January 2018 Pickups

[Vintagecatcher]

Happy New Year at all!

Just grabbed this Jimmy Archer P2 Pin (Small Letters) off of eBay.

Patrick

[shernan30]

I have not posted a pickup in a long time. Here is the start of my 2018!! An N172 Ralph Spud Johnson to complete my single pose Columbus set. I will post the whole thing in the coming days. Thanks to all the OJ collectors that have helped along the way and to the many phone calls and emails letting me know it was up for auction. As well as the seller that worked with me to make this happen.

[Rhotchkiss]

Great cards Pete.

I decided that in 2018, I would branch out some from T206, but stay with items older than the great depression. So, my first 2018 pick ups are this E90-1 Speaker and this E101 Cy Young

[Huysmans]

Great cards guys!

Patrick - I love the P2 pin
Pete - That Boston Garter may be all you can afford, but it's an absolutely great card! Congrats!

[pete zouras]

Very nice recent pickup from ebay.

Glad to see you knock that one off the list! Congrats on completeing your Columbus subset.

[rainier2004]

Been awhile since I got t post in this thread...feels good.

I got my first card today of 2018 and the second time I have owned this exact example which was difficult to replace. I HAD to trade it for something else and it found its way back to me and showed up today. 1907 FP Burke Detroit PC, one of Cobb's earlier images and I love the emblem in the background. It comes in both black and blue and I far prefer the tough black variation. Also, its unused with just a simple corner crease as it returns in to my top 10 favorite cards.

I’m biased as a Tigers and Cobb fan, but that card is beyond awesome. I’m glad it found its way home!

[mybuddyinc]

A BIG THANK YOU to Adam G. for making this card available to me ..... :):):):)

It's one that has eluded me for a looooooong time !!! Happy to finally get it :D:D

I miss that E101 Young. It was in my collection over 10 years ago and I kick myself for parting with it back then. I'm glad someone ended up with it that appreciates it. Believe it or not, that was the very first vintage card I ever owned.

For some reason I can't see the card on your post, but very cool. Always fun when you see an old card turn up (usually on eBay, but not this one, it's staying with me)

Awesome card. Very nice centering.

[rainier2004]

nice 205 Cobby, very nice actually. Always great to get a Cobb, king of deadball hands down.

[orly57]

That York Ruth is gorgeous. Extremely well centered. Congrats. Good looking Cobb as well.

[jb217676]

Some nice snapshots from 1933 of Lefty Gomez, Joe McCarthy and Red Ruffing.

I don't blame you. But, if you do change your mind down the road, let me know! :)

[Bicem]

1907 cabinet photo of the Detroit Tigers, image used for a number of postcards. Love how you can see the details of Cobb's spikes!

Thanks Kevin!

[orly57]

Wow Jeff. That's awesome. I've never seen that before. Congrats.

[rainier2004]

Great piece Jeff, truly historic and a keeper. Good to see you stray from PCs...

[h2oya311]

Nice one Jeff!

Al’s clearly paying you too much!!

[Bicem]

Ha, now that's funny!

Thanks guys!

My big purchase to celebrate the new year:

301807

[Rhotchkiss]

Beautiful Chance. Congrats.

[CobbSpikedMe]

Nice centering on that Chance. Very nice pickup.

[paul]

A very happy (and slightly delayed) New Year to me! If I don't acquire another card all year, this will still be my best year ever. Many thanks to two great Board members for two great trades.

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up a Bill Bergen Sweet Caporal P2 pin today.

Patrick

[yanksfan09]

Love that Grover H.O.D.P.C. ! Really nice pickups, congrats!

Sweet cards, dude. Congrats.

[Stonepony]

Yes, nice cards

[pete zouras]

Nice gypsy queen paul

[Jason Carota]

Great looking Joe Jackson, Paul. Congrats!

[Brian Van Horn]

OT:

[kdixon]

Picked up this Sweet Caporal overprint. It was the last card I needed to complete my Wheat back run.

[Rhotchkiss]

Nice Kenny. Congrats. Would love to see the whole back run. How about posting it?

Paul, awesome Joe Jax.

[kdixon]

Thanks I would like to see it too. May need to find someone to help me create one . I just have the individual cards now . May try and upgrade a few . I also have the t213 Wheat run but it's only 4 cards . Here are some of them.

