Ruth RRPC
 

Picked this up recently as I thought it was just cool. 3.75x5.5 RRPC from 1933.

Since it was mailed from DC I'm assuming this is from the first game of a double header that happened on May 31st against Washington that Ruffing pitched (postcard was mailed on 6/9).

He lost the game so maybe he should have been more concentrated on warming up rather than the guy taking the photo of Ruth. :)

Cool Ruth RPPC, missed that one on ebay! Here's a few new photos I got yesterday:

First are two 1919 snapshots of Jim Bottomley (pictured at right in both photos). These snapshots show Jim as a teenager playing semi-professional baseball for the F G Aces. Soon after, Jim was discovered by Branch Rickey and signed with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Next is a cool 1922 photograph (5.5" x 3.5") of four Omaha Buffaloes players. Seated from left to right are: George Grantham, Heinie Manush, James Wilcox & Pug Griffin

Thanks for the cool photos Derek!

Thanks Kenny!

Thanks Jeff. It wasn't up for long I just did the buy it now as I thought it was a fair price for the content. Love the advertising in the back too. You have some great stuff there as well!

From another great trade with Luke !!

Dunn is a Funn combo .... :) .... Engle is quite tough with any mid-tier .... ;)

Picked this up today. Not sure what this is or where it's from. Measures around 12x15. Ideas?

Hi-

I actually just sold that exact item in a local (MA) auction this past Monday. I am not sure if yours is the same or not. On mine the Ruth picture was loose so I could see the back which was blank. I believed my item to be a 1980s or newer fantasy/reproduction item based on the lack of aging and overall appearance. Did you get it in MA? I assumed the auction was going to place it in a bulk lot so hopefully, if it was mine, you didn't pay much for it. I think it displays nicely regardless.

Bought it in RI so I guess it’s possibly the same one. For $1, I wasn’t going to pass it up.

Definitely modern but for a buck, great pickup!

Awesome ‘28 Hafey! I’ve always wanted that card but could never find one. Would love the ‘27 Middy Bread as well, but I’ve never seen one of those either.

Felt naked without one. A nice place holder until the forever one comes along.

Nice Leon!

Picked up a couple more T205s recently.

Very excited about this pick up from LOTG last night. Now down to just Barry, Shean, and Evers!

Didn't get to the National. Picked these up at a garage sale

Nice, DJ!

I normally don’t post until I have the card in-hand, but I’m really excited about this pickup at LOTG last night. It’s not every day you win a card for less than your max bid. And it’s not every auction house that you can actually trust with a max bid! Obviously LOTG is one of the rare ones.

Nice DJ, I was hoping you were the one who won that lot. Those red Crofts are so cool.

Orlando- if I knew how to make a clapping-hands emoji, I would drop one here. Congrats

Sweet pickup! Took a good long look at that card at the National and it is really really nice! I was chasing the Wagner 1899 and went to sleep with what I thought was a safe max bid. It was not. That was a hard one to lose! Congrats on the postcard. You won’t regret that one!

Awesome pickup! Congrats and enjoy!

That card is straight f'ing beautiful Orly, you stole that card my man. I had to choose so I bowed out of that one. Big time congrats, maybe its time to offer you my w601...:eek:

August Pick Up Thread
 

Whoops

Picked up this Henry L.

Wow Paul...

The bookends on this thread are two amazing cards.

Thanks Steven. It's the '27, not the '25.. Not quite like the opening card in the thread but I'm happy!

Great cards guys.

I'm excited to have won this.

Damn Michael, beautiful Tris!

Mike, awesome, Congrats!!

Pretty stoked about this one. I think it’s a full grade higher than anything on the pop report.

DJ, Really glad you snagged the E92 Davis lot. You appreciate these cards for what they are, especially the red Crofts, certainly one of a kind and tougher than the Ty Cobb back or a Drum. Now all you need is the Cocoa, Black Candy and a Blank Back, if they exist, to win the lottery.
My only regret is that you didn't pay enough.

Thanks, Bryan & Ryan.

