October pickups.

[Brian Van Horn]

Ah, senility. Put these in September pickups and then realized it's October. Also, sorry for the poor resolution on the M101s. My fault. Batting a 1.000 today:

[vthobby]

My fave October "pick up" so far, I just picked it up from UPS! Straight from PSA/DNA! Sweet!

Great pickups Dan!

[Butch7999]

September pick-ups, or October? Pre-WWII cards or Memorabilia? We're too happy with this ordered-and-delivered in September,
picked up only today, set of rare game cards to think about which thread in which subforum.
Behold! Base Ball ~ The Modern Card Game (1921, Schulz Amusement Card Co). The same image of Heinie Groh from the W573 set
graces the card backs. We're still missing the box and scoreboard, but in more than thirty years, we've seen only one other complete
set of the cards.

..upgrade from "poor-fair-beater" "place-holder" "collector-grade" "acceptable" "filler" to almost close-to somewhat possibly ( generously ) " good "...... these are not cheap for some reason......1936 Goudey R-314 'wide pens' Premiums......they do not have that little " Litho In USA" down in the lower right corner so that identifies them as "Type Two"

This is not pre-war, but there is no place for me to post it...

Despite my complaining about Ebay, I've picked up some truly exceptional deals in auctions. I am very proud of this, its easily NM in my opinion, and I paid well below recent sales.

"Eddie Sicking" , "Ray Fitzgerald 1932"....... ignore the flip ; everybody gets these wrong about 50% of the time...... the only one I'm missing now is "Pea Ridge Day" , who possibly had the saddest life of any ballplayer in the thirties , up until the death of Willard Hershberger and the diagnosis of Lou Gehrig...

[Rascal1010]

Thanks to Sterling, was able to finally finish this '41 Goudey "Rainbow" of Al Todd with 4 similar grading clean copies. Not really expensive, but a clean copy of the red background proved to be very elusive for me, took way longer than I thought. I'm still amazed at how many of these '41 Goudeys were mis-cut.

Since posting, I've learned of a second type 2 example (raw and with unique identifying staining on the top). If anyone knows of a third, I'd love to see it! I collect scans of this set along with the actual cards.

[sb1]

The vast majority of the Red Cross type 2's all came from a collection that have the small spot of back damage/horse glue. Clean examples are few and far between. Nice card!

[skelly423]

A little bigger than I normally collect, but I think they'll look good framed on my wall. Maybe next month I'll track down an M113 Wagner to balance it out.

I've got a reprint of this pose if you want it.

So it was legit...good good

That last 1 minute was insane on him. Went from 0 to final price all in a minute

Hi Jack,

I think you might be confusing this with the miscut Type 1 that sold awhile back on eBay.

This Type 2 was acquired in a private transaction.

It popped up yesterday on eBay when I was on lunch. The price was too good to turn down. It's been a lot harder of a HOFer to track down due to all the hoarding....eh...."collecting" ;)

..a premium from the Jack Armstrong Radio Show , brought to you by General Mills Cereal ; it's a glossy black and white photo , blank back , 5 x 7 ; looks much better in hand because the scanner setting is ''color''.....the sign on the wall reads :
"Players Must Not Bat
The Ball Toward The
Grandstand During Prac-
Tice"
...............................I believe the bottom says "The New York Baseball Club" but it's very small and I can't be sure of it.....I've never seen this particular shot of Teddy used for any other purpose , and I've seen hundreds. There is some evidence pointing to 1941 as year of issue and then Pearl Harbor happened and evidently the premium offer stopped abruptly...Jack Armstrong , The All American Boy , went to war.

..The back has a small pencil notation : " St. Louis"
"Giants-1942 "

so this is his last year in a Cardinals uniform.......how and when he left the Cardinals and got to the Giants is a helluva story on its own.......but just imagine The Big Cat and a rookie Stan Musial on the same team for a couple years

..Patty Berg is included in the premiums set of eight athletes because she was just plain awesome , at many things , but a champion at golf , and if ever you are stuck inside due to bad weather her wickipedia page and the various obituaries on the internet make marvelous reading. There's a street named after her in Fort Myers , Florida , which is a pretty neat accolade all by itself.
