August Pickup Thread
 

I'll start things off with this one.

Picked this up from a board member in July, just back from SGC today.
Grimes RC

Well loved. :)

Very nice pickups so far... Mine will come in later this week, but I won't get the chance to post them then, so here goes:

Pre-War from Bagger's Auction:

Post-War: I received these from the winner of the Leland's Sal LaRocca collection:

I now have 5 of the 13 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson's... ironically, I still don't have the most common of the 13 (fasc. signature).

Double post.

1915 Susini (Cuban), featuring Tris Speaker and Red Murray.

Lovely Day...

Noticed a new card shop opened in a small town today. Stopped and the guy had 90% new stuff, some 50-70's and just three tobacco cards. A trimmed American Caramel, a beater T206, and this one:

Nice pickup Cozmo! Congratulations.

Graded T210's
 

Two are actually from July:

Munson Series 7 PSA 3.5
Bowen Series 2 GAI 3.5 (Double checked card, it looked short in holder, but size is 100% correct size, compaired it too many raw T210's :D)

Came Today August 1

Harrington Series 5 SGC 30

August Pick Up :
 

Pete Sweeney :

Won a few d322's, a t215, a t213, but more importantly got this e104 plank. Funny story: I wanted this card really badly, than got it, and than stressed myself out trying to sell it to go after the Goodwin Plank in much nicer condition. Moral of the story - if you won something you really love, don't get greedy just enjoy it.

Nice liefield! That one and fred parent are the two signed t206s I wNt the most.

Iggyman

Love that postcard...never seen one like that before...nice collector's item!

George, If you're selling that Carolina Brights, then I'm your man! ;)

Nice cards guys,

Mike

Thanks Mike. Still trying to figure out my collecting habits with these cards which has proven to be a challenge as I appear to be all over the place. Will let you know if I consider selling it. Take care.

George

a nice Goudey

Got this one recently

The Goudey is from the recent Baggers auction.

A few more signed T206 cards...

That's one heck of a "6" Trae, looks more like a strong "7"

August Pick Ups
 

Peck was a find at the National and Buck came through two Net54 board members (thanks!)...now I need to find Ten Million (either the player or the dollar figure)

Thanks, Patrick! If it weren't for that one top corner "touch", I think it would be a 7 for sure.

Tony, beautiful Bender!!

T227 Cobb
 

National pickups and a grading...
 

Guys.........I picked up 3 of these lower grade E95's at the National for my set (the Reulbach is from a board member)..... the E100 Weaver is actually a pickup from just before last Christmas that I never posted, as I was waiting to get it graded at the National. I was hoping for the 4 and was obviously very pleased.

Matt

E95s
 

Hey Matt,

Those E95s are beautiful. Especially the Matty. Looks like you had a great Nationals. Congratulations.

Joe

Latest T206 double name
 

Just received in the mail; I seem to get pickier and pickier about these cards. Really like this one.

wow... great Weaver!

A National Pick Up

Picked this one up at the National, it's a 1937 Rochester Red Wings premium w/Walter Alston (front row, second from right) pictured during his second season in professional baseball..............

That Weaver is Awesome!!
 

Matt,
That Bishop Weaver is OUTSTANDING! What a great pickup! Great talking with you at the Dinner Friday night.
Take Care,
Tim

National pickups
 

Got a couple of cards for my type set (sorry for the large pics). :o

I purchased this one from Roger Neufeldt...

looks like i'm back in the T206 rare back game...thanks to Scott L., Mike H., Michael G. & Joe's Vintage! (sorry for the fuzzy pics & scans, i need to do new scans). feel free to PM me if you have any rare backs for sale or trade.

Upgrade Coveleski RC (great transaction from a N54'er)

Thank You, Allen:

T210 Orange
 

Picked up my first Orange T210. Big Thanks to Frank Wakefield.

http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...SCAN0561-1.jpg

Glad you like it Dan!

Convention pickups
 

I was able to add an E94 Cobb to the master set, pick up some tough T210 Series 5s and 6s, grab a beautiful Weaver from the T207 set, get another couple of Mattys and a Cobb and finally top it off with a T213-3 Coupon Kelley.

Gees Bob, nice haul. I'm happier and happier every time I see a T213-3 Kelley that he's 'named' as being with NY.

Regards,

Richard.

It has been a good month for signed T206 cards.... And, I didn't even go to the National!

Hey Daryl! Looks like your Blackburne has the rare Apple variation. :D Congrats on the pickups!

Best,

Andy

LOL Andy how goes it man?! I thought we might bump into each other at the dinner! Yeah, I have to get a scanner; taking pictures with the iPhone is getting old! :D

Cool signed Doyle

My National Pick-ups
 

I bought these cards from Chris Buckler and his wife as well as from Dave Shraeder of Bagger's Sprotscards. I paid $225.00 for each Cobb, about $30.00 for the common t206, and $80.00 plus trade for the Cy Young.

Thanks Richard I appreciate the comment. Now if I could just find the last 4 C46s I need I would really be a happy guy! (Taylor, Byram, Corcoran and Malarkey)
Bob M.

Been a busy month for me...just getting back into it after a hiatus. I really need to pick a collecting direction otherwise I'll end up with a mess of cards and no strucutre :D. Nevertheless, I'm especially happy with the Speaker...been wanting one of them for a long time. All via the BST.

Bill

Bill, all nice cards! Congratulations!
It looks like you should go after the T206 set since you already have 2 cards!

Yeah...I used to have most of the HOF portraits and many others but sold them off a few years back. Now my interest is changing again. These DAMN cards! :)

ed's t206 howies and your signed t206 quest are my 2 favorite things going in the hobby P

Not exactly pre-war....
 

.... but close. Here is a pick-up from the National that I am pretty psyched about. Thanks to Tony Arnold for this one.