I think it went low, due to 4 auctions closing that night...or maybe a few of my friends laid-off, who knew I was chasing it(?)... ;)

Thought these were cool...

JKA

Awesome Jeff - Those yours or going into auction?

Thanks, they are mine. Was going to break them up and keep a few favs but really like them all!

Damn, Jeff, those are incredible. Can you tell us more about that issue? I’d imagine they’re very obscure/rare?

Jeff, those are great. Why are there so many Cubs? Is that a complete set?

Supposed to be 50 in the set but think only thirty something are known. Produced by the JKA photo studio of New York. Not sure why so many Cubs in this grouping or why they are all unmounted, perhaps an old Chicago area collector?

Davis E92s
 

DJ, as impressive as the Red Crofts is I am impressed by the Nadja more I think......great condition........Jerry

Thanks guys,

John, I'm glad that is all I had to pay! At this time, I'm pretty confident there are 3 red croft Davis graded by SGC. I also already own a blank back. So a back run isn't out of the thinking, although the VE and E105 I think would be quite tough.

Jerry, as nice as the nadja is, I really can't justify keeping it. I already have a nice one for my set, so would much rather recoup some of the costs for this lot.

DJ

Got this card that I'd always kind of liked.

Damn Cap, nice pick up.

Who is Cap? There are so many nice cards here, I was wondering which one you were referring to, but I can't see a "Cap". Just curious.

Thanks, Andy - appreciate it

That's me - just a nickname in the OBC (Old Baseball Cards) group.

Thanks, I looked through all the threads here and saw no one going by Cap. And that is a cool Weaver. Buck is one of my favorite subjects.

Thanks, Ed - appreciate it. Was glad to get one and I believe it's my first Weaver.

Sweet card, Ben!

Last T205 catcher needed I needed
 

I believe I just picked up the last T205 catcher I needed, Ed Sweeney.

Had a tough time finding one at a decent price.


Patrick

Another T210 catcher
 

This George Kalkhoff, Macon T210-1 also arrived today.

Patrick

Picked up T205 #67...almost 1/3 of the way there!!! This one looks pretty good with amazing registration...and a price I could stomach considering these seem to always be listed at premium prices in my experience.

Picked up my first Cy Young and Sovereign!

Nicely done Brian!!! Great cards man. Congrats.

Great cards Brian!

Ending a long search. These just are not easy to find.

Finally, a card with decent centering :). Nice.

This might be a good downgrade for me...

A couple more to add to the T213 pile...

My two favorite purchases at the National:

4th Brooklyn Cracker Jack

1st Hassan Triple Folder

Extremely excited about this one...

Picked this up for my Yankees collection, Ebay with 10% Ebay Bucks special.

Nice Charles Bray SL Hindu Waz! I like that one a lot.

Great pickups Jason! Cards look great for the grade!!

I am very happy with this upgrade. Thanks alot K!

One of my favorite cards in the T210 set IMO, the guy just looks like he thinks he is the man!

I need medical assistance and quick to help me pick my jaw up off the ground. Congrats Jeff! Amazing pickups.
That Cobb. Exquisite!

Ummm.... ok.... WOW Jeff!!!!! :eek:

Congrats!!!!!

Thanks Paul. You and I know firsthand how much a little paper loss on the back will bring a card down. Case in point, the m116 Cy Young I bought from you. Had perfect centering and sharp corners that SGC graded a 2 due to a fraction of paper loss on the back.

Nice...there goes the piggy bank.

Holy crap Jeff, congrats! Those are two absolutely amazing cards to own (and I think you stole the Ruth). Now you simply must get the Indy set, seriously!

I think you meant the Brinks Armored truck. Awesome pickups Jeff.

I think that Boston Garter Cobb is one of the sweetest cards in the hobby. Can we pin that scan to the top of the board?

wow jeff!!!! congrats!!!!

Nice Jeff! Some modest little pickups there.. :D Congrats!

Congratulations Jeff! Two great cards.

Wow. Congrats Jeff!!!

Great cards Jeff !!! Wish I didn't go into education as a career, then maybe I could bid on some of these cards. Again great cards !!!
