May Pickup Thread

[Kawika]

Allow me the privilege of starting the monthly pickup thread.

Recent goodies from eBay (N184 from Jay @BST), presently on their way to SGC for embalming:





Spoils of recent Heritage and Memory Lane auctions, not yet in hand.




Linen backed folded diptych of 8x10 Harry M. Stevens photos of Yankee Stadium outfield advertising (1939):


I hope to add a killer or three tomorrow. Good luck to all of you in the big auction today.

David:

I really like the Minoso card, never seen that one before.

[tbob]

Glad to get this as an upgrade. Having collected the M116 Sporting Life set card by card, I can say that this is arguably the toughest card in the set.

Thanks to Baggers for these great cards!

[lharri3600]

[Epps]

Nice pickup on the Goostree. Beautiful card. I was the underbidder.

[SethY]

Got this from the Clean Sweet Auctions store.

I just received these among other Cubans today. I finally added some Cabanas' to the collection.

[DixieBaseball]

Finally checked this toughie of my list after several years of looking... Thanks to a board member !

Also, scored this superb condition unused PC on Ebay, come to find out the seller lives 5 miles from my home, and owns a local antique shop. (Of course I saved on shipping and picked the item up next day!)

P.S. David - Nice Goose !!

[obcmac]

One tough one down!

[BlueDevil89]

Those are some beauties, Larry. Here are a couple that I picked up...

[lharri3600]

[deadballera]

[thegashousegang]

and a 1936 Exhibits for me -

[smtjoy]

Nice exhibits guys

[Jim VB]

I really wanted this in a 3 or a 4, but the price didn't seem too bad on this one. It's probably the nicest card in my 1933 Goudey set, however.

[fkm_bky]

Let me follow that Nap with something much less impressive but something I have been looking for, so others have time to put their tongues back in their mouths...helluva card Jim!

That's fantastic. And it matches your avatar nicely.

[Epps]

Awesome Lajoie. That is an amazing card and congratulations.

(Rob D., your Joss kudos are in JP's BST Demmitt thread).

[Bicem]

[wonkaticket]

Jim wow simply wow!

[jb217676]

Jim! That card is...uhh...hmmm...INSANE!!! A most stellar pick-up indeed!
Here's what I got today. Thanks to Ron for the Jennings and thanks again to Larry for the Beaumont and Donlin!

[scooter729]

Mr. Mailman was nice to me yesterday with this one...

[wonkaticket]

I'm sure you all are tired of hearing/seeing this card but for me it's one more mark on the checklist that's been in my pocket since I was a kid.

Cheers,

John

I, for one, love the Plankenstein!

[rc4157]

Jim - Very nice addition with the Lajoie, congrats!

John - I don't think anyone will complain about viewing your Plank.

John, I do love that card and have been looking for one like that for a long time. I'll give you 26K for it right now, no questions asked.

[buymycards]

I never get tired of looking at LaJoie and Plank. Thanks for sharing.

28k! Slap that baby on Ebay!

[wonkaticket]

That's it you guys are jerks that's why I'm leaving this hobby because of jagoffs like you guys...all of my collection now in the BST.

[JP]

I thought my daughter Abby was going to end up in the April pickup thread. She came six days late, so she ends up in the May one instead. Born at a little after noon today...only a 40 minute delivery. Easily my best pickup in a long time...

[Jantz]

JP

Congratulations!

Jantz

[teetwoohsix]

[teetwoohsix]

Clayton

[tbob]

Wow. That Lajoie and Plank are incredible. Congrats Jim and John, the rest of us can only drool

[calvindog]

[Rob D.]

That Ruth will be a nice filler until you're able to upgrade, Jeff.

[ullmandds]

wow...that d304 chase is nice...but a vg? I never realized the magnitude of PSA's generosity until recently...sheesh!

[calvindog]

It's funny that you say that -- it's my alltime favorite card now. And it's for sale.

Wait, did I do that in the right order?

Pete, I agree completely. Bizarre grade and it gets even more bizarre when you consider this:

[rc4157]

Congratulations JP!

A few off the BST, not mint I know, but fits my collection. Now at 201/240
