Amazing WaJo! What makes it a 60? The corners look so sharp - that's one clean card!

Old Judge-Wow!
 

Andy,
That OJ Daly is PRISTINE!

The grade is great but its the clarity and quality of the photo that hooked me!

Beautiful looking OJ Andy, congrats! Have you advanced to a decision on how you might attack 19th century cards?

Thank you.
No, no battle plan. Right now It's what catches my eye and is in my budget range.
One OJ I did just snag is the humurous Nicol/Reilly (long and short) card which is one I've wanted for a while. I'll post a pic of it when it arrives.

Thank you. Best guess is smudges.

Got this upgrade in the most recent Sterling Auction:

Improved picture of Claude Berry photo pickup
 

Here's a better picture of the Claude Berry photo I picked up earlier this week.

It's frame was cleaned, and the image is now protected behind museum glass.

It's residing in a circa 1910 2-door oak bookcase. C46s are on the shelf above.

pick ups everyone!!:)

The Biel gets me down to 9 Series 7 cards to go. Thank you Tom for both additions. If anyone can help with a Series 7 card it would be much appreciated! Thank you great pickups everyone esp. like the signed cards.

Waner Zeenut. Just because.

Just got these in today. Thanks Jerry!

The Donovan is the only example I know of. I have also not been able to confirm it with a Nadja back, so this will work as a nice substitute. I am aware of only 2 Crawford's and this is by far the nicer of the 2. Crawford is also 1 of 2 HOFers I know exist with the red back. It is also a nice placeholder until I can find a Nadja for my set.

Great card! Love the car in the back!

Nice

Thank you, sir.

DJ, Congrats on the red Crofts, those are great cards. I almost went after the Donovan but decided to back off. I should have kept going, it went for a good price!

A couple T3s from the Raleigh show today...

Nice finds Dan! The fronts of those cards are fantastic. Appears your are getting quite a collection of T3's. Didn't even know there was a Raleigh show this weekend?

Thanks Dave - yeah, the Raleigh show that was snowed out last weekend got rescheduled for this weekend. They had it in Dorton instead of the usual building. The next show is February 10-12, they're doing a sports + comicon for the first time.

The T3s are all coming from the same dealer. They're slowly trickling out from a major collection, and apparently the guy is letting them go a couple at a time. They all have beautiful fronts and minor problems with the backs, usually just minor paper loss on the corners or a little bit of pencil. Here are some others I've picked up from him so far -

Hell of a card for that grade. Nice pickup.

Thank you Matt I am happy with the card! Now on to those pesky Hindu's.

Interesting item
 

This pair of cuff links was owned by Jack Bickett, who played with the Eau Claire Braves when they won the Northern League Championship in 1955.

Cj 1915
 

I couldn't pass this one up. Looks so good. Back surface looks like minor ink smudging happened. I love picking up low graded CJs that look killer.

I love the 32 us caramel Gehrig. I was under bidder on a PSA 2 that sold at auction on Ebay about a month ago. Congrats!!!!!

That CJ looks amazing! Congrats, Scott!

Thanks, Jason!

Thanks Andy. I love it, probably the favorite Gehrig I own now!

Excited to get my first Goudey issued card yesterday. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...acdacd07d3.jpg

Enjoy Kenny.... great card. Sorry to see him go, but I know that he is in a good home! One of the key Negro League cards!

Always been a must have for me...finally got one! Textbook definition of "classic!!!!!"

Great card Pete. I've had that one on my want list for a long time too, but still haven't picked one up. Congrats!

Congrats Pete, sweet pick up! Definitely one of my all time favorites.

thanks guys!

Wow, Scott, that's a beauty!

I just looked at all the January pick ups guys. Great stuff and I look forward to seeing what February will bring!

Nice cards Doug!

I had a good chunk of ebay bucks but I'm sure I still over paid as usual. LOL.

Wow, nice pickup Luis! I don't think you overpaid fwiw.

Thanks Luke and Raymond.

And Raymond, I feel I overpay on most of my purchases. But as long as I think they are cool I'm ok with it........I think?

Been looking for a low end Babe for awhile... Always enjoyed this w517 pose

Awesome Kenny! I got my first Piedmont Art Stamps this month too. I'm happy calling this Cy Barger my Brooklyn type card until (if) a better one comes along. They've been tough to find.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/ne...ampsBarger.jpg

Congrats Justin and thanks. They are tough.

haha...better one comes along...thats funny!!!!! your's is pretty nice for a t330!!!!!

Ha, thanks. Condition-wise I'm stoked with this one. I'm working on a Brooklyn type card collection so by "better one" I meant team. He's listed as Pitt Federal League here, but he's in a Brooklyn uniform so I'll take it!

Sorry to bring the January pickup thread back to the top,
 

but late December and all of January were pretty big for my collection, as I picked up numbers 298, 299, and number 300 in the rebuilt Howe McCormick collection.

Bryan let me know about the Chase that showed up on eBay in late November. He even placed a bid on it, just to make sure it didn't disappear before I had a chance to get in touch with the seller. Being so close to Christmas, my wife purchased the card, but I had to wait until December 25 to get to open it and add it to the collection. But conversations with the owner were very interesting.

Then, in mid-January, David mentioned in an old thread that he had found the Miller in his collection, and was willing to part with it. That left me one short of what I considered a milestone for the collection.

Enter Dante, the gentleman who had the Chase. Don't know all the details, as he is very interesting to share stories with, but he is currently building his fifth complete t206 collection, with the first one started in the early 70s. He builds them, completes them, holds on to them for a short time, then sells. Had sold a compete set in Mastro back in 2006 that he says he knows had many of Howe's cards (I quizzed him a bit about that, as I know of the complete collection back in 2008 that did, but can't find any mention of a set in 2006 that did). Anyway, he looked through the collection he is currently building and found one more, the Irv Young, making it number 300 in the rebuilt collection.

Thanks to so many for your help with keeping this strange little (or what started out as little) project going. While the rate at which they show up has slowed, 28 new examples have shown up in the last 22 months. And there are still the 30 I know exist, have seen scans of, but aren't in the collection. Guessing most of them never will be.

But it has been an adventure. Thanks to all.

Ed

gorgeous! I was thinking about dealving into the Piedmont Art Stamps once I completed the Helmar Stamp set...your example really gets my juices flowing and makes me think that I should start on that set sooner!!

As for the Helmars, I only have 23 remaining of the 180 total! Here are my pick-ups from late December/early January thanks to Net54 members who were willing to help me out:

Oh, and Ed, I still think your pursuit of the rebuilt Howe McCormick stamp collection is the unofficial set focus of the entire Net54 community. It's by far the most interesting endeavor!
