November Pickups
 

Happy to start this one off with my first Old Judge (delivered yesterday but opened this morning) to start what is hopefully a very eventful month! Loved the eye appeal of this one.

Hi Nelson :D:D:D

Absolutely spectacular Shore, Ronald. Congrats!

Although I already have a nice Walsh port in my collection I couldn't resist this one and had to grab it as well. It has a much more greener tint back drop than my other one which displays more of a bluish tint. Thought that was cool!

Here's my other one. (Shown for comparison)

Nathan- That's a great looking OJ! Nice way to start.

Gary, say hello to Howard!

That Eddie Shore is awesome :)

1877 Syracuse Stars
 

Deleted.

Won this the other day. Nice Henry A. Johnson back too. Jacobson hit for the cycle on April 17, 1924.

Tony

You got 2 real nice ones there. The Walsh is one of the best looking T206's(in my op) and those are real nice.

Thank you brother. Much appreciated.

Hello November!

Boston Sports Club Convention Show Pickups
 

Just returned from the Greater Boston Sports Collectors Show at the Shriner's Auditorium show. First time I have attended in about 6 years. Although the overall quality of the show's prewar material was down, there was still a nice selection of T205s and T206s at the show.

I managed to find 2 catchers in the T207 set. Very happy with my 2 pickups!

Patrick

Nathan:

That's an especially nice-looking SGC 50!

Kevin

Another T206 catcher
 

Picked up another T206 catcher, Jeff "Ed" Sweeney.


Patrick

Nice one!
 

Nice Novelty Cutlery Collins! If you ever want to part ways with it, you know where to find me!! =)

Patrick- those two T207s are tougher ones to find in the Recruit (common back) series. Congrats.
Jason- nice T210! Glad we seem to be working different series' for a change :-)
Picked this blank back E98 from Steve on the BST. Blank back E98s are much scarcer than the blank back E93s and E97s.

Big thanks to Paul (Shoeless Moe) for this one. A 1914-15 Denison Railroaders
original photograph with Rogers Hornsby (second from left).

Been looking for a nice one :)

Wow!! Congrats

...

Tony, those Walsh ports are both beautiful.

Jeff, you never cease to inspire with your pickups. Ever since looking at your collection, I've jut fallen in love with postcards and type photos. I need to read up on David Cycleback's writings on photo authentication, but then I'm going to start looking to incorporate some of those pieces into my collection.

Ruben, I think that qualifies as a nice one! My all-time favorite Gehrig. I will own it sometime this year, though it won't be that nice. Kudos on a great addition!!

November might be a cold month, but this thread is definitely warming up. I will try to temper my enthusiasm, but congrats guys on some great pieces.

Screw tempering enthusiasm...this is your candy store, be a kid. :D

I was thinking the same thing.

Just enjoy Bill, its your hobby!

Thank you guys for your comments on Gehrig. Such an amazing looking card in almost any grade

Outstanding!!!

Some trade cards...

Nice Gehrig!
And I love these pickup threads. I only collect certain players I liked back in the day, so I'm not a collector of anything pre war, or even 50's - 60's for that matter. Maybe one day. But for now, love the pics of the pickups :)

Picked this up from Rob at the Seattle show today. Pinholes + back damage + no creases across the card = my type of card.

And my loupe arrived yesterday; amazing to see an image broken down into dots of colored ink.

Found this yesterday at a consignment shop

Hugh Mulcahy Salutation Exhibits 1939-1946
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...BITMULCAHY.JPG

...doesn't come up on E-Bay all that often ; short print run.





.....Do any of you Exhibits Card collectors know what those two little dots are on the top edge of Lefty ?...I've seen them on some other Groves but not all of them ....cutting errors ? Please don't say it's yet another variation....this set keeps me broke enough as it is.....

A good night on eBay, picking up the last 2 Series 8 Pelican cards I needed plus one other Series 8 T210 and a few T213 Coupons including the Leach Rochester and the Quinn Baltimore. The E. de Montreville (not to be confused with the tough Series 8 G. de Montreville) was extremely hard to find.

TBob I'm glad to see you add the De Montreville you needed.That one had some action on it.I picked up this one I have wanted for awhile.

I know it is a pre-war board but it is my first and only post-war purchase because it is a iconic card.

So it is my Shriners card show pick up

Nice card Nelson. Congrats.

Really nice card, but why is only SGC 10? Is there back damage?

Yep back damage !
Thx guy. I bought it the front is beautifull...no crease...square corner.....

A The back is not ugly but have little damage on a part of the back.

