January Pickups
 

Bought it in November but it got hung up at my local post office for nearly a month until it finally made its way to me on Monday:

Nice Pickup
 

Adam,

Nice pickup on the Meyers' Darby chocolates. I was tempted to bid myself but decided I was already over budget this year. I'm glad I didn't help jack up the price on you.

Congrats,


Patrick

One of the nicest 1941s?

It's only a 6 in the Cronin wow thought it be higher than that. Well still nice

Agreed Adam. Nice.

My first ever Eastern Exhibits arrived in the mail today.

You're welcome:) they went cheap IMO..:( I hope you like them!

Thank you for the Eastern Exhibits. Didn't realize they came from a board member. I agree, I got them cheap.

Paul

Technically purchased at the very end of December, but it didn't make it to the Dec. thread.

Gives me my second Greenberg signed vintage card, and 7th Greenberg autograph

Nice low grade Young

King Kelly
 

Received this from Luke Keeler who offered it to me after having won it in a Love of the Game Auction. Thanks Luke!

Nice Kelly, Dave! Enjoy :-)

Few pickups I got from Sterling's last auction...

Got my first PSA 7 Goudey for my 34 Set. Also one of new favorite cards in my collection. I also snagged a 38 Goudey for my set. One lot I just had to score was the N28/N29 lot of 12. Rough shape cards but I don't care just love the Ginter stuff. Backs are rough but the fronts aren't as bad. Sending them out to SGC to be graded. Yea they will come back with a low grades but they look so much better when they are encapsulated.

Another Louisiana item
 

S72-3a

^^ Rick, that back is so totally cool!

Thanks
 

Thanks, Paul. Leon has the S74 with the same back but with baseball players on the front. They are even cooler!

Rick

another T213-2 NYA
 

another T213-2 NY American...not pretty but it'll have to do from a budget perspective.

Nice Coupon, Mike. I've seen and own far worse than your example. It's also not the easiest team variation to find.

1908 Suhling Co. Chicago Cubs Postcard and William Sunday PC

T206 number 7. It's in the blood now. There is no stopping the monster.

My last two pickups from 2013; a duplicate e92 Nadja, and while not quite as difficult as a Nadjas, a not very common blue Crofts Candy.

Picked this up last night.
 

Picked this up from the small traditions auction last night. Just adding to my 07 Cobb team variations.

Those blue crofts candy backs are tough...nice one even though the front reminds me of tennesse tuxedo!

Just got a couple nice looking low grade 1915 CJ's to go towards the set from a fellow board member....

On the way from Rhys via B/S/T...

E93 Red Dooin
 

Thanks to Lee at Sterling Sports Auctions for this E93 Red Dooin.


Patrick

3 new ones. I like the ZeeNuts where you can see the front of the jersey. The Otey is downgraded for an erased pencil mark on back. Charlie Duke, the 10th of 12 men to walk on the moon. Those guys are REAL heroes to me. My only post war card unless I get the other 2 moonwalkers from that set (Mitchell & Aldrin).

Hey Jeff
 

I see that. Wonder if they did variations in one run or these were printed at two different times. Love all your Cobb stuff by the way. I'll get there some day.

Just received this Pfeffer AB 460 today to go along with my Pfeffer Sov 460. Looks like I might have the start to a back run...

Sharp cards Nathan.

Congrats on the AB, Nathan...good to get a toughie out of the way.

Love the Otey, Tony...I love when the appeal far exceeds the grade!

thank you sterling auction

For sheer cojones per capita there aren't braver men than the ones who were willing to sit on top of a rocket then fly a quarter of a billion miles through space each way in a vehicle with the computer power of an old lap top to guide them, and then step onto the surface of an unknown environment where one misstep = death.

Here's a neat cabinet photo I just snagged. What I wouldn't give for that big circular shaped Piedmont box display in the back ground. Looks to be some sort of convention. The Piedmont banner runs the entire length of both booths. Cabinet measures out at 12 x 14.

