Love the big border T206s....

Here is a cool RPPC that I am not sure I have shown before..

I've always thought this is an underappreciated set.

Waiting on a few more but thrilled with these low grade beauties

That Ruth is a beauty for a 2 grade, congrats

Thank you ! Alittle paper loss on the back corner made it a 2 ,which works for me

Bump
 

Shame that the new July pickups thread was relegated to page 2 on only July 6th.

So here's a bump.

Newly back from SGC this week. Purchased many moons ago, including the Gordie Howe in July of 1997:eek:

My first submission since SGC went to the single digit, huge font numbering

Awesome HB Heilmann. If you ever get bored of it, let me know. I just happen to be local too.

Love this place!

Fabulous Deans!!

You need to change your setting to 80 posts per thread, not 10. It is done in the USER CP (Control Panel) on the left side of your screen. Then you won't hit the second page for many more days.

Just look mid screen to your left right now, for the words USER CP. in the dark blue line..click on it then go to EDIT OPTIONS then go down to Thread Display Options and change the 10 posts per page to 80 posts per page. Then hit Save Changes at the bottom. All done.

Thanks to Bryan for pointing this one out to me on eBay. A new advertiser that wasnt on the master list and is from Pittsburgh, Pa. Whats cool about this advertiser Kaufmann is they have been in business since the 1870s!

Jay,

Sorry to disappoint, but Kaufmann's went out of business in the early 2000s. The Kaufmann's clock is still around, but the store, which became Macy's in downtown Pittsburgh, is being converted into condos and shops. The other connection to the Kaufmanns is the famous residence Fallingwater.

I see that now. Looks like at onetime they had the entire city block. Nice to see a company stay in business for as long as they did.

Cool mis-cut :) .... always nice to add another 460 EPDG ...... ;)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

T3 Red Dooin Turkey Red
 

Picked up this decent looking Red Dooin T3 Turkey Red on ebay.

Presents nicely with a tiny pin hole in the top border.

I know this won't do much for most here, but I liked it as a type.

It's my favorite card in the pickup thread so far.

+1 Very cool and interesting card!

Since I won't be buying his cards, I like this.
I think Ruth was still in the game, barelyAttachment 359009

Looks like you got the bottom of Willie Kamm's card on top, in case you were wondering.

THanks Glenn. Yes, I was wondering.

Very happy to add this to the growing Davis back run

Very nice, DJ! You are catching up with me with respect to my Jennings back run. As you know, Davis & Jennings are in the same sets. But, I don't expect to ever see, much less own, a Croft's Candy of Jennings with the red back.

Nice DJ!

Val, I hope all is well. I will miss you at chantilly - I assume you are going, but unfortunately I am not. We need to get another trade-party/get together rolling. Maybe in he fall.

Ryan, I'm still breathing and kicking, so I guess all is good! Yes, I'll be at Chantilly. I hope you will put together another collector get together - if you arrange it when the fall Chantilly Show takes place, I think you'll get the best turnout - to entice you further, I'll even bring and show you what I obtained in trade for a certain T214 card! :)

If I weren't a Pirates' fan.

GREAT colors on that Davis, DJ. Congrats.

And another nice tough card for Brian. I hope your pm box isn't full. :D

I used the $ from my Elite 11 Ewing card to help with this. It didn't last long in my paypal account.......never does!

😂

I thought this was a pretty nice looking 1.

It is good looking, great corners. Is the color faded, or is that just the photo?

I got this one in March, but couldn't post until today due to scanner and computer issues. I don't know why they're sideways. Where's Chris Browne when you need him? (Thanks Leon)

Wow!

The red is definitely light, but the colors in his face, on the jersey collar etc. don’t seem to be faded, so not sure what accounts for the light red...

Sweet Cobb back!!

Sean, Incredible “Big-Time” card, congratulations 🎉🎊

Sean, love the Ty Cobb back. Always like seeing examples of those.

Love that one, Brian!

just slightly choking up.

Holy hell that's sweet. Way outside my pay grade.

Wow!! Nice grab Sean. Congrats!!

Outside mine too. :o

Congrats Sean. Amazing card.

That's a very interesting Miller. Shame about the tear. Is there anything on the reverse?

Andrew, Scott,Andy Chuck and Dean, thank you very much. I never thought I could afford one of these, but my girlfriend told me to "go all in", so here it is. :)

Awesome Sean! I remember when you won the card, I was so happy for you - I am happy all over again seeing you have now posted it. BTW -- your girlfriend sounds like a total keeper!

