March Pickups...

[JustinD]

I don't usually post in the pickup threads, but I want to start March with a thank you to Bryan (Jobu) for pointing out this one that arrived today and has been on my want list for a long time. I likely overpaid, but with these only coming up in what seems like 18 month gaps and missing the last few...I could care less.

[Jason]

Happy with this one. I missed out on a low grade one that the Detroit Pawn guys sold on eBay last year. This one fits my collection to a "T" and is proof another will come along eventually!

[VintageBen]

I am one happy camper!!!!

I sent out a message on bst for a nicely centered e90-1 Cobb with good color and image. I thought I would get no response because these cards are so tough to find centered. Not only did a member respond with the perfect card, but it is the very card I had been angry that I missed on REA. Thank god for n54.

[mybuddyinc]

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As they say --- March comes in like a LION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great, Scott

[jbl79]

Great looking Cobb's Ben and Orlando! Congrats!

Awesome Cobb, Orlando. By the way, I sent a pm saying the same thing but autocorrect turns Cobbs into Cons when I hit send. Stupid spellcheck.

Picked up this T207 Erwin that lacks the normal red cheeks.

Nice. I picked a raw example last month.

Actually my comment on your pickup caused Bryan to point this auction out to me.

It all worked in a perfect circle.

Good start to March!

Crossed of another T209-2 Richmond card. Check out the 1910 D league Third Base Line

Still looking for 5 T209 Richmond Colts if anyone feels like being a hero pm me!

[h2oya311]

Some new mid-tier backs. All but one are from board members, including another epic trade with Scott. I wish more people on here wanted to trade. Thanks guys!

Derek,

Congratulations on picking up the Sewell rookie.

[garymc]

I am a wood artist and recently I decided to sell some of my old vintage tools. I got the money and bought some cards for my Highlander/Yankee team type collection. Last two days I have looking out the window waiting for my Postman. I'm very happy today.....

[JoeDfan]

Got these three Old Mill cards from another member of the board (thanks Ben!) and I absolutely LOVE them!

I think I am starting to get hooked on these little tiny cards. I am up to three of these, two T206, three M116, and one Old Judge.

[scotty21690]

And here is them all together:





10/13 (Still need: Carrigan, Wagner [left sh], & Kleinow [Boston])

Nice Steinbach card. I know Ben had two but he is a tough one in Series 7. He is just a hoarder lol

Thanks!
I am sitting here, doing homework, and my Steinbach is on the table right in front of me! I think he is my favorite. That is, until Ben talks me into buying more of them! Lol.

Having fun on the board and excited to add to my Oklahoma rookie collection. Thanks Ian!

Great Hubbell rookie! Hard to find one that nicely centered! Congrats!

[KMayUSA6060]

I didn't acquire the entire Cleveland commons subset in February/March, but I did receive the last one I needed (Terry Turner) in March. I also knocked off 2 more T206 HoFers that I got for steals of deals, and the eBay seller was so nice I wanted to throw him a bone and buy 2 more of his auctions. Got the '62 Cassady (Go Browns; I know, I know, y'all are sorry for me) and a nice Boggs RC for my HoF PC. Hopefully my next March pickup is the house we're waiting to close on...

[wolfdogg]

Always liked this image of Hornsby. Finally snagged one. "Series of 80" Back

[edjs]

I was surprised to be the initial bidder the day the auction opened, and win it with the one bid. I know the ink on the back should have resulted in a MK designation, but still, a really nice O'Hara, as far as I can see.

I miss "Karl" already!!! But I know it's found a happy home, glad you got it safely. Enjoy Scott and all the best in your continuing OK player hunt.

[yanksfan09]

Recently added this Cobb

[scotty21690]

Love the image on that one..

[yanksfan09]

Thanks Scott

[edjs]

No one seemed to notice my O'Hara earlier, so I will see if this gets a response. Six down, 33 to go, what do I mean by this statement? (for the advanced T210 collectors)

[orly57]

Once again, a prayer is answered on the BST. In this case, two prayers. The 1908 Brush Ty Cobb (mislabeled 1910) and the Max Stein. Each of these cards have a known graded population of 5. The Brush is best known specimen. The Max Stein would be graded higher were it not for two small holes on top from a removed staple. Needless to say, I am thrilled.

