August pickups
 

I find it surprising that nobody started a new pickup thread yet. After all, there is a somewhat significant show being held this weekend.

Let's see some new acquisitions, fellas.

Best regards and happy collecting,

Eric

Epdg

Thanks to Jeff for the t206's =)

Nice EPDG run you have going there. I was going to offer to help you out but I only have a Burchell as my sole EPDG but you already have it anyway.

And another member posted the 52 Pierce and the card looked amazing so thought I'd add one to my collection seeing as I'm a Sox fan.

Jeff and Josh....
 

great pick ups!!!

jeff, have you come across any "F" stamped epdgs???? I have been tracking the f scott fitz's....a lot on epdg:)

T206 EPDG Abbott
 

I didn't see this one in your spread, but if I just missed it sorry.

Any interest in a trade?

I Need:
AB 460 back
Cycle 350 back
AB 350 no frame back
Sovereign 150 back

Some guy I never heard of but pretty sure he didn't play for the Reds.

Posted in the t206 thread, but I'll post here for the non t206 collectors.

Nice card. I may not be a big t206 collector but I know that's a tough one.

Saw that on eBay nice pick up !!!

Came home last night to find a little cocoa waiting for me. Thanks to a board member.

Great eye appeal, great card. Must be thrilled, congrats.

Yes I am. I went to sell some stuff and found that at a great price with cash in pocket.

Really want to thank Sean1125 for thinking of me when this card came across his radar. It graded out at the show the other day. I've owned higher technical grades of this card, but this one is far and away my favorite and the keeper of all of them, due to its registration/focus. I love the colors and image on the '41 PlayBall Joe D, and how it represents his hallowed accomplishment that year. But it always seems the damn thing has ghostly halo effects around the top border line, his shoulder, his bat, and especially round the face-- rendering it so blurry. Thanks, Sean. Finally a '41 PB Joe D that I can look at without feeling like I've had a few too many cocktails-- cheers!

Awesome Joltin Joe! As you mentioned, a tough card to find centered and with the registration.

Chippin' away at my '38 Goudey Heads Up set

That Burgess card is pretty awesome. I don't look much at post war cards, but this has me pondering it.

Steve I didn't buy that one the seller had it in the scan with the Pierce. I was thinking about it though nice colors and cool looking card.

I'm sure it's still listed BIN $19.99

Arrived in today's mail.

I'm dizzy looking at that card, Brian.

tougher front back combos
 

No National for me but did pick these two up from Kevin Mize on the BST. Thanks Kevin.

Thank you, Mike.

Someday I WILL get a scanner, but thanks to fellow board member Glynn Parsons for making it possible for me to acquire a 1913-1915 Pinkerton Christy Mathewson at the National. One of just two graded by PSA, and none graded by SGC. Thanks also to Leon for his expert advice as to the likely number in existence (you guys know I like 'em RARE) and avoiding the one graded "authentic" (poor eye appeal that even the scorecard back couldn't make up for in my eyes) in favor of Glynn's much better card!

Plus, purchased a very nice, well-centered 1934 Gold Medal Flour Dizzy Dean (a set issued to commemerate the '34 World Series) in PSA 3. To me, it represents the NL's last 30 game winner in his best season (Dean was 30-7 that year, with a 2.66 ERA, and led the league in strikeouts when there weren't that many of them with, I believe, 195, in a year when the league's ERA was 4.06). Fabulous pitcher before hurting first his toe and then his shoulder when he tried to come back too soon.

Best wishes,

Larry

Only picked up a few things at National, these being the most interesting. :)

Side note, I really need to work on scanning rather than taking bad phone photos of cards...

Cheers,
Steve

And everyone told Johnny there was no real scrap at the National. Awesome cards!

ED.....
 

