Nice Phil!

Phil,

I'm pretty sure that one used to be mine. Treat it nicely. :)

I love flea markets. Thank you, Jim:

I love antique shops:

Great cards Erick!

I've been eyeing this '37 Wheaties "card" of Joltin' Joe for some time. I finally pulled the trigger ...

Well, this qualifies as an August "Pickup" because I literally just picked up some cards off the floor that I didn't even know I had. Scratching around in a spare room we have which is pretty much a junk room, I found six graded cards which had fallen behind a desk and were completely forgotten about. 4 of them were not exciting. 1967 Topps football cards PSA 7 and 8 of Miller Farr, Frank Jackson, Art Powell, and Larry Elkins. I actually remember winning these cards off ebay for 99 cents each. Not sure why I wanted them, but a good price. The other two much better and have me mystified. 1913 Tom Barker game cards of Christy Mathewson and Ed Walsh. Both SGC 70/5.5. I don't remember these cards for the life of me. I assume they came from a time when I was drinking heavily. Not like yesterday, I mean REALLY heavily. Still a nice "Pickup"!

Lol, that's amazing!

Wow that ships fast!

Wrong section

Okay, here we go again with this Monster thing. I'm going to approach this a little differently this time. Sure I will. The Monster will never see me coming. I'm going to sneak up on him all silent like. At least I can honestly say that this is the best condition Ty Cobb card I've ever owned... hands down.

Also picked up the cleanest Chase-Trophy I've ever owned. Quite happy with this pair. And now my unsigned T206 collection now stands at 20 examples. Once I had 521...

Awesome Cobb and Chase. Very difficult to find a red Cobby with great color, registration and centering all in one card. Well done!

That's a beautiful Cobb! I've picked up a few more, so I thought I'd share.

It's been a good month to be a Ty Cobb collector...

Nice Chase Ad@m!

Love those big borders :)


Jantz

Thanks to simas7173 for this one!

Wow, Pete! That's some dynamic duo. Big congrats!

After a 3 year search, I got my F Scott Fitzgerald in the mail today. Thanks again to the people on this board for the great advice! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/15/vu8uru5y.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/15/4ajusugu.jpg

Nice bender ben

I was supposed to be taking the month off, but...
 

I know it's not a 1914 Cracker Jack or a T206, but I was glad to work out a deal with a fellow board member for these two cards.

I knew that portrait of Jennings on your card Daryl looked familiar. It is the same portrait that is used on his 1916 Tango Eggs card... Nice cards!!!

Beautiful card Ben.

BTW, what is a "F Scott Fitzgerald" in card lingo? I know he is the famous author, but I am confused about the card being called that.

Intesting looking cabinet Brian

Thank you.

I too am befuddled by your terminology. Please explain.

Thanks Dustin. Jennings appears in this pose in a handful of other sets as well.

Thanks to everyone. Here is a link to a thread I started when I found this card on EBay. There are some very good explanations by some great people on this forum about the "F" stamp and the supposed relation to F Scott Fitzgerald. The debate is still out there, but I chose to be a believer! :)
Worst case scenario, I have a T206 Hall of Famer!

Decided to Ty one on....

Ben....
 

Great pick up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

get them now before the jerks out there start a rubber stampn':eek:

There's another one of these "F" marked cards on ebay right now, I just don't remember which card it is! I didn't know what the stamp meant at the time until I read this thread and was convinced you bought the card I had seen since I saw it the same day you purchased yours, but it's definitely a different card. Let the hunt begin!!!

I'm happy to get this Lundgren!

Yes, but let's reopen the debate. Does the F stand for F. or for Fitzgerald?

latest pick up
 

New addition to the collection. Going to SGC to be put into a holder that fits better than this I hope.

I was in on the Gehrig, glad you got. I have same in a 7 and yes looks great in SGC holder so do it.

Far from pretty...

.

Here are my pickups from an antique fair my wife brought me to and found for me... Wouldn't mind trading the T207 for a T206, just inbox me if interested.Attachment 156717
Attachment 156718

Had one and picked the other up...

Great stuff Leon!

Couldn't resist picking up these from a board member!