[arcadekrazy]

Nice cobbs...Really nice Cobbs

[BeanTown]

Looks like Mr. Ty Cobb is getting a lot of love in March! Many great pickups so far ranging from Old Judges to Postcards. Congrats to all including Orlando for having his Prayer answered.

I was going to guess players on teams in Tennessee. Then looked and that would leave you with 35.

I am just a amateur T210 collector, good luck on your quest.

Ben, you are no amateur. I now have 6 of the 39 series eight cards that are not in the T211 set, which are possibly the toughest 39 in that series (like the Birmingham and Memphis cards). I was just seeing if I could get any response to one of my posts. Like the O'Hara I posted, I post cards that are a big deal to me, and often get no response. It makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong? Anyway, I'm glad someone sees my cards, thanks!

This is an awesome site but unless you are posting a very expensive card it rarely gets any response in the monthly show off threads.

I am having enough trouble finding beaters in my price range in the T210's that I have not attempted any of the T211 cards.

Ben, I thought we were a group of collectors who shared a love for cards. Isn't this the place to share recent acquisitions regardless of price? I view it as a place that I can share my excitement with the only people on earth who would understand. To call it "showing off" is disrespectful and Presumptuous. I personally don't need to "show off" a damn thing. And since I didn't print the card, am not related to Ty Cobb, and did not cure Polio, I am not sure what there would be to show off about. I am sharing my excitement with the only people who will appreciate it since my wife, kids, and friends don't. I have always liked your posts, and you seem like a decent guy, but that is out of line.

Nice cards Ed and I liked the O'Hara too when you posted it. I was lazy with my bidding on the Miller and missed out. Im glad it went to a fellow board member.

[edjs]

Guys,

You both are really good guys on here. I don't think Ben was aiming at you, Orly, or your beautiful Cobbs. It was just a response to me. I think we have enough strife on other threads, and I was not trying to make any kind of statement one way or the other. I really was just curious if anyone read anything I write, because I rarely get any kind of response. Both of you are top notch guys that appreciate the cards, price be darned. I value the contributions of both you guys. Sorry if my comment got things off track here, and I hope we can all be friendly with our discourses. Let's all have a fun day, I hope?

Ed

Thanks, Jason, I was stoked to get them. That O'Hara is just puzzling me. When a card sells on my one bid, way under what I thought it would sell for, I always wonder if there is something I am missing. Then, I post it here, and start thinking by the silence, people don't want to tell me that I got suckered by my purchase. Anyway, enough of me for a while.

I was just stating a fact that high priced and high graded cards get all the replies. The lower end stuff is just as nice to see but rarely get any replies. This has been brought up many times before. It was not meant to be derogatory against anybody.

3 new T206 Evers, Chicago Shirt, to add to my back run effort, which already includes a Red Hindu and Broad Leaf 350 (sorry for teh busted pic). Please email or text me if you have any Evers or Tinker (bat offs) for sale or trade.

[Luke]

Nice Evers' Ryan!

And that O'Hara is awesome Ed!

Seems like you are starting with the tough ones and working backwards! Great subject for a back run. I only have the Piedmont, but I bought it from Dr. Frank, so I like it a lot.

When I post here I like to post my best as well, but tend not to get much response. Here is a recent pick-up...do you think it is more valuable because it measures tall and has a wide white gap in the middle?

Awesome Dahlen!!!!

[t206fix]

I picked this up in Feb., but just getting around to posting it now. Not sure what happened to it - some type of art deco creation. It looks like someone painted a blue rectangle around the back of Moses, then used white paint to outline him. Finally, they used a red pen to make Xs all around his silhouette. Also, they glued his name on a piece of paper that is partially covered. In hand, it's actually pretty cool to look at! Any info on what/why this is what it is would be appreciated!