Lets keep the serious card-train rolling: I picked this up last night in Mile High - I still gotta pay and receive the card, but I am too excited to wait.

Ryan, what, that's it? Nothing else to show? :D

Incredible card Ryan......congrats!

Amazing pickup Ryan - the M101-5 Ruth is one of my dream cards - congrats!

If these are phone pics, you need to make a subtle change then save it when it is in the correct position on your phone before you upload it.

Mine phone is the same way.

Very nice card! :)

Thanks Ryan, and congratulations. That's an amazing card. That's the difference between you and me: you get a Cobb Back, and two months later you can buy that Ruth: I get a Cobb Back and I have to live like a college student for the next two years.

Now excuse me, my Ramen Noodles are ready. :(

Thanks Irv, and yes, those are phone pics. I still have some learning to do, but thanks for the advice. :)

Nothing earth shattering here but things I like.

I have to say some of the above pick ups are amazing.

Ryan, you just added a major card to your collection. I can see it now, “Here comes all the different backs” Congrats Buddy

Brian L - nice Kell and Berra rookies! I love the Tip Top set, sandwiched in between WWII and the '48 Bowman sets! Lots of "earliest" cards in that set.

Oh, and I'll just pretend I didn't see the Cobb/Cobb back and Ruth rookie that were complete mic drops, which completely obliterated any chance that anyone will want to bother posting in this thread for the rest of the month. There's always next month...looking forward to the August pick-up thread already.

Not pre-war but thought the pre-war crowd might find this type card interesting. Never seen another of them. It's some kind of Dominican League issue of Matty Alou. The seller described it as being issued by an ice cream company called Poly out of Santo Domingo:

DJ, Chris, Sean and Chuck- thanks, I am real psyched.

DJ- soon.... (I hope)
Sean, Ramen fits you bc you have a beast of a collection and a great eye.

Beautiful card Ryan. Famous and Barr up next for you in Heritage.

Finally picked up one of my favorites, an E93 Cy Young:

I just went back and read this thread, and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Sean and Ryan; those two cards are incredible!!!!!

Steve

Thank you, Raymond.

Chuck,

Sorry for the delayed response. Here you go.

Thank you,

Brian Van Horn

Anyone pick up a Just So Young given we quickly moved to cards that make your head spin? Unbelievable cards, fellas.

Olympic Duke!

Thanks Steve.

"Pickups."

Anybody else ever make something like this?

Since they're in the public domain, I used the higher res images that can be downloaded from the Library of Congress collection, and then used Zazzle.

(T-shirt just got wrinkled in shipping, looks better now)

Thanks Steven and Steve.

Regarding those T Shirts, dealer Stan at Chantilly (dont know last name, but he has great taste in vintage cards) has a 1933 Goudey Lajoie T Shirt, and I complimented him on it today. Not sure I would wear it out on a Saturday night (or even a Wednesday night), but its a great shirt/concept for a card show and especially for a dealer; lets people from far away know what kind of stuff you may have at your table.

Matt, for several years Leon had net54 t-shirts made. I have one with a D304 Cobb on it.

DJ

Congrats to everyone on the very nice pickups!

I made these shirts for National last year... Sets that I collect...

Steve

Cool shirts Steve!!...No Victory Tobacco??...Jerry

Awesome Kahanamoku, John. :) I always seeing cards from outside the big four sports.

Jerry, I would look for Steve to be wearing T214 Victory and T217 Mono T-shirts at Chicago. :D

Picked up a nice Chief Meyers Paul Thompson photo for my Chief Meyers display.


Patrick

AWESOME Wagner!

Jerry and Val,

Looks like I'm going to have to step it up and make more this year!

And here I thought I could get away with wearing the same ones again... :eek:

Nice Wagner, Jay!

Matthew, nice WaJo sweatshirt!

Steve

Surely it's been considered to have a t shirt with the uncut Wagner strip on the front with a pair of scissors and on the back of the shirt it stabbed in PSA 8 :D

Is there a pic of the Wagner strip? All I've seen that I recall are pictures of the pre-Mastro Wagner already cut from the strip.

I am not aware of an image of the uncut strip if there is one it’s probably a color photocopy in some collectors archives.

I think the best way to spread the word about the current crisis in the hobby is to create a bunch of really cool T-shirts and sell them by the thousands at the national. It would not be hard to do and make a lot of money at the same time.
