Upgrade for my Lundy back run. Also my first Bullet Bill. I went to his high school and dated his grand daughter for many years so I got close to the family and met "Mr. Dudley" through them.

Nice DiMaggio rookie, Rob.

Nice Bullet Bill!

Arriving today...

Attachment 174644

Some of these are from late December but I just got them scanned. I bought the Mathews for my wife to give me as a Christmas present, had her pay me for it, and then got to unwrap it a few days later. I thought that worked out well.

Nice pick ups, Kenny!

So, when your wife wants her next piece of jewelry, will you reciprocate! :D

Kevin,

She already has more than enough jewelry. But I'd rather buy that than some of the purses she likes. :(

Jewelry? Fine.

Purses? OK.

Shoes? Really? Who are you - Imelda Marcos? :D

My first pickup of the new year
 

I'm thrilled to have grabbed this PC 760 The Rose Company Postcard of George Gibson to start the year. It had been on my want list for years and I had pretty much given up on ever getting one. Think I saw 3 for sale in 30 years.

I also like the fact that it is postally used with a Pittsburg, PA postmark dated February 17, 1910.

I'm sure Richard will enjoy seeing it as well.


Patrick

Another Beauty!
 

In addition to picking up the Gibson PC760 earlier today, I also received this nice Chief Meyers T206 (Portrait) with my first American Beauty 460 Subjects back today.

Patrick

"Strike" card far tougher than the other Wags in this set...

Not a Yankees fan, but I'll take these type of E121s:

First Goudey I ever owned was 40 years ago...this Goslin from a reprint Dover book! Just today finally arrived a real one and color and image are super. Thanks to board member.

gorgeous goose goslin!

Nice AB Meyers Patrick. That's a tougher AB 460, so a nice one to grab. It was one of the tougher Meyers for me when putting a back run together a few years ago.

Now I just need an Indians postcard to go with it.

Greg

Nice haul!

Brian, that's impressive!

Casey Stengel Signed 1916 Sporting News M101 Rookie Card with Blank back and with full JSA Letter

Amazing card! Would look great in a black-bordered SGC holder.

He sure does -- that is a simply awesome pickup!
I love the period writing on the back.

Congrats -- now you have 11 1/2 months to figure out how to top that ;)

Cheers,

Richard.

Agreed, that is a SWEET card! Congrats Giovanni.

Nice Souvenir Shop PC, one of my fav companion pieces.

Got my first 2 for my T201 set I'm attempting to do. Very happy with the two cards and big thanks to Keith here for the help getting me going.

Nice Trae, I picked up a few as well.

Always enjoy picking up a fun miscut, thanks Erick

Trae, I love that Dunn. :)

Thanks guys! It's late in FL... I'm Dunn for the night.

Shouldn't you have said "I'm Dunn for the night, I need to take my Heine down the Hall, man, and get to bed"?

TUSHé haha

Chris- nice miscut!

Trae, nice trio. Man are they colorful & vibrant. Congrats!

Happy to help you out, Chris. I picked this one up from Saco:

I appreciate it Jay, thank you!

Staying in Saco, Maine
 

Just went across town to pickup my winning bid from last night.

Nice one! :D:D:D

White Sox vs Giants 1913 World Tour at Washington Park, Los Angeles.

Does anyone remember the make up game between Cubs and Giants Oct 8 1908
 

This game was made up because of thefamous bonehead play of Merkle a week earlier. Im not normally a stadium PC collector, but after reading the wright up from REA on it from years earlier... I just had to have it. This copy has a Robert Reis and Co advertisement on the back and has their name on the front of the card unlike the one that sold in REA pls its postally used which validates it more IMO

Link to read the REA description
 

Love the Fatima sign Jim.

Excellent postcard. I've never seen this one before.

