National 2016 pickups

[Snapolit1]

Thought I'd start a separate thread on 2016 national pickups. Let's see what cool stuff you grabbed. Here is the card I bought this morning. First table I wallked up to. Nothing that was even on the radar screen. Sometimes you have today wtf.....

Also grabbed this strip.

That's is for me. Anymore and the divorce papers might be flying.

Thank you, Tim Newcomb and Terry Knouse III:

Cool Brian. I saw a few Mendelsons. Need to read up and learn more about them. Gorgeous.

Love that strip with Ruth...
Someone was selling one on here months back.

Really cool card!

I went down to AC yesterday without having a current wantlist* and thinking I might end up getting nothing. But then I saw this. It's triple signed (it has an endorsement on the back) which doesn't really matter to me, but I guess is a good thing.

It's now the only autograph in my collection aside from a couple of cards I like that happen to be signed. As a Mets fan for 40+ years the Kiner's Korner Inc. (Kiner's Korner was the postgame show after Mets TV broadcasts) and Shea Stadium address were the key features. I know he must have signed a lot of checks and I'm sure it's not rare, but it's one of those things where I would be thinking "I liked that and should have gotten it" if I hadn't picked it up. So, a good impulse buy, I guess.

* Except for a Diamond Stars Ducky Medwick ... the last DS HOFer I need. I asked a good number of dealers, including some with huge databased inventories, but I remain Ducky-less.

Kiner's Corner. I would have bought that in a heartbeat. I grabbed this bizarre piece of Mets history. Frank Cashin letter about George Foster. Don't think it panned out quite so well for my Metsies.

I have a number of Ralph Kiner checks including a Kiner's Korner. I don't think that they are that rare, but definitely cool.

I wasn't planning on going but I made a last minute decision to drive down
yesterday and I'm glad I did. I had a great time chatting with Jantz
and Chris B (atx840) and briefly with Adam G (Gradedcardman) and Jamie
(Blunder19).

I picked up a Mullin PD350 and a Baker PD factory 42 for a good price.
I also found a Dygert I was looking for with an odd print mark that is
also found on a few Ganzel and Brains.

My pickups from the National. The Schaefer was from a trade with ValKehl and gives me 39 different for the set. Thanks again Val!

39! DJ, that's awesome, congrats!

[ValKehl]

DJ, great to meet and chat with you at the National. Thanks again for trading me this E92 Nadja of Jennings. I'm thrilled to add this to the back run for this Jennings pose that I recently began working on. It also serves as my type card (in lieu of Schaefer). I love it when a card serves two collecting focuses.

This was my only purchase an Al Downing 1968 Bazooka Box aside from3 auto's for my 500 HR ball. I looked at the a couple OJ HOF's but all were out of the range of my pocket. Still this one purchase at a VERY reasonable price made my show..

[BeanTown]

68 Bazooka very tough and nice pickup. Wish I would have seen it first 😊 Got these cards from various dealers.

[Jobu]

Great Exhibits!

Picked up this game set. I didn't realize it had so many HOFers in it. It seems this series comes in VG or NM condition. I was lucky to find the entire set along with the box in great shape. The story is it came from Great Grandmas desk recently found.

Would love to find a set of those that someone found in Grandma's house. Nice.

Really great pickups guys! The T3 Cobb, various Matty and Johnson items, CJ's, and that insane 'Old Hoss' OJ -- just incredible stuff.

The most unexpected thing for me to come out of the AC National was that it re-energized me to focus on Pre-War again.
I realized how much 50's/60's I'd been buying over the past year or so -- That will definitely change post-AC.