I did know of these, they came with a friend:)......

they ARE AWESOME! didn't think they would go, but went to a great home:)

they are very special.......these may have been concurrently printed with bl 460, beside being "no prints" and scrap, and MISSING INK:eek:

the beautiful sc 460 f #30 no overprint yellow browns......they are a special breed 'o scrap


MAJOR HAUL STEVE O

Johnny is especially happy because he knows where they ended up!

I have been
 

tracking every sc 460 y/b with Chris....they are like "lost puppies".....come to papa scrap:D

My first Cycle 350 and the Kaiser.

nice pickups Bryan!

.

Thanks Luke!

So much for my snipe.

Oops. I am truly sorry :o.

It's alright. It's not as though I'm going to run out of cards to spend my money on.

More from Jeff don't get the 2 on this Quillen at all :eek:

He's always been on my list as he played with the hitless wonders though he didn't play in the series and didn't last long.

Thanks, guys!

Mexico City Red Devil
 

Will post better scans later this week...

Mark,

Awesome RPPC of Day!!! I'm envious, to say the least. That is a great card. Best,

Kenny

Great pick-up on the Day postcard, Mark. Never seen that one before.

Gehrig and Gandil

My collecting funds are limited so anytime I am able to add a pre-war HOFer it is cause for a celebration.

I should have included these three dudes in my previous post too.

More nice ones Bryan!

It's been a great week for me. Added a bunch of nice cards for my 150-350 run with some tough backs sprinkled in, including a Jennings portrait with full names on top and bottom. Also added my new favorite card!

Cool ghost, Luke. Is that Leach?

Very nice ghost Luke. Wow.

Wow Luke, that is awesome. Congrats!

Thanks guy! It's Overall.

Bowerman
Chance (Portrait, Red)
Clarke (Pittsburg, Portrait)
Elberfeld (Portrait, New York)
Gilbert
Overall (Portrait)
Shaw (St. Louis)
Weimer
Young (Bare Hand Shows)

Picked these up at the national.

Didn't he have a park named after him?
 

Even a Cub fan can appreciate this one

Thanks again Dr. Steen!

Attachment 200009

A couple more EPDGs from my buddy Jeff. And I don't know why I bought the Konetchy, but it is such a beauty I couldn't resist. This week keeps getting better!

Sorry for the crumby picture !!

Not vintage photos, but one of the under--appreciated group of players, 1919-25 St Louis Browns outfield of Ken Williams, Baby Doll Jacobson and Jack Tobin. Going to put together some type of display(8x12 photos), not exactly sure what yet

Some recent pickups (including some from The National), the 29 Gomez and 28 Averill are upgrades...

The last one isn't anything special to non-Zeenut guys but it is a very tough card. In the 1927 checklist you will see two versions of the Ralph Shinners card, one with the normal "27" date on front and another with "1927" (which is the only card in the set like that). The "1927" is one that I had never seen before. Happy to get it.

Nice group of Zeenuts, Rhett. Ever come across the '15 Coveleski?

Ok, this is my first T206 EVER and my first effort at beginning my quest at collecting the Polar Bear backs for starters. This might be a shade lower grade than most of the rest I will buy as I go along, but I couldn't pass this up! Can't wait for it to arrive! Thanks, Luke!

Best-looking Johnson 1 I've ever seen. Does it have a back?

Nice photos. You might be able to find autographs of those three to mat with the photos

Honey Boy
 

Not the best scan, but a super cool (Ice Cream;)) card...

Yes , it has some paper loss though.

Robert....
 

Congrats!!!! great choice sir.:).....plus a partial 2 namer.....

polar bears backs are great:cool:..............

keep 'em coming!

"Some paper loss!" That's it? So because of that, your card gets the same grade as one that was run over by a monster truck in a septic tank runoff field. Congratulations to you, owner of the greatest proof I've ever seen of the adage, "Buy the card, not the holder."

That Heilmann is incredible Brian! Never seen that issue before.

Love it

Great cards everyone.

Rhett- nice pick up on the Arbuckle. One of my favorite Zeenuts for sure.