Great to see you on Saturday, Nelson, and great to see your new Mantle! You should be quite proud of this one (and of course, of that Lajoie too)!!

Hope you all had a good night in Boston on Saturday before the drive home!

Thx scott ! Yep a good night and a lot of fun in the city during the afternoon.

Thx for the comment on the mantle and the lajoie ! Hope to see you again in april

Another T207 catcher and another new T212-2 Obak back slogan
 

My T207 catcher collection had a great week. Picked up this one off eBay. Nice to bring back Bill "Rough" Carrigan back to Maine.

Also added a new 1910 Obak slogan back with a Carl Lewis (Vancouver, NWL) pickup with a "Wonderfully Good" back.


Patrick

That's great Nelson!!!

Thx Steven !

Great photo

Thanks Jason, I had a huge snipe on it and was determined to get it. It's the first one I've seen in the 5 years I've been collecting T210s.
Nice Manush! Another really tough one, congrats!

Nicest pick-up in November in my book...no offense to the '52 Mantle, Nelson, but Jeff's newly acquired 1914-15 Denison Cabinet w/ Hornsby takes the cake!

Hey Nelson.. Love the Mantle...Great Card.. nice pick up!

Congrats again Nelson! Sweet pickup.

Josh

Josh and jamie Thx a lot appreciated !!

Very nice front on that Mantle, congrats Nelson.

Nice additions tbob!

thx Chris !

Bitchin' Mantle, Nelson!

I picked up a Joe D sorta rookie card:

My First pre-war in quite some time...
 

Very happy to have found this one closer to my budget levels and added it this week!!!
This finally completes my T207 Cubs team set.
It took me just under ten years to get this far, but I have now completed Cubs team sets in:
T200
T201
T205
T206
T207
Obviously lifted the scan from the auction, but Mr. Miller is on his way!

Congrats! What's next? E Cubs team sets?

What's next?...
 

Well, I still have two more T-sets to go: T202 and T204
gonna take some time though...especially that T204!

Nothing like a good old fashioned trade! Thanks, Steven, for this beauty!

Great cards guys! Tony love the T206 Walsh's I love the "bluish" back version, just a great contrast with the dark uniform. My contribution is one of my top 5 favorites from T206. Finally got my Matty, I just love this card!

Great addition so far! T206collector love the Schaefer!

Thank you Bill.

Got this beauty from a fellow member

Congrats Jason on the Miller and finishing another subset...feels good.

Bill..love the Matty...one of my favourites.

Paul, that's one nice looking 5!

Adam your pickups are always cool to see, love the variety.

Joey, another favourite pose....nice pickup.

Thanks guys! I'm a sucker for a colorful caramel horizontal.

Thanks Chris.

Finally picked up my first Collins-McCarthy, and as per usual had to be centered and swell pose.

Jason L
 

congrats on your 10 year quest getting closer to completion!

you should definitely think about a Cubs E set....

tbob..cool color in that one!

Thanks Scott,...
 

I want to tackle the T202 next, and I just don't know how likely the T204 really is, but the E-cards are certainly on the longer-term radar...are the costs comparable to the T-cards, or are there some real "scarcity traps" amongst the Cubs...

I'm open to suggestions if you or anyone else has fave Cubs E-cards that they recommend or would like to show...probably better for a separate thread, though.

Nov Pick up
 

Pick up -

Back

Front :) beautiful card!

My REA pickup just arrived!

Jaramy

Any idea on the team?

Photo
 

Joe - I plan to research, but not sure of the team. With the photo being made by Columbia, Tn photographer, it may be a local middle tennesse team. (Columbia, Tn is South of Nashville by 50 minutes and North of Huntsville, Al. by 50 minutes)

There is some faint ink/pencil with date of 1902 on it, but not sure of that either. Let the research begin! (Also, I have not being able to discern the name in front of the date, 1902...)

Tip Top Wagner
 

Finally scooped up one I've been hoping to pick up for awhile...

Awesome pickup. I think the Tip Top is more aesthetically appealing than his T206. I love the manner in which those cards were printed.

Now go get a new scanner so that we can properly enjoy it. You can obviously afford it =)

Awesome card.

DJ

Tip Top Wags
 

Thanks guys, and Bryan I've been meaning to get a new scanner for a long time now lol!

thanks AG
 

a replacement for one I sold... #408

Thanks for mind Erick! Helps my run a lot! Best regards!

Two of mine...
 

To go with the other 1907 Ty Cobb postcards I have I picked up these two.

Nice wagner!
