you should be! A+

Love that R315 Foxx. The W517 Ruth is cool too. Nice grabs.

Thanks guys

One of the Black Sox to mark their 100 year anniversary:

Great pick ups so far- too many to mention, but especially the t206s and the Gandil Green-Joyce

These are paid for/checks in the mail, but none are in hand yet... (I can’t get the Crofts Cocoa backpic to post, but it has a clean back)

Well, this appears to be all pre-war cards but I'm going to post my weekend pickup anyhow.
Was actually picking up some junk wax when I asked if there were any other packs at a LCS. Pulled out a few including this one. Wasn't looking for vintage packs but can't pass them up when they are a good deal!! The front of the case needs a good wipe down but otherwise I'm pretty pumped!

Wow --- nice!!!!!

OMG :eek:

oops, wrong thread...

Holy, well, I don't want to cuss. But the word starts with an "f." Ryan, you're killin' me.

It appears to be all prewar because it is the prewar section. No offense meant, but there is another section all about post war cards.

Great stuff Ryan as always! LOVE the Old Mill Matty!

Unbelievable haul Ryan!!!....I agree with Ed on both counts.......Jerry

Thank you Leon!

I'm relatively new to the board, and only recently back in the hobby for the last year. My goal for 2019 has been to go full-bore on my very small but growing Chicago Cubs HOF collection. For all pre-WWII Cubs HOF'ers, my goal is to have at least one original card of each player in a Chicago uniform. I figured Cap Anson to be one of the more expensive acquisitions, and frankly have never spent this much on a single card! The rest of the collection will seem much easier to acquire after this one (with the exception of King Kelly's Chicago N172 Old Judge - that one is hard to locate).

It's been a busy few days on eBay. :eek:

Cap Anson - 1887 N28 Allen & Ginter
Jim "Hippo" Vaughn - 1916 M101-5 Sporting News
Hack Wilson - 1931 W517
Rogers Hornsby - 1931 W517

Mail day today. A HUGE thank you to Wilson. Could not have asked for a better transaction. He answered every question and package arrived quickly, safe and sound. Thank you Wilson!

Fantastic group of cards there Brandon. Congrats!

Nice pick ups Brandon, love the Anson

T206
 

Picked up these two...

Nice Ryan! Wow... love that wrong back Wagner!!

Ryan, did you forget REA opens in less than a month, or are you just getting warmed up? :eek: Love the cocoa Cobb; great pose, tough back and really tough to find in that condition.

Picked up the Hooper a while ago just never scanned it in. Just got the Brown at the Tristar show Sunday.

Todd, that Green-Joyce Gandil is my kinda card - a truly-rare, real-photo card. Congrats!

Ryan, every time I see your pickups, I think there is now way that your encores will surpass them - then, your encores usually do! Congrats! I am more and more looking forward to your second "DC area Net54 Show & Tell" that I hope and believe you are planning to organize in the not-too-distant future, because I can't wait to see your new gems up close and personal.

Thanks all for the kind words- I am total cardboard junky.

Dean, great looking HOF example (as always); Brian, awesome month so far; Brandon, looking forward to seeing more posts - Go Badgers!!

These monthly pick up threads are my favorites on the board. Great stuff fellas.

No offense taken. This thread was on the Homepage so I thought it was inclusive to all pickups.

Ryan, if you stopped right now, you would have had a great year.

Brian, those are two mice pick ups, congrats.

Dean, your 100% correct about Wilson, class act. Nice Matty...I picked up his Speaker, looks much better in hand.

Outside of Ruth and Gehrig, Exhibits still seem fairly inexpensive given the supply. On a whim bought this one.

Nice Collins, Peter. Exhibits and W517s are a very reasonable avenue for HOFers.

Agree, sweet Collins. Hes not known for a lot of attractive cards. This is one of my favorites.

Chuck, great Speaker!

+1

OT for the era, but happy with this pickup:

Skinner
 

Great pick up

Nice speaker

Darn you, Ryan! I was the underbidder on that SGC 7 Matty. Gorgeous card. Nicely done.

Triple play!
 

After a slow month in January, I have had a brisk month of February with regards to pickups. These three arrived today.

Picked up a George Gibson T205 with American Beauty back on eBay, then a Billy Sullivan from Sterling Sports Auctions, and lastly another Eddie Ainsmith T207. Weird how my pickups went in American Card Catalog order!



Patrick

Walsh Old Mill
 

Grabbed this tough front/back combo. Just love the Walsh t206 and wanted a rare Back of his issue.

Nice pickup on the Gibson AB, Patrick. I made a half-hearted attempt to pick it up on the cheap simply because they are super rare, but in the end, just drove the price up on you. Sorry about that -- had I known who I was bidding against, I'd have happily settled for only having one, and backed off.

Cheers,

Richard.

No worries Richard!
 

No worries Richard!

Figured I stole it for $41.00.

T200 Fatima Detriot team
 

Picked this up on PWCC and can't figure out why it didn't get a numerical grade.
But will fit nice into my set

This Hands on Hip Johnston finishes of my first of four planned N172 pose runs. I have the same N173 image and two variation OJ's so still a bit of work to do for the master Johnston set. This one wrapped up surprisingly quick!

Thanks Luke! My first Coupon.

Done with first 49 set!
 

Satchmo!

Zeenut
 

Could not resist this one.....

Nice Michael!

Upgrade
 

Upgraded my SGC 1 to this guy. No creases, no folds, complete opposite of my other one. Been looking for a while for a nice copy.

Thanks Ryan, you mean the T206, er I mean Coupon?

:)

That T207 Vaughn makes me want to collect T207s. Sweet card!

.

Thrilled
 

Happy early birthday present for myself, least that's the justification to the wifey.
