April 2011 - Pick-up Thread
 

Just got these back from SGC/JSA this afternoon. A beautiful fountain-pen signed T206 Blackburne. This makes 37 different autographed T206 poses for my collection -- now just 13 short of my near-impossible goal of 50. This is also the only autographed Minor League T206 card I own -- Blackburne and Cravath may be the only ones possible. And it's the only signed Sovereign that I own as well.

This Marquard is a double for me, but I couldn't resist the gorgeous signature on this example, which may date to the 1930s.

Finally, the Livingston is also a double for me, but my other version was signed on the reverse. This one came from ebay last week.

I agree this set was just too nice to pass on for me!

nice die cuts guys--I picked up the White Sox sheet from the same seller.

Here's one of a handful of m101s I was luckey to obtain from a certain moderator dude:

It's a T.T.T. kind of day
 

Not really a back collector but I make exceptions from time to time. Thanks to a fellow board member.

Another Hughie for me . . .
 

How can you not love this card?

Hey Jeremy, I don't know what that is, but I like it.

Thanks Mike !
 

Thanks Mike ! The piece is a 1 of 1 Helmar Brewing Art piece. I have bought some odd and end pieces from Helmar Brewing (Charles Mandel) since they started putting out their beautiful art cards a few years back and while it is not vintage, Charles & Team put a lot of work and craftmenship into every piece they make and this die cut cabinet was right up my alley since I collect Nashville/Tennessee Type material/Southern League stuff. The piece measures about 5x6 and has tremendous detail to both the front and back. Also, I like the fact that Charles will not make another like this, so it makes it a bit exclusive. Even though 99% of what I collect is vintage material, I like to stray as a collector... Helmar is creative and brings joy to my collecting.

Thanks for the info Jeremy, vintage or not I like it too.

same here mike, jeremy those are neat!!

Jeremy

Agreed

Ames Buyback
 

Larry, Nice pickup on the Ames buyback. I was going to grab it when my e-bay bucks came in... Congrats

Ralph, this one was purchased with you in mind

Glad at least someone I know got it...

Thanks Guys !
 

Larry - Mike - Joe,
Thanks for kind words. I find the piece amazing and thought it belonged on our vintage board due to it's relation to T206 poses of those 6 Tn players. By the way, Helmar Brewing just ran a few more similar auctions for the other Southern Leaguer's on Ebay. (Texas & Southern League Stars, Alabama Stars, etc.) The die cut cabinets were very similar to the one I have posted. There was also a Sally Die Cut with Joe on it that went for a strong price. Beautiful artwork... I have scans if anyone wants me to forward them (Or post them)
Thanks, JJ

I still love flea markets. Thank You, Mick for the Manush and Hubbell and Thank You, Bob for the Ruffing, Myatt and Lisenbee:

First one of this type I have

Nice Plowboy!

Very nice pickup, Michael!! :) I would love to add a T204 to my PC, but they seem a tad pricey for me at the moment.


Jaybird - Very neat Patsy E92!!

2 New T3's
 

My Dad called me over to his house and gave me these 2 as a gift. Aren't cards the best gift? The Merkle is an ad back and the Griffith a checklist back. I'll get them graded when I have the cash to do so!

tony,
nice to pick those up from your dad!! it's been 23 years ago on 4/8 that i last spoke to my dad, boy do i miss him!!:(

Hick Cady 1915 E145-2 Cracker Jack
 

This Hick Cady arrived in the mail this morning. It was graded Authentic by SGC which must have scared off a lot of buyers. I can't think of a better card for a lifetime Red Sox fan. The card softens the pain of the "lost weekend" in Texas for this year's Red Sox team.

A boardmember recently picked one up, and I then decided I should have this classic catcher pose card in my collection. Since there are only a handful of PCL cards left on my wantlist, and also only a few more cards on my type card list for the 7 major league catchers I collect, I have started adding a few beautiful examples of other major league players' cards such as the Bill Bergen E101 card as well as this Hick Cady card.


Patrick

Nice Cady, I happened to just pick up a Cady as well. Very rare Underwood postcard series...

Nice Underwood & Underwood PC
 

Jeff,

Congrats on picking up the Underwood & Underwood PC. It shows that the image on the Cracker Jack of Cady reflects what he truly looked like.


Patrick

Love that plowboy. Is silly playing on a roof?!

That Cady CrackerJack is sweet. Might even consider resubmitting it, worst case it comes back authentic again.

last month I picked up the 1928 Hack Wilson...and now the 1926

Keep posting the Sox cards it's making me feel little bit better!! :-) Only 159 games left!!

