Re: October 2011 Pickups
 

David,
Congratulations on a spectacular find. Thanks for sharing.

Bradley-Bender
 

There was a separate thread about this card, but just got it in the mail today. T206 Bradley with Bender on top. The years have worn it down a bit... off to SGC tomorrow.

Some of my October pickups
 

Just picked up a T206 Bresnahan portrait (SGC 30) for $55 off the Bay. It's been a while, but 1 more off the monster!

Crown Jewel to my collection
 

Picked up the Crown Jewel to my Catcher Collection.

I was fortunate to pick up this Joseph Laughlin, Danville Red Sox Old Mill Cabinet, which arrived today. A nice companion piece for my Laughlin T210!

One of those weird situations where you sell a card on Ebay, regret selling it, and then see it pop back up on Ebay a few months later. Happy to have it back.

Great cabinet, Patrick. Congrats!

Jason,

Interesting looking Speaker in a strange sort of way.

Thanks Iggy! will try to post that soon. am traveling the next few days.

I love the mail!
 

A bunch of nice cards showed up at my house today! Picked up a sweet 1908 American Lg. Pub. Co. postcard of Charles Berger and a fantastic, high grade (PSA 8!) 1908 Detroit Free Press postcard of Ed Summers from forum member Bicem (Jeff P.). The coupons are both from forum member simas7173. Thanks for the great cards guys!

Interesting and strange are definitely two words that came to mind when I purchased it.

Diamond Star
 

Really excited to pick this one up...never realized how small this guy was!

Wow, Rhett! Nice Zees.

Incredible Condition
 

Rhett,

WOW is right.

You would be hard pressed to find any nicer condition Zeenuts.

Congrats!


Patrick

Wow those Zeenuts are off the charts, congrats!!

Very nice, Rhett! Great poses on each card.

I love these M 101-2's

I'll join the chorus - those 1912 Zeenuts are incredible.

Nice Brown Jeff.

Great cards Trae.

Thanks, Tony! I always enjoy seeing your pickups too, considering we have such similar taste in T206.

Bresnahan
 

Jeff - That picture of Bresnahan is awesome - I love the pictures of the catchers with the old protective equipment. Always wished the T206 set had a card of Bresnahan with the catching gear (not just the portrait and batting).

Nice Pickup, Jeff!! That's a rich man's Sepia PC796 ;)

First Post
 

Hello all, new to the forum. Started collecting again a couple years ago after I randomly picked up a pack of 2009 Topps Heritage at a Target to share with my kids. I used to collect when I was a kid, have reclaimed many of those cards and then some.

My two recent pickups:

Another Favorite
 

This isn't recent, but it's one of my favorites. 1937 Wheaties panel signed by DiMaggio.

Nice pick ups on Ruth and Foxxxxxxxxxx.

Sweet, Tony! Awesome that the staining didn't affect any of the Donovan portrait, aside from the border. It reminds me of your awesome EPDG Bender portrait.

my first Joss (From LI National)

large LA find?
 

Does anyone know what causes the purple discoloration on this card? Was there are find with several cards like this? I have some just like it.

Looks like Pepto Bismol bath to me!

Maybe blue fountain pen ink that someone has tried to get out? Just a thought. Perhaps the original owner was using as a blotter and then some collector got the card and soaked it in something to try and get rid of the ink. The rest of the card looks so worn that I have to think it's been soaked a bunch.

I have a t213 beater that looks exactly like that, with slightly bluish toning. Maybe a factory mishap?

wow, d303 is a nice 2

T202 Wheat Signed
 

Bought this on ebay many years ago. Sold it in a Mastro auction after I acquired a dupe. Just bought it back this month because I traded my dupe a couple of years ago. Very happy to welcome it back into the (triple) fold....

Happy to find this.

Cool Red Sox card, Michael. Love the image.

I'm a Yankee fan Michael, but that is really cool.

Finally!

Thank you to a fellow Net54 member for this.

Awesome Mike!!!!

This aquisition actually started in August
 

Lot of eight PSA graded cards with front scans only. I could see that two of the cards had the MK qualifier, but no mention of what earned the card the MK. After several emails to the seller, found that one of the cards did have Howe's stamp, as did five other cards he found in his collection rather quickly.

Then two weeks later, he emails me to say he found three more....

The final card comes from a Kevin Savage auction. Kevin was kind enough to email me and let me know this one was up for bids, and I was able to get it.

These 10 bring the total in the rebuilt collection up to 195. Never imagined when I started four and a half years ago I would ever find half this many.

ED, Nice pick-up's 10 in one month.. AWESOME:D

Go Ed!! That's great!

Nice find Ed.

Love the Boston pc as well.

T206 Dahlen Brooklyn
 

Found this the other day - I think I did ok

Sweet score on the Dahlen! Someone was confused, eh? :)

Arrived in the mail today! I haven't had a chance to really look at the book yet but it looks nice..:)

Nice pickup for the price

Back from the technologically dead. I had to replace my ten year old computer and put in a new scanner to boot. I just want to thank Mike, Lauri and Mike for the cards. I also visited another flea market and an antique store. The first picture I know is off topic, but it is of a pre-War player (good one too) and I have to admit I chose to post here instead of the memorabilia section. The second picture is of Thomas d'Alesandro (who?!), the mayor of Baltimore when MLB was deciding where to move a pre-WWII franchise in the St. Louis Browns. Peeping Toms and politicians :D.

Vegasguy

I just got the same book. Really like it.

Also the father of Nancy Pelosi!

Orioles1954,

Thank You for the information. I also found in researching d'Alesandro that his son, Thomas L. J. D'Alesandro III, was also mayor of Baltimore from 1967-1971, but I'm digressing from the topic. I will have to be down again from posting scans because the transfer of files on my computer did not get all of my scans, so back to the shop it goes.

Partial scans of my October pickups. Still waiting on about 10 cards to arrive.
