April Pickups

[TobaccoKing4]

Just picked up my first McGraw earlier today. Not as impressive as some of the killer cards in this thread but I was happy to pick up a legendary HOFer and my 71st card towards the T206 set which I'm hoping to complete in the not so distant future.



(Sorry for the smudgy holder, needs to be cleaned)

I sold one of these years ago, have missed it since, got the chance to trade back into one:



Yay!

Nice pickup Adam, I saw that as well and was considering it until I realized what I spent in LOTG and what's coming up.

I've been wanting the Keefe for a long time and I was finally able to get a nice copy



I'm starting the T205 NY Giants team set. Please let me know if you have any SGC graded in the 3-5ish range.

Maxjacks: Very nice N162 and T205. I'm a Giants fan from Polo Grounds days. Some of the wags around here will say that I saw Keefe and Raymond play but it's fake truth. I collected the NYG T205s a few years back, a fun little project. [I did not collect them from cigaret packs; bought most of them off eBay].

My recent pickups have an 1887 focus. It was the year Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde was first performed on stage. It starred Richard Mansfield, who is featured on the tobacco card, cigar box and creepy framed photograph. This was also the year that Detroit won its first ever baseball championship and the year of the Tobin lithograph of Dan Brouthers. I'd say the Brouthers card is one of the most amusing cards, 19th Century or otherwise, that I've ever seen. The Mansfield inscription reads: "Your sight shall be blasted by a prodigy to stagger your unbelief of Satan."

Excellent collection! I really enjoyed seeing them all together, thanks for sharing.

Nice OB Leon. I was the underbidder in an upgrade attempt. Johnston was my first OB card I ever purchased.

Im always looking for Series 2 SGC 60+ upgrades so im very happy with this one. And a Colt to boot. Thank you David.

Love that Lajoie! I assume you were referring to the 1933 set (and not 1934, which some people attribute it to). Either way -- amazing card, with great clarity!!!

Was happy to pick up SC 350/25 versions of these. These were harder to find than I expected compared to the 350/30s.

Got these '35 Wheaties cutouts encapsulated at the Strongsville show earlier today.
Glad I did, as they really look cool in person! ...almost worth the 9 hour wait, SGC

1933. I do have some 1934 and I kind of like the 1934s a bit better, but my dad chose 1933 so 1933 it is.

Good Month. Always looking for T206 Evers and Tinker, have much to trade.

Just got these two this week. Bought the Newt Randall with Ebay bucks because I just found out he grew up and is buried in Duluth MN which is very close to where I live. Just think it is cool to have a T206 player in my local area.
