April Pickups

[T206Collector]

I'll start it off this month -- and I'm not making an April Fool's joke here! -- I am absolutely thrilled to be adding a new signed T206 card to my collection, thanks to a trade with another collector who has his own awesome signed T206 collection going. It's nice when collecting competitors can mutually work to fill holes in each other's collections! Thanks Art! (Net54 ID: rebelsart)

Heinie Zimmermann (2x WS Champ) is the 44th unique pose in my signed T206 collection:

Just "picked up" 7-8" inches of heavy wet snow. Wished it was an April Fool's joke here in Maine.

Some guys buy a Porsche or get a young girlfriend for their midlife crisis. I prefer fishing. Caught this on the very day I turned 40.

Fantastic Cobb Orlando! Congrats!

Loved the auto'd cards as well.

A great start to April!

Received these in the mail today from a trade with a fellow member. Added 3 more to my T206 cigarette brand back run.

[Rhotchkiss]

Actually got these closing days of March, but hey. Busy (and expensive) end of the month. Thank You Johnny and Kevin!! (Fixed Pics, thanks Bryan)

Orly, I hope you live longer than 80! Nice card!

My final E121-120 Ruth

Picked up the graded Wheat Die cut. I notice my other one is a different pose.

That is a great card Orlando and the "Wagner" of Postcards. Congrats on the pickup as you probalbly won't see any more of those come up in public auction anytime soon.

Here are a couple of My April pickups which my Birthday is this month as I turn 50!

Awesome card! As a signed vintage collector myself, I am quite envious of your collection...keep it up!




Technically this one arrived yesterday, but I'll post it here. Was an impulse buy to get use of the 'Spend $50+ get 10% ebay bucks' promo they had going. Dickman (D. 81) has a great looking sig. (Not much of a career though)

[T206Collector]

Thanks! Great signed 1940 Play Ball!

Here is a piece to add to my RedSox collection!

Neal-Hooper died in 1974. When was that reprint produced?

[clydepepper]

One of the great porno names of all-time

Thanks for the response guys!

[rats60]

Here are my twins, making a dent in the t205 set.

Great cards everyone.

Here is a fringe item for me, an imperial cabinet (13" x 7 1/2") of actress Helen Dauvray, commissioner of the first World Championship trophy (the Dauvray Cup) that was first awarded to Detroit Wolverines in 1887. For a short time Helen was also the wife of HOFer John Ward.

Great Hornsby! One of my favorites, tough card and really hard to find with decent centering.

[Andrew1975]

Thanks! I've wanted to add a Hornsby to my collection for a while, and I like this image. The centering is really what caught my eye...

[Tennis13]

But I sold some stocks because I thought the stock market was overvalued and figured if I had to ride the train down on something, i wanted it to be on something I wanted to buy before I died rather than on some index-linked ETF.

The yellow Ruth is the last expensive card I need in the set my dad got me interested in during the early 1990s.

Special thanks to this board. I would have never seen this auction without someone flagging it.

Great looking card and centering! Congrats on the purchase!

Congrats! That crease looks much more pronounced in your photo than in the auction scan, but it's a killer card! Very nice indeed! And Andrew, very nice Hornsby. If I had to pick a Hornsby to own, it would be the one you have or his wildly over-priced 1917 E135 Collins McCarthy.

Nice pickup on the Hornsby. National Caramel cards are almost never found with that type of centering/even cut. Here is what you normally find with E220 cards (I'm not joking).

Would love to pick up an E135 Hornsby someday, but yeah, big $$$! There is a nice PSA 3 in the current REA auction (already sitting at $6,500).

Thanks for the comment on the Hornsby. They are definitely tough, been looking for a decent Pennock for (literally) years...

I know they're just commons but these are the first pre-war/non-Topps cards I've picked up in a long time. Have been preoccupied with postwar set building.

I enjoy adding clean commons as much as big name players from any set and at a lot less money. Same history and many times a lot more interesting. (and you gotta love the nicknames!)

Those are very nice '41 PB's. I really like the vibrant colors of that set.
