February 2018 Pickups

[Thromdog]

Surprised no one has started it.....

Picked up a second Lundgren Chicago with a 350 back.....new one in the left.

Also added a few more EPDGs.....thank you Scot and Ken! Sitting at 227 uniques and updated the collage.

Great Lundgren, Jeff. That Walsh has steller eye appeal, too.

[Leon]

Nice red Cobby, Tyler..
and a Fatima...

[iowadoc77]

Awesome Leon! I had a close eye on that one. Very cool.

[darwinbulldog]

Was wondering if someone would post about that Fatima premium. Hell of a pick-up there.

[the-illini]

Love that Fatima premium Leon - you seldom see them that nice.

I picked this one up from a board member - my second one of these in less than a month!

[darwinbulldog]

So far this, but the month is young.

[wdwfan]

Posted this in the thread in the watercooler talk section too.

A good number of decent pick ups here. The 4 Horseman was listed in Ex condition, but it is creased. So I might end up sending it back as I don't deal with any kind of creases. I usually toss anything that's creased in the trash, but this has a BV of $500. So don't really wanna just toss it. So will most likely end up sending it back. Anyway, here's the goods from today's mail day, which also included about 16 different 1959 Topps all-star cards.

[jb217676]

Just got this cool 1933 snapshot of Babe Ruth. This 2.75" x 4.5" snapshot was taken in Honolulu, Hawaii during a barnstorming tour in the Pacific with a group of major leaguers in the winter of 1933. One of the nicest Ruth snapshots I've ever seen! Big thanks to Jeff P. for the location and date of this fine photo!
Jeff

[h2oya311]

Very nice, Jeff! It’s nice to see you expand your horizons beyond “just” postcards. You’ve got a great eye!

[3-2-count]

Great snapshot Jeff. Here's a new rppc as well.

Just think, one of these kids may be holding the CJ Jax and have no idea what they've got. ;)

[jb217676]

Thanks guys! I think the vintage snapshot area of collecting is undervalued and under appreciated at this time. You put a stamp box on the back of some of these and they would go for big dollars! Yummmmm... Cracker Jacks!
Jeff

[rainier2004]

Beautiful, as always, Tony.

[Jason Carota]

Amazing snapshot, Jeff. Congrats!

Picked this up from an amazing board member. The pc796 is the pickup, but since I can only post in collage format, here it is next to its sister-card, my novelty cutlery.

Great haul Chuck, congrats

[yanksfan09]

Not new pick ups, but Just got these fresh back from SGC today! Pretty excited, grades are spot on what I thought they should be and all b/w cards look great with the black inserts imo!

The Ruth/Matthias/Merkle RPPC dates to 1925-26(years Merkle was Yankee) and is one of the new favorites of my collection. Likely 1925 when he appeared in 7 Yankees games vs. only 1 game in 1926.

Also very excited to add a new Headin Home Ruth to the collection, despite how hammered this one is! "Bijou theatre Dec 8" is written in pen on the back. (Under the pencil scribbles)

[yanksfan09]

Forgot about this guy coming back from PSA too

[nineunder71]

I love the Otey, and the Downs you picked up last month, congrats!!!!

[wdwfan]

Today was more about quantity than quality as I continue to try and build my vintage collection. As most know, I just started collecting vintage late in the fall of 2017 and have since sold off all of my modern stuff with the exception of my PCs, which will be going out the door (hopefully) soon.

As for today's mail day, I got the 71s in a deal with northview, some of the 62s in a trade over on SCF and some other 62s as well as the Kaline in a trade on here with shortmail.

I'm now up over 450 different 1971s, over 200 different 62s (with 60+ more on the way now) and about 50 cards shy of finishing my '74 set.

Thanks to everyone for the set/vintage collection help.

Just some unknown pitcher, the Speaker is amazing though...I love CFs!

He actually wasnt a bad pitcher; had a career 2:1 win loss ratio. Too bad his pitching career was short.... imagine what he could have done...

Thinking about doing an HOF E121 & related series master back run, and between this Haffner's Bread Speaker (thanks Brian), my D327 Holsum Bread Cobb and my E121 series of 80 Ruth (both pictured), seems I am off to a decent start -- anyone got one for sale or trade?

[ValKehl]

Ryan, you are certainly off to a good start in your quest. Although there are several back variations for the E121/80 cards, you already have one of the tough ones - your Ruth has a Type 1 back, which is the easiest back, except when, like yours, the back printing reads from bottom to top, instead of from top to bottom.

[Vintagecatcher]

Thanks to Lee at Sterling Sports Auctions for this Ames/Meyers T202.

Patrick

[ullmandds]

thx to brockelman auctions for this tough beauty! E90-1 Wags.

[joshuanip]

Bonus pickup to squeeze in, sorry not pre-war but a cool Ryan subset card.

[nsaddict]

That Ruth is still actively listed?

[joshuanip]

must be a different Ruth. ;)

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up this beauty in the recent Brockelman Auction. It's been a long time since I have added any T206 catchers.

[darwinbulldog]

One card closer to a Glazner master set. Always looking to add obscure ones if anybody has them.

