October pick-up thread
 

Ok... so its about 16 hours early...
With this pick up I decided to get an early start for this thread!

1887 Old Judge Jim McCormick

http://www.247hq.com/jm.jpg

another team card added to my collection...

I'm getting there-

bob i think that's a reprint, but hard to tell from the small scan ;)

Thanks mr. Daniels. Solid cards!!......OOOPS SORRY ABOUT THE DUKE..

a Few CJ's

Finally! Wanted this one for a while.

Anthony -

Send that one back to GAI to have it re-encapsulated. Their new cases and labels look great and they secure the card better.

A couple I needed...

Marty, great cards. Tough to pick which one I like the most.

That Cubs Fatima up there isn't bad either. :)

A few new additions, the J. Carlisle Smith is a Standard Biscuit back, and the Wingo has a vertical Witmor back...

I did a little research and found one other that surfaced in 07 and sold in REA. That one was in much rougher condition than this one. All 4 border sides had been trimmed down to the photo size and it had a large 1" hole through it. I went ahead and simply copied REA's description for that one and attached below. This thing is awesome. 16"x20" in size.

"Similar in style to the famed 1903 American League composite display photograph by Carl Horner, this extraordinary photographic composite, produced by the Weasner Photography Studio of Buffalo, N.Y., pictures the managers and players from the eight teams comprising the 1905 Eastern League: Baltimore, Rochester Buffalo, Newark, Jersey City, Toronto, Montreal and Providence. Among the managers pictured in the center of the display are Hughie Jennings for Baltimore, George Stallings (who later managed the 1914 “Miracle Braves”) for Buffalo, and Jack Dunn (who later signed Babe Ruth to his first professional contract) for eventual league champion Providence. A total of 120 different player images are displayed, including many players who had been in the Major Leagues in prior years and were just winding down their careers, and many others who went on to the Major Leagues in future years. Many players in this composite appeared in the T206 tobacco card set. The Eastern League began play in 1892 and remained in existence under that name until 1912, whereupon it became known as the International League. During an era of few Major League teams, the minor league circuits represented the top level of organized baseball for many areas of the country. The Eastern League was one of the most prestigious minor league organizations on the East Coast and was at one time presided over by Ed Barrow. This is an extremely substantial and impressive display piece, produced at great cost no doubt, and one that truly reflects the lofty status of the Eastern League at the time. This is the only example of this rare composite we have ever seen."

i missed out with my $75,000 bid the last time it was up,( brunners young) got this for $64,000 less.... of course i am joking, it is amazing the bath somebody took trying to flip this card. over $60k.."ouch"....

Marty - Those are some fantastic cards, congrats!

Picked up the last two needed
 

to bring up to date my "Winning pitcher of record of a game on the Winning Team of the World Series since 1900" set.:D:D

Nice pickup Steve - I forgot all about the auction ending last night - I certainly don't need 5 emails letting me know an auction is ending, but one would be nice.

Erick - I'm a sucker for CJ's. Great cards!

Finally found a Beckley. Been looking for a couple years now.

Steve- nice pickup on the Zeenut Barbour. I was underbidder and thought it had great eye appeal. I thought the 1915s with Coupons, slabbed as 5s and 6s were a very, very good bargain.

Recent Pickup-

Also have a pretty rare card comming in, possibly Saturday...

Nice Turkey Reds Scott. Look forward to checking out your incoming.

A few recent additions

What an amazing array of cards in this pick-up thread! Super M116 Myers, a pack fresh Zeenut, bookoo CJs, Holy Sh!t, Dan K & Mighty Marty! My contributions to October Show'n'Tell are these yet-to-be-received cards from Heritage. Been wanting an E107 Chesbro since they came out in ought-three; the YumYum didn't get as much action as I anticipated so it kinda landed in my lap.

wow - two great cards David, not sure which one I like more!

I like the Clarkson better, but agreed. Two awesome additions. Congratulations.

who says ebay is no good. My suprise when i got the card and flipped it over:D

some more for my back collection

another one for the backs and somehow ended up with another carrigan????

One of my favorite poses of Cobb. The postcard is postally used, but the good news is that part of the sender's content, dated Oct. 15, 1909, is a nice reference to the World Series between the Tigers and Pirates. I'll take that over a higher grade any day of the week.

Very nice Carrigan, Andrew!

Some early fall Pirates
 

These don't hold a candle to any of the amazing cards previously posted - great stuff! Just a couple of Pirates from various sources..

Trade in response to B/S/T - thanks, Rob!

The Never Ending Story
 

Getting closer on the E94 master set. This blue Chance I bought tonight means I have the Chance in all 6 colors (red, blue, violet, gold, olive and agreen). Still have work to do...

Wow. Amazing accomplishment! Do you have all of the Cicotte's?

My first E90-1....
 

Appreciate the kind words, Michael!


As for my incomming, it has arrived today...my rarest card in my Red Sox prewar PC:

Thanks Leon.

Great card, Scott. Feel free to send it to me for safe keeping. :)

Thanks Matt. I have 5 of the 6 Cicottes, still need the olive.
tbob

Here are today's additions.
Found these beauties at Luckeycards.com
Thanks Leon.

That's awesome! I think the Cicotte is one of the more beautiful cards in the set followed by Wagner.

Scott: I thought it might be an E90-1. The Stahl is super tough. Congrats.

My latest pickup:

There are some really nice cards on here this month. One more stab at the Monster for me. I picked this up at a card show today.

awesome cobby jeff.

I love the scar.

Thank You Buffalogold and Tim, respectively:

Just got this one back from SGC.
Attachment 7657

Not exactly a new addition, but the kind of card whose successful crossover from PSA to SGC allows one to breathe a big sigh of relief.

<p><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/yawie99/currentcollection/slabbedscans/large/1911-14%20T216%20Matthewson%20-%20SGC50Fh.jpg" width="800" height="495"></p>

This one probably deserved the downgrade from PSA 2 to SGC 20, but my neurotic mind is now happy that there are no PSA slabs infiltrating my graded collection.

Bob:

That's an awesome Heilmann! Congrats!

Bob - truly wonderful Heilmann!

Steve,
Awesome Kotton's. I really like those cards.

Tony A.

agreed
 

I agree with Tony...those are awesome Kottons...and I think i can tell that the Young is the paper-like type 3......those are super tough, imo....

and here is a weird one I picked up a bit ago......


http://luckeycards.com/pwgunc1930scinemanualforeign.jpg

Looks like Felix the Cat on the back. Cool. :)

2 for the back collection. Thanks for the cards Rob

one for a cross for the collection

Looks like some Happy Gilmore Style Golf to me:D

Thanks, Leon, you made my day !!!!!!!!!!!!

I've owned this card for years, but never had a reason to post it.
I've seen the sequence on a few other backs, and basically "Felix" is swinging two rats about his head, AND the fellow who is chasing him in your card, is now stuck in a pipe with his umbrella stuck in an unfortunate place !!!! :rolleyes:

((Also the front is "wrong" -- there are no left handed field hockey sticks))

Attachment 7706

#3 for my set and a biggie
 

some new ones
 

I am particularly happy about the Cobb. Thanks Stefan.

Nice Cobb David with the EPDG back:)
