American on Japanese card
 

Hi: I am pretty sure the American is Jim Baumer. He played in Japan in the early 60's. See:

National Pick-ups
 

My first Cobb T202

Not sure why i bought this. Seemed like a really nice card for the grade and thought the price was good. My first and only Cracker Jack

Fred,

Thank You. Yes, it is Jim Baumer. I was able to confirm it through another source. I appreciate your help.

Rob: Great pickup on the E107 Nap.

I picked up a pair of 1920s-1930s Sociedade Industrial dos Tabacos de Angola cards, one of Rabbit Maranville and one with a wrong back but depicting an American player I need some help to ID. I will scan and post tomorrow. I know these have come up in a thread or two in the past but does anyone have any more info on them, like a checklist [any WTI owners out there]? I'd really like to ID that player #108.

Also got a 1929 A's premium from a soda mfg. with Grove, Simmons, Foxx, Cochrane, etc. on it. I'll scan and post that one too.

Great stuff as always Jeff, where did you find the Chance?

Wow Tony. Those look awesome.

Congrats Mike. That t202 of Evers, Tinker and Chance is one of my favorite cards in all of vintage baseball, and that one is a beauty.

Such a great weekend, was a fantastic Nat'l (IMO). Great pick-ups guys! I got a c. 1900-1905 game used LVS, T206 Niles no red ink and a PSA 5 Tolstoi. Here's a quick shot of the group. Thanks to Dan M, Jim (707) & Corey. great seeing everyone!

PS- those aren't my sheets at home...pic shot in the Hotel :)

1913 Derby Cigars
 

1913 Derby Cigars

My two cents worth:
I enjoyed the national for several reasons. Lots of vintage cards for sale and many items on display by the auction companys. I baciscally only went to work on a 1970s Topp set, which I did.
The part I enjoy most is talking to the dealers that I have dealt with in the past. Ron Vitro, E&R Galleries of New Rochelle, NY. The Father and Son of Scottsdale Cards of AZ. Terry Knause of Tik n Tik, officer for the National Convention. Met Johnny Adams for the first time and had a great conversation about him being a full time dealer since 1970.
But the number 1 highlight for me was getting to talk to a guy who will be 91 years old soon. I reminded him about the cards I purchased from him at the
7th National. I was debating if I should buy the cards he had, this guy comes around the table and put his arm around my wife and tells her that it would be a big mistake not to buy them. My wife has aways been impressed with this gentleman because he is Irish just like her. I told her I got to talk to DAN McKEE! She had went sightseeing at Fort McHenry for the day, but was disappointed she missed another Baltimore Legend.

Visiting with "Pops" was certainly the highlight of my National. What a great gentleman! Thanks to Dan'o for making sure I got to say hi.

Tony,
I saw that red Cobb at the show. It is absolutely phenomenal!

Thank you Jim. Now that I'm home I was able to scan it -vs- having to share it through a distant camera shot from my room in Baltimore.
Here's a better pic of the card.

A Matty for a Matty......
 

I acquired this beauty from a fellow collector who was looking for a nice T206 Matty (portrait). I traded my T206 Matty,
and several Ben Franklin's, for this W600 Matty.

TED Z

Ted you did good. I wish I could have made the purchase myself. Don't think it could have went to a better collection. Congrats

Thanks Jeff.
It was a trade with a board member and friend.
Do you know any background on the A's foldout PC?

1929 A's team composite:

Produced in 1910 to celebrate the World Series that year, there is also a Cubs counterpart. Not seen very often, especially intact. Nice pickup.

National Pickups
 

The card in the middle is prewar so maybe I can stay out of trouble with Leon. Oh and the checks are signed by Joe Sewell which lived in Tuscaloosa(my hometown). The Ruth is a SGC 10 due to a small pinhole.

My 2012 National Highlights
 

Here are a few items I picked up.

The Goudey was on a modern dealer's table.

Picked up the Demmit for my set along with a 12"x36" original porcelain Piedmont sign for myself. Too big for my scanner. ;)

The postcard is something I picked up for Dan Bretta. He doesn't know yet.

Nice items everyone!


Jantz

Jantz, Nice Demmit, Congrats

Bam! Great f/b combo, looks like most everyone had a great show.

Thanks guys!

I guess this means I'm going to 520.



Jantz

Thank you Jantz!!!

Awesome pickup and nice gesture Jantz! My buddy and I had a good time chatting with you guys at the Net54 dinner!

Love the E94 Cobb, Jeff, the DiMag, Phil, the 311 leather Foxx in catching gear, the '29 A's composite, Adam, and the W600 Matty, Ted, plus a lot of other great pickups here, all around! Hopefully next year's National for me--haven't been there since Cleveland in 2009.

Best always,

Larry

Nice, Bruce! :)

Great OJ's, Bruce.

Absolutely Amazing Leon! Are you planning on trying to remove them from the magazine or leaving them as is?

Also, do you have a guess as to the origin?

I missed this..
 

Jantz !!!! Congrats- you scored big, I'm very happy that you were able to add the Demmitt, that is awesome !!!!

I missed this, this is a huge pick up & the Piedmont porcelin sign to boot :eek:

Great job :D
