Baseball been berry, berry good to you.

Nice Jeff.

So you're buying Ruth's now too? That's great...

Wow, incredible pickups, Jeff.

Not scoffing at that Ruth in the least but the BG card is fan f'n tastic. Love every one of those.

Jeff, any chance I could have the name of your stock broker? Please? Gotta be the pickup of the year. Congrats. John

Not a pick up per se, but I finally have all of my T206 Highlanders in SGC Holders as of yesterday!

Jeff, wow!! Amazing pickups, congrats!

Two amazing cards....Congrats

So you're the guy I was bidding against! :D (I wish!)

Great cards, Jeff!

By my count, I'm the 20th to congratulate Jeff for his fantastic pick ups!

But Jeff, what I really want to know is, how could you refrain from picking up the Boston Garter of WaJo to go along with the BG of Cobb? :)

God damn....just daaaaaamn.

Didn't have the legendary month Jeff had, but I'm not complaining:)

Great postcard!! Congrats.

and a few measly T205s.... (head hanging low following the above :()

Damn you Heritage!

The baseball card gods are smiling kindly upon August. Holy shnikes.

Lol amazing

Love that Boston team PC Pete!! Great pick up!!!

Congratulations!

I never really liked the strip cards very much, but this is one way to pick up an early Ruth at a reasonable price. Plus, the card actually has better colors than seen in the picture.

I refuse to post any of my modest pick-ups from this month after seeing all the eye-candy from the previous few pages. Congrats to you all!

Ha, same.

Jesus Pete! Are you buying one per son on these too??? Congrats

This has been a good month indeed for members of our forum. Congrats Ryan.

Already have dibs on Pete adopting me.

nice try Jeff!!!! I'm first in line!

I felt the same way, but went ahead and posted that strip card Ruth knowing it was going to look pretty modest in comparison. Those are some killer pickups this month everyone! :)

Fantastic piece, love it

Another killer month, nice job Ryan

Wait, Pete, is that your second 1915 Ruth PC? I recall you posting one a little while ago, this is a different/second one? If so, you are an absolute beast (you’re a beast anyway even if its your only one).


And thanks all for the kind words.

Another "0" number 1887 Old Judge knocked off the want list:

Baseball players sure dressed funny back then.:D

Yes, he played for the Striped Sox. They were a low budget team who could not afford pants or jerseys, only hosiery.

Frederick Foto Babe Ruth
 

Just picked this up.

Wow....

Dang!
What an incredible month for pickups. Sweet Ruth!

Ethan-If Frederick Photos were issued in 1921 why do they have Ruth in a Boston uniform? Also, any idea how these cards were distributed?

Nice cards all, I traded in some Genworth Financial stock for the Ruth...

I assume that they used an older photo just like E121s, M101-6 and other cards that were issued a year or two after Ruth was traded to the Yankees.

From what I can recall, Frederick Foto was a Northern California company and was the photographer of the Sacramento Senators. Many of the cards in the set picture PCL players, so that makes sense.

Frederick Foto Babe Ruth
 

Yes, I think that Kevin has it right on this issue. The cards are very scarce. I believe only a few Ruth's have been graded by SGC and PSA. Love the pose, size of the card and the image of him with a bat in a Red Sox uniform.

Thanks guys! This is luckily my second one. Orlando my plan wasn't to get one per son lol, but that would be great! I traded Ethan my Frederick Foto for the PC, so it worked out well for both of us. Ethan that's a fantastic card.

Ryan, and everyone, super pickups this month. The hobby is doing well in August!

Interesting!!! I think you guys should share the logistics of said trade on the BST, in its own thread...kind of a reverse sale thread...outlining every penny allocated!

Pete-Great trade!

Huggins & Scott pickup

About two months back I was able to knock off most of the Billy Nash cards and variations I needed in a fantastic deal with a very cool Net54'er. This one being my favorite of the bunch. Thank you!

Great pickup Jason. Obviously, that is Nash tagging Radbourn.

Thank you Jay. For some reason SGC wouldnt slab it that way. I had it on the submission form.

Wow, the 54`ers are hotter than ever, fantastic items guys ! Special kudos to Ethan and that beautiful Foto Ruth. Really enjoy seeing the Babe in a Boston uniform. GO SOX............................ !!!

Love the '10 Pirates Spring Training cabinet photo!

Thanks! My favorite Ruth card.

I get a warm fuzzy feeling when something I have sold deserves a post in this thread. Hopefully everyone is happy with items they have purchased from me.
:)

Good to hear it pleased you, Brian. Here is another pickup which I also hope left the seller with a good feeling:

Picked up the original Bill Bradley from Jim (JimmyD99)

Lichtman- sick pick ups, congrats, bud. Nicest examples of both I’ve seen.

John Tiedemann HRK
 

Upgraded my John Tiedemann Home Run Kisses card.

Corners and color on this are fabulous.

Cobb Red Port
 

Been wanting this in a Sov back and finally grabbed one.

Great card Brian!

This is a crazy month for p/u's, nice cards for sure. Like the Cobby Brian.

This came this weekend, the slab is huge, 5/8" thick and could probably be used as a weapon. I believe this to be Wags earliest image and he is still with Louisville prior to the 16 team expansion about to take place. Super clean image and a great bio on the back. I had to build a shelf in the safe so it would fit, pretty stoked to say the least. Sorry for the huge images.

Very nice! Definitely his earliest individual image, although I believe the 1898 National Copper Plate would be considered his “rookie”. Given that it’s the same image and you got it for considerably less dough, I’d say you got yourself a great item there! Yes, those BGS slabs are ridiculous, but they’re the only TPG that will grade this issue (not that it’s necessary).

For what it’s worth, there are a few team cabinets and pins that have images that pre-date his M101 image (1895 Warren and 1896 Paterson teams come to mind), but who cares? Your piece kicks arse!!! That would look great in any collection!!!

Thanks Derek, I don't know about those other images? Im assuming those items must be pretty tough, Ill have to keep my eye out...but wow, minor league images from 1895?

So the mail lady came again, she is being nice to me at the moment.

Damn Steve, those are awesome. Congratulations. Is the Wagner from LOTG? Unreal piece, that is high on my list (one day.....)

Thanks Ryan, yup straight from Al.

We'll have another outstanding Wagner item in November, stay tuned... :)

Check out this awesome blog with excellent images of both of those teams:

This "Arndt" the only one ..... ;) ..... and neither is Mullen .... but both nice combos .... :)

Attachment 327032


Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Congratulations Steven!!! Love those pickups man.

Very nice Arndt. I think that's the only back of his that I don't have other than the Broad Leaf that I probably won't ever get.

I am glad you won that! I had an early bid on it and was watching. Great piece.

Jeff, looking forward to whatever Wagner items you have in November.

That an amazing story with amazing images. The amount of research in that seems overwhelming mind blowing, thanks for sharing.

Orly - Thanks dude.

I'm broke, but happy :D These were found together at a flea market in York, PA and then graded at the National.

a flea market? did you pay flea market prices?:)

they're fantabulous btw!

No, I bought them from the guy who found them, and he paid flea market prices. He said the seller didn't realize the back was anything special. Which makes me think the two cards have probably been together for a long time. Maybe even ever since they were pulled from a pack.