[Jason]

Upgrades to my Series 3 OB set are always much appreciated! Thank you David.

Love those Ben! Congrats!

[Rhotchkiss]

Awesome Wheat run -- lots of solid backs in that sucker. And Great looking Cobb Ben, was that the one that was on ebay (I had been watching that).

I just picked up the Jackson today -- thank you Ken! - and the Wagner a few days ago.

[rainier2004]

Very nice Ben...too bad they're just postcards :D!

Welcome to the addiction, I mean club...

I traded this away and just got it back today. Far from rare, but I still dig it.

[brass_rat]

So many great pickups for everybody already!

I had an awesome experience with a board member on this one. (Thanks, Ron!)...and I just got it back from PSA today.

[Rhotchkiss]

Awesome Steve! Congrats. Been watching that on eBay for a while and glad someone put it in a slab and put it in their collection. Great card.

As an aside, it's refreshing to see that PSA actually got one of these right....

Love those Cobb PCs. How cool is it to say “Cobb Rookie”?

[rainier2004]

It is...but none of those are his rookie...He has his w601 post card from 1906 which predates all those...

[Jay Wolt]

Steve love the Chief Pirate back

[Jobu]

Steve - I have always thought the Meyers is a great card, congrats!

Ryan - Holy. Crap.

I love all of the Cobbs.

Kenny - The Wheat run is great. I admit to chuckling that the last domino to fall was a Sweet Cap :D

[brass_rat]

Thanks, guys!

If anybody happens to remember where this card came from, I'd love to see a copy of the original auction catalog. The previous owner had it for over 15 years but couldn't find the invoice that confirmed where he bought it.

Cheers,
Steve

[CobbSpikedMe]

Very happy to add the Chase to my e93 set.


Thanks,

Steve- the Pirate miscut is sick!

Thanks to Luke...

[T206Jim]

Trimmed version of Jeff's 1907 Tigers cabinet, but the clarity and warm sepia tones make this a true beauty!

302259

[CooperstownExpert]

Picked up this letter signed by former NL President John Heydler. In it he talks about the NL proposing the DH.

“At one of our final League meetings held at the old Waldorf — it must’ve been 8 to 10 years ago — the League passed unanimously a recommendation to the Rules Committee, allowing a pinch hitter for the pitcher.”

The story behind the NL's ill-fated proposal can be found by clicking here (http://www.cooperstownexpert.com/2018/01/nl-owners-supported-designated-hitter-1928/).

The CooperstownExpert.com site has autographs of all but three HoFers who debuted in the Major Leagues since 1900. Hope you enjoy it.

Whoa, Chris! Very nice pickup on the Deacon White! :)

Ryan, nice start to 2018, love that Shoeless Joe

[MartyFromCANADA]

Not really a new pick up, but got this back from the framers today.


302529

[Tyler]

I love it Marty.
I am currently in the same mindset regarding displaying items. Looks great.
I'll try to post some pics in this thread before the end of January.
Also, that Chief Meyers Pirate mis-cut??!!?? Wow!

Turner, that Cobb belongs in your collection...nice!

[cdn_collector]

Yeah, I agree with Tyler. That looks great, Marty.

I particularly like that the notebook cover and M101-2 share the same image, except that they removed Bugs Raymond and kept the rest of the picture in tact.

Cheers,

Richard.

[Brian Van Horn]

OT. The next Pirate victory parade. Surprised that Nutting paid for the uniform. Tobacco and pipe were extra:

[h2oya311]

Some rookies - sorry the scans are so big!

Awesome, incredibly tough Rookies there Chris! Congrats on the pick-ups!

[the-illini]

Thanks Kevin and Derek!!

[Joe_G.]

Amazing Deacon White Chris, congrats!!

A couple recent pick-ups you don't see every day, a Lone Jack Foutz and Helen Dauvray Ward OJ.

Thanks Luke for helping me knock off this very difficult EPDG back! Now, if only I could find a portrait with cap AB 460. Portrait with cap and Glove at Hip Uzits are both 1/1s so may never get those, but this gets me to 41/45 backs for the T206 McGraw back run. Its been quite a journey.

[darwinbulldog]

Come see my Heinie Groh (and more!)