**** GO C'S AND B'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1

That is a really cool piece!
JimB

Vintagecatcher, That is one nice CJ Cady. I would take that any day over a SGC 10/20/30. Nice pick-up

You got a GREAT price on that one, Patrick! Nice pickup :)

One of my favorite poses.

Lajoie with Bat
 

@Mikehealer - That's a sweet Nap. At a PSA 2, I'm guessing there's some kind of adhesive (or the like) on the back that accounts for the grade. Regardless, a beautiful card.

New RC's
 

From a board member (Lindstrom) and eBay (Tinker).

Sweet Cobb Jeff! (check your PM by the way)

Jeff and vintagecather, nice Cady pickups.
Jeff: I waffled for a long time on that one in Mears. Nice pickup!

Scotty: Thanks for the admiration on the Ramly. I love this issue and getting close to the Sox subset. Here is another one that I just picked up that is just like vintagecather's Cady as It is graded PSA authentic.

Regards, Michael

Big thank you to Brian Terjung
 

Some of you may not remember post 16 on 1-1-11 in the topic "What would make your 2011"

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...384#post859384

but apparently Brian remembered it & let me know this was available. So a big thanks to Brian, you helped make my 2011 & I owe you one.

T5 Chief Meyers Pinkerton Cabinet
 

Sniped this one on eBay a few minutes ago. My 2nd T5 Pinkerton Cabinet.

Patrick

nice meyers!

Mike outstanding looking Nap. Again, who gives a flying turd what numbers on the flip.
That card's a stunner...

Thanks Erick and Tony, it is a nice looking card.

'41 Double Play upgrade..........
 

An upgrade for my '41 Double Play Lefty Grove/Bobby Doerr (Double HOFers)........and a big "Thanks" to board member Brad Green.

finished my dodger project!
 

I know it's not a rare or expensive card, but i got this very nice PSA 7 Walt Alston here on B/S/T for 7.00 and it finished a Dodger project I was working on for several months! Thank you~~~~~~~~
I love Net54 and the best hobbyists in the world are the members! Thanks,

Been looking for a Washington one of these for a while. Having Big Ed Delahanty in it is a nice bonus.

nice, big ed just before the final plunge!

I'm happy for you Matthew that you got your Big Eaters card and a shout out to Brian T. for helping you find it. That's what this board can do and why it is so much more than merely a message board. :)

agreed
 

I agree Tbob. The good thing about the board is you can make it what you want. If you want to meet folks, you can. If you want to not meet folks, you can.

On the (Friday) night of the Net54Baseball dinner at the National, with 1 speaker already lined up, it certainly won't be "just a message board". I am firming up details now and should have a final update in the next few days....I think there will be a change of venue too....with an added bonus for a few people. regards

Thank You, David:

Picked this one up from Brad Green!

This is my first rare back in my tobacco card collection.

Love this one.

T206 is ELPDG

Nice Drum!

A headless Boston 1888 Raphael Truck & Sons towards my set. All 6 of mine so far are headless. 4 more to go. For some reason, I really want to put together an all headless set. This is kinda my vintage goof set... Anyone got any headless Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit or Pittsburgh's that they wouldn't mind parting with for cheap?

Also picked up a double of the St. Louis for an extra $1.25. Headless, as well. Woohoo!!!

Sunny Jim
 

Thanks Phil! From the BST.
Been looking for a nice one of these for awhile.

Thank You, Howie:

April 2011
 

More Horizontals for my collection!

April Pick up
 

Great pieces everyone!!:)

I now at least have one card for every MLB Player HOF'er. 180 of them are what I would call acceptable RC's. This one isn't in great shape, but the image of Amos is pretty good and the price was right!

Nice pick up, Dan. That's a tough RC!

Rusie made it across the country pretty quick. Chalk one up for the USPS.

Some more all time Cardinals

Three more double name T206s
 

Two from the bay and one from the BST (thanks Tim!)

My first T card!!

Not in hand YET and only way I could figure out how to attach??

Congrats Justin ! You got your cherry popped !! If you set up a photobucket you can upload pictures to that and then get cut and paste the code to show off your next T card !!

Hey Rob

Been seeing your Goudey pick ups for a long time. How close are you to completing one of the years(or more)?

Frank

A few more towards my 1928 Exhibit set. Figured I had better pick these up before Neal added them to his horizontal collection. :)
