I'm sorry. I forgot to use the sarcasm font in my post.

You should hope you receive it by Christmas. They are ridiculously slow when it comes to shipping.

ack! they are sitting on consignment money of mine as well, but I wanted the stuff quick so I sent my payment via wire. This is a direct quote from my invoice:

They reflected my invoice as paid last Tuesday night. I guess I'm making an early phone call. Or do I have the dreaded "third party shipper" to blame...

I know. I have a McGlynn and now to start adding the others. First "grail" though is a Cobb.

Big pick up week
Got this SAT at LOTG plus about 19 southern leaguers to go along with the Plank I picked up Monday

The last time I won something from Heritage it took so long to get the item that when I received the package I actually had forgotten that I won something from them.

Paid by echeck on November 10, received package November 15. :D:D:D

I don't doubt the folks horror stories on shipping at all, but for me HA has always been very good on shipping not to mention some of the best packing in the biz IMO.

My 2nd T206 just arrived today. Thanks GoldenAge50s!

Great pickup, Grant! Nice score for your second T206 ever :eek:

Good luck on your collecting quest!

Very pleased to receive this on the BST from Peter Baldes. Thanks Peter!

Here's mine from HA received last week:

Thanks Mike. I love watching the pickup threads, too. You guys have some great stuff :eek:

My arrival from Heritage

Luke

Nice card

E-Check seems to be the way to go for Heritage. I paid via e-check on Monday of last week, and got my package in Boston on Saturday. That has historically been the case with them, so I would suggest that payment method to anyone having issues with them.

Diggin' all the pickups this month so far, fellas!

Nice to add this one back to the collection. Love everything about this card... the two-handed grip, the intense stare, the woodgrain of the bat, the pulled up collar -- all set against a beautiful sunset background. Oh... and it's Ty Cobb. Card sits in a PSA 3.5 holder due to a minor crease:

Sent an email to my consignment director and within minutes he responded (twice) to let me know that he would make sure that the lot would ship tomorrow. Very happy that he responded so quickly and with a plan of action.

That's good to hear Erick.

I like the Collector's Collection tag.

Kind of redundant but interesting...

Couldn't bid on most of the T210s on ebay last night because I was eating with the folks at Olive Garden :( but managed to snag two to add to the set while waiting for the check.

Nice Brown TBob.Thats a tough one.There were a lot of bidders last night I thought you were in the mix.A lot of strong prices last night.

Well this is my first pick up for my 1938 goudey set. Got to thank freakhappy for the transaction. Low graded set trying to put together and this is the first one. Love the looks of these

Just got this beauty in. My thanks to BBT206!!

Rob, love the Foxx!!

What a gorgeous card...Congrats Bill!

Yep, nice Conroy, Bill. One of the nicest looking T206s in the entire set.

Picked up this a few others tough Red Borders last night.

Nice Malcolm, Jason. That was one I had my eye on. My eating lasagna with the folks probably saved you a lot of money. :D You're right about the strong bids, upwards of $700 for raw T210s was a stunner. I was a little worried about the top borders on many of the cards, felt they looked like they might be trimmed but where else are you going to find tough Series 7 cards for sale?

I just received this one in the mail yesterday, 1942 RPPC picturing two Negro League HOF'ers, Ray Dandridge & Monte Irvin............

Congrats Phil! I remember seeing that at one of the AHs earlier this year. I didn't realize it was a PC...thought it was "just" a photo.

Very nice score!! And congrats on the Sol White book (if I didn't mention it already)!

Thanks, Derek! Need to start saving up again now after last night's Legendary Auction as well......

Yes the 7 bills for the Cross was a shock.I was in on it early but it didn't take long for me to be outbid.I agree,I saw a lot of borders that looked wavy.I picked up a Morgan Im sure is trimmed,but like you said,where else are you going to find them.Overall I'm very happy and the seller was a great guy.Here is another I finally crossed off,I have missed or passed on a few this year and didn't want lose this one.

Beautiful card, Jason...love the pose and the borders! I bet a bunch of them would look great stacked up together.

My Love of the Game pick up. Wasn't sure if I really needed it, but I have always wanted an Old Judge hall of famer so I guess $10,000 Kelly fits the bill!

N172 King Kelly
 

I was the under bidder on that one, Luke. Great looking card. Congratulations!

Thanks Dave! I came super close to letting you have it :)

Thank you, gentlemen. It's amazing to me how big a difference going from a 3 to a 4 means in overall eye appeal. I might just have to start working predominantly at that level from now on. And Chuck, you know I love that Cobb. My favorite of his four cards in the set. That is one I plan on adding very soon in the new year.

Ken, I failed to congratulate you earlier on the Magee. That's a beautiful example. My compliments.

Luke, that King is so beautiful.

Rob, love the Foxx!

