Nice!!!
 

Great pickup bud! Thats a tough card to get. I just sold the Dimaggio original photo used for that card to a buddy. He buys photos used in cards then will buy the actual card. He does a nice framing job to them to display them. He had a really tough time finding that card. Its not one that you usually can find on ebay.

There is another card with Dimaggio/Gehrig which was made released in 38'. Its the 38' exhibit 4 on 1(Dimaggio/Gehrig/Dickey/Gomez)

Gehrig/Dimaggio
 

Thank you. That's interesting about the photo/card collection your friend has, Lewis. I imagine he has some T206 cards based off of Charles Conlon photographs as well?

Not for the faint of heart:

What a card!! Nice pickup Brian. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Thank you, Steven.

Had 2 of my "I didn't go to National" purchases arrive today thanks to Jay (OldJudge).

Ed "Cannonball" Morris played for the 1884 Columbus Buckeyes before being sold to Pittsburgh at the end of the season with the rest of the team.

Jack Crooks played on the 1889 - 1891 Columbus Solons, but never had a card issued with that team. He did have this issue with the St. Louis Whites and another one with Omaha (still searching for that one).

That right there is an august August pickup! Very nice.

Picked up a few more 1918's (pretty tough year!)

Dat's a Purdy one, Greg!

That green Ruth is absolutely killer!

Williams playball
 

Have had this one for about a year, but wanted to get it put in an sgc holder... Brought it to white plains and was stoked when it came back with a half grade bump...

That's a beautiful Williams, Dave...congrats!

August pick-ups
 

I hadn't checked this thread out this month until this morning...great stuff guys!

Mark - I absolutely LOVE that 1940's Leon Day PC. That will go perfectly with your collection. It would look better in mine, but I like checking yours out every other month or so!

I also love the PSA 1 WaJo T206. Great looking card! And that's comin' from a non-T206 guy.

And Rhett, your Zeenuts are absolutely killer! Your '29 Gomez is a mighty fine lookin' one.

This month is lookin' pretty good so far! Keep 'em comin'!

Fun, fun, Scott

Turd! that's awesome....congrats!

Pickups!
 

Spectacular pickups so far everyone!

Took me awhile to get some of my national pickups scanned, here's a few!

:) :D ;) ~Owen

P.S: That Magie/Magee is making me drool. :rolleyes:

T206
 

Luke has some very nice T206s up for sale on the B/S/T. I couldn't help myself from buying a few. Been looking for a nice blue-sleeved Abba for awhile now...

Very nice!!

It's been a great couple weeks :D

Looking to sell that Leach Luke ;)

I'm looking to sell this Leach now :cool:

I'll pass I've become smitten about paper loss. HOF'ers are the only minute exception even then I'd rather not.

But if you have another Leach portrait I'll be interested !!!! I know a couple other people have them but the Sov just adds to it. Jealous of your new cards that Young is a beauty.

Another T202 Meyers Triple Folder
 

Picked up my 5th different Chief Meyers T202. Only 5 more to complete the run.

Patrick

Scott, great pick-up. Poor quality, but so what? Any MAGIE is a great addition. :)

Luke, that Cy Young alone makes for a great couple weeks. :)

Today's mail
 

Post war, but excited to add this one to the collection.

2 more arrived today and I've finally got around to scanning my Glasscock I picked up a few months ago.

N172 "Pebbly Jack Glasscock" Indianapolis NL
Pose 191-2 Hands on Knees
(Should be in the HOF!!)

The 2 biggies for the month and probably the rest of the year.

E90-3 Fred Payne
Blue Background!!

T222 Fatima Lee Magee
2nd Hardest of the Set!!

http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=18970

A few nice upgrades from recent Collect Auction (all Piedmont :)). The sliver name on Byrne, is also Byrne. Nothing special, but I really like the "bright yellow" background McGann.

Attachment 201756

Fun, fun, Scott

Thanks Sean!

Steve, nice pickup on the Magee! Now it is time for the Henry.

DJ

Love this one.... great pickup!

Great Cards As Usual Everyone. My first pick up this year a Plain Background HOF!

