August pickups

[njdunkin1]

Went in as a fresh and new National-ie. The sights (1.2million dollar cards afoot), sounds (lots of chatting and sports talk), and even smells (cafeteria food and body odor) made it all a fantastic experience.

I asked every dealer I saw with vintage if they had any Johnny Klings. I would say at least 49 out of every 50 tables said they had none, because the only two folks who had Klings, I bought from! :].

First is the 2.5--got a very generous deal on this from the dealer. I am very happy with the corners on this card and overall appeal--doesn't get much better for a 2.5!



This one was a duplicate, but I couldn't pass it up for the price:



This makes 7 (I think) for the Kling back run, with a few more possibly on the way over the course of the next week.

Thanks! It all depends on the amount of glue on the cards. I would hate to remove something that's been there 100 years.

August is off to a great start. Nice pick ups guys.

Greg - That Gehrig painting is way cool!

[jbl79]

I agree with Dean, that's a very cool painting. Makes me think what a Diamond Stars Gehrig would've looked like.

Are these pictures showing up for anyone else? I'm guessing they were the scrapbook pages that were for sale on eBay. Was wondering who got them; did you have any inside information (based on the player selection) that there have to be some rare backs?

I was only able to see a couple backs and they were Sweet Caporal. The cards are in rather nice shape but they used an awful lot of glue edge to edge. There going to make nice displays.

I have also been having problems with pictures. If you right click on the little bar thing or the broken picture symbol you can see them on a new page once you log in again. I just figure it is some new software that makes people log in again to make it look like there are more people logging in than there really is.

I don't know the going rate for the Kling raw, but it's nice to see that there are some oldies at the national that are affordable. It gives me hope!

Still chipping away on the entire T210 set, at least I am only one orange border away from that subset.
Thanks to Sterling Auctions (Lee B.) for making these available. Tough to find in any condition.

Nice pickups TBob and at some great prices. Congrats on being so close to completion on the OB set!