My first Matty:

tony a...that's sooo cool!!! With those premiums hanging... I'd have to imagine there are baseball cards in those displays...if we could only see them!

Thanks Pete. If a time machine existed this is no doubt an event I'd like to visit.

My January Keeler pick up! Not really pre-war but kinda cool.

My first 2014 pick up

http://i55.servimg.com/u/f55/11/52/54/64/hubbel10.jpg

Not a card but my first magazine from my subscription. Something that will actually get me to read something. Thanks to Leon for the heads up on this should be a good read.

Another for my new subset.Thank you Mark.

Adam----that would be a quarter of a MILLION miles

The Evers I got last month but the Tinker & Chance arrived today.

Million, billion; it was a government program, so what's the difference?

Awesome; one of the first T206 groups I put together and definitely one of the most enjoyable to own.

Awesome Gehrig!

Nice Gehrig. One of my top 5 cards in the hobby.
Enjoy

My recent Dockman pickups. Crossovers from SGCs purchased from David James.

Maybe it's because I didn't sleep much last night, but those background colors of the Cubs double-play masters reminded me of something:

Attachment 128057

T205 #27
 

Thanks to Mike Healer for this Hall of Famer...

http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...14/brown-cycle

I didn't see it that way...very clever.

Thanks to Pete C for the best looking 35 I've ever seen!

Picked up a great looking Jake Atz PSA 3 on the B/S/T board. Thanks t206blogcom!

Rich

I noticed the same thing when I saw them put together, but the famous trio should be Tinker to Evers to Chance. The yellow and green are simply out of order!

Just added a nice Willard's Connie Mack

Enjoy Rich!

Nice Dave!

Here are three I just got back
 

I'm actually selling these to pay for a few more I just purchased. Oh what a vicious cycle. lol

Tougher Cobby

M116
 

Picked up my first Cornelius McGilligicuddy..

Love those born/died in Richmond players.I also picked up a much wanted card today from a great member and will post it once it is in hand!

Real photo postcard of the 1906 Bridgeport Orators, featuring HOFer Jim Orator O'Rourke and his son Queenie. Thanks Brian!

Jay:

Nice pickup!

Kevin

Centering = Bananas
 

I know this is seemingly not the splashy pickup, but to me, this is one of my best cards. The thick and dead centered borders on this baby ooze eye appeal, to me. And the image is bright and clean.

Some of the most serendipitous spider wrinkles ever conspire to make this baby a relatively cheap 1.5!

Bear in mind that the left inner ridge of the holder is obscuring but a sliver of the left edge.

I've shopped for this card for some time, and these full even borders just called out to me ;)

M101-6
 

Thanks Rhys and Karthik for my four newest M101-6s; I am up to 22 of these and am hooked. Sorry for the crappy pic!

awesome Chris!

Chris - great cards. Finishing that set would be a real "monster"

Agreed

This E92 Tinker is in the mail headed my way as of this morning. (Sorry for terrible pic)

Chris, there are no crappy pictures, just crappy cards. The photo is ok, but the cards are the opposite of crappy...nice collecting feat so far!

Brian

Pete
 

Pete - I Love that Cobb!

.

Koester stamp?
 

Brian...are you able to make what is stamped on the back of your Koester's Bread card of Alex Ferguson? The scan is pretty light. Is it some sort of redemption offer from the company?

Brian

Brian,

Here is what I have been able to decipher from the back of the card:

"Most prominent movie actors and actresses in the country. We have made up an album which will hold the complete (obliterated) On receipt of 15 cents (obliterated) will send a blank album to any address in the United States.

Then on the last line it seems to indicate "Confectionery Company."

I spoke with one member and am in the process of contacting another on this card. The one member indicated an eBay lot which has the exact same wording on the back with the exception of the "confectionery" part.

Here is the link (yes, I bought the other item as well):