[x2drich2000]

Picked this up last night. I was a bit intrigued as it seems to be missing a color pass (the sky usually has reddish colored clouds) and I don't recall ever seeing any other mello-mints missing color before.

Oh Chuck, I wish it was a Plank!! I was trying and have made a few contacts which may pay off down the road, but no Plank this month. And, i just picked this up from Don (although I just cut and sent check today, so I likely wont have it my hands for 1-2 weeks), and I got eyes for some things in Heritage -- expensive time of the year! How are you doing?

Very nice 1914 CJ Wagner. Don is the man, he has some good cards at the right price. I’ve been picking up some smalls, really concentrating on the stock market. Good Luck with Heritage.

Can't believe its the only Ted I now own. Hope I can get to like the 70/30 t-b centering. Side/side just fine. Tough issue for centering..

[ullmandds]

Nice cad Pete. Something about a well loved card is just so appealing. Congrats.

Thx! I like to think that way back when this card travelled around in some kids pocket in a stack with the likes of loe jackson, ty cobb, dots miller sunset as well as maybe a cy young or peaches graham!!!

Great card. IMO, one of Teddy's nicest cards. I recently had to "settle" for a less than perfectly centered version, but I'm confident you'll love the colors and overlook the 70/30.

[MattyC]

So pumped about this card, forgive the 1951 in this section; I often wondered over the years if I'd ever come across one of these that was centered and focused. Just got to do a nice scan of it...

[orly57]

Matty, I'd take that 4 over most 7s. Just gorgeous. That should go nicely with your 52. Congrats buddy.

[Touch'EmAll]

Why the 4 ? Surely not corners or edges. Micro crease?

[MattyC]

No wrinkles or creases. In my experience it's just a good old fashioned under-grade; have had it happen a few times over the years. Not selling it, though, so can't see springing for a review. If I cracked it raw and sent it in ten times, probably comes back a 5 half the time, maybe six times, otherwise a 4.5.

Im very excited to add this triple error Brooks card to my T210 collection. I have wanted this card since it was first posted on this site. Big thank you to K for working with me on this one. Their is nothing better than a great trade with a hobby friend to acquire cards.

His PSA 4 is just as nice for sell.

I was sure that card was bought by an elderly baby-boomer who would soon die and flood the market with cards. So relieved that a spry 50 year old got it.

Jeff takes all the cake indeed. But I am still proud of this fella. And if any net54 member ended up with the 1904 Pittsburgh Leader Wagner, congrats and great battle, you win!

[orly57]

Congrats on that Wagner! I think you got a steal. I was watching it closely. Definitely high on my want list.

[ValKehl]

Congrats Jeff! Your pickup deserves a thread unto itself!

[oldjudge]

Nice job Jeff! It’s a beautiful card.

[calvindog]

Thank you to all. :)

[T206Collector]

Super excited to add this, gets me to 22/25...all from a member reaching out.

That’s enough to inspire me to collect them myself! Wow!!

[pokerplyr80]

Nice card, Jeff. Going to he hard to top that one.

True not much else would unless another member picks up a Wagner. Nice pick up Jeff. A relative bargain compared to what they were reported to go for when the find was first announced.

[Big Six]

Almost embarrassed to follow up a Cobb back and Wagner Rose with these two...but I will...it’s how I roll. Thanks Leon...my T205 journey continues...

Congrats on the Cobb, Jeff— must've been a thrilling auction for you.

Rose Wagner is a great card as well; kudos for bringing that home, Rhotchkiss.

Only candy cards I own (for now?).

That N300 Anson is outstanding. Great card & aesthetically better than the Cobb for me.

[KMayUSA6060]

So we can all agree that Jeffrey wins the month of February, right?

Onto March...

[oldjudge]

Mayos are beautiful cards when they are in that condition, and if you are looking to work on a 19th century baseball set, Mayos are really the only one that can be finished.

[Rhotchkiss]

It’s nuts that the Anson is like a throw-in, after the Cobb. I agree, close the thread, onto March!

[rainier2004]

That’s enough to inspire me to collect them myself! Wow!!

Um...no, no...you don't want to collect this set...at least until I'm done ;).

[Jason Carota]

Beautiful Anson, Jeff!

[Vintageclout]

Nervous last few mins...

Wow Jeff - an absolutely amazing pickup! One of the premier cards in the hobby at that grade. I sold my “2” in 2016 and still regret it. Not much left for you to conquer for Cobb cardboard....maybe it’s time to sit back and enjoy your unrivaled Georgia Peach collection!

Methinks Jeff has already won the year of 1918! :D

Just added the 3rd one today:

[cracker_jack]

Took a chance on this Fred Clarke walking stick. Might be missing a piece or two but I think it's cool.

[Huysmans]

That walking stick is EXTREMELY cool Chris... congrats!
Is it an auction pick-up?

[Jobu]

+1 --- very neat piece!

T5s rock. Nice pick up!!

Yes, it was a Best Offer on eBay for about 3 hours when I saw it. Consignor bought it in a Pennsylvania auction. I'm not sure if it had more of a handle or a piece of rubber on the bottom end at some point.

Thanks Leon. That's the first of hopefully more to follow.
