June 2009 Pickup Thread
Very happy to have these two, both with help from people here that called them to my attention or I'd never have seen them:
I am wildly happy to have this one. I also wildly overpaid, but was in "have to have it" mode. I think it is from 1890 based on image and uniform similarity to the 1890 Franklin Young Ladies Base Ball Club cab. This thing is in great shape. The gloss is almost perfect and the image is one of the clearest I have. Really cool ring bats and a few compelling faces, plus maybe the youngest girl I've ever seen on one of these photos or PC's - check out the girl top row third from right - leaning on urn. Gah. She looks maybe 12-13? Tony Andrea pointed me in the direction of this one: [IMG]<a href="http://s675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/jmk59/?action=view¤t=1890CabCardWomen0509875.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/jmk59/1890CabCardWomen0509875.jpg" border="0" alt="1890 Cab"></a>[/IMG] A really cool Alta Weiss I'd not seen before. I really like the photos and PC's with identified and famous (in that time) female players. Assist to Mark Perez for taking the time to point this one out: [IMG]<a href="http://s675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/jmk59/?action=view¤t=AltaWeissPC050958.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/jmk59/AltaWeissPC050958.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG] |

Joann,
That cabinet is very cool! JimB |
Summer school tuition and books have floored me for June. My only pickup will probably be this fantasy card which I created. Unfortunately it only exists in my computer! Hope everyone else has a better month than me!!
Best, Shawn <img src=http://photos.imageevent.com/skybarranch/fantasycards/Chasefacedone.jpg> |
|
Shawn, great card! My favorite player in my favorite Topps set (55)!
|
Very nicely done Shawn. Bob Lemke can tell you exactly how to turn that into a physical card...he made me a similar fantasy card of Charley Peete that looks and feels like the real deal.

|
my pick up...
|
Cool Cards, Guys !
Jason - Love that Confectioner reverse...
Shawn - A tip of the cap to you as well... 55 is one of my all-time favorite sets and you should make that into a nice reprint... :) |
Thanks guys...that is the first "card" I have ever made. '55 is my favorite postwar set and mine is half complete. Gotta love Hal. Jeff, that is your autograph, hope you don't mind that I "borrowed" it. :)
|
Thanks, Jeremy. I'm not quite sure what it is about the card, but it is easily the favorite of my recent pickups.
Great OJ, cozmokramer. |
Shawn, no problem, it looks great.

Nice work, Shawn!
It's great to have another devotee of custom card creations sharing his efforts. My new motto: If you can't find the card you want -- make it!

Jason C: Nice Everett Scott!
Wolfdogg: Heck of a nice Ruth rookie. You said you have been waiting for the Ruth since you were 11. Can you give us a perspective of how long that is because I am still waiting myself... Just picked this up. |
Quinn...
I thought this was a decent deal for $10... read the bio too. Kinda cool.

Sorry, boxing, but I've always wanted this Dana photo. Picked it up in last night's Gaynor/Dent auction:
Attachment 1244 A classic pre-match line up. But the stark difference between the tough and ripped Kaufmann and the bald Sullivan in his bagging shorts makes me :). BTW: Sullivan was a middleweight (won 72 (KO 22) + lost 36 (KO 7) + drawn 42). Kaufman was a heavyweight (won 25 (KO 16) + lost 8 (KO 5) + drawn 1). In this fight Kaufmann outweighed Sullivan by 30 pounds and won by decission. Kaufmann was one of the "Great White Hopes," but never panned out. Attachment 1246 |
Wow Dean. That Young is such a nice, nice card. Not just a nice Young or a nice T206 or a nice 40. It's a really great-looking card overall. I wish all my cards looked that good - especially all the 40's!
Great pickup. J |

I'm very excited about this one. This knocks a very difficult card off of my Jersey City Wantlist.

Thanks Joann, I appreciate the kind words. I'm pretty excited to get it. I have been waiting for a nice Young Portrait for a while so I can't wait. :)

The lovely Mrs John Ward, the woman who donated the Dauvray Cup as a trophy to the "Worlds Series" champion.

Nice Young portrait. I too picked one of those up as I think it is a great card of the winningist pitcher there will ever be. Classic Horner type portrait on a classic green background. Vintage cards just don't get better they only get different.

Jay, that is a fantastic card ! Helen really liked baseball more than your average fan. Great collectable for a fan of OJ era baseball, especially one who likes NY. Are examples of Helen Dauvray tough to come by (I suspect they are)? That would be a great companion piece with one of the Dauvray pins (I'm aware of three from 1887 Detroit team).
|
Joe--Her cards are available, although like most cards from the period not too available, if you know what I mean. She comes listed as Helen Dauvray, or, more preferably, as Helen Dauvray Ward. The only cards I have seen in the latter format are an Old Judge actress card in which she is wearing a large hat, and the Our Knocker Cigar card. I agree with you--she played an important role in early baseball, not only by donating the Dauvray Cup, but by being an outspoken female supporter for the game. BTW, I have always thought that a strong arguement could be made for including her Old Judge card in the baseball Old Judge "set".

Been after a decent one of these for a while.

And that's why that's the most beautiful card of the 19th century! Stellar pickup, Matt.

Anson
Matt - that's a great looking Anson for the grade. Is there staining on the back or a crease I can't see?

Matt- I know you were searching for a decent N162 Anson

Wow that Anson is incredible! The colors are very vivid on that one, great pickup!

My first Turkey Red...
I only have a handful of cards but am fond of the Turkey Reds and have been on the lookout for a presentable top-tier HOF T-3 at a good price. I found this and it fits in quite nicely into my display.

Nice Cobby...I was tracking that card...I like the pose a lot....If I didn't already have a sheet of W590's (not with Cobb) I would have bid on it...

Not baseball but I was happy to recently pick up this N150 Honest Long Cut of boxing Champion John L. Sullivan.
I can honestly say I don't know much about the non-actresses cards from this set, although from the limited research I have done I can't find much out about them. I would appreciate any info anybody has on difficulty, rough value, etc. (I'm sure Adam W. knows as much as anybody about this kind of stuff!). The front is nice but there are two strips of paper-loss on the back. -Rhett http://starsofthediamond.com/n150sullivan.JPG |

I have wanted a Ruth card for a long time. <img src="http://www.thetoyheaven.com/images/items/baseballcards/bbcsportkingsruth.jpg"> If anyone has any extra Boston Store cards (that means you Michael and Jason) I have some extras that I would trade for cards I need. I have about half the set but I think the 2nd half is going to be hard to do. I am also looking for more card from the 1915 unc strip set. I am very happy with my recent pick ups. James G |

After getting outbid on the last two Moran Auctions (Heritage & Ebay), I finally landed this one from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=160340817158 .
I decided not to haggle with a best offer and just said what the heck and "Buy it Now" for $39.99. Now if I can just find that Hoblitzell and Wilhelm (willing to spend a little more than $39.99 for them). |
My latest from the BST.
