Nice HONEY BOY lot.

Got an SP
 

Overgraded in 3.5 holder but still worth it.

2 pick ups

E98 Coombs
 

My E98 purchase from the group on Ebay.........

First ones in awhile...
 

added to my T206 collection this week with some nice looking examples...one for my Milwaukee team set (McGann), one for my T206 Classic Images set (Murphy), and one just because I had to have it (Cicotte)!

I really need to be careful about this T206 thing...I am starting to accumulate this set, and that may be something I need to start monitoring! Perhaps my first clue was that I am collecting multiple subsets of the T206 set...if I put them all together, it starts to add up fast...

Edited to add: Gotta love the different scanning sizes...makes the Cicotte look like some sort of special size Preimum issue! cool...

Greg:

Fantastic pieces!!!

Did you just pick all of those up or did you already own them and just get them framed?

Hi Phil,

I counted these as a pickup because I just found them helping my parents clean out their house -- we bought them in these frames in the late 1960s. They had gone forgotten in my parents house all these years.

WOW, Greg, that's quite a find and in your family's hands for all of these years. That's a great story and I'm sure you know that those pieces are quite valuable. I hope that you enjoy them!

-Phil

Nice selection of players you've got there Greg, congrats!!!

My 100th Cobb

thats a nice way to hit number 100 Jeff!

great card.

Tough, tough Domino Disc
 

I don't know why this one is so darn tough (maybe because he is a Jewish player), but I was very happy to get this one tonight on the Bay for a great price. Also, gearing up for the playoffs with a couple of Joe Maurer autographed jerseys :D

just need the blue one now!

Nice Cobb pickup Jeff, went for a steal too, extremely rare as you know.

Great postcard, Jeff, never seen that one before.

Thanks, guys. As for the price, I was also surprised that the card went for so little -- the Cubs version, in a much lower grade, went for significantly more (granted, the grade was lowered due to the card being postally used).

Someday, I think, we will all be "postally used"...

...and nice card, by the way.

Great month for a Bender.........
 

Although impossible to compete with TBob's Mauer Jerseys which are the coolest thing I have seen in some time I had a great month for Bender. The blue striped cap Crofts puts a new meaning on OC as in Octagon, but I couldn't be happier with it and it's companion white cap, very lucky to pick up both versions at once that have such nice color and clean images !!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then I upgraded a T227 and T206 Old Mill, I questioned why I was doing it but couldn't have worked out better and the cards I upgraded ended up in great collections so that was a nice bonus as well.

Johnny, Love those Croft's Candy's...

Thanks Johnny. Those Crofts are really sharp and if I am not mistaken the blue background Bender is very tough.

Johnny,johnny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This month's Pick Up Thread has been awesome!
 

I've really enjoyed looking at everyone's pickups this month! (Talking about cards only, now) So many amazing and unusual things in this thread. Some of my favorites are the many different and interesting Baseball Postcards that are coming out of the woodwork, Honey Boys, many beautiful Goudeys, T206s with cool, rarer backs, E98s (My favorite Cards!) especially the Lajoies, and my favorite this month...... the mass of C46s!!!!!
Congratulations to everyone for their pickups! Thanks for sharing them.
Best Wishes,
Tim Kindler

Thanks guys !! TBob I'm not sure if the blue background is tougher on Crofts but could be, I know the blue back is tougher on many of the Caramels and really tough on some but also think that in certain issues the white cap is a little tougher like the e105 mellow mints, but that could be the only one, not sure.

Johnny, those are fantastic!!

I know they are nothing special. . .
 

But they are my first two T cards, and they arrived on the same day. I can see how this could be an addictive problem!

Another nice E90-1

those benders are killers...love the crofts!

I found this in an antique mall this morning...first time in 10+ years I've found a Nebraska Indians baseball cabinet locally.

Dan, awesome isn't that the one cabinet pose you didn't have?

Clint

Clint, I already have this photo, but it's on a different backer....now if I could just find one that doesn't have damage to that left side.

Great cabinet, Dan. Congrats on the find!

3 t-205s
 

I've reached the half-way point with my t205 pirates team set (7/14) when I picked up these 3 recently including the tough Kirby Puckett White. Thanks to you guys i am a pre-war dabbler...

Big mail day!
 

Great Tolstoi Rob! Here a few pick-ups I got today. The 1906 V.O. Hammon was purchased on ebay, the 1928 Block Brothers Cardinals postcard is from Griffins (Thanks Anthony!) and the 1921 Eddie Collins Exhibit card is my first Grand Slam Bids win. Thanks Leon!

player upgrade
 

player upgrade... I didn't expect to win this....

Raw last month; graded this month
 

I just got it back from SGC last week (originally a BST from iggyman last month). The back leaves a little to be desired (paper loss and some crayon?), but the front is gorgeous. This one will be with me for a long time:

Erick,

The Lundgren looks fantastic! Did I ever mention my Net54 B/S/T money back guarantee:)???

Lovely Day...

I love flea markets! The Globe of Mamaux I picked up as the first of ten cards with all of them being Pirates and the most recent being from 1927. The other nine I will post in two weeks. The Mamaux is by far in the worst shape of any of the ten. I also want to thank Justin for the T205 Miller:

Jeff, I love that 1906 postcard with a 1907? and a black cat on the bottom. How prophetic because if I'm not mistaken, the Sox won the Series in 1917 and then had bad luck in '19 (Black Sox) and didn't win another WS until Ozzie and the boys in 2005. That black cat was prophetic! Great looking postcard. :)
