November Pickups

[Aaron Seefeldt]

I had posted these in REA thread but since I rec'd them yesterday, posting here too. I hope you don't mind. Last time I owned an e121 Ruth, I had 2 in nice condition. Sold them both for $500. And now, 25 years later - gulp!

A few Obaks. All but one of these previously resided in SGC 2,3, or 4 holders. They now look stellar in my binder. Love these things! I got distracted for a while, but I am back at the Obaks and am up to fifty something.

Great stuff Aaron! Love the E121!

This came today, lightning fast shipping from REA. Pretty excited about this one. Has anyone ever seen another? C. 1925-1926 RPPC. REA states it has never seen another and believes the man behind the automobile wheel to be Brother Matthias. From pictures I've seen it certainly is! Check out photo bellow I found, must have been taken same day and time of Ruth and Brother Matthias next to the automobile. The other player is Fred Merkle (smoking cigar) who was only with the Yankees those 2 years.

REA didn't name anyone else in the picture. Can anyone else confirm or have guesses as to other people in the image? Is the woman Helen Woodford Ruth? I believe it is but would like a bit more confirmation. I feel like the guy next to woman with open suit top and striped tie looks familiar but maybe not (possibly a player?)... Can anyone name the other priests, or confirm that this is likely in front of St. Marys Industrial School?

Also does anyone know of Brother Matthias being on any other card or postcard?

I've wanted a vintage photo or any type of collectible of Brother Matthias now for some time and think I may have just found one of, if not the top one!

The image quality is spectacular!

Great haul, Aaron, the E125 Collins is one terrific card. Likewise, the Matty, who looks like he recently converted to the Jewish faith.

Great pickups for everyone and looks like November might be the start of the Christmas season. Here are some early pickups. Special thanks to a board member who was willing to part with this special Otsego RPPC after having it for 37 years.

Picked up a pristine Chief Meyers BF2 from Clean Sweep Auctions.

Went to the Shriner's show yesterday. Traded off some duplicates and picked up another T204 catcher. The card was misidentified by PSA as Jiggs (John) Donahue. The card is actually Patrick Donahue, who was John's brother, and he played for the Red Sox.

I bought a T204 Donahue in an SGC holder a few years ago, and the label also identified the player, incorrectly, as Jiggs. I notified SGC, and provided some corroboration to support my claim, and they reslabbed the card for free with a corrected label. Nice card, by the way... One of my favorite sets.

Got this incredibly scarce Mexican set (you can see my other post about the Lazaro Salazar card), but the "key" cards to the set are the DiHigo and the Dandridge. Also has the only card that I know of for Bill Wright who is certainly near HOF caliber and someday could be enshrined... and some other stars like Ramon Bragana...
