If these are phone pics, you need to make a subtle change then save it when it is in the correct position on your phone before you upload it.

Mine phone is the same way.

Very nice card! :)

Thanks Ryan, and congratulations. That's an amazing card. That's the difference between you and me: you get a Cobb Back, and two months later you can buy that Ruth: I get a Cobb Back and I have to live like a college student for the next two years.

Now excuse me, my Ramen Noodles are ready. :(

Thanks Irv, and yes, those are phone pics. I still have some learning to do, but thanks for the advice. :)

Nothing earth shattering here but things I like.

I have to say some of the above pick ups are amazing.

Ryan, you just added a major card to your collection. I can see it now, “Here comes all the different backs” Congrats Buddy

Brian L - nice Kell and Berra rookies! I love the Tip Top set, sandwiched in between WWII and the '48 Bowman sets! Lots of "earliest" cards in that set.

Oh, and I'll just pretend I didn't see the Cobb/Cobb back and Ruth rookie that were complete mic drops, which completely obliterated any chance that anyone will want to bother posting in this thread for the rest of the month. There's always next month...looking forward to the August pick-up thread already.

Not pre-war but thought the pre-war crowd might find this type card interesting. Never seen another of them. It's some kind of Dominican League issue of Matty Alou. The seller described it as being issued by an ice cream company called Poly out of Santo Domingo:

DJ, Chris, Sean and Chuck- thanks, I am real psyched.

DJ- soon.... (I hope)
Sean, Ramen fits you bc you have a beast of a collection and a great eye.

Beautiful card Ryan. Famous and Barr up next for you in Heritage.

Finally picked up one of my favorites, an E93 Cy Young:

I just went back and read this thread, and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Sean and Ryan; those two cards are incredible!!!!!

Steve

Thank you, Raymond.

Chuck,

Sorry for the delayed response. Here you go.

Thank you,

Brian Van Horn

Anyone pick up a Just So Young given we quickly moved to cards that make your head spin? Unbelievable cards, fellas.

Olympic Duke!

Thanks Steve.

"Pickups."

Anybody else ever make something like this?

Since they're in the public domain, I used the higher res images that can be downloaded from the Library of Congress collection, and then used Zazzle.

(T-shirt just got wrinkled in shipping, looks better now)

Thanks Steven and Steve.

Regarding those T Shirts, dealer Stan at Chantilly (dont know last name, but he has great taste in vintage cards) has a 1933 Goudey Lajoie T Shirt, and I complimented him on it today. Not sure I would wear it out on a Saturday night (or even a Wednesday night), but its a great shirt/concept for a card show and especially for a dealer; lets people from far away know what kind of stuff you may have at your table.

Matt, for several years Leon had net54 t-shirts made. I have one with a D304 Cobb on it.

DJ

Congrats to everyone on the very nice pickups!

I made these shirts for National last year... Sets that I collect...

Steve

Cool shirts Steve!!...No Victory Tobacco??...Jerry

Awesome Kahanamoku, John. :) I always seeing cards from outside the big four sports.

Jerry, I would look for Steve to be wearing T214 Victory and T217 Mono T-shirts at Chicago. :D

Picked up a nice Chief Meyers Paul Thompson photo for my Chief Meyers display.

AWESOME Wagner!

Jerry and Val,

Looks like I'm going to have to step it up and make more this year!

And here I thought I could get away with wearing the same ones again... :eek:

Nice Wagner, Jay!

Matthew, nice WaJo sweatshirt!

Steve

Surely it's been considered to have a t shirt with the uncut Wagner strip on the front with a pair of scissors and on the back of the shirt it stabbed in PSA 8 :D

Is there a pic of the Wagner strip? All I've seen that I recall are pictures of the pre-Mastro Wagner already cut from the strip.

I am not aware of an image of the uncut strip if there is one it’s probably a color photocopy in some collectors archives.

I think the best way to spread the word about the current crisis in the hobby is to create a bunch of really cool T-shirts and sell them by the thousands at the national. It would not be hard to do and make a lot of money at the same time.

I've heard it said that the strip was cut way back in the 1950s.

Haven’t seen one that nice. Great pickup.

Excited to find a REALLY tough RC of Stan the Man...

John, Chris and Jay (nice rare, non-t206 pickup), great pick-ups. Congrats!

Love the 460/25 backs

Stan the Man
 

Killer Sears Musial, Chris.

my holy grail!

Jay, nice WaJo.

Jay, Congrats on the Johnson, it’s a beauty

Very excellent Jay. You are on a serious role.

It was YOU!!!!!

Killer card, Chris! One of the rarest "rookies" in the hobby. Only the second Musial from that set that I've ever seen. Congrats!

Great Walter Jay. And Rob, that's a couple nice HOFs.

Jay, nice looking WaJo for the grade and very scarce front-back combo. Congrats!

Thanks Sean.

Thanks guys! This is a card I never thought I'd see.

This scarce Worch Cigar pick up from eBay might not interest any of you, but it sure excites me because William/Billy "Pinky" Hargrave was on the 1924 Senators championship team. I collect cards of all the players on this team, and picking up a scarce card of a hardly-known player excites me just as much as if I had acquired a T206 BL 460 of WaJo (well, almost as much!).

Thanks for posting reverse, Brian van horn.

I'm gushing over this Chief Meyers (especially in black jersey).

This is outside the scope of my normal baseball collecting, but Naubinway (upper peninsula Michigan) is one of my favorite places so I had to pick it up. Postmarked 1910.
