October Pickups
 

I guess I'll start it again this month. Surprised to have USPS deliver this on a Sunday. Thanks Richard for a smooth transaction.

Sorry, off topic, but is it the norm for you guys state side to receive mail on the week-ends? I have read that before on here about deliveries/mail service on Saturdays and always wonder if that was normal?
Our mail service, at least here in Southern Ontario is only Monday to Friday.

Nice card, BTW.

Saturday is normal, Sunday is not.

RPPC of Billy Sunday umpiring in 1908...

Same thing happened to me last week. I'm guessing if the system is flooded with packages scheduled for a Monday delivery at your local Post Office, they just throw them on the truck with Priority Mail Express packages that are delivered on Sunday.

It used to be that Sunday deliveries around here for Amazon were handled by the USPS, but now Amazon uses their own employees for deliveries.

Crisp image Leon, nice pickup!

1st Croft's Candy.

Larry, that's a beautiful Croft's Candy card.

Am I the only one that doesn't see the Crofts card?

Go to this thread:

And go to the 14th post to see an explanation that might help.

Thanks to Jeff R.

Upgraded a fairly scarce Waddell Uniform W600

Just got around to scanning this beater I picked up last month from a fellow board member.

Quick delivery from Scott
 

Toronto type

Great pickup Scott. I was hoping that you got that one. That is a really tough one. Went cheap IMHO.

Love the BW's, very nice card.

I get that it's got some creases and corner damage, but that's a card that is above the moniker "beater." Nice pickup!

Picked up this Cycle Wheat T206. Its a very tough back for Wheat.

Pardon the non-Baseball nature of the cards but I've been on a bit of a hockey kick lately (I still think the Hockey Sweet Cap PC's are perhaps the most beautiful cards ever made!)...

Sweet cards! You're part Canadian now!

Schmidt T205
 

Received this nice Charles Schmidt T205 in the mail from the recent Brockelman Auction.

Thanks Scott!

I LOVE the Sweet Cap Art Ross Rhett!!

Ju-Ju Drums
 

Thanks to a board member I was finally able to get a Ju-Ju Drums for my Brooklyn type collection.

Great pickups Justin and Paul. Not only do you know fantasy,but you have a great eye for cards too!

I was watching that one and forgot about it. Congrats on the pick up Leon.

Beautiful card!

C. 1930's Photograph (Postcard Size) of the Babe golfing. Thanks Jeff!

Clearly, as everyone knows, the man was morbidly obese.

And all dressed just like the duffers you will see at your local muni this Sunday morning.

Thank you Scott at Brockelman Auctions for the heads up on a few cards in the last auction on my want list. Here is my favorite of the bunch.

I thought the same thing!! Clearly John Goodman was a good choice playing him in the movie!:rolleyes:

This one was on my wish-list for a while, but with a Psa and sgc combined population of 4, I didn't think I would see it for a long while. Thrilled to own it.

Classic
 

Nice one Orlando!

Nice one Orlando!!

Here is a scarcely seen hand colored rppc...postcard

Leon- That is an exquisite postcard! Did a little on-line sleuthing to see what I could learn. Was able to access the 1907 Holy Cross yearbook which had some photos and info about the 1905 team.

The Yale game marked the grand opening of Fitton Field.

Seems Yale won the game 5-4.

In 1905 Holy Cross had a catcher that went by the name of Carrigan. Making the bold assumption that the home team was in white and thus in the field, that would be him behind home plate.

Rough looking fellow 2nd from left back row. Very cool or what?

Congrats Orlando, huge card.

Why I love Net54
 

It's been awhile since I broke out the scanner, so these pickups go back a couple months, but they all have one thing in common: they were all procured from folks I've met on the board. Which means: no buyer's premium, no crazy shipping rates, no late nights, and no three week delays in shipment. Just great transactions among great dudes. Thanks to Leon, Orlando, Chris, Don, and Wondo.

Sam, you just posted N54 porn. congrats man. Great eye!!!

Nice scanner!!!

Cutlery Cobb/Wagner and 14 CJ Cobb are jist amazing cards. Congratulations guys on your pick ups. Some great cards already and REA is doesn't end until the 29th.

Amazing cards as always Sam.

Where did you find that? It is a pretty one, nice add to the stash.

Holy crap Sam, awesome! I'd love to see the back of the Cobb Bat on 4, because that front looks much better than a 4. And I am mucho jealous of the CJ Cobb- let's trade, let's trade!! Anyway, that is an amazing post. Congrats, great stuff, truly

This one found me. Its previous owner was kind enough to give me first crack at it.

Not quite as earth shattering as some of the others, but here are some recent pickups

Amazing cards, guys!

Someday, I am going to venture into pre-war.

Wow!
 

Incredible pickups!

With Series 4 complete, its naturally time to make a few upgrades!

Early stereoview...

Including Sterling, here's my October haul:

Happy to provide a home to this long lost ancestor of Patrick and J.R.....

That O'Hara is sweet.

Thank you, Jim!

I thought I should buy this one since it had my name on it.

E101 Matty
 

you are very welcome Steve! I owned him for a while and am happy to see he went to a good home.

Picked up a 1926 W512 ... Dazzy Vance

Nice Matty Steve. One of my favorite cards!

Well, it went to a home anyway ... :D

That is a very nice 3 - congrats Steve.

Thanks, Paul! It's one of my favorite poses as well!

Bryan, you really know how to make someone feel special. hahaha

Got this tough to find card at good price to boot.

RPPC with nice focus and clarity.

Wonder what the photo/card is to the right of the man standing in suspenders?

Sovereign 460 Tannehill and Piedmont 350 Jim Pastorius (Elite 11 I believe)

Signed Pre-War Reprints
 

I'll take every signed reprint of a card from before 1917 that you can find! They may be rarer than the real thing -- created circa 1977 there were so few years left in Rube and Edd's lives to sign many of these. Very happy to find these on ebay - and cheap too!

This is the photo from a T4 Obak cabinet, cut out and removed from the mount. Curious if anyone has a example of Moskiman's signature to compare with this. It would be fun if he wrote this himself.

Big Train
 

slowly but surely on the T205s..

Great T205 Walter Johnson, Leon!

Pretty bold move to show your Johnson here!
However, great card!

Well good, at least there’s one less person looking for a nicely centered T205 Johnson now. Great looking card. Your set is looking sweet.

PB brand
 

Thanks Guys!
My Johnson :) was a fairly modest pickup compared to a lot of others shown but it is a nice looking specimen and I am happy. It was from a board member...go figure. The staining is due to the brand, PB....I don't have him in hand yet but here is the back.

Very happy to add these two:

Thanks Brian.
