May 2009 Pickup Thread
 

Little early but thought I'd get the new board going with a pickup thread.

Bob, be sure to repost that nice green Cobby.

Picked up these nice raw 1911 Zeenuts on ebay this week;

T205 with Cycle back

Hi Steve,
I thought you already owned all of the Zeenuts on the planet....:)

Be well Brian :cool:

PS I think you are padding your post count to get a "Major Title"....:D

DeadBall - what is the qualifier from? front looks good to me.

the front looks good.

the back is off-center, I didn't mind. Even more surprising to see it with a Cycle back. I know it's not the rarest of backs, but it wasn't listed with the brand in the description.

That's a nice surpirse!

like opening a box of cracker jacks !

WOW!

Jeff - you going to pay for that one?

LOL I'm standing in line behind the last four winners of Tip Top Wagners...so that's a definitely maybe.

that is a nice Wagner !!! Congrats

That is a funny looking Cobb card.

Well, that's true. And I bought it on the off chance one of you guys will put a post up in the BST looking for Wagner cards!

That's a nice piece of Cobb trade bait!

Great card Jeff.

It's a bit rough, but the image is outstanding!

I don't like Lichtman.
:mad:

I think Jeff should hold onto that Wagner card...it's a beauty and there aren't too many Cobb cards out there that compare (maybe a couple).

Joe: Nobody does.

Screw you guys...I'm going...home.

Awesome Rob!

I was hoping that one went to you.

(or me :))

I think a lot of potential bidders weren't aware that that's Ty Cobb in the back row, far right.

(BTW: Always looking to trade for Boston Garter cards.)

Ha! I thought it might be Cobb hiding in the shadows...but I measured the ears up and they were about 4 inches off. My margin of error on Cobb ears is 3 inches so I decided not to bid.

That's not too far off - Ty Cobb in a Cleveland uniform in a team picture has happened...

Jeff
 

I know I for one am just happy that your very best card came from your very favorite company. Oh the irony.....

But this is a new company with a new business plan.

Wait -- are you telling me that Legendary Auctions has something to do with Mastro?

When your package comes in the mail, check out the shipping tape. That should go a long way in determining if they are related.

Doug - tough card - congrats!

Amazing Speaker, Jeff!!!

Pssst, Jeff, those aren't Cobbs.

Yes, I was in a lull. The lull did not last long.

Hey, I'm just glad you've hopped off the Lajoie train.

here I was feeling compelled to help Jeff out of an apparent lull.

glad to see he snapped out of it on his own.

Joe, I blame the entire spasm of spending on you. Honestly, you made me do it.

Those are the nicest Pittsburg Cobb and Boston Cobb I have ever seen.

All kidding aside, great cards.

A few new ones for me over the past couple/three weeks..... It's been a real good stretch for me...

4 to go
 

Magie is next.

Nice green Cobb!

Love the CJs!

latest pick-up
 

i picked this one up on eBay a few weeks ago. It was either this one or the REA SGC Plank e95. I thought the eBay would be better value, but both ended around the same price. Both were bargains!

At long last...
 

I've been needing a B/W E97 for years and finally picked one up last night at Heritage. I've managed to snag a lot of great stuff from them lately at really good prices. Another toughie crossed off my list...

<a href="http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj16/sesop/?action=view&current=lf.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj16/sesop/lf.jpg" border="0" alt="E97 Austin"></a>

Congrats on the E97! FYI - you don't need to both embed the image and attach it. Either one by itself will allow everyone to see it full size.

Thanks Doug. In the REA thread I posted the other new pickups this week, the 1955 Bowman complete set and also the E94 Young, Bates, Lobert, Cicotte and Evers. The gold background Young cost an arm and a leg but it's the first gold color variation of Young I've seen so I had to have it. :)

Sweet cards too! Lots of great stuff this month everybody!

Because of the ability to have limited posts per page (which will avoid the slow loading issue of a 100 post thread) and also because we're not using a host anymore that loses the images after 2 weeks, I thought maybe we could try having just 1 pickup thread per month. :eek:

hey jeff, trade you my cobb + car+boat+ whatever, whaddaya say pal:D...very very nice, a gem for sure...

Marty, that is a beautiful card....

Great E121 Cobb.

Nice Ruth Steve! You were looking for that one for a while.

steve- nice bambino!! out of the 4 that is my favorite, love the lime green background..

Delongs and T5
 

I love the Boston Garter and CJ Cobb. Great cards. I picked up these items in the last 2 auctions:

Lionel Carter's 1933 Delong set (Combining my favorite set from the 1930s with the connection to Lionel Carter makes this my favorite set):

Yeah, looks better than the rubber version!

jeff- those are 2 great cars!! Do you have any problems with either one?

Dan,
They're British so they like to mark their spot like a good dog if you know what I mean. The ever so slight oil leak occasionally but other than that, no. I have owned an MGB since 1975 so you have to learn how to work on them. Once you get the electrical issues worked out, they are a labor of love.

Marty congrats!!!!

That looks like an amazing set!!

john- thank you!! like i say i feel like i took the easy road, wish i did it card by card for the fun but still happy to have done it..:D i am in a good position at this point so i decided now, because i may not be able to again. so hence the purchase of a lifetime for me at least...

No easy road taken and take it from a card by card guy of 20yrs...card by card is way overated! :)

a good week
 

I've been busy over the past few days- don't have any in hand yet, but I'm very excited.

Red E98 Vaughn to keep my blue E98 Vaughn company. Thanks Tim.

My First Cobb!
 

Great looking Cobb, congratulations!

M114 from 1917
 

Ebay pickup. My first Felsch.

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g5...114/Felsch.jpg

Got this from Adam M. on the BST...I think this is #89 or 90 in my set. Card by card is the way to go! :)

Edited to add that this is also my 20th Cubs card in the set.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../Brownport.jpg

I don't know how many here will really appreciate/recognize this rarity, but I am REALLY excited that I finally found one!

Finally received my 14th Red Sox T206 back type (SC 350 - Factory 25.) Mailed on March 27, arrived today :eek: :

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q...0f25_stahl.jpg

An upgrade that Ive been seeking for a while.

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...er2/img156.jpg

Love the Felsch and that Matty.

Jason, You waited 86 years for a title... One measily month and a few days, to a BoSox fan should be a joy.

Rhett - congrats! Would you mind educating us? outside of the already tough D350 back - what makes this one special?

Josh, nice Matty.

These just came back from SGC:

jeff l- very cool cobbs, what a "happy" guy he was..:)

Thanks Jeff.

Nice cobb issues as well - do you know the story behind the football squad? What was his relationship to the team, etc.?

Interesting, that's the same pic as on the Susini.
