July pickups
 

Hope this is an explosive month for pickups. Let's see what you got

Indianapolis T206
 

As of now:
T206 Rube Marquard portrait PSA 3
T206 Birdie Cree El Principe De Gales (probably will grade a 3)
T206 Nameless George Mcqullian
Many more to come.

My first Diamond Stars, my #1 target, and it drives me bonkers.

I love that card. My favorite looking card from the Diamond stars set.

Really nice Waner.

One of my favorite poses.

Wow mike...beauty!!! E93?

Thanks Pete, didn't want to bump heads with you on an e94 so went with the e93.

Right!!! Luckily i've had my e94 cobb for a while now...and will not be buying Another!!!

Neither will I now.

Gorgeous card!!! Congrats!
JimB

Mike

Beautiful card

Thanks Jim and Frank.

Mike- That Cobb card, she's a beauty. Congrats.

I've been on the watch (get it? I know - bad) for this card for a while - happy with this bold one!

A tougher, early card of Joe Sewell.................

Does writing on the front affect value ?

.....is it remotely possible that the signatures are actual autographs ? They were in a collection of old postcards I bought a long time ago ; when did the broad-tip "pen" become widespread ? I know squat of the autograph world . Thanks for any answers , regards , MikeGarcia

Mike,

Man, the Cobb is a beauty! Congrats on adding that to your fine collection.

Best,

Andy

#208, thanks to another board member
 

Doug (Phillies Phan) found this one in a larger lot that he recently won. He contacted me mid week last week and it arrived to join the others. Thanks, Doug, and everyone who has ever helped.

Nice one Phil, never seen that card before

From Sterling
 

Don't get the grade designation. Oh well. Buy the card, not the grade, right? ;)

@Mike Garcia..........both those autos look pretty good to me. Those guys could both have signed with sharpies........I have signatures in my collection that are very similar........popular medium to have autographed too.......

Thanks, Matt.

Officially only one was this month
 

The Tannehill came today, and the other two were late last month... but just now scanned

New one to go with the 1909 Pirates collection.

The July (latest) pickup was the American Beauty back. Thanks to Chris Browne for stitching this all together for me with Photoshop. I thought it would be fun to post the group together even though only the AB is a July pickup.

Six straight from Jersey
 

Freshly encapsulated... bringing me to 289:

First pick up this month.

Erick

Good luck on your SGC 40 jouney

I hadn't seen this item before so I had to pick it up (the actual item has his name written backwards as it is a transfer, the image has been reversed below to read it correctly)...

Larry,
Those are a couple of really nice T206s.

a few more HOF rookies
 

now a little over 50% complete! Thanks to all Net54 members who have helped me thus far, esp. Phil G.

1923-24 Exhibit Al Simmons - thanks Scott
1948-49 Trinidad y Hno Monte Irvin - thanks Phil (you know why)
1941 W754 St. Louis Cardinals Enos Slaughter - thanks ebay

Great pick ups, Derek

Thank you Derek! Very nice pickups, love that Irvin.

As ugly as it looks, it is still beautiful to me.

Thanks to Todd for the card. Have it shadowboxed on my desk at home. This encapsulates everything about what I think a 100 year old card should look like.

I got these three beauties and another really nice card, in what was for me at least a very big straight up trade.

very cool, Mike!

Those look great together Mike!!

Thanks again Mark, for the e135 Wag

Got this one today.

Happy to pick this up from a fellow board member

Haven't seen one of these, and since I collect pre-1912 Iowa baseball post-cards, had to have it. Wonder what "...and you can have me" meant in 1908?

N333
 

Was able to add a Detroit type card to my collection from the SF Hess Newsboys League. Thank you Dan McKee! I've been wanting a nice Detroit example for awhile. I'm sure this little guy was a big fan of the Detroit Wolverines.

Oj's
 

Was able to knock off two very scarce* OJ cards at one time thanks to Joe's Vintage Cards (*according to the Miller,Gonsowski,Masson Old Judge book, I am not a plant for them, just a reference :) )

Found this at a local flea market today with my wife and son and found this and it was fairly cheap. I could not be happier with this one.

Two new ones
 

If you can't tell the first one is a Bobby Byrne and the second one is a Fred Snodgrass (catching)

Nice one Joe! He looks really excited about having his picture taken! How cool would it have been back then to have a card issued, as a kid...

Joe,
Nice SF Hess!
JimB

Picked up this Wheat Sporting Life
 

I know this card isnt old but I like it because I have the same wire photo that was used for the card.

Very cool, Kenny!

Wheat and Frisch Helmar
 

Picked this up, once again I know its not old but I do have the original wire photo so it I like it.

Have a couple more auctions winding down but got one of the hardest cards from the 1947 team done

Anyone had any success at soaking montiels before?

I think I got a great deal on this beauty.

T206 Ed Konetchy - Glove Near Ground Pied Fact 42
 

Picked up my 3rd Piedmont Factory 42 off e-bay last week. Won it the day my e-bay bucks hit, so it only cost me a fraction of winning bid :D Has back stamp ( Garwood Jaynes ) which as many of you know, I actually like back stamps. Sorry for the fuzzy scans...

Ralph,

Glad you got that card, very nice.

Great DiMaggio Bulldog. I like the logic too. If you need to miss part of a card, let it be the border.

Thanks Andrew --- Ralph

1885 Harper's Weekly
 

I am uber excited to have picked up this early (earliest?) Buck Ewing. There are plenty of notable HOFers on this complete 1885 Harper's Weekly Woodcut:

Very nice pick-up, Derek, I used to own that one and loved it with all of the HOF'ers. There is an individual woodcut of Ewing pictured in an 1882 issue of the New York Clipper, had that one too and sold it a little while back. I believe that there is also an earlier c1880 Troy team photograph out there, that one is sure to cost in the thousands, maybe even five-figures.

38 Goudey Heads Up Foxx
 

Well, picked up this signed Jimmie Foxx 1938 Goudey Heads Up for a steal on the bay in looking at comparables. It got certified through PSA/DNA (which I don't care, I want a slab protection on the card). And would like to give Jim and Richard a shout out again for their help. Will post pics in slab upon receipt.
