Is there really not a thread started yet?

Nice, Jeff.

Took a chance on it being authentic. I almost never buy raw.

Any quick thoughts from anyone?

Came this morning
 

Love the card, but loved the note that came with it even more.

Best regards,

Joe

Love that note

Looks good, nice find!

These

Technically late April, but I am just getting around to posting scans instead of the terrible cellphone pics I had posted...

Hell of a start already. That note is priceless; you must keep it with the card (provenance).

These were bought in April, but should arrive this month/any day, so they'll be May pickups for purposes of this thread

Ryan, 👍....

This Murphy (BL460) and a few others came from net54 member Chris, (usernamealreadytaken) awesome guy to deal with, thank you.
I already own the Murphy (Drum), so I guess I’m going to complete the back run.

AWESOME Chuck!! That BL 460 is a beast. You beat me, and Jamie, and Mike and many others to that card and I am glad it was you who drew first. Enjoy that sucker (and now I know why your were selling so many nice cards on ebay ;))

Matty
 

Nice card Steve. Sharp!

Thanks!

I knew it was Chuck who got the BL 460...glad you did.

that’s a great bl460 murphy. brings to mind one i used to own except it was missing a corner. ugly card but at least it had rarity going for it. your’s is a beauty

Agreed with everyone else, great BL 460 - congrats. Happy to pick these two up as types for postcard collection. No idea if there is supposed to be any premium on them but love the overprint on the Rose Company.

Ronnie- I used to also own the "rat bitten" Murphy BL460. Wasn't pretty...but it was rare.

Hey Chuck, this is exactly how I began my Street back run. I owned the BL 460, then I bought the Drum from Mike. After that it was pretty easy, although the Lenox and Piedmont 42 took some time. And I still don't have the Hindu Red.

Let us know how the back run progresses. :)

After I bought the Konetchy BL 460 in REA, I've since acquired 6 other backs of that pose...it's quite addicting.

So you're doing a back run?

Nice haul Ryan. That Croft's Wagner is awesome.

Waiting for me when I got home from vacation.

I rarely get pre-war stuff, so I was very excited to put this one in the Maine collection.

I think you can tell by the photo background where I got it!!!

Thank you guys for the kind words, much appreciated. I enjoy seeing everyone’s new pick ups and feeling the excitement in their writings/postings. For me, the search is on for my next card, lol.

Not sure, just yet...just acquiring a few of his poses when I see nice examples.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...... BTW - i just saw a nice and reasonably priced SC 350-30 on ebay.

Thanks Dean, I appreciate the shout out

Game in Action rppc.I think the action shot is neat.

according to the description. .

"This is an original, vintage photo postcard showing the famous Cuban HOF and negro league's Star, BASILIO "EL BRUJO" ROSELL, scoring, with catcher ANGEL FLEITAS ready to tag, while playing for the "Mexico BBC & Monterrey BBC, respectively, during the 1945 season in Mexico City. "

I'm all over the place. (The latter two are signed, but I haven't taken a picture of the Shepard Fairey/Chuck D print yet so this is just the generic image as it looked pre-signatures.)

This puts me at a completely graded set minus the Big 4. I had finished it sans the Demmitt and O'Hara years ago (lucky for me) and recently added the Demmitt via auction and this O'Hara from B/S/T. I'm leaving the door open on a Magie but after that it's Powerball or bust.

That's a great looking card for a 1.5

Thanks Sean. I felt the same way and that's what led me to pulling the trigger. Image clarity is really sharp.

Dietsche Wildfire Schulte
 

It's always a cool moment completing a prewar set-

congrats

Congrats Tim.

Nice job Tim!

Congrats Scott and Tim - always satisfying completing a major project. Now what?

Ben - GREAT card!

Way to go, Tim!

Nice Matty Ben!

They Might Be Giants

Thanks guys
 

Wish I could finish the Dietsche Tigers too, but there's a little matter of two Ty Cobbs. :confused:

RPPC....I think the catcher is in danger.....

Not to mention the batter batting crosshanded

Wow, great eye, Jay. That's not an easy detail to catch.

Not a big deal at all, but sometimes you look forever for a card, and then one morning it just pops up on a saved ebay search.

I coached enough little kids to notice that right away.

Dont swing too early or you'll clean out some kids

E254 Tommy Clarke
 

Picked this E254 Tommy Clarke recently!

Patrick

Guy behind the pitcher pulled up a chair. Guess he was tired?

Bats like a girl...or Hank Aaron before he was convinced to change to the more conventional grip.

Brian

Just pick these up still in the old school Goudey 9 pocket sheet.

Thanks to BuyThatCard
 

That Hornsby looks nice in the binder page.

Here's a Gillespie batting. I need to check, I think I only need a RHHH to finish the run. It has taken me longer to do this player run than I thought it would. Ten years on...

Nice job! I’m embarrassed to admit that it knew what RHHH was.

Cotuit is on Cape Cod and has great oysters. I know it well.

Thanks, Jay. I figured the OJ collectors would know "right hand head high". I say "right hand held high" for the Connie Mack, which is one of my favorite cards.

Happy to add this one last night - price was right, and bonus eBay Bucks certainly helped as well!

This completes my T213-2 Yankees team set

Thanks to Brian for helping me add to my Matty back run. Still on the hunt for an EPDG, Cycle or Polar Bear if anybody has a 3/4 grade.

Congrats Dean. Let’s see the emerging run! Also, really great looking -2 Chance and Lajoie Brunners.

Another piece of the Wajo puzzle.

Recent LOTG pickups: So excited to acquire something period of HOFer Henry Chadwick! My HOF career-contemporary number now stands at 316/329. Also, picked up the Bill Dahlen because 1) Speculation of his eventual induction, and 2) My collection REALLY needed a Turkey Red - my very first. :-)

Bisons
 

Bisons...

ALSO, while at it, would like to buy the missing piece. :eek:

I picked up these guys to add to my very modest Black Sox collection.

My second one of these. Everybody, but Paul Waner.

May Pickup : Rowdy Elliott Tin Top
 

I have been after this one for almost 25 years. Thanks to Daryl "King Cobb" for helping me finish off the one card needed for completion of my Nashville Minor League Collection!

Cool pick up Leon.

May seems to be a Wagner month. Thanks to Tim, Bob, and Dan, each of which is a board member, for these cards. I am especially over-the-moon about the Newsboy.

That Baltimore Newsboy is a neat card. Congratulations Ryan.

+1. Don’t think I’ve seen that card before.

Worth the wait!
 

Congratulations! Some Colgan's Tin Tops are so scarce only a handful of copies are known.

Jerome, that's awesome that you picked up a Tin Top to finish your Nashville collection. There are four Tin Tops on my Jersey City want list that I will likely never acquire. Your pick up gives me some hope though. :D

Ryan, that Newsboy Wagner is incredible, congratulations

May P/Up
 

Picked up a 55 and 56 Mantle At a local NJ Show.

I really like the colors...

Thanks all. And that’s a great looking e90-1 Matty!

I took a Chance on this card at Goldin tonight. Admittedly, likely over-graded but very tough combo.

Congrats J on finishing off the Nashville collection. What a site that would be to see the run!

Couple t206s came in this weekend
