October Pickup Thread...
 

It's late, I'm tired, perfect time to post a card of the notorious "Sleepy" Bill Burns (Ol' Sleepy couldn't even get his glove on properly). Thanks Larry!

First pickup of October (actually a last day of Sept Pickup)

So psyched to FINALLY find this card as a Topps T206 Buy Back. Been looking for years. Thanks to Wonka for pointing it out.

'41 Play Ball toughie...........
 

Been looking for a decent '41 Play Ball Eddie Miller for some time. Thought this would have graded at least a PSA5. The centering is spot on, and the color/registration is superb. The reverse is spotless, centered, with very bold, black type. I'll keep looking, but I'm very happy with this card in the meantime.

my first cb!!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, Anthony. According to haulsofshame.com your Wonka McDonald T206 was one of the items taken in a burglary at the home of collector Lionel Carter a few years back. (Is the FBI reading?) I feel your pain, brah.

Diamond Star #3
 

Just got back from a trip to South Carolina and this was waiting for me..."Gus" Suhr...

My first E90-1
 

1 Grand Slam pick-up just in
2 Ralph this is the buyback that didn't get away

Our only Huggins and Scott win for the evening
 

A tip top victory, indeed.

:D

OTAY!

Tom- that's funny, because every time I see the T206 Otey I think of Eddie Murphy too. Guess I'm not the only one.:)

No chance it's stolen, David. I bought it from a former white rapper with financial problems in the New York Public Library broom closet.

Two "impossible" sets to complete but I doggedly continue the trek :D
Also 2 more C46s. Thanks Richard.

Nice pick-up, Bruce.

Indeed

i have been out of the hobby for almost 20 years after getting burned on a card advertised in SCD. i used to think i had a nice collection and knew a lot about T206 until i discovered this site a few weeks ago. you folks are amazing with your collections and your knowledge.

i think i caught the T206 fever again. Back in the hobby for only 2 weeks, but it has been a pretty good 2 weeks. Thanks to my wife Jeanette for giving me Gaspar and Davis as a gift.

Very nice pickup on the Tip Top Matthews, Bruce. I was the penultimate bidder; sorry I ran you up.

Picked up a few players from the negro league
 

Caramelos are Minoso, Dandridge, Garcia, Daniels, Davenport, Serrell, and Clark.
Toleteros--Gerard and Acebo--Max Manning

I haven't seen many of these and they are fun to collect.

Best wishes,

Joe

PSA spelled Byram's name wrong, opting for "Bryam." Nice.

Wait! I don't get it...
 

David, how old ARE you?!?!
I had no idea you were depicted in the T206 set! That is phenomenal...I can't find you in the Pop reports at all...that must be a SP, huh?

:D:p:rolleyes:

I was a twinkle in my Grandpa's eye back in '08. That's how old I am.

I've been looking for the rumored Wonka McDonald Buyback card for years as well. Let me know if you ever list on B/S/T board...:D

John - Nice T205 McConnell Buyback still waiting to get my wins.

Get well soon to all those with medical bills. Hopefully you will be back to winning (and paying for) ultra rare high grade cards in the near future.

Pure gold.

Thanks to Tim for the Willis.

These recent pick-ups/winnings confirm the fact that I have no focus whatsoever...but I like 'em.

Not a bad start!:d

Nice Sovereign haul, Robert. Are you working on a Sov. set?

Focus is overrated. Nice pickups!

.
 

Thanks Jason. I'm not working on a Sov. set, but I am working on a low grade set with particular attention to the backs. So far half of my cards are Sovereign, but I really just want a nice mix of different backs.

Some pick-ups from a local non-sports card show. I'm making more purchases from these small shows than I have been at the Philly show...

Thanks Keith, this gets me closer to completing this set. :D

Great pick-ups everyone! Thought this T207 looked really sharp.

Nice card, Bob! I have a lower-grade McGinnity from this set (I think it is SGC 20) - they are tough cards in mid-to-high grade.

Cheers,
Blair

Just picked this up in the B/L auction sunday night because, because, because, well, just because I thought it was cool! Does anyone have much information on these notebook covers (i.e. checklist, scans, etc)? Thanks for the help!

Must be a story behind that statement. My advice is: Be careful. You're running out of auction houses! :D:D:D

pickup
 

b&l auctions: 3 Conlons of T206 players and a unique E121 Herpolsheimer of

98 more Diamond Stars...
 

My latest pickups...I'm amazed the Louis Chiozza didn't grade higher...it's a sweet lookin' card. Maybe its the holder???

I finally bought a Shag!!
 

I have been searching for a long time, and am very happy with this one. Thanks for looking!

Very fortunate to pick this up raw.

It will be going back for the correct label.
