pickups
 

Thanks to Mac for these pickups.

Super excited to have recently picked up these two new purple number stamps!

A member reached out to me offering up both of these and I had to have them. I so rarely find these that it's very special when I do. Thank you so much for thinking of me Kevin. I really appreciate it!

Wow Andy, great addition to your collection. Congrats.

Nice photo, and I love the Laurel and Hardy silhouettes that dominate the view.


Brian

Thanks Brian, I would be lying if I said the two folks silhouettes weren't equally as cool as the stadium portion lol. I believe this shot dates somewhere between 1905-1908.

Speaker pick up

Nice snag Michael. I was watching that one too!

Thanks Tony, couldn’t pass that one up

I was shocked to see this on a PWCC weekly :cool:

Sam, very nice looking cards for the grades - congrats! Back in the day, these cards would easily be 3s, IMHO.

Holmes to Holmes
 

happy to add this Gedeon Holmes to Homes to my home---

Lots of great cards this month! Nice Gedeon H 2 H!

I added my biggest of the year! Gave up a number of Ruths and a Cobb to bring in this grail card! 1925 Exhibits Gehrig RC and a 1936 R312 DiMaggio RC!...

Great pickups, Erick!

Thanks Gary!

Campy Pre-Debut Debut
 

Happy to land something unique for my Campanella PC.

A few more...
 

Slightly tougher ones.

I know it's not baseball, but I also know some of us collect boxing, so I figured this would be ok.

I recently acquired this wonderfully cut W565 panel of Schwartz and Stribling. These aren't rare, but they don't seem so show up too often and I was very happy to get an uncut panel of these two. I need to Stribling for my boxing subset from this set.

Not prewar, but finally landed a grail card. It's an SGC 1.

T206 Sullivan
 

Addition to my well-loved T206 set.

Here's a super neat original photo I got yesterday. A kid with some 1961 Topps MVPs and all stars.

The photo is stamped Aug 14 1961.

nice card Brian

Congrats Everyone.

Looks like the Forum had another strong month for new pickups. And I love the diversity of the collections. I learn alot from what everyone collects seeing items I forgot about, never saw before, or giving inspiration and new ideas on collecting

Thank you, Jeffrey.

Well, now I know who I was bidding against. Congrats Michael.

Tough to beat a clean B18 blanket!

Landed this in REA yesterday

Nice!! I don’t collect “modern” :), but I thought that was one of the coolest lots in the whole auction. What a great piece

Down to 5 plus a few I'd like to upgrade.

Nice DJ...Jerry

They look as happy as I am.

Thanks Ryan, it was quite the bidding war. I was wondering who was bidding me up so much!

Nice Ed, looks like they all just had a hamburger at the Hideout.

Maybe a salad.

For the boxing fans in the room.
 

1910 E75 Tommy Burns. Lower grade with creases but still has great eye appeal.

Been looking for a T202 for the type collection and this one called out to me (from REA).

September was a very good month for the collection
 

Johnson was an unknown. Since the first Howe-stamped card I got in 1992, and then since collecting nothing but Howe-stamped cards since 2007, I’d never seen a Johnson portrait. Very thankful to have been able to add it.

Hallman was one of those auctioned by Scott after the Goldin auction that I missed. Jonathan had been holding it, and one other he is still holding for me, until I could find replacements.

Gray and Mowrey are from the recent Higgins and Scott auction and were the two in that group I didn’t have. The winner of that auction was kind enough to let me add them to the rebuild. Mowrey was another that was unknown until then, and there were two in the lot.

Today, Ellam rejoined the group. He is the last of the four Eric had gotten from Scott late last year, and I finally found a replacement (although I think I may have gotten the better end of that deal).

In varying degrees of other good news, I now know the name of someone who purchased a HoFer from Scott who has said he will give me first dibs if he ever decides to sell. I know the name of someone else who got a HoFer Scott auctioned, and he says he will never sell to me. And the winner of the REA lot that has six cards I would like to secure has been in contact but has now gone silent for the last three weeks.

Again, thanks to everyone on the board who has been so helpful in first trying to get all Howe’s cards, then instead a complete set when that became impossible. As of today, I sit at 402 different cards, know of the existence of 32 of those I’m missing, and owner of nine of those. It wouldn’t be possible without the help of so many. Thanks.

Happy to help!

Congrats on those, again, Chris!!

Agreed! I thought this was a very cool item. I bowed out late on this one. Congrats to the winner!