[Rhotchkiss]

Congrats Eric. I know that feeling -- its great, but then only galvanizes the ones you still need!

And Luke is a major asset. He has helped me and so many others. Great stuff!

[Kawika]

Those are some cool postcards, Glen.
That's Red Sox mainstay Hal Janvrin in the front row of the Camp Devens card. SABR bio confirms it: http://sabr.org/bioproj/person/80f3a62e BBRef shows a minor league team for Streator for the years 1912-1915 but a little googling yielded the info that the Reds were a popular town ball squad dating back to the 1890s and before. I cobbled together some excerpts from a city history, chronology a bit unclear, that gives a glimpse of their story. That's a fine looking postcard, a classical assemblage of ballplayers.

[rainier2004]

Awesome Eric...ever going to expand the McGraw search?

e107? '94 Betz?

[iowadoc77]

Awesome Eric...ever going to expand the McGraw search?

e107? '94 Betz?

Hey thanks! Much appreciated Steven! I am certainly open to other options. Have a nice T3 and a Felix Mendelsohn and a couple of postcards. Those would be rather tough issues that you mentioned! I need to start a thread with the run so far. Just takes a lot of time to get all the pics loaded.

[h2oya311]

Awesome Eric...ever going to expand the McGraw search?

e107? '94 Betz?

There will be a '94 Betz at the next LOTG Auction :D

Edited to add: sorry, I consigned this one to REA, not LOTG! Couldn’t keep them straight with my consignments.

[rainier2004]

There will be a '94 Betz at the next LOTG Auction :D

How do you know this? Where is the preview?

[Bicem]

Derek knows everything.

Freakin auction season! Can’t be that time again already? :eek:

[h2oya311]

Oops, I meant REA, not LOTG. I kinda have the inside track on stuff like this...or rather, I know this because it’s my consignment! LOL! :D

Both should be excellent auctions happening shortly after I get my tax refund and meager bonus! Can’t wait!

[oldjudge]

Chris-Great pickup on that Deacon White Old Judge. If we were to redo the Old Judge book I’m pretty sure that we would list White as the toughest HOFer to find a card of.

[Brian Van Horn]

The difficulty in finding the card, the price and the fact he was on the 1925 and 1927 Pittsburgh Pirates offset the bullseye in the card:

The quality of people here on Net54 never ceases to amaze me. Just when you think you couldn't possibly have any more amazing dealings with folks, you do.

Two really enjoyable deals with two sage collectors here this past month. It's been a real pleasure getting to know them and chatting with them recently.
You couldn't hope for better people or cards. Here's to Net54. :D

Except for it being a little OC it's a great card!!


Just kidding. We are of the same mold somewhat, with respect to centering. Nice pick up. You probably feel about the same way as I did recently, picking up an almost perfectly centered '39 Ted Williams (already shown too many times).

.

[DeanH3]

Thanks Leon! Your Williams is a monster for sure.

[orly57]

Beautiful cards Dean and Jason.

Piedmont 150 Magee Portrait, Correct Spelling is a toughie — and this is a beautiful example. Well done!

[Gobucsmagic74]

Been looking for a nice copy for a while now. Always a plus when you can buy a card on sale off of a dealer website rather than on ebay.

[Jason]

Nice cards everyone as always!

Its been 4 years but I recently added my third of the four Cobb T206 poses. Think ill wait for all the fuss to be over before I finish it off with the Green. If that ever happens.

[Gobucsmagic74]

Nice Jason...congrats! Making some progress on the N162 ballplayers subset :)

At first, just thought it was washed out, but have to say probably missing a "red" color pass, maybe some other pass also ????

Not a new pick up, just newly slabbed. i don't usually like oversized items slabbed but pretty happy with how this looks.

[yanksfan09]

Nice Gehrig! Love the odd tinted exhibits!

[rainier2004]

So I searched out to upgrade this card and a very gracious and well versed member responded and it was sitting in the mail today. My trading partner informed me how crystal clear the image was nd now that its in hand...I didn't think these old CdVs could be this clear. I love the card, great trade a great transaction. I also have always dug the ad back and its even cooler n hand.

Picked up this sharp T202 on eBay recently and it arrived today.
Now have 8 of the 10 Chief Meyers T202s.
