[brianp-beme]

Tough card! Nice snag on the Speaker!

To me the E90-1 Speaker is the toughest of the big name Hall of Famer E90-1 cards, so indeed a great snag, and nice looking to boot!

Brian

[pherbener]

Thanks Eric. Beautiful Cobbie Ben!!

[Leon]

Looks great, Ben. Congrats ...on one of my 3 favorite cards in the hobby.

Leon, the t205 set is definitely at the top of my prewar enjoyment. It goes well with my photos as well. Thank you!

Not in the greatest shape but the price was right.343444

[x2drich2000]

Super excited to get this in the mail today, especially after forgetting to bid on the Kotton a few weeks ago. Thanks again Pete!

Nice pickup!

My first US Caramel:

[BLongley]

Just picked this up

[CobbSpikedMe]

Just picked this up

Is it normal now for SGC to not include the player's name on the flip anymore?

Nice pick up nonetheless.

[BLongley]

Yeah, that’s weird right? Just “throwing”... has to be a mistake they didn’t put it.


Is it normal now for SGC to not include the player's name on the flip anymore?

Nice pick up nonetheless.

[darwinbulldog]

Bought this from a seller in Louisiana. This might have been its first trip out of the state in 100 years.

[Gobucsmagic74]

Was finally able to replace the SGC 40 that I always regretted selling, and its subsequent placeholder, with a nicely centered copy. Probably going to be sending this one in for review since SGC wasn't doing half grades back when this one was slabbed.

Thank you sir!

[itjclarke]

Beauty Dan, congrats! I got my green Cobb about 9 years ago, a centered PSA2, but with some stained borders. Now that prices are where they are, I really wish I’d ponied up the couple hundred extra it would’ve taken back then to a cleaner 2 or a 3.

Not sure how it got that plastic casing around it, unless PSA sent a team to do on-site grading in Louisiana...cool find, nonetheless!

[MikeGarcia]

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/2042957/view/1936R311_NEW.JPG

1936 R-311 Premium from National Chicle ; the Brooklyn Dodgers from this set is also just as scarce ; the Boston Braves with Babe Ruth is the toughest to find.

..

[gabrinus]

Nice type 3 Glenn...Jerry

[Rich Falvo]

Got a fun little pickup for my "Providence" collection. I've seen many auction listings that mislabel the T206 Hof(f)mans, Morans, and Shaws, but this is the first I've gotten with the wrong name on the flip.

[orly57]

Congrats Dan! That’s a great 2! Great card Brian!

[RCMcKenzie]

Nice premium, MikeG, with the Waner Bros.

[Jdoggs]

Nice green Cobb.

[Vintagecatcher]

I picked up all three of these cards at the post office this morning from recent eBay purchases.

Picked up a sharp Jimmy Archer M116 Sporting Life with a 300 subjects back.

Also picked a cool 1915 Ivy Wingo Cracker Jack.

Lastly, I grabbed a Lou Ritter T206 because it has contrast in the pink background whereas my current example has no contrast just a flat pink background on the top half of the card.


Patrick

[mybuddyinc]

Nothing major, just a tougher Sov.150, to replace a 350 ...... ;)

[Rhotchkiss]

Great pick ups so far- too many to mention, but especially the t206s and the Gandil Green-Joyce

These are paid for/checks in the mail, but none are in hand yet... (I can’t get the Crofts Cocoa backpic to post, but it has a clean back)

[Promethius88]

Well, this appears to be all pre-war cards but I'm going to post my weekend pickup anyhow.
Was actually picking up some junk wax when I asked if there were any other packs at a LCS. Pulled out a few including this one. Wasn't looking for vintage packs but can't pass them up when they are a good deal!! The front of the case needs a good wipe down but otherwise I'm pretty pumped!

[Jobu]

Wow --- nice!!!!!

It appears to be all prewar because it is the prewar section. No offense meant, but there is another section all about post war cards.