Hey Brian, I'll "see" your Gassler's Bread pickups and "raise" you this Gassler's HOFer! Now then, about that W504 card of Sam Rice that you surely want to sell/trade me ...!!! :D

There is an interesting story about this Gassler's card I just received in today's mail for my Sam Rice collection. Last February, I learned that Gasoline Alley Antiques of Seattle, WA, had several Gassler's Bread cards for sale, including a Sam Rice. I contacted them, we agreed a price, and I sent my payment. A few weeks later, Gasoline Alley refunded my payment with the explanation that they cannot find their Gassler's cards - the last time they saw them was when they did a show some weeks earlier - they further explained that if I saw how disorganized their inventory of antiques and collectibles was, I would understand why they couldn't locate the cards - the proprietor promised to let me know when they eventually found the cards, but he did not want to hold my payment indefinitely. Since then, I contacted Gasoline Alley once, during the summer - no luck - they still hadn't found their Gassler's cards. As weeks turned into months, I pretty much lost hope for ever obtaining this card. Then, on December 24th, when I checked my new emails, I had one from Gasoline Alley that reads "Hello Val and Merry Christmas! While cleaning up for our annual Christmas party we found the box with the missing Gassler's Bread cards. We do have the RICE card. We can still honor your offer of $xxx including the insured shipping."
Val

A few tougher to find Old Judges
1.) Blair w/ Hamilton (International League)
2.) Dalrymple w/ Denver
3.) Dolan w/ Denver
4.) Henderson (non-Brooklyn/outdoor Henderson's seem to be much tougher)

Val...great story and congrats on another rice for your collection.

Rhett...beautiful old judges.

Cool-vintage...I'm sure that won't be your last sweet cap either ;)

Congrats!

Nice story Val

Good to see ethics out there and "my word" still sticks.

So this weekend went pretty well I scored one for my 34 Goudey set and then late night at LOTG I picked up my first T213 Coupon. I'm happy with both purchases. May have to slow down a bit though spending money left and right. Haha

Willis Hudlin R 314 " Wide Pens " Borderless , A Type 3
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...LINPSA_NEW.JPG

...They get the flip wrong or incomplete about 20-30 % of the time , no matter what you print , in large letters , with exclamation points , on the submission form.....they got the year right though . And it is a Goudey Premium .

...And despite the tiny script in the font on the facsimile signature , it is one of the '' Wide Pens ''...So my Willis Hudlin Master Set is one card closer to completion....

..

For Example
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...936FOX_NEW.JPG


....there's slightly wrong , and then there's really really wrong and then there's " WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ?? ".........but on the bright side , they '' Fix It For Free "....and so my stack of Joe O. Vouchers grows yet higher. I am a patient man...

A recent ebay BIN purchase:

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps8eca925f.jpg

Got this cabinet of boy last night in auction, low price, wonder what anyone thinks of it. Love the mitt attached to belt and general clarity. Maybe appeals to me extra as I wrote a well-known book about coaching my son in Little League.

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1421616892

Finally got the signature on the DiMaggio authenticated. It was looming over my head for a long time. You guys have any idea what this might be worth? Just curious.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...ps04099ab2.jpg

Nice haul Rhett!, your eye for seeking out tougher items across so many different card sets/issues is impressive. There are certainly tougher OJs, but you don't see these everyday.

Outstanding Greg. Really beautiful

The team picture is from Camp Campbell Kentucky in 1944 (I know, OT).

That's a tough one. It's really all about the buyer. I've seen autographs of DiMaggio sell roughly for $100-$200 range. Now the card is another story. I've seen vintage cards autographed sell in the $500 range in that era.It's tough to give you a price. But still a nice piece for the collection.

Picked up a couple of new T206s and got my signed T202 Snograss encapsulated at the White Plains show this afternoon.

Great pickups and auto, Paul...you have a great looking collection.

Congrats Val!! Your Sam Rice collection is really coming along!

Thanks Brad!
 

It's a strip man, and I like it

Sweet Joe D Robby. My guess is this would get at least $700, or more. A pretty well worn raw '39 PB Dimaggio, with a faint pencil signature got nearly $600 recently.

Thanks a lot guys. Appreciate the help. Great card though.I was just wondering a price because I haven't seen any originals signed. Just reprints. But thanks itsjclarke for letting me know about the '39 Playball. That's great to hear

Mike, Frank & Derek - Many thanks for the kind words re my latest pickup for my Sam Rice collection. I have been incredibly fortunate to have picked up several very tough Rice cards over the last 12 months or so.

Darrin & Chris - Your spectacular Speakers are special eye candy!

Raymond - I really like your WaJo pickups. But then, I've never seen a WaJo card I didn't like! Be careful - collecting WaJos can become addictive!

Lots of other fabulous pickups this month! The monthly pickup threads have always been and will always be among my absolute favorite threads!
Val