Grant, congrats on the Griffith pick up. Good choice for your second T206. Are you hooked yet? :p

kamikidEFFL, good luck on the '38 Goudey set. I look forward to seeing your collection grow.

Great cards, everybody! I enjoy looking at this thread a few times every day.

Excited to have won this in Goodwin.

I'm really happy for you. That's a beautiful piece!

Thanks Bill!

I love your Conroy, stunning card.

PS- your Gerald Early quote is one of my favorite quotes too. I've watched the Ken Burns doc 100's of times.

Derek, beautiful looking Greenberg RC!

Bill
 

Nice Conroy. My favourite T206, aesthetically speaking.

Nice pickup!

Love to get my hands on a 34 Greenberg that nice sometime soon

Arrived Today
 

Just got this in today. BIG thanks to Larry Harris for cutting me a deal on Big Ed. Absolutely incredible looking card, just a bit of residue on the back gave me the opportunity to own this card at a price I could afford. Horribly under graded IMO, who cares about the back? Sorry back collectors, I like the pictures on the front, not the advertising on the back (I may never turn it over ever again!)

That's sharpe and I agree who area bout the advertisement on the back great lookin card.

Just had these come in today and very excited to check off two more off the list. The set is moving slowly but still moving
Two 34 goudey's
Grove PSA 4
Cramer PSA 6

Derek,
Your Collins-McCarthy pickup is a "to die" for card to this Sam Rice card collector! My raw example of this card would grade "poor," at best (it looks rather like your Boston Store card of Rice). Congratulations!!
Val

Picked up these two T206 Cubbies that I still needed for my T206 Cubs master set from SSA. I love that the Rube Kroh with the SC 350 30 back also has a Toy Town stamp.

Nice pickups, Nate...but what the heck is the significance of a toy town stamp?

Here is a thread that talks about it a little. I don't think it's anything too significant, but it is well known enough for SGC to put it on the slip. I don't believe the stamps are at all factory related. From what I remember, the stamp is usually found on E cards.

happy with this heritage purchase

Very nice card for the grade. I think you did well.

NY Americans
 

A big thanks to board member Seiklis for working out a deal for these...a big help in my quest to put together a NY American T-card set.

Here's a real nice $-In-Shield postcard of White Sox player Jakey Atz. The White Sox players are much tougher to find than the Cubs so I'm real happy to land this one. And it is also the first time I've purchased a postcard from Luxembourg!

Nice Jeff! I was watching that one closely...tough type-PC! He'll fit right in w/ the rest if the guys in your collection!

Thanks Bill. Hooked? Naaaaah…. ;)

From Bagger's Auction that just ended (Dave, thanks for the super-fast shipping!), one for my N172 Washington collection, and one for my Sam Rice collection. BTW, I'm still looking for a 1926 Spalding Champions - Rice card with the advertising back.

ID efforts welcome -- 1910 Red Sox in Vermont
 

ID's are tough on this one, but feel free to weigh in.

The Boston Red Sox played an October 10, 1910 intersquad game at Centennial Field in Vermont. They divided into two teams led by Vermonters Larry Gardner (shown here receiving a silver cup) and Ray Collins. Hall of Famers Tris Speaker and Harry Hooper also played that day. Joe Wood pitched. The Gardners won 4-1. The teams:

Gardners: Larry Gardner, Clyde Engle, Hugh Bradley, Heine Wagner, Charley Hall, Red Kleinow, Joe Wood, Marty McHale, Chris Mahoney.

Collins's: Harry Hooper, Doc Moskiman, Tris Speaker, Duffy Lewis, Bill Carrigan, Billy Purtell, Dutch Lerchen, Bunny Madden, Ray Collins.

Derek - That Greenberg is very nice, would love to get one like that eventually. I scored these and couple more commons at the Sun Times show yesterday.

wow some really nice pick ups guys. Wish i had some of these in my own collection

Amazing Red Sox PC, bbpostcards!

One more Red Sox
 

Thanks, Jason. Here's one more Red Sox (this one's a photo, sized a little wider than and not quite as tall as a postcard). Could be April 25 or May 27 or Sept 4, all days Ruth took a win or loss as a pitcher.

LOTG Pick Up
 

A few more catchers
 

Excited finally to pick up a Chief Meyers T213-3 Coupon at a nice price after missing this card several times. Also grabbed a catcher B18.


Patrick

Jeff-nice Rose PC.

Patrick- Congrats on the Coupon Meyers.

Meyers T213s
 

Thanks Mike. I was beginning to think I would never win a T213-3.

I have a nice front Meyers catching run going with his T206, T213-2, and the new T213-3.


Patrick

Nice pick ups everyone!!

Finally!
 

Here's what may be my last purchase for awhile. Looked for quite some time for a nice copy I could afford. Here it is.

^^^ Nice! Being a Detroit fan, I see at least five Tigers in there.

wow, Nice Voskamps
Congrats
