February Pickups
 

Surprised that a February Pickup thread hadn't been started, so here we go:

Picked up a nice looking Red Dooin T206 off of eBay from Brad P., and a Real Picture Post Card of a young catcher.

Two new members to my 1906 Cleveland Souvenir team.

Nice pickups JC!
 

JC,

Very nice pickups on the Cleveland PCs.

Patrick

A dream of mine is to upgrade all my complete Series 2 set T210's into SGC 80's:D

Here is to getting one step closer. Thanks David.

E94s
 

An upgrade for my set...

Nice E94s Steven...love that set.....gold ones especially....Jerry

Jason, that is one gorgeous T210! Not that I have any, but I love looking at high-grade T210s that don't have all the chipping along the red borders that mine have.
Val

Thanks Val. I love looking at any Red Border cards! I just prefer my Virginia League ones in high grade. Guilty pleasure!

Been looking a long time for this one!

VERY nice, Dave. Congrats!

My first Cravats pennant.

Some 1913 Zs.....

No wonder why I lost out on that horizontal and Leard......:D. I wonder who got the other horizontal?

My first T209.

Contentnea
 

I was the under bidder on that one. Congrats on your first!

A good start of the month ..... :)

Got to highlight spit baller Bugs Raymond. A tragic alcoholic. The only one that could somewhat contain him was McGraw. That ended when McGraw sent him to warm up in bullpen one game, and Raymond went to a bar instead !!! Bugs was dead at 30 from brain hemorrhages suffered from many bar fights.

Two great quotes on Raymond:

"That man took seven years off my life." -- John McGraw

"They used to say he didn't spit on the ball; he blew his breath on it and the ball came up drunk." -- Rube Marquard


Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Dave, that's a beauty of a Mayo Delahanty. Do you know why it's an A?

Congrats regardless!

Thank you very much. I think some one touched up the black.

Been talking about these on ANOTHER thread, but why the hell not...

HOPEFULLY, they come back from PSA with numbers...

Had been looking for a PSA 3 for over a year. Strangely there doesn't seem to be too many of these for sale relative to other grades. Last one sold in Jan of 2016. Was happy to pick it up for the price.

1910 Ostdiek Obak with "No Paste Used" back
 

Picked this nice 1910 Ostdiek Obak with a "No Paste Used" back in the recent Sterling Sports Auction. Had as 1911 Ostdiek but not the 1910. The back is a new back for me as well. I have 22 different backs in the 1910 set from just collecting catchers.

Thanks Lee!

Patrick

Nice to find some local things
 

Sweet Caporal Pins

Very nice pickup.

Sweet Miller S.F. man! Nice find on that one.

AndyH

He manages to find all of the Miller, S.F.s. I admire his dedication.

Thanks, guys; they're getting harder to find, but I'm still looking.

Beautiful Miller 1910 Obak
 

Whaler,

Nice pickup on the Miller 1910 Obak.

We haven't seen a picture of your hoard of Miller Obaks in a while. For new members, you might want to let them know that you are related to the player.

Congrats!

Patrick

Very nice. My only Obak (a 1911) is an SGC 3. Very underappreciated set in my opinion.

Thanks to fellow member ncinin for a great transaction that got me this E98 Cobb greeny