[BumBum]

I'm relatively new to the board, and only recently back in the hobby for the last year. My goal for 2019 has been to go full-bore on my very small but growing Chicago Cubs HOF collection. For all pre-WWII Cubs HOF'ers, my goal is to have at least one original card of each player in a Chicago uniform. I figured Cap Anson to be one of the more expensive acquisitions, and frankly have never spent this much on a single card! The rest of the collection will seem much easier to acquire after this one (with the exception of King Kelly's Chicago N172 Old Judge - that one is hard to locate).

It's been a busy few days on eBay. :eek:

Cap Anson - 1887 N28 Allen & Ginter
Jim "Hippo" Vaughn - 1916 M101-5 Sporting News
Hack Wilson - 1931 W517
Rogers Hornsby - 1931 W517

344119 344121 344122 344120

[DeanH3]

Mail day today. A HUGE thank you to Wilson. Could not have asked for a better transaction. He answered every question and package arrived quickly, safe and sound. Thank you Wilson!

[DeanH3]

Fantastic group of cards there Brandon. Congrats!

[charlietheexterminator]

Nice pick ups Brandon, love the Anson

[BLongley]

Picked up these two...

Nice Ryan! Wow... love that wrong back Wagner!!

[x2drich2000]

Ryan, did you forget REA opens in less than a month, or are you just getting warmed up? :eek: Love the cocoa Cobb; great pose, tough back and really tough to find in that condition.

DJ

[rdixon1208]

Picked up the Hooper a while ago just never scanned it in. Just got the Brown at the Tristar show Sunday.

344130

[ValKehl]

Todd, that Green-Joyce Gandil is my kinda card - a truly-rare, real-photo card. Congrats!

Ryan, every time I see your pickups, I think there is now way that your encores will surpass them - then, your encores usually do! Congrats! I am more and more looking forward to your second "DC area Net54 Show & Tell" that I hope and believe you are planning to organize in the not-too-distant future, because I can't wait to see your new gems up close and personal.

[Rhotchkiss]

Thanks all for the kind words- I am total cardboard junky.

Dean, great looking HOF example (as always); Brian, awesome month so far; Brandon, looking forward to seeing more posts - Go Badgers!!

[Lorewalker]

These monthly pick up threads are my favorites on the board. Great stuff fellas.

[Promethius88]

It appears to be all prewar because it is the prewar section. No offense meant, but there is another section all about post war cards.

No offense taken. This thread was on the Homepage so I thought it was inclusive to all pickups.

[charlietheexterminator]

Ryan, if you stopped right now, you would have had a great year.

Brian, those are two mice pick ups, congrats.

Dean, your 100% correct about Wilson, class act. Nice Matty...I picked up his Speaker, looks much better in hand.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Outside of Ruth and Gehrig, Exhibits still seem fairly inexpensive given the supply. On a whim bought this one.

[Ricky]

Nice Collins, Peter. Exhibits and W517s are a very reasonable avenue for HOFers.

[Throttlesteer]

Agree, sweet Collins. Hes not known for a lot of attractive cards. This is one of my favorites.

[MVSNYC]

Chuck, great Speaker!

[Rhotchkiss]

Darn you, Ryan! I was the underbidder on that SGC 7 Matty. Gorgeous card. Nicely done.

[Vintagecatcher]

After a slow month in January, I have had a brisk month of February with regards to pickups. These three arrived today.

Picked up a George Gibson T205 with American Beauty back on eBay, then a Billy Sullivan from Sterling Sports Auctions, and lastly another Eddie Ainsmith T207. Weird how my pickups went in American Card Catalog order!



Patrick

[BLongley]

Grabbed this tough front/back combo. Just love the Walsh t206 and wanted a rare Back of his issue.

[cdn_collector]

Picked up a George Gibson T205 with American Beauty back on eBay...Patrick

Nice pickup on the Gibson AB, Patrick. I made a half-hearted attempt to pick it up on the cheap simply because they are super rare, but in the end, just drove the price up on you. Sorry about that -- had I known who I was bidding against, I'd have happily settled for only having one, and backed off.

Cheers,

Richard.

[Vintagecatcher]

No worries Richard!

Figured I stole it for $41.00.

