June pickup thread

[phikappapsi]

Never kicked one of these off before (hope I'm not stepping on toes) but pretty excited to add this one, at a price I found to be reasonable:

[Baseballcrazy62]

That’s an awesome card!!

[DeanH3]

That’s an awesome card!!

That is a beauty Joe.

[LincolnVT]

Goes nicely with your E98 Wagner -- congrats!

[charlietheexterminator]

Joe, you should be excited, that is a beauty, congrats.

[Rhotchkiss]

Wow Joe, very nice. Congrats!

[t206kid]

2 good ones

[phikappapsi]

Beautiful Jay

[phikappapsi]

Thanks all, and God bless the black swamp find. I don't even care how many there are. High grade playing days Cobb was not in my vocabulary before the BSF

[Farm_kid]

Mail arrived a few minutes ago. Time to find some cardboard to put in these...

[Andrew1975]

Happy to add this one to the collection...

Wow Andrew! Great pickup!!

[gabrinus]

Nice ones Jay, Joe and Andrew...especially love the E94s...Jerry

[phikappapsi]

All that Bond Bread talk in the other thread made me do this; I'm a sheep:D

[Rhotchkiss]

Awesome pick up Andrew, and a super-tough combo to boot. Congrats

Jay, cant go wrong with an E94 Cobb or Wagner.

[ZiggerZagger]

This one kind of fell from the sky! I expected it to be #520 -- but it ended up being #516 instead.

And great pickup on the D304 Andrew -- one of my favorite cards in the entire hobby.

Nothing big for me anymore, but I do like upgrading my local teams - replaces an ungraded version:

[charlietheexterminator]

Picked up a bunch of cards in the past two weeks, I just started to snap the pics. Just want to say, all my pick ups were from net54 members, thanks Luke for this one. To all the new members, this is the best place to shop for cards and to find new hobby friends.

[Andrew1975]

Thanks Dan, Jerry, Ryan and Jason.

Jason, congrats on the Demmitt. Beautiful card.

After seeing all those beauties, things are going to get a little ugly. I purchased (for very little) a group of skins from a scrapbook...about 20 in all. Some compounded their sins by also being trimmed.

Highlights: DeLong (skinned and trimmed) Terry, Maranville, O'doul, Kuyler, Traynor and Lindstorm

1933 Goudey: Collins, Traynor, Grimes and Hoyt

And the "highlight" of the lows...These US Caramels

There were also a few Goudey commons. Still, at a little over $3 a card, it is a bottom feeder's dream.

[charlietheexterminator]

Nice shopping job Todd.

This is a Net54 pick up, thanks to Pat R.

[joejo20]

I was fortunate to find these recently which were found in an envelope dated 1911. There was a letter inside talking baseball but not mentioning the cards.

All but one are EPDG backs and they look like they have never seen sunlight.

Congratulations Joe.

This is what it's all about!

Sensational cards!

[charlietheexterminator]

Joe, Awesome find, congratulations. You really need to spread those cards out and let us get a better view. It appears to be at least three HOF’er’s

Great cards as usual everyone! Was glad to add two more Cub HOF Kotton cards this month and picked up a few others as well. 3/4 from Net54 members!

[BabyRuth]

Been a busy month

Finished off my Butter Cream set after 6 years!!!!

Super rare Wacky Patches pack 1 of 4 on the pop charts!!!

[triwak]

Posted in another thread. Not really a card, nor extremely vintage, but I finally found a collectible of HOF Spinks Sportswriter's Award Honoree, Milton Richman. He apparently played briefly in the minors in the St. Louis Browns organization, which is why I wanted SOMETHING of him. I collect those HOF honorees who actually played professionally. Terrific cards this month, guys!!

[x2drich2000]

A small add to the E253 set and apparently when I can't get enough candy, I pick up this horrible tobacco habit. :p Thanks Jamie!

Thanks Jeff!

[Rhotchkiss]

Pete, incredible pick up. Congrats!

I am sorry to follow that amazing post card with these, but I am too excited not to post my most recent pickups. The (Connecticut) Wagner and the Doyle come from the collection that was shown in the Detroit Institute of ArtS for two years. Needless to say, I am tickled. I will try to post bigger/better pics later.

The Demmitt has been posted already in the thread, but I finally received the Smith (Chicago & Boston) variation today.

Been tinkering with this graphic of the scarcer variations in my set for a while, and now pleased to complete it.

At 518/520 on the Monster in PSA 4-5, and it's been a heck of a fun ride. Lots of good friends made along the way.
Nearly there now...

[Rhotchkiss]

Thanks guys. Yea, my head is spinning. I just looked back on the thread - June has been awesome. There are some really beast cards picked up by board members this months. Lots of rare backs.

[gabrinus]

Holy Shit Ryan!!!...Jerry

[atx840]

Wow.

Congrats Ryan. Not many have completed the set, truly impressive.

[MVSNYC]

Ryan,

Meh.

(Congrats, my friend.)

