July Pickup Thread
 

Managed to win these 2 the last 2 nights on eBay. I've never been much of an autographed card guy but an E96 autographed Hall of Famer was too good to pass up. The D311 Howard is another indication of the fact that tough cards are becoming available and obtainable at good prices if you can sort through the muck on ebay and find the bargains.

my recent...
 

What a great way to start the pickup thread. Nice cards Bob.

And nice Wright too!

One step closer
 

Should arrive today.

Mr. Mailman showed up yesterday with this one for me...

Steve- nice pickup. I would think the number of Hallas available now are almost nil with our recent pickups. Glad you are very close to completion.

Thanks Bob! Bernard and Fullerton left to go (and of course Bohen :rolleyes:)

Steve,
Where did you pick up the Halla? Auction or a private sale?

Halla came through a trade. I gave up my Frank Chance 1917 Zeenut along with a number of other choice Z's. We're both happy with the trade.

Finally!
 

Got One! #1 Most Wanted now off my list.

Congrats Tony, nice to get #1 out of the way. That is a very nice example.

Waddell SC 350
 

Another Waddell Portrait I needed:

From the waning hours of June, actually...

Nice card, Ray. One of my favorites.

Looks like a square deal. Well if you only have the Bernard and Fullerton left, you must have a Bill Lindsay. There is only 2 on the SGC registry (I got one of them) and none on the PSA registry. Is yours the other? Any theory why he is so rare as opposed to the other 1911 Zeenuts except Bohen?

coug- That's one of the few cards I still need in the 1911 set. If you decide to let it go for cash or trade, let me know, I'd be interested. I have the Home Run Kisses Lindsay but not the 1911 Zeenut. :(

this needs to be on the BST side.....

E104-II Nadja
 

I couldn't believe this one had a Nadja back.....I had to have it as an upgrade :)

Yes I have the only other one. The theory, postulated by Matt The Mod, is that family members have been actively collecting them ala Brian Miller.

A couple in today
 

its really tough adding to my 206 Baltimore collection at this point-I have added two cards in three years.

this is the only Jackson Carolina Brights I have ever seen-thank you Dan McKee

Tolstoi
 

Was happy to add this Tolstoi backed HOFer:

Picked this up in a trade. Thanks Mike!

Love this Matty
 

This beauty arrived last week, and it immediately has become one of my favorites. My first S81 silk too. I'm thinking of having it framed.

http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/v...g?t=1278436585

Beautiful Matty! Get it framed with absolute, postive, no-conditions-otherwise-acceptable orders that it not be trimmed in any manner to fit a frame.

T206 Buybacks
 

These just came in today's mail:

Nice card Tim!

With a nice clear image too.

Congrats

Jantz

That McCarthy has got to be the nicest card in that set. That's an incredible image!

Happy to pick this up tonight. I think this gets the toughest card out of the way.

http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/653...qjhiev10ey.jpg

Got a t205 Cobb for a bargain. My first t205 HOFer. Building this set is a long-term project, but this is the most encouraging news I've had in a while.

New for July
 

Thanks to Jim Loewke for these 5 greats!

Nice card Abraham!

Another excellent B/S/T transaction!

Nice group Tim. Glad to get this one.

Nice Dahlen Tim, my favorite 19th century Player. (even though he played into the 20th)

A new OJ pickup. Granted, the image is on the light side, but for just over $100, I'll take it!

Just got this in the mail from the BST (Thank you to Zach Rice) :)

Wow Sean, how did you pull that one off?

Hi Rob!

An extremely lucky ebay purchase! Also did some serious trading for some of the others thanks to Marc, Ray, and Erick!
Just need sleepy Bill Burns and the non team variation F. Smith

Got my first Piedmont Factory 42!
 

I bought a few lots of T206 on ebay and was shocked to see that the Snodgrass "Piedmont back" was a 350-460 Factory 42! My cost... $10.

http://gallery.me.com/kimsummers/100...rass42/web.jpg

nice pick up erick! We both had a good ebay week :)

Picked up a cornerstone for my collection although it cost me a pretty penny. This is, from what I've been told, 1 of 2 known original Gypsy Queen countertop displays.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...GypsyQueen.jpg

Wow Jon, that is great lookin'.

Now if I could just the elusive E94 Lajoie!

Fantastic box Jon !!! Very nice pick-up.

Nothing you all haven't seen before, but it is my first from the Monster

That is a solid first card!
Good luck and enjoy,
Bob

That Matty is a beaut.....I think it's the best 2 I've ever seen! :)

It took me a couple minutes with a blown-up scan to figure out why it got the grade.

Steve

That is an awesome first card good luck on the rest of the journey.

Very nice Mathewson for the grade - great start on your T206 set dstraate!

Part of a large collection I bought. Really love the wagner. It looks like a 6 but has a speck of damage on the back.

Overpaid, but what else is new...I will have another post anyday now when I get my SGC order back, including an EPDG Tinker and Cycle 460 Mordecai Brown.

still looking for an e94 Lajoie

Thank You, Ron:

It's a pretty big deal to me.

Odds and ends
 

I have just been tinkering around looking for some direction, but have grabbed these over the last little while. I am still a front/back combo addict:

Thanks,

I also added a little stack of beaters to play with. I think these have been around for a while, as there is very little "old cardboard" smell left.
I am getting the urge to put a stack together again!

I'm excited to have picked up this card on eBay last night (scans are from the auction). This card will definitely help me in my quest to put together a T206 team set with all different backs...

http://collectiblesauctionplace.com/whiteabf.jpghttp://collectiblesauctionplace.com/whiteabb.jpg

Really like those t206 pics Bob! Raw is in, graded is so 2009.

Agreed. you can just picture someone saving those, looking at em, and maybe abusing em some. It'd be cool to stack em up, shuffle em, etc. Sometimes it beats our entombed friends.

Great colors -- Great mis-cut :)

Another much needed High#

Another T206 for the collection!

Arrived today - the 1909 Pirates extension postcards. They're pretty beat up, Wagner is detached from the strip, and 3 of the 17 players are missing. And I probably paid a bit more than I intended at first.

With that said, it's really hard to find this set, so I was very happy to pick it up in any condition. It's nice to say I have a Wagner which is probably much more scarce than the T206! I love the fact that all of the pictures appear to be unique, and not images you see in many other sets.

Scans of a few of the cards....
