I don't believe I showed this one in a pick up thread, but if so, here it is again...

Fantasic card Leon!!! :eek::eek::eek:

.

Both arrived in June, but been swamped of late, so haven't been on board much. Psyched to add this Wags from a board member (thanks Paul!). Been wanting the E90-1 ever since my mobile eBay locked up, preventing a last second snipe a few years ago.

Been watching the Matty and couldn't pass on this auction go round, which timed well with a 4x bid bucks promotion.

Nice pick ups Ian. Great eye appeal on both. I still haven't been able to figure out PSA and their usage of those Mylar sleeves. That Wagner doesn't look like it needs one yet they used it anyway.

Late June/Early July
 

Cobb and Browne Washington

Mustache Man and the Kid

Nice cards Ian!

Matt, nice pick-ups. :)

Fat/phat scrap.

Now THAT is a color shift. :eek:

Nice! Gives him some sweet sideburns

Nice card Sean!

How about a shot of the back please?


Thanks

Sean....

BEAUTIFUL SCRAP

Amazing card Sean!

Here's a sweet C.1910 Detroit Tigers Schedule from the BST. Thanks Joe, it looks fantastic!

Your Welcome Ian!! Wags looks like he's in good hands!! Just got this Matty in the mail. I've been looking for one this nice for a long time!!

So the one on the left needed a roommate.

Start humming the odd couple theme now.

Glad you like it, had it for a long time.

Thanks for the comments guys and beautiful Matty Paul, congrats on finding a nice one! Oddly, I eyed and eventually bought mine in anticipation of trading you my SGC40. Seems we both made out OK in the end.

Beautiful!

Yes it does. I really wasn't planning on going after one so nice yet but you only live once. Right?? Plus, I haven't seen a matty portrait this nice up for auction in a couple of years.

Nice Clymer Sean (and nice pickups everyone else).

That card is interesting to me because it shows that there were two shades of blue applied to darken it up. I always assumed that the dark blue cards were 1 blue layer and 1 gray layer. Yet further evidence that the six-color litho process really had more layers - off the top of my head I know gray, as seen in some ghosts, rose as I have seen in color shifts and missing red cards, and now apparently a second layer of blue on some (unless this card was just run through on the blue run twice by mistake).

CJ Wagner
 

I just got this one in the mail today. I've been wanting to add a nice CJ for a while now.

excellent points BRYAN!:confused:

Clymer is another "piece" in the puzzle.....these scraps are the key to it all

Damn Jesse! Nice Wags!

Thanks Bryan. I love that Matty that Paul posted. Beautiful card!

June/July
 

R300 Type 2, Tarzan Bread and getting close on CJ set.

This Wagner completes my E95 set. Thanks, Eric, for an excellent transaction!

Just picked up this tough Cuban League card, 1948-49 El Indio Hank Thompson. Thanks, Joe.............

Congrats! You should post a thread with your complete set.

Well done sir.....congratulations!

Thanks Daryl. Much appreciated. I'm really pleased about completing this set but I doubt that there would be enough interest to start a thread about it. Here are a few of the others. They present well, but have minor back damage.

Great one Greg. I'm glad to see someone else who really worries about condition...although I probably couldn't afford most of what you get.

Bought these off the BST - thank you Joe

E90-1 Red Dooin American Caramel
 

Picked up this sharp Red Dooin for E90-1 from David Bryan.

Bryan, here's an Oldring card where you can see the two layers of blue. The light blue was applied first, then the dark blue. In this case the dark blue shifted slightly to the right.

This question was of interest to me because I always wondered how the light blue Plank came about. This was how it was explained to me. They simply missed the dark blue pass, then scrapped the card.

Just upgraded my Joe Tinker for my Cubs m116 master set
Attachment 196730

Wanted!
 

Keep an eye open for Doc Williams, who is wanted for arrest in Hollister for forging checks. He is of the hobo type, prefers his whiskey straight, smokes a pipe, and enjoys saloons and basket making. His right arm is slight crooked and stiff at the elbow as a result of a pitching injury while a ball player in the east and in California, he claims. $20 reward.

Dave,
I am glad it found a new home. Hope you enjoy it

Great card! However, I always thought he resembled the blue guy from the lollipop guild...

Just picked up an MP & Co. Bobby Feller. Trying to upload and attachment, so we'll see if it works.

The Weissmuller is great, Tom!!

Picked up two Pirates for my team set.


And here they are in a display case that I've been making for myself. If anyone is interested, they can be made to your needs....you can PM me or check out http://www.collectorfocus.com/collec...om-my-woodshop

Highest graded one with Turkey Red ad. Not as colorful as many but I sort of like the washed out look, sort of goes with him. Love the fence in back...

Nice cards everyone!!
 

I always enjoy looking at what everyone picked up, some awesome cards everyone!

Here are three of my favorite pickups this month. Thanks to fellow Net54'er, Brian, for the t200.

My first t200 and Thorpe card.

My first Ruth, my favorite Ruth, and likely the only Ruth I will own. Been waiting for the right one.....

Classic image of Double XX...

Nice looking first OJ Jeff.

Very nice!

E100s are really tough to find, so finding them in any condition, especially at a decent price, is always a welcome sight.

Fantastic image! Congrats.

Thank you Steven. I love the history and look of the OJ's, but my focus on T206 has not given me the opportunity to get one until a recent auction. I threw a max bid of $120 + $12BP, I didn't think I'd win it, but lo and behold :)

Jeff, congrats on the Ruth, looks great. I'm always looking for an affordable Ruth to add to my collection, nice job!

Very happy to add around 70% of a very tough to find f/b combo (the Brown on the right).

Added a slightly random card. 1916 Indianapolis Brewing Co. of Dave Robertson.

Just what I need with Pittsburgh weather.....a good umbrella!

Hi Brian,
Nice pickup of the W504s of the Senators players. FYI, I intended to bid on this eBay lot just before it ended, but after leaving the Chantilly Show when it ended at 8 p.m., I went to get something to eat and forgot all about this eBay lot ending tonight until it was too late. One of these days, I just gotta subscribe to a sniping service!! If I hadn't forgotten, it would have cost you more $$ to win this lot! :)
Best,
Val

Nice pick up Brian! Some of those are unknown to Old cardboards checklist.

I've been very bad at scanning and posting my pickups. Here are May, June, and July pickups for your enjoyment. All from some great Net54 Members!!

Jeff, nice first OJ at a great price. The 1887 Brooklyn cards are kind of neat due to being actual outdoor shots.

Steven, nice N173 of Buckenberger, a great cabinet for your collection. Are you now collecting outside of Ohio teams (based on your other N172 pick-ups)?
