Dec Pickup
 

Dec. Pickup

From H&S last night. I've always loved this image, which was used for the Tuxedo Tobacco ad. It's from 1912, not 1924-25 as stated in the auction.

1939 R303-A Goudey Ted Williams
 

My first baseball card purchase in many, many years.......

Derek:

Unfortunately, the pickings have been very slim for Negro League material. I have been picking up some cool ice cream collectibles for my "other" area of interest though...............

BTW Great pick-up, Andy, congrats!

Beauty.

Me likey! I was watching that lot closely! Congrats, Hank!

While it is..........
 

........clearly almost a decade too old to be "period," at least it's supposedly full, so I'll have something to smoke while I search for another:

Michael

Derek,

Nice Irvin. That's a pretty hard to find card. Congrats on picking it up. Best,

Kenny Cole

Thanks to Derek, Ted, Steve, Darrin and Sean for an expensive week. A few of which were mine previously, glad to get them back. :)

WOW Mr Sarno! Always nice to get cards like those back....that UZIT is a beauty. Congrats sir. :eek:

Thanks to Peter S. No scarce except maybe the quality.

Thanks Chris. It was great dealing with everyone...it's about time you & I did another deal. ;)

Great Addition to my 1920's Collection:
 

Mr. Hornsby was getting a little bored, so I hired a Hippo to pitch to him:

Some Odd T206s
 

Had the opportunity to pick up some odd T206s, probably for resale.

I love that Livingston, Jason!!

1900 Pittsburgh Pirates. Thank you, George:

Brian:

What is that Pirates team image, newspaper photo, actual photo, negative?

Im happy to pick up this tough Mangum for my Series 5 set along with a few others.

Thanks!

It appears to be actual photo.

This Year's Last Purchase for Me:
 

A better card than player:

In today's mail:
 

It's not pre-war, but it's been on my shopping list for some time.

' No "P" on shirt - okay, who can come up with the best punch line for that incredibly obvious setup?
:D

Today's mailbag was kind of like Christmas :) Most are from board members. Thanks guys!

Just got my sixth different Joe Tinker BF2!

Im kind of bummed I didnt get to put a bid in on the T210 Brooks error but this Womble softens the blow. And a tougher Series 6 example to boot. Instantly moves into the favorite cards list. Thank you Lee at SSA for the help getting this card.

Newest addition to my Coupon set:

Tough crowd. You get a BL 460, Uzit & BL 350 the same day, and it barely gets a nod. ;)

Nice pick-ups, everyone!

We would have given you props except that we were unable to see our keyboards through our hot, jealous tears after looking at those scans! :D

Nice cards!

I don't even know why I bother looking at this thread. Everything that I pick pales in comparison :)

Wow! I had to go back to see what I missed the first time you posted them. Beauties! Nice work!

What started as a November $5 show pickup is December's D381 Dan Murphy SGC A!

Did a trade deal for this one, Looking for more!

Can't beat that for $5. I dont know why they labeled it as Ferguson opposed to flesichmann. No evidence either way with bottom cut off. Even then some 1 line bottoms are fleischmann.

Bryan & Luke- thanks for the kind words...I was just checking to make sure the images uploaded properly. ;)

Very cool...I've never seen one of these before. I had seen them checklisted, but never really searched for one. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice Ramly Square Frame
 

Congrats Scott,

That's a beauty!

Patrick

Agreed, not sure why they didn't just stick with D381!

My Huggins & Scott pickup.

Rebel Oakes
 

Picked up these for my Rebel Oakes collection...

Very cool!

Derek- I love that Monte! Congrats on such a tough r.c
Brad- my favorite Cobb, congrats!

I love the Rebel Oakes pickups, definitely one of my favorite poses in the T206 set. Are you doing a complete back run? What's your progress thus far?

Hoblitzell is a grinch - he refuses to wear red for the holidays (mine is on the left). Also picked up my 3rd owner-stamped Chase portrait.

Nice one Bryan, looks legit to me!

A couple of HOFers added to the fold:

One of the 10 toughest to find, or so says my infamous "combined pop report" report.

Nice Cracker Jack Greg.

Love the Cracker Jacks, I need to get me one or two for my collection in the future.

T206 Ames & Willis Color Variations
 

I'm pretty excited to add the Beauties to my collection! I can't believe the condition of them Both!

Wow, beautiful!

Those are very clean, nicely done Darrin.

Darrin - I love the colors on that Willis, that is a great card.

Thanks guys!

Darrin... WOW! Beauties dude.

Thanks Trae!

Hey Darrin, so you're the one who got those cards.

I had planned on going after them, but something else came up and I had to give up on them. Congratulations. :)

Hi Sean
yes, didn't really plan on them... Have wanted to add something like them for a while.. Thought I'd get outbid on at least one of them!
Thanks
Darrin

Titus and Ruth
 

Can't wait until these arrive. Thanks Kevin and Gary!

E94
 

Thanks Darrin. This completes the 6 colors of Bates' and gets me closer to the master set.

Glad I could help Bob!
Good Luck!
Darrin

Just got in my first new T205

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b127/rats60/cobb1.jpg

nice card Rats!!

Thanks for the advice. I think this one looks better than the grade. Other than being o/c, the corners are even stronger than they look in the scan.

Compared to this http://www.goodwinandco.com/LotDetai...entoryid=20200

or this http://www.goodwinandco.com/LotDetai...entoryid=25396

I like the looks of my card.

Merry Christmas to me - this D327 Holsum Bread with a Type 2 back arrived today (from the recent SCP Auction). I'm always seeking scarce cards for my Sam Rice collection - 2 cards that continue to elude me are the 1928 F50 Harrington's Ice Cream and the 1931 W502 strip card - also, I want to upgrade my poor condition H801-8 Boston Store card - can anyone help?
Val

Another early Christmas. My first Wagner.

Very nice!

Here's one of mine
 

Frank Harrington T210-5 Old Mill
 

Thanks again to Jason for this Frank Harrington T210-5 Old Mill which arrived today. Had a bit of a scare when the box arrived with it's flap loose, but the contents were luckily still inside.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all...even the Yankee fans.


Patrick

+1, Great card!