[Blunder19]

Ryan,

ill come out of the woodworks to congratulate you on that one... well done my friend!

great pick ups! very happy for you.

[brass_rat]

Congrats, Ryan! That was quick...

[ValKehl]

Wow Ryan, just WOW! But now that you've scaled Mt. Everest, what's left to conquer? :)

[edjs]

Wow.

Congrats Ryan. Not many have completed the set, truly impressive.

I don’t think he has completed the set. He just likes Wagner and Cobb, major hof’ers, and rare backs/ combos. Ryan, correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think you have any commons unless they have a truly tough back, do you? And that is really sweet! Congrats, man.

[ahumes13]

Great job on nailing down the Honus, but an ever better job on the Doyle!!! Genuinely awesome!

[pcoz]

Ryan, CONGRATS!!! Pickups of the year by far!!

PS will trade you - take my wife.

She's not vintage; only 29 so she comes from the junk era. good centering; and rounded corners; with very good eye appeal for the age. rare back!

[Rhotchkiss]

Thats Funny Joe. Thanks again all. Ed (Hi!), you are correct that I dont have a T206 set. But now that have the big 4, I think its time to endeavor putting one together.

[RCMcKenzie]

FedEx delivered these today. I didn't know they delivered on Sunday. I guess the pandemic is over because I had to sign.

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up this T222 Fatima Jimmy Archer on eBay recently. I now have both back versions for Archer.

Tough to find in this nice condition!

[Beansballcardblog]

Nothing compared to the Cobbs and other high dollar items on here, but a great mail day for me!

Picked these up from another local collector that contacted me. He told me that he had three Fort Worth cards and a price. I picked them up without even checking to see if I needed.

Welp, two out of three were needed. The third, my copy was graded so this will go into the page. I can't imagine this going any better.

I'm now at 14 of the 16 for the Fort Worth Panthers team set, just need the Morris and Weatherford cards.

[pokerplyr80]

This just arrived today from the bst. Thanks to Jeff for a smooth and quick transaction and to Ryan for helping out.

[todeen]

Very awesome cards this month. I had a great day, both of my purchases arrived today. Not only did my first Cobb arrive today, but my first honest-to-goodness card of Gehrig arrived today as well from the BST. Both are very eye appealing. Going to send the Gehrig off to SGC along with a couple other vintage pieces in need of slabbing.

[thecomebacker]

Very Sweet CJ Joe Jackson! Very nice condition and color. Looks more like a 4 than a 2.

After some of the cards posted in this thread this month; this one is almost a letdown. but I've fallen smitten with this set.

[packs]

Picked up this possible M116 proof of Barney Pelty. I've seen suggestions that these cards may have come from an advertising piece, but I believe them to be proofs. If this card came from an advertising piece, the piece would have had to have been huge. This card originally appeared in a lot of 65 other "proofs". A poster that size would have been beautiful:

Finally picked up a few 1934 Goudey cards.

[todeen]

After some of the cards posted in this thread this month; this one is almost a letdown. but I've fallen smitten with this set.I don't think a Christy Mathewson is ever a letdown. I don't have anything with his name on it! Great pick up. Congrats!

You win June. Hell, you might win 2020. WOW.

[JoeDfan]

Hmmm. I rarely post anything on this side of the Net54...
I am really starting to enjoy these little cards. Maybe a little too much.

Usually, I collect game used bats.
I do not think this is an addiction I should be starting...but they are so colorful...

Dan, that is one hell of a great, and fine looking, card. I hope you enjoy that for a long time. You have made some major pickups lately.

[Cardboard_Head_Boyd]

Hi Everybody!

First off, I am so excited to see all the super-rare and cool cards you folks pickup-ed this month.

After a couple decades off - I returned to the hobby this month. I hoped to find a set that I could afford that also had some aesthetics I that I could dig. When I saw the Diamond Stars R327 cards - they seemed like the perfect place for me to start my prewar collection.

I did a bit of inertent sleuthing, and decided that I should bid on a couple so I could see what they look like - although I generally prefer to be a bit more educated and look in person.

The cards seem authentic and mostly as pictured online (Sam Rice has some possible hairline creasing on his right chin and possible discoloration in the yellow window to his left that I couldn't see online and can barely see with my naked eye, Bill Terry has some glue residue on top and obvious flaws).

So - any critiques or armchair grades based on these images would be awesome, and educational. Any tips on how i'm a dummy or where to post noob question are appreciated - message me if posting here would take this thread off-topic.

My main concern is flat-out overpaying and its always tough to gauge "the market" based on a week of Ebay watching.

Small risks are always fun to take and overall I am super happy with my start.

Thanks, again - you probably get a new one of these guys like me every week.

Starting to get back into acquiring cheap low grade baseball T grade cards again, this one was $87.20 after shipping/CA tax, most I've spent on a T206 yet as a lover of low grade commons. Trying to pick up the cheaper HOF action shots. This one has a Polar Bear back, my favorite.