Filled a HUGE hole in my DiMaggio collection today
 

1936 R311 Crosetti/Lazerri/DiMaggio Leather Finish!!!!!!!!!!

Cuban and Venezuelan type hits
 

Camera photo of 1956-57 Chicle (Cuban) #5 Silvio Garcia and 1931 Diana Cigarillos (Venezuelan) #5 Luis Carratu hits. Both acquired in person from the owner of CubanBaseballCards.com. I'd never seen the 1931 card before and only had a shot at the Garcia once or twice on eBay. Great additions to the type collection!

Especially pleased about the Gehrig -- it arrived yesterday after a frantic deal with a very nice private collector.
It's my first Gehrig and, as a Neurologist who treats ALS, it will have a special place in my collection.

E92 Bill Bergen Dockman
 

Picked up this E92 Dockman to go with my E101 Bergen.

Patrick

My dad turned these three pictures of the 1919-25 St Louis Browns outfield that I posted earlier this month, into the framed photo shown below. Wood frames, some fancy cuts, with paint that has a concrete look/feel. I switched Williams to RF and Tobin to LF because it looked better that way with their poses

Jason

Nice Gehrig(and Cobb)

Awesome cards, especially that Gehrig. A great addition to any collection.

And then there were 3
 

1912 T207 Victor Saier anonymous, Broadleaf, and Red Cycle

As always, very nice pickups to all, thanks for sharing with us.

woh! nice job!

great pick ups!
 

Scott....those 206 s are beauties!! btw congrats on the magie!!:eek:

had some help and 2 of them from the board and one from BST auctions in March.

Very nice back run.

Not brand new, but freshly graded and scanned...

Chris
Yikes....nice

A gem it is, congrats Chris!

Terrific piece, John. I'm holding off on making analogies between the Browns and recent Pirates teams now that you're a perennial wildcard team.

1910 Burke & Koretke A's Photo
 

Whoooooeee! Spiffy! :D

1942 Homestead Grays Team Photo with Josh Gibson
 

Just grabbed this one!

You could have compared the current Pirates' outfield to the one in the pictures. Both pretty good groups

Chris--That is one of the nicest Radbourn's that I have seen. Fantastic image, and I really like those big borders.

1880s A&G Dixie Cigarettes N48 women baseball players #5
 

Found on eBay and now tied with N508 for my "earliest" #5 type acquisition:

Thanks for the kind words everyone - I took a chance on a raw card with a so-so scan off of ebay and it turned out to be a great gamble!

Saw this a few moons ago on eBay and couldn't justify the price..... so when it came up as part of a lot, had to have it.

Still paid more than it's worth.

I guess he was born in a Manger. ;)

And if anyone can explain the background going yellow while his head appears ok, I'm all ears. It's the blue, right???

Attachment 202240

Jeff that card is amazing !!! Congrats !!

if you show the back, I will have an idea...

Lewis Vintage Collectibles:

Be very careful with that Negro League team photo, it might very well be a fake. You should be able to tell by viewing it in person.

best I can do with the scans.....

it's like the glue/adhesive drew off the blue, including part of his collar.....really cool looking.
Attachment 202272

Finally found the elusive Chance! Been one of the toughest to find over the last 18 months.

Jeff....
 

sorry to be the bearer of bad news.....the dahlen is 100% chemical damage....I'm sorry to inform you....but still a decent card:)

No No! I already knew that or at least assumed it..... so no bad news!

I'm just trying to figure out how it only hit up the blue color (or the blue part of the green background) while not touching his face......it's really odd and why I like it.

Shag Hindu with Lloyd Bolton backstamp. Still looking for an unmarked one.

Cobb rc
 

Pretty stoked to get this ac dietsch cobb in the mail today... Great appeal despite the low technical grade... And a big thanks to Dave Schrader of Bagger's...if you haven't dealt with him, I'd suggest you do... He's a pleasure to deal with.

Just came in the mail today! One of my instant favorites

Jeff....
 

I see what you are saying!:)

looks very odd! almost "arts and craftsy":D

I like it also:)

Two on the way!

1923 Fleer Ruth. Picked this card up a while ago, but recently got it graded.

Man that's a crisp Camnitz! Kudos!

This and that

Thanks Chris, I have always loved this card.

Great McCormick Kenny - I got a Gypsy Queen of him or I would have gone after that one myself!