Attachment 156759

Attachment 156760

Both very nice Leon, the one on the right being a better match in design to the GQ packs. What are your impressions of the differences between the two (date, original contents, etc.)?

Ahhhh, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It looks awful nice to me. Congrats!

One of my favorite cards ever...

Really enjoy looking at all the pickups, keep them coming!

2 New pickups
 

Picked these 4 up recently.

Thanks to Todd for the nice looking Wally Schang!

Patrick

I may have heard this before on this board, but doesn't Plank resemble the famous picture of Billy the Kid?

E121 Ruth
 

Glad to have picked this one up.....

I have not posted in a pickup thread in a few months, but yesterday was a very good day at the mailbox. Picked up my first Cracker Jack and finally got a Dave Orr Buchner Gold Coin.

Another catcher S74 colored silk
 

Picked up another colored S74 catcher for my subset, Roger Bresnahan (Mouth closed).


Patrick

happy to pick this one up - add to my slow moving portrait set

E121 Ruth
 

:eek:WOW!! That E121 Babe Ruth is incredible..............That has to be my favorite Ruth card. Would love to pick one up like that.

Andy

I love that Ruth Pickup! Very nice!

I missed out on the nicer/higher graded one in the Sterling Auction, but was able to pick-up this one. Thanks to board member Andrew for letting me know that it was available in the last LOTG auction:

Great pick up, Jason!

Thanks to George Gogol (both father and son) for this one
 

George (the son) is the one we see on the board more often. While going through their combined T206 collection, they found this one in George's (the dad) collection. George reached out to me and yesterday, this beauty arrived to rejoin the other 258 in the rebuilt collection. Thanks again to George II and George III.

Very nice malarkey and nice mini story

Shouldn't you be in school? :D

What a nice looking Ruth card! Great pickup!!!!

The other day, I was writing a little Pirates history article and realized that I didn't have any Woody Jensen cards. It was his birthday, so I said what better day to pick one up. Looking at my three choices on ebay, I couldn't decide, so I bought all three. Same seller, free shipping, total cost: $18.50! Can't beat that. Love the prices on these 1936 Goudey/Fine Pen cards

Glad the card is at home! Enjoy Ed! Thanks for a great transaction. I mailed dad a nice psa 3 Malarkey today, to replace it.

Nice Ruth! Congrats Pete

Sort of a pick up for me. Was able to get a nice bump for my Gehrig at the White Plains show last weekend:

Packs-- that is gorgeous. What a great buy. Eye appeal.

I have decided to tackle the "caramel monster". Here are a few of the pick ups.

two new ones
 

A new Tolstoi and AB350F

Not a high value card but anytime I grt to adda pre-war issue to my HOFcollection its a big deal to me.

New Computer!
 

I finally have a new computer up and running after being with out a desktop for over 6 months after the last one crashed. I was able to lurk on the board for that time, but posting anything from my phone was sort of a pain and I certainly didn't know how to show anything from my phone. But anyway, I picked the following four cards up from The National and I just wanted to shout out a hello and thanks to all those I saw and talked to at the National. Everyone from the board is always so polite and friendly and great to talk to. I want to especially thank those board members from which I bought cards from and from those board members that I was considering buying from, but ran out of money...sorry!:( These four cards, an E98 Tenney which I just had to have another, and the 3 Turkey Reds...my new set that I'm pursuing, came from board members Michael Peich, Ed Hans, Tim Newcomb, and Gary Nuchereno.
Thanks Guys! Enjoy! I love all the great cards from this month!

Nice cards all

Some gorgeous cards coming in this month, guys.

Pete, I'm a sucker for a Ruth or Gehrig Goudey. To get one from each at the same time, wow. Very nice!

T206collector, that's a really nice Cobb. Nice clean lines on the edges.

Daryl, I really need to sit down and learn about the Mello Mint cards. I know enough to appreciate that they are to get. And I love that you got one of Hughie Jennings. Every time I see him on a card, especially with his famous "Eeyah" pose, I can't help but smile.

numbers 32 and 33 toward the Nadja set. Really must thank the board member sold these to me. Not only did he give me a fair price, but he also held them aside for me for a few months while I gathered up the money to pay for them...Thanks Jerry
