July Pick Up Thread
 

Almost July, so I'll start it off with something a little different. Here's a 1924 World Series Washington Senators Team Pamphlet I picked up on ebay recently. It has Kenesaw Landis on the front and a bunch of player and team photos inside, here's the WoJo for your viewing pleasure!

Here's a pick-up of a different sort, baby Alexander was born about six weeks early and should be coming home from the hospital sometime this week.

Congrats!!!!

Congrats Phil !
 

Congrats Phil!, its the rare born with lots of hair variety. Well done!

Congrats Phil!

If he had been on time, instead of early, he probably would have had a ponytail.

Congratulations Phil...that's great news!!

Great looking postwar Card(human type) Phil

Congrats Phil.

Congratulations Phil

I know this technically should go on the memorabilia side but wanted to show it here instead this time. I have a few of the tougher woodcuts from more obscure publications but this one is up there and while Daily Graphic woodcuts do come up for sale now and then, I have not seen this particular one. Very excited to add it to my collection!

Nice Tinker...coupons...and that woodcut is awesome!!!

Congrats Phil. Sleep is overrated, just keep remembering that.

One of the best woodcuts that I have ever seen, George. Congrats!

Thank You, Mark and Thank You, Shawn:

congrats Phil!

and great Senators piece Jeff!

Phil,
Great news! Congrats!
JimB

Great pick up

Excellent addition Sean!

That is one really nice low grade Magie...congrats.

Adam,

The three black and white cards are from the W503 set from 1922. The set totals 64 cards.

Thank you,

Brian Van Horn

Thanks to Dave from Baggers Auctions!

Big summer for me on W600's. the latest from a veteran collector in a trade deal.

Sean- what dumb schmuck parted with that Drum ;)

Here's my additions as of late...thanks to Chris, Jamie and Sean. (note- crazy hair in photo reflection is not mine). :)

Congrats Phil, You have the pick-up of the month!
RC

Mike,

Nice Miscuts.. its been a busy month for you and its only the 2nd day in July!

PS: I was having a bad hair day when I took that sweeney photo :cool:

Nice cards

Sick Wallace!

Thanks to fellow board member wcsportscards for this beauty!

Ha- just bustin' your chops, Jamie.

I'm trying to do the math calculating how much a miscut costs per millimeter. quick answer- a lot. ;)

Miguel,

Sweet card. Grats.

Excellent pickups Mike...really nice to see all of those end up in your collection!

I havent shown this one before...will be a long project.

My Baby
 

First off...big congrats to Phil for the top prize pickup!!! :D

I finally got my white whale crossed off...

Lou Gehrig:

Beauty, Brian! That whale's on my list too!

I had that one in my watch list.. was wondering where it went. Sweet Connor!!

I have stretched myself pretty thin with some recent pickups, but could NOT pass up on making an offer for this beauty..

Attachment 105296

Chris, I love the Hofman Red Cross. I wish I could find a Merkle/Red Cross. :D

Iron Horse
 

Brian - way to go on that Gehrig!!

Take Care,
Geno

1915 Cracker Jack Les Nunamaker
 

Picked up another classic CJ catcher pose.

Patrick

Michael, about that Drum, I can't believe it either. :D

I'm guessing from the absence of Seymour that you traded with Jaime. Good. I'm glad it went to a good home. :)

Nice 1889 Stockton composite cabinet with George Van Haltren, Charley Sweeney, and George Stallings as a player.

Chris,
Wow!

John,
Amazing Conner! Does he have a partner in his future? ;)

Jay,
Awesome piece! Is that Ewing? Stockton, CA?

JimB

Jay, figured you won those cabinets. I thought they went cheap!

Nice pickup.

Rob

Kids are expensive.....

Especially Triplets!..

Big Thanks to Mike Sarno for working out a deal to get me the 3rd.. pretty cool as I've never seen any one collector with 3 of the same before.

Jamie...you're a hoar...der!

Holy Seymour, Batman! Simply incredible. I didn't think more than two of any player/pose existed. Nice pick up.

Excellent Jamie! You're the first that I know of.

Technically there should be 3-4 of each player if the sheets were stacked that high. I know of one yellow/brown with 4 examples....

My theory is only one sheet existed.....the fact that three survived of one player and that they are back together is amazing...now I need to find that third Davis!

Jim--yes that is Stockton, CA. They were in the California League in 1889 with Oakland, SF, and Sacramento. They are the only one of the four with no players in the Old Judge set (yet). No, that is not Ewing, although it does look like him.

July Pick Up
 

1910 Red Sox Team Postcard sent from Harry Lord while in Hot Springs to friends back in Kezer Falls.

This is my first Ty Cobb card. I don't collect many cards, but saw this one and thought it would be a good add.

Congrats Phil!! If my memory hasn't failed me again, I read in another thread that you are using your new pickup as an excuse for not attending the National this year. You might want to rethink this and take Alex to the National, because it's never too early to expose a kid to card collecting! :D

Not being a set collector, a big thrill for me is when I acquire a card, such as this very tough W503, that fills a void in both my type collection and one of my player collections. Thanks again Mark!
Val

A classic Cobb, Mark. Nice! :cool:

Great card, Jim. Fantastic pickup with player provenance. Doesn't get any better than that.

Hi Jason, thank you. This provenance of this item is from Frank Jock (Kezar Falls collector and friend of Harry Lord) to Buck Barker to Ray Medeiros and as of this weekend to me. Interesting also is that this card has never been bought/sold just handed down from friend to friend.
