Zeenut Covaleski
 

I'm very excited to post this Zeenut Covaleski. With this addition, I now have at least one Zeenut card of every major league Hall of Famer in the Zeenut run. I've wanted to complete this run since I picked up my first Zeenut Hall of Famer back in high school (Cochrane). This has been something like a 40 year journey.

(Sorry for the poor quality scan - it's a new scanner that I obviously need to adjust).

Thanks guys!

Congrats Paul....that is a journey.

Nice example to finish the quest with Paul. And what a quest to complete.

Awesome card. Nicely done!

Congrats Paul. That is really awesome. Now what do you do with the next 4o years?

Thanks everyone. The next 40 years I will try to locate the cards I need to complete my overall HOF collection -- a Punch or Cabanas Pete Hill, a Mallorquina Willie Foster, and a W600 or Just So Burkett.

Picked up a nice E220 Speaker, I always liked this shot of him.

Awesome card. Need to add this to my want list.

Upgraded Chesbro for my HOF Portrait run. Not in hand yet, but just another great Net54 BST transaction!

Bill

Nice one Bill.

Previous pick ups back from the grader. Wasn't sure SGC would grade the Schutz RPPC as its the only one Ive ever seen, glad they did. Graded low from the writing on the back but Hank (Walters grandson) tells a great story about how that was the date of his grandparents first date. Fun stuff.

Phil, Great looking Speaker. From The Collector Connection

December is a Thorpe Month

Great pick up Ryan

Wow, lots of incredible card additions!

Just got these from REA, really excited!

I recently started working on the 1934 Goudey set and picked these up.

Also, another T202 - down to 14 to complete the set, but still need 4 Cobbs

Finally
 

Paid too much but finally completed Series 3 in the T210 set.

Great Pickups Erick and that Mantle has really nice eye appeal

Damn Erick, congrats!! That’s an awesome haul

TBob, congrats on completing the series

Tbob
 

Nice Bob...Jerry

Nice job, congrats!

Congratulations on the completion Bob.

The past 2-3 weeks has been unreal for me. I've gotten four incredible cards, and I feel so fortunate. Three of them I got virtually all in trade, with this being the lone exception. I picked up this card from RobW here, who also accommodated me in partial trade. So pleased to own a Ruth that looks this nice. This pose has always been my favorite of the Goudeys, as he looks like a tired, old ballplayer nearing the end of his career, which is exactly what he was.

Some recent T3 pickups. I'm inching towards the finish line on my set :)

Great looking #181. Congrats!

I have been hunting the E254 Toledo Flick for couple years and was able to add the Red Border Flick from the same collector.

Those T3s are beauties, Chad. Such a cool set.

Agree! Nice T3s and that’s a great Ruth 181!

Thanks Ryan and Jeff

REA pickups.

Congrats. I love that card as well hoping it’s my next addition.

Congrats Tbob. Nice accomplishment and nice card.

The last week or so has been some great pickups!

Holy sh*t Paul!!!! Amazing! And yes, you definitely need to adjust the settings on your scanner. This card right here folks is pretty much THE holy grail for Zeenut and, of course, HOF rookie card collectors. Where in the hell did you find it???!!!???? I'm SOO jealous..but of course super happy for you. Your collection is absolutely incredible! Nicely done, sir. Nicely done.

T222 Grover
 

Wonderful pickups, they look great! I'm dangerously close to starting to go after those PC796's in earnest, they have such great eye appeal. That 1921 WaJo Exhibit is beautiful, especially for a 1.5. Knowing SGC, there must be a crease in there somewhere, but if so it sure doesn't take anything away from the card. Congrats!!

Ink stain on the back which I'm entirely ok with.

Wow, even better than a crease! Well done.

1922 Ruth
 

Great Ruth postcard, congrats!

Great Card indeed

Jealous but Congrats

It's been a long time since I've posted a card pickup (mostly photos etc these days), but I did get these two guys recently. 1886 Red Stocking Cigar trade cards of Radbourn and Morrill. Taken out of a Boston-area scrapbook, they have sadly been trimmed down quite a bit. Each measures about 5-1/2" x 2.5". As issued they should be 6-1/2" x 3-3/4", so approximately 75% of each card is still present. But the Radbourn I believe is his rookie card, so 75% is better than none.

Any opinions as to whether or not SGC or PSA will authenticate these with the heavy trim? They are definitely (IMO) real RS Cigar cards. Notice around the edges front and back the small bits of red text still left, which align perfectly with the text on the full 1886 cards.

Those are some great pickups.

You outbid me for the E94 Sam Crawford in the Collector Connection auction. Such a cool card. Congrats!

I would think you'd be okay with SGC. Years ago I had some equally heavily trimmed tobacco/cigar cards from a couple different obscure and very rare 1880's cigar card issues as well. They had no problem encapsulating and marking them all as "A" for me. And unless something has drastictly changed with them over the past several years, would assume they can do the same for you. No experience or clue regarding how PSA would handle them though.

Those look amazing by the way. Good luck.

Thanks for the input re: SGC, BobC!
