April Pickups
I'll start it off this month -- and I'm not making an April Fool's joke here! -- I am absolutely thrilled to be adding a new signed T206 card to my collection, thanks to a trade with another collector who has his own awesome signed T206 collection going. It's nice when collecting competitors can mutually work to fill holes in each other's collections! Thanks Art! (Net54 ID: rebelsart)
Heinie Zimmermann (2x WS Champ) is the 44th unique pose in my signed T206 collection: <img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3782/33729098055_21e35a1255_b.jpg" width="640" height="1024" alt="Zimmermann_Auto_SGC"></a> |
Wished it was an April Fool's Joke
Just "picked up" 7-8" inches of heavy wet snow. Wished it was an April Fool's joke here in Maine.

Some guys buy a Porsche or get a young girlfriend for their midlife crisis. I prefer fishing. Caught this on the very day I turned 40.

Awesome card! As a signed vintage collector myself, I am quite envious of your collection...keep it up! :) Technically this one arrived yesterday, but I'll post it here. Was an impulse buy to get use of the 'Spend $50+ get 10% ebay bucks' promo they had going. Dickman (D. 81) has a great looking sig. (Not much of a career though) http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...psm78eiu6j.jpg |
Thanks! Great signed 1940 Play Ball!

I saw this kind of chucked in the back corner of a showcase. At $35, I thought it was a bargain. Reasonably tough issue and a hall of famer to book albeit a football hall of famer.

From 1920's game by National Game Makers of Wash, DC Game: "Major League Ball--The Indoor BB Game Supreme" Fourteen die-cut player cards used for each team All 16 teams represented; roster varied each year Generic player position poses repeated for each team Same pose for each position; coloring keyed to team So I wouldn't try taking the paper off of them as it will most likely be blank underneath. |

Actually there could be printing from the initial 1921 printing or perhaps a "sticker" from a prior year (or blank). Ironically, neither of Kenny's two Zach Wheat's depict the left fielder from the game.

Kenny, here's a pic of my complete sheet of the Washington Senators team. Most likely, it was issued in 1921, as 1921 was the last year that Jose Acosta and Frank O'Rourke played for the Senators, and 1921 was the first year for Goose Goslin and George Mogridge.

Hey Val, that Joe Judge would look good in my collection. Think you could poke it out and sell it to me?-- I think those pieces go for $30-40 or so each.
Appreciate it. |

Would you also like me to sell you this Joe Judge card that I picked up in the LOTG auction? |
Sure! I bid on that Gertenrich until it started to leave my budget (i.e. pretty early). I thought the card looks nicer than the grade, but that can be said for all Joe Judge cards :).
I suppose I've got no shot on the Holland Creameries Joe Judge coming up in REA? |
Quote:
I do have all of the Hollands cards, except the near impossible Peckinpaugh, but the majority are in pathetic condition, including Judge. I have been slowly upgrading my Hollands, as my budget will allow. Whether I go after the Judge example in REA depends what other goodies in REA appeal to me more. Val |
The Hooper signed Cracker Reprint card was produced by TCMA back in 1972.

Here are a couple of My April pickups which my Birthday is this month as I turn 50! |

Beautiful pickups, Cobbzilla is amazing. |

I agree, the Gertenrich cards are tough to find w/o paper loss on the back - ditto for the Holmes to Homes cards. And, I'm anal about not having paper loss on the backs of my type cards that have neat ads on the backs. Val |
