon be a 520 set that's above all the rest. Monte Cross will probably be the last one. I think I'm at 22 left. 3 of your 7 I have are Conroy Old Mill & Sovereign 150, Pattee Sovereign 150, and Turner EPDG.

Keep up the search!!!

That's the one. It was in the Goodwin auction that stayed open until about 6:00 A.M. I would have missed it, but one of my kids woke me up at about 5:30. When I had a chance to check on the auction a little while later I was surprised to see it was still running, and I put in a bid on the Collins, my first bid since an opening day placeholder I think. Somehow that was enough. I always thought it was worth about twice what I paid, but I just found somebody who thought it was worth four times what I paid, and that was just too much for me to turn down, though it was certainly one of my favorite cards. I haven't seen another one up for auction/sale in the three and a half years since Goodwin, but I know there are at least four of them out there, and I imagine I'll go after the next one that hits the auction block.

Yes, it's a W572 Morrison in his very sinister man without a face pose. I'll be starting a thread in the next couple of weeks covering my 2017 updates for rare back/type card collectors, and that will include the Garrety Dry Cleaners back, as well as Kings Theatre and a recap of my earlier post on Howard P Boyer Candy.

Knocked this subset out in one swoop (REA). Most expensive Hooker I ever paid for.

[Bicem]

Love that Seals team photo!

Nice cards and great looking Hooker Aaron!

God I love the Novelty Cutlery Cobb. It is just such a bad ass card. Congrats Jeff. Known population of 10 (sgc and psa combined).

[Bicem]

Very nice Jeff!

Clearly one of the best-looking cards there is, but what's going on with the forward-most section of his jersey? I never noticed it before, but does it look like somebody was a little careless with the photo editing, or am I just imagining that?

Went on a small Banks binge. Also added the 70 Topps booklet of him to go along with these.

BTW, I traded with a member here to downsize my '58 AS if you will. I had one but needed a '71T Banks for my set. So I traded the '58 for a '71 and a '58 in lesser condition.

Anyway, here's the Banks pickups...
