Picked up this one from a fellow board member..:)

The only Tinker I mean Wagner that I will ever be able to afford :D

M128
 

A fairly beat M128 used for display with the 1915 W-Unc...

Great item, Leon!

Nice one, Leon. M128s might be my favorite issue.

Doug

Leon that is just plain cool. :cool:

Leon
That would be a nice upgrade to mine

Arrived last weekend:

Very nice, Scott! One of the coolest portraits in the hobby, that Cobb.

I might have a new card to post for the next "favorite card" thread. Fittingly presented against a backdrop of Yankee pinstripes... :D

Thanks, Chuck. And that's my favorite Ruth card - beautiful example.

My first post from my collection
 

I just received these two cards. These are my first old judge cards and I am very pleased.

I am really excited about these. I don't think I could want a better two first Old Judge Cards.

Though I am still waiting on the very best December "Pickup". As my wife is due to go into labor any day. So these cards will very quickly be overshadowed.

Thank you Mr. Carter!
 

Nice looking Greenberg! A Carter slab to top it off.
- love the website too - amazing...

Chuck,
Great Ruth!

Rusty,
That Greenberg is sweet!

Mark, awesome Greenberg. I was the underbidder for a few of the 36 Goudey auctions. Managed to snag a couple:

My First 19th Century HOFer
 

Here's a nice '33 DeLong Lefty Gomez. A beauty from PWCC on ebay!

Thanks Ralph!
 

At the risk of asking a stupid question, what is that in Gordon's left hand?

Regards,

Richard.

Maybe a new baseball in a box? Doesn't look like his glove is on his hand so I'm thinking he's probably bringing them somewhere...he may even have to boxes in his hand as the one that is visible is sticking out pretty far in his hand...just my 2 cents...

It's been awhile since I have shown any pickups...here's a new Vander Meer Action and a '33 Goudey of Joe Sewell.
Thanks to Net54 BST

Thank You, Jeff, wahoochubbsydale, Scott, Howie, Sylvain and Ed:

Andy,

Now that is a nice Cobb. Congrats!

Thanks, Turner. Yeah, I'm really happy to land it. Just hope I can find the other three just as nice. Hope all is well with you!

Thank You, Rick, Terry and Steve:

I love antique stores and flea markets. Thank You, Dick, especially for my new economical security system:

Dec Pick Up
 

Thanks Ralph ! (Yes, that is a baseball in a box in his left hand)

Dec pickup
 

A big thanks to my friend Steve for making this one available and thus, I have completed my Boston A.L Ramly subset which also includes a TTT backer courtesy of Scott earlier in the year.

not all pre-war, but my best pick-ups this year...
 

1950-51 Mejoral - Hoyt Wilhelm

1950-51 Mejoral - Dick Williams

and a big thanks for the ridiculously quick shipment of my pick-up at the sportscardlink auction (sold by Dan P.) - - 1921 Oxford Confect. - Burleigh Grimes

Derek:

Fantastic pick-ups on the Wilhelm & D. Williams Mejorals!

I have never seen them in person, are they actually premiums, cards, etc.?

This arrived today from a fellow board member..:D

Thanks Phil ! I was quite excited to get my hands on these!!

Each "card" is about 3"x2" and comes in a booklet that folds up accordian-style so that the front shows the "Mejoral" cover and the back has the "Dos Segundos" advertisement.

Below are more scans of the Mejoral Almendares booklet (w/ Dick Williams):

Picked up these classic catcher covers tongiht
 

I'm excited to have picked up these two Collier's Covers tonight on eBay.


Patrick

Reg, very nice AB!

This guy showed up tonight and completed my back run.

Thanks Chris..:) That's great looking for a 1

I just picked up this beauty on ebay..:D not a super "rare" back but it's good to have it on an HOF..:D

Very nice, Derek, thanks for posting the pics. I have never seen them before and always wondered what type of issue they were.

Been looking for one of these for awhile.
 

Merry Christmas to me!

Congrats Chris !
 

Ho-Ho-Ho... A real toughie & a cool card - Congrats !

Love The Babe:

Nice, a T206 Coupon back!!!

Upgrade for my Tolstoi collection

http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/3...toispeaker.jpg

Rob:

That's a very nice "1"

Thanks Phil! There is a bit of back damage, but at least the "Tolstoi" wording is not damaged.

Rob

keep up your pursuits on Goudey and Tolstoi. Good luck and Merry CHRISTmas.

Congratulations to the board member who won this one:

PSA 8 Sovereign 350 Apple Green

Just back from SGC - Thank you to a board member for the Wallace

What's with the PSA flip on the O'Leary? I don't think I've ever seen "1909-1911" on a PSA T206. Was that added for a short period of time?

Flips are inconsistent - I was just noticing the Wallace no-cap, 1-line has that noted. Mine does not:

My first T202 :)

I'd wanted this one a long time, and pulled the trigger laaaaate night last night while in bed...

My first T207 thanks to a Board member...

Attachment 51683

and my first Wagner! (actually arrived in late Nov but who's keeping track)

Attachment 51689

^^^ quite the trifecta! Very nice!

thanks! Now I see if there's anything left for Christmas presents?!?:D

Thank You, Eric:

Agreed.

T201 Cobb / Crawford PSA 6.5. Excited about the pick up.

Thanks to the board member who sold this for a great deal and being a pleasure to deal with.Got my Baker!

I thought this Speaker was pretty cool.

Dec pick ups
 

Great stuff everyone. Add a few more this month

Thank You, Alan:

Nice Gordon Rookies, Brian.

Thank you to Dan P for the Brouthers and O'Rourke:

I now have 7 Old Judge HOFers, and all the N28 HOFers except Anson.

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h8...scan0001-6.jpg

Steve

Nice pick-ups, Steve.

I agree, nice pick-ups Steve. The O'Rourke is a beauty!

Thanks guys :)

Yea, that O'Rourke really blows me away. Absolutely the only thing I can find "wrong" with it is the clip on the left edge. Other than that, it's untouched except for the rounded corners. It has some very minor creasing as well as what might be a faded pencil marking on the back.

All I can say is SGC killed it on the grade. Another example of BTCNTH! :D

Steve

Thank You, Phil.

Thanks Andrew for alerting me!

Attachment 51800

My first Gehrig! Very excited about this ONE.

http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m...ehrigfront.jpg


http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m...Gehrigback.jpg

That's a really nice "1" Gehrig

Thanks! I'm hoping to get a bump to a 1.5. Maybe an outside shot at a 2.

Congratulations. Mine was also in a PSA 'poor' holder - I freed Lou and he looks much better in a top loader.

Slabbed 'poor' cards can really be a great buy, since 'poor' can mean almost anything. Picked this one up a few weeks ago:

comments and cards
 

Scott F- nice looking Gehrig there...

Packs- that is why I collect lower grade too. That card demonstrates precisely why you can't sell or make offers on lower end cards without seeing them. That card should sell for a 2+ price all day long.

And here are some W519s with wet sheet transfers on back. I already had the W519-1 Morton with full image on back. I notice someone is selling a very similar type card on ebay for 5k+. If anyone wants this one I will sell it for 4k, today only!!! :) (I paid $40 for it not too long ago, from Ed H.)

Got this puppy a couple days ago. Always fun to pick up a dozen balls from a HOFer

Added two more from a fellow member..:D

Dec Pickup :
 

Thanks Dave !

Ebay win..:)

T207 Ted Easterly
 

This Ted Easterly T207 arrived today. I thought it was a classic catcher pose for the T207 set. Don't recall seeing this player before. Maybe one of the T-207 experts can chime in to whether or not this is a tougher T207 to find.
