June Pickup Thread
 

Thought I'd go ahead and start June off with a bang. Circa 1905 Joe Tinker Moffett Studios studio photograph. Signed in red/pinkish pencil "Moffett" bottom right hand corner.

Wow Calvindog, I'd take that Altoona Tribune SGC 40 McGraw over 99% of SGC 50's, and I'd say it presents better than most SGC 60's!

Let's continue with the Tinker theme. Polar Bear back.

No Tinker, but a Chance & 3 others just back from SGC.

June Pickups
 

http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/u...s/scan0001.jpg

Picked these up then sent them to PSA. Just got these back and I think they under graded the '57 Mantle. You can't really see it in the scan but there is 1/16" white border on the left so the card is not miscut in my opinion it is off center. The back is centered, card is clean no wrinkels - sharp corners...

These just arrived today. Thanks to Tim at Joe's Vintage for the great deal. I think both are undergraded (the Krause has a tiny tear at the bottom and the Speaker has a pencil mark on the back). Yay for me!

That's about the coolest thing I've seen.

Picked this one up off of eBay. It's a 1903 Cabinet of Harry Howell while playing for the 1903 Highlanders. What's special about this cabinet is that it is an original photo of an original Yankee.

(Not the same card, but the only picture I could get on the thread)
Running out to the mailbox every day to see if this guy shows up...

Perfect for a name dropper like me!

Just back from Beckett, this is a very tough to find 1879-80 NY Clipper Woodcut of HOF'er, Roger Connor...................

I rarely buy cards but I needed this one to display with my TYPE I photo...

Amazing cabinet, packs. Congrats!

Grabbed this off of eBay tonight to go with my E101.

Patrick

sweet photo Tony!

Like the Howell and postcards a lot too.

I picked this up last night on ebay. I all ways wanted this card, but couldn't afford the higher end prices. This is a good looking PSA 1 compared to others I have seen.

I though I got a good deal on this one.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y28...yYoungT206.jpg

thats a real nice PSA 1.. should be a 2

Great looking card Paul!

Thanks, guys. I have been monitoring these cards for about two months, saw this card, and jumped on it. It may say PSA 1, but from the scans, it presents as a lot better than the other PSA 1's I have seen. I will let you knoe when I get it in person.

Regards,

Paul

This just arrived today:

Thanks muchly to a couple of N54 brethren for these humdingers. The JKA Wildfire is way nicer than the scan - much more grey than sepia; the '15 Zeenut Spider fills the final puka in my run from 1911-1938 (and is crying for an SGC slab).

Coupon Type One
 

Got this in the mail this morning...I consider it a T206 and will go in my stack of rare backs accordingly.

Nice Pick Ups
 

David - That Wagner is rarely seen. Strong 2 - Beautiful !
Chris - Nice Type 1 ! Love the Coupons...

I snagged this Series 8 Frenchmen last night for the back. I have never seen a Series 3 back on a Series 8 Front. Very interesting to me... Plus, I have a Pepe (tough card) with the correct back... Still Love the T210's !!

Managed to get one card last night in Goodwin's auction. The tiny fleck of color loss which kept it at PSA 5 (2nd highest graded ever) probably saved me a ton of money.

Chris,
Nice Huggins Type 1. It is fun to watch as some cards make the circle of life between collectors. I know the last 6 owners of that card, and I am the fouth in the line of six that I know of.
He is a special one!

Hope all is well,
Bob

Jeff,

Nice cards Larry! The Schlafly's a blazer!

Nice E-91 Plank Rob!

I just picked one of those up a couple months ago myself, after looking for what seemed like forever! :D

Thanks Steve! I was fortunate enough to pick up an E91A Plank about 2 months ago, and got lucky when the E91B came around.

Picked up one of the T205 shortprints...hope to post another pickup very shortly

Here's my latest buy:

This one is very rough... but I needed it - so thanks to the BST!
That brings me to 421 different Old Judge cards.

my third PC796

found this at a very reasonable price.

1936 Goudey
 

I was happy to add this card:

A few recent pick-ups (especially happy about the Al Lopez!)

I'm pretty excited about my first card of the great King Kelly . In his Beaneater days, as catcher. Love those gloves!

http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/v...g?t=1276012053

And here's another shortprinted T205. This was an eBay BIN I was looking at for a couple of days before I realized it was one of the tougher Piedmont Factory 42 backs. I must say, the card presents a lot nicer in hand than in the scan. In hand the crease is noticable in the gold borders, not so much across the face as the scan shows.

Attachment 20288 Attachment 20289

Very excited about this pickup. Definately the cornerstone of my collection.

P.S. Any info on this player would be greatly appreciated. I beleive his name is Clem Kimerer.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...erer-Front.jpghttp://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...merer-Back.jpg

I just won this off ebay and am super happy about this one. I had to spend a little bit of my termite money, but figured since I have been trying to pry one of these away from a pair of Board memeber for closing in on two years, with no luck, I better buy it while I have the chance. Frank and David, I will stop the every 6 month offers now for yours!!

I am down to only needing the American Beauty from the confirmed list. Let me know if you have one in any condition, please.

Bob

Beautiful cabinet, Bester. Congrats!

Yeah, I had seen that as well as another entry as Clem KiMMerer. I think they might be the same person because the signature on the back only has one M and the Kimmerer on baseball-reference is listed as playing for Houston.

Jason, thanks for the compliment! I really like it myself.

Britt - great item. You may want to pass this Kimmerer/Kimerer info on to bb reference - it's the kind of thing they like to know about and fix.

I'm glad I didn't run you up Jeff. Nice pickup, Bruce is probably a little jealous.

B/S/T pickup. I do a little dance around it every six hours or so...

Picked up these cards to my growing E93 collection (thanks shammus and tbob!). I think I'm going to have to send the Plank back to PSA for a reholder, however.

Picked up the Steinfeldt from forum member bowlingshoegiverouterguyon. Thanks!

Last card to complete T 206 SL set
 

Just recieved the last card (Ryan) to complete my T 206 Southern League set. First set I have ever put together. Wanted to complete and then upgrade to make sure I got it done.

Nice work D!

good work on a tough lot.

Carry on,
Bob

Good job Dynarl

T206 E. Collins, no name!
 

This card does look to be short, but how far is the farthest that you all have seen the name below the pic on these cards? Take a look at the backs scan as all of the factory info is included. This is one funny looking card to me.

I need the AB Collins!!!!

Thanks to all,
Bob

new pick up
 

a few cycles

Congrats Dynarl, glad to see you complete an interesting T206 subset.

I was able to pick-up a nice American Eagle Tobacco Co. (Detroit based) baseball themed trade card this month after a couple year search. Thanks to Bruce Babcock for some early help confirming this was the real deal. I hope to further research the content to determine year of issue but currently believe it dates to early to mid 1880s. I also included the 2008 stamp that was based off this vintage image.

A Few Upgrades
 

Recent upgrades including the rare N28 Caruthers "Alfalfa" variation. ;)

Tolstoi Backs
 

I now have over 30 total Tolstoi backs...I hope to keep the momentum going!

(Scans are cut off a tad)

cozmo -

Is that 421 different players? If so, huge props that is awesome!

A couple of HOFers.

Nice Joe! I've been looking for that card since the stamp came out.
