its been awhile........
 

Awesome pickups everyone!!!! I'm happy to get back into vintage after not really adding too much this year as I have been really focusing on adding to my 1965 Topps Auto set and me and my wife having a baby this past April. Here's whats come in so far this month:

Grab bag of items that have fallen into my greedy little hands in the past while (courtesy of eBay, Goodwin, Mears etc):

Trying to collect the 1928 SF Seals roster. Mishkin is a tough card.
Also trying to put together an Obak sub-set of Vancouver and Victoria players. Ward was the last Victoria Bee I needed, another toughie.

Picked up this Mono from Goodwin as a typecard.

Another typecard, my first E99, second-string Seals shortstop Harry McArdle. Love the floating head effect.
Looks like everyone else here has a Grignon Mordecai Brown postcard so I thought I should have one too.

Lastly, some photos I scored from eBay and Mears, respectively.
A classic out at the plate shot, umpire Jim Boyer working a Senators game in 1950.
And, the very first thing that ever dazzled me in a major league ballyard once upon a time long ago, the Chesterfield sign in centerfield at the Polo Grounds. A Hit!

Nice stuff, Dan & Congrats on the addition to the family as well!

Signed T205 Ed Walsh
 

Fell short on the Cobb, but picked up this nice consolation prize at a mere fraction of the price -- and it's my first signed pre-war card of a player from T206 that I don't also have on a T206:

It ain't pretty, but Coy knocks the 1909 Obak hunt down to a scant 3 cards to go. If you have Speas, Willett, or J Williams and are interested in naming my first born (really, any name is fine -- doesn't even need to have a vowel), let me know.

Great photo on this one!

Jeff
Your right, that is a great photo

I picked this one up in a trade with a Board member. Very happy to use this as an upgrade for my Throwing Lajoie with an odd back. It is replacing a nice SC 150, 649.

Happy Saturday,
Bob

Nice addition, Bob. I happened to add that same front/back combo -- albeit in lesser condition -- to my Lajoie collection this week.

Picked up possibly the toughest card in the E121 Series of 120 set to find (it was thought not to exist by many that collect this set up until fairly recently)...

My O/T recent pickup came from a fresh paper/ephemera collection from a good friend of mine, and I HAD to pick it up, it is a RPPC...
http://starsofthediamond.com/houdini1.JPG http://starsofthediamond.com/houdini4.jpg

wow, what did that houdini set u back rhett?

Wow, Rhett, that's one of the best acquisitions I've ever seen on this board. Incredible. Is that actually signed?

Just back from SGC. This was a really tough one, very happy to cross it off my want list.

Charles?
 

Charles Marquard and SGC validated that?

BTW - Rhett - nice Houdini!

:D

ebay pickups
 

A couple of T207 upgrades of cards which don't appear too often, a Pelty and a McGinley for those sets and some T210s at decent prices for that never-ending set.

follow the leader
 

Following Bob's lead - some upgrades for tougher cards and a sub-set adder on T207.

Mislabeled fronts can be nice - both these are tough in VG or better.

Temple Cup
 

Interesting Temple Cup item

A recent Ebay pickup......

Wow, Mike! Did you get that Wingo for a Recruit price? Tough, tough card and with a Napoleon back. Definitely a great card. :eek:

The Monster Attacks
 

Recently got taken up by the monster and got these four in the mail today. Gotta love it.

From a fellow Net54er
 

Thanks Dan for helping me getting closer to completing this set!

Occasionally ...
 

things work out.

Many thanks, Bob! The prices were fair overall, and in line with Recruit pricing. The Nap back made it definitely worthwhile!

Wow amazing pickups Jeff...I am having trouble deciding which one I like the best.

They can go some.

Jeff:

Really cool Cincy postcard, never seen that one before.

Thanks guys. The Cincy PC has Hal Chase on it -- and Matty as manager.

Toby - very nice pickup!

Pete - nice Tolstoi. That's a tough one!

Don't forget Edd Rousch and Heinie Groh

Interesting Los Angeles Cabinet
 

This card is not for sale or trade. Thanks for all of the interest.

My t210s...
 

I was fortunate enough to get these off of eBay for cheap...

a few others...
 

Thanks to eBay, Jason, and Anthony...

Recent pickups...at least they were *scanned* in October. :D
The AB came from Legendary Auctions in August, the Coupon came from Joe's Vintage Sports Cards.

Have a good one,
Steve

Very cool! Where did you find that?

One of three big eBay wins for me last week...
 

just showed up in the mail.

HRKs
 

Thanks Ben.

And Lena Blackburne!

Nice pick-up Anthony, that's one of the really tough OJ HOF'ers

My only card......
 

Just picked this up on Ebay for a decent price Best Offer ($375)....I only wish the stain on the card was more fully on his pants, would have added a certain character to his uniform.

My Diamond Star collection is picking up steam...whoever said this would become addicting was correct...

Not the greatest of condition but one tough and elusive Negro Leaguer.

Great pick-up, Noel! You're right, that is an extremely tough one.

Tough card, grade makes it extant -- my kind of card

Nice!

I'll show you mine...

OK...need to take a break and replenish my funds...
 

this will be my last Diamond Star for a little while...but it's a goodie!

I love flea markets. These are definitely not in mint condition, but, what the hey. Thank You, CJ and Justin (OT):

Been looking for the right one for awhile and found it.

An antique shop pickup:

Nice '41 PB
 

Michael,

Very nice '41 Play Ball. It looks like it should have been graded higher than PSA 6. Are there any issues that are not apparent in your photo? I have a PSA 7 of the same card and yours appears nicer.

those dicks are impressive!

Many thanks to B&L for the quick shipping, it makes me feel bad for taking a week to send payment. :o

http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/u...9ObakBeall.jpg

Hi Tim,

The blank back has a thin slight scratch that probably reduced the overall grade to a 6 which is the reason I jumped at this one as I would put the front up against any 7 or 7.5. Thanks for the compliment.

Michael

Appears to be much better than the grade. Detroit is a fairly tough one to pick up. Now I just need the Boston NL to complete the set.

Very happy to add some nice stuff this month:

EPDG Marquard to finish off the trio with odd backs
Hindu Lajoie Port to finish off the trio
SOV 150 Young needed some green in the box
Broad Leaf 350 Kelley, because I did not expect to win it!

Take care,
Bob
