June pickups.

[Brian Van Horn]

I actually forgot this was June 1. This is what I get for staying up until 3:00 a.m.

Brian, a post with a comment? Why, how wordy of you. If knew staying up until 3:00 am got me a card, I would do it more often. Nice.

Thanks....I can't seem to get type cards out of my system.

Actually I had two reasons for staying up until 3:00 a.m. One was celebrating a Penguins win in the Stanley Cup Finals without catfish. The other one may be posted later. Working out details.

Cool cards guys.

Is that actually Merkle, or did they picture Schaefer by accident?

[Leon]

It is Schaefer listed as Merkle.....

The price guides list it as "Merkle. J=K. LOL."

[garymc]

I too got this last night. I've been waiting a long time for one that I could afford.

[Jobu]

I think we should refer to this card as J=K's Boner.

For those that don't get my reference (because the best jokes have to be explained, right?):

Picked this up on Clean Sweep last night. Only two examples of this card have been graded. The other one was posted recently by Jeff in another string.

May be the best portrait of Cobb ever.

I posted the cabinet since I got it at the end of May. But the Harpers came today and was happy to see it was the full sheet and not just the cut out of the team.

[mybuddyinc]

Picked up a few nice additions to my back set, but this one has to be presented separately.

It may not be to pretty, but Hunter with a non-SC/Pied. back is very, very tough, indeed......................
It is probably one of the toughest cards that I own or will own, imo ....................

I actually thought this might have been a card that I would never get ........................

Great, Scott

Hey Brad - love that Cabinet!! If you ever want to part with it...you now know where to find me!


Oh - and Orlando, nice addition to your Cobb postcard collection. It must be the nicest collection of Cobb PCs in existence!!

Interesting. Schaefer only played for one New York team and that was in 1916 for the Yankees. Nice uniform overlap.

[orly57]

Thanks Derek. I appreciate the kind words, but Jeff Lichtmann (Calvindog) and Jim Clarke (Beantown) share that distinction. I am trying though!

[yanksfan09]

Amazing Cobb Orlando! Congrats and enjoy it!

Here's a recent Cracker Jack upgrade, yep it's an upgrade! I'm trying too!

[Vintagecatcher]

Erick,

Nice looking Cady Cracker Jack!

Patrick

[rainier2004]

Very nice Erick.

[Stonepony]

Arrived today. Really happy with this addition

Dave, as a distant underbidder on that Cobb, I say congratulations on a great card.

You should be, great looking card!

[orly57]

Dave, that is gorgeous. Fantastic card!

Erick, that doesn't look like a 1.5. Presents beautifully.

[Stonepony]

Thank you guys

[rhettyeakley]

Pretty excited to have the opportunity to pick up one of the cards on the "bucket list", Don't think I have seen another example in over a decade or so, so despite the lower grade I'll take what I can get.

1918 Zeenut Lefty O'Doul (notice he was a pitcher then).

[BeanTown]

All great pickups guys and how can you go wrong with Cobb or Anson. Orlando, you are a machine and born again hard! Just a year ago how many postcards did you own? Love the DFP image.

I just got this little grouping in from a long time board member and many thanks go out to him. The baseball/boxer cards are amongst the rarest cards from the 20s, along with the plain background Exhibits.

[BeanTown]

lucky to snag this little run of Sporting Life papers. I've always thought papers have been under valued, but that seems to be changing. Midweek Pictorials and Police Gazettes are also nice papers from close to the same time period.

That is great!! Wonderful looking Cobb, Dave.

Orlando- your cobby is off the charts. I agree, one of his best mug shots.

JC - you are a machine...

The rest of you guys- You are killing me Love the cards so far on Day 2 of the m month!! Keep 'em coming...

[Bicem]

Great Cobby O, congrats!

Thank Kevin!

[BeanTown]

This pin popped up on eBay so I snagged it. I think it's the 1909 (not 1910) Morton Buster Brown pin. Agree with Kevin that's it's one of his best images.

[edjs]

Orly, love that Cobb postcard.

Rhett, how do you find all the diamonds in the rough? That is a great pick up!

[orly57]

Thanks guys. The one Jc just posted is actually my card when it sat in an sgc holder.

Thank you, Matt.

[pokerplyr80]

This one just arrived today. Pictured next to a recent Mantle pickup for perspective in case anyone doesn't know how big these cards are.

Edit: I still can't figure out how to keep these cell phone pics from posting sideways.

[iowadoc77]

Jesse-
Great Cobb! Love that pose! Congrats

[Vintagecatcher]

Nice Cobb!

Patrick

[pokerplyr80]

Thanks guys, and thanks to Patrick for fixing the picture. I showed the card to my father in law who doesn't know much about cards and he asked me if it's over 100 years old why is his uniform so clean? I wasn't quite sure how to respond.
