May 2009 Pickup Thread
 

Little early but thought I'd get the new board going with a pickup thread.

Bob, be sure to repost that nice green Cobby.

Picked up these nice raw 1911 Zeenuts on ebay this week;

T205 with Cycle back

Hi Steve,
I thought you already owned all of the Zeenuts on the planet....:)

Be well Brian :cool:

PS I think you are padding your post count to get a "Major Title"....:D

DeadBall - what is the qualifier from? front looks good to me.

the front looks good.

the back is off-center, I didn't mind. Even more surprising to see it with a Cycle back. I know it's not the rarest of backs, but it wasn't listed with the brand in the description.

That's a nice surpirse!

like opening a box of cracker jacks !

WOW!

Jeff - you going to pay for that one?

LOL I'm standing in line behind the last four winners of Tip Top Wagners...so that's a definitely maybe.

that is a nice Wagner !!! Congrats

That is a funny looking Cobb card.

Well, that's true. And I bought it on the off chance one of you guys will put a post up in the BST looking for Wagner cards!

That's a nice piece of Cobb trade bait!

Great card Jeff.

It's a bit rough, but the image is outstanding!

I don't like Lichtman.
:mad:

I think Jeff should hold onto that Wagner card...it's a beauty and there aren't too many Cobb cards out there that compare (maybe a couple).

Joe: Nobody does.

Screw you guys...I'm going...home.

Awesome Rob!

I was hoping that one went to you.

(or me :))

I think a lot of potential bidders weren't aware that that's Ty Cobb in the back row, far right.

(BTW: Always looking to trade for Boston Garter cards.)

Ha! I thought it might be Cobb hiding in the shadows...but I measured the ears up and they were about 4 inches off. My margin of error on Cobb ears is 3 inches so I decided not to bid.

That's not too far off - Ty Cobb in a Cleveland uniform in a team picture has happened...

Jeff
 

I know I for one am just happy that your very best card came from your very favorite company. Oh the irony.....

But this is a new company with a new business plan.

Wait -- are you telling me that Legendary Auctions has something to do with Mastro?

When your package comes in the mail, check out the shipping tape. That should go a long way in determining if they are related.

Doug - tough card - congrats!

Amazing Speaker, Jeff!!!

Pssst, Jeff, those aren't Cobbs.

Yes, I was in a lull. The lull did not last long.

Hey, I'm just glad you've hopped off the Lajoie train.

here I was feeling compelled to help Jeff out of an apparent lull.

glad to see he snapped out of it on his own.

Joe, I blame the entire spasm of spending on you. Honestly, you made me do it.

Those are the nicest Pittsburg Cobb and Boston Cobb I have ever seen.

All kidding aside, great cards.

A few new ones for me over the past couple/three weeks..... It's been a real good stretch for me...

4 to go
 

Magie is next.

Nice green Cobb!

Love the CJs!

latest pick-up
 

i picked this one up on eBay a few weeks ago. It was either this one or the REA SGC Plank e95. I thought the eBay would be better value, but both ended around the same price. Both were bargains!

Thanks to Bob C

At long last...
 

I've been needing a B/W E97 for years and finally picked one up last night at Heritage. I've managed to snag a lot of great stuff from them lately at really good prices. Another toughie crossed off my list...

<a href="http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj16/sesop/?action=view&current=lf.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj16/sesop/lf.jpg" border="0" alt="E97 Austin"></a>

Congrats on the E97! FYI - you don't need to both embed the image and attach it. Either one by itself will allow everyone to see it full size.

Thanks Doug. In the REA thread I posted the other new pickups this week, the 1955 Bowman complete set and also the E94 Young, Bates, Lobert, Cicotte and Evers. The gold background Young cost an arm and a leg but it's the first gold color variation of Young I've seen so I had to have it. :)

Sweet cards too! Lots of great stuff this month everybody!

Because of the ability to have limited posts per page (which will avoid the slow loading issue of a 100 post thread) and also because we're not using a host anymore that loses the images after 2 weeks, I thought maybe we could try having just 1 pickup thread per month. :eek:

hey jeff, trade you my cobb + car+boat+ whatever, whaddaya say pal:D...very very nice, a gem for sure...