Patrick

[rsst206]

Picked this up on PWCC and can't figure out why it didn't get a numerical grade.
But will fit nice into my set

[Jason]

This Hands on Hip Johnston finishes of my first of four planned N172 pose runs. I have the same N173 image and two variation OJ's so still a bit of work to do for the master Johnston set. This one wrapped up surprisingly quick!

[MVSNYC]

Thanks Luke! My first Coupon.

[Bram99]

Satchmo!

[Brian]

Could not resist this one.....

[Rhotchkiss]

Nice Michael!

[pencil1974]

Upgraded my SGC 1 to this guy. No creases, no folds, complete opposite of my other one. Been looking for a while for a nice copy.

[MVSNYC]

Thanks Ryan, you mean the T206, er I mean Coupon?

That T207 Vaughn makes me want to collect T207s. Sweet card!

This Hands on Hip Johnston finishes of my first of four planned N172 pose runs. I have the same N173 image and two variation OJ's so still a bit of work to do for the master Johnston set. This one wrapped up surprisingly quick!

Nice job Jason! Getting a pose run is a pretty tough task to pull off. Let me take a wild guess, are Jim Powell, Mouse Glenn and Billy Nash the other three players you are going to do a pose run on? If so, Powell will probably be the most challenging. Good luck !

Jay

Thank you Jay its been a blast and Is till appreciate you helping along the way. You are correct that is the 4 main players I am looking for. Throw local boy Pop Tate in for good measure and we will call it 5.

Great pickup Glenn. I have an upside down Holmes to Homes of a common player (Burns).

Thanks, guys. Guess there's a good chance Crawford and Burns were printed on the same sheet. I wonder if there are any other upside-down Holmes to Homes cards lurking out there.

I am not really a card guy anymore than I am a photo guy, but this pairing was just too neat for me to pass up doing. Always like players like Bill Bruton, who have a rich contextual relationship to a ball club. On Opening Day 1953 (at Crosley Field), he became the first Milwaukee Brave to:

-Come to bat in an official major league game.

-Get a base hit in an official major league game

-Score a run in an official major league game.

-Get a base hit in an official major league game

-Score a run in an official major league game.

And while I'm excited with every one that is added, this one is cool because it is one of the "lost cards." John Scott contacted me late last week and said he had one he wanted to reunite with the others and in our discussion, found out it was a Bergen that he had acquired at the same time I was just starting to really focus my collection on only Howe's cards. But I had missed this one on eBay, and only had the scans from that auction back in 2009. It arrived today, and comparing the scans, it is the Lost Bergen. With it off the list, that leaves 37 cards I know exist with the stamp on them, 27 of which I have no idea where they are. But even one off that list is big. Thanks, John.

Ed have you ever found a duplicate of a card also stamped?

[Howe’s Hunter]

Going back to March of 2017 (the last time I really counted), of the 311 cards I had at that time, there are 238 that had one card of the player/pose, 59 had two copies of the player in that pose, 12 cards had three of in the same player/pose, and two cards I with four copies of the same player/pose.

We can up that last one just a bit, because one of the cards I got from REA in the fall was copy number four of Lundgren/Chicago.

Seems strange that he had four of a card that is/was considered one of the tougher commons. Another one is Southern Leaguer Ed Foster, with a Hindu back. I have two, and I know of one more example that is out there, but isn't mine. Tough card with a tough back.

Makes me wonder as older collectors decide to sell or their heirs sell what other rarer cards might come out that have the stamp.

Picked up this nice S74 silk from Mark Macrae.

I now just need a colored S74 silk of George "Peaches" Graham, and my run of catchers in the colored S74 silks will be complete.

Plenty of items available to trade or I can purchase outright!

Thanks again Mark!

Couldn't resist this Georgia Lefty:

Does anyone know anything about Charles Bray?

I just did a forum search on 'Bray' and am very honored to have one of his cards joining my collection. Way Cool!

...I decided to go against my policy of not purchasing graded cards this low, but it is another from Charles Bray AND it's stamped!

Old Trade card..

Leon I love 19th century baseball themed trade cards and collect them. I have that one. I am always looking for others. I have Frank's book which I regard as the Bible for what might be out there.
