May Pickups
 

Nothing actually picked up.... yet, but it is 6 AM on the first :cool:

Check your calendar again Sean.:D

I picked up this absolutely stunning T213 Elberfeld (NOT FOR SALE!)

March, May. Oh, so close.

January, February, March, April, March... I don't see the problem:confused:

I got two letters.

I was still 73% asleep when this was posted :D

Oh, you guys are using the Gregorian calendar. Now it makes sense.

If I get to go back to March, maybe I can make Q1 look a lot better :D:D!!

Picked these up last night. Highest and for that matter only graded, from 1907....Both Cincy players. Guy at bottom is said to be Hans Lobert. Any help on top guy?

Zach
 

Zach, that card looks like it is a Katrina survivor.

It has been showing up in my searches for the past few months. I'm glad you bought it.

Rick

Looks like Larry McLean.

Tom C

Survivor? :rolleyes:

The colors are amazing!

I bought another card from the seller and got him to make me a package deal on that BEAUTIFUL Elberfeld. It's a true 1 of a kind. I couldn't resist.

Substandard
 

This card falls beneath my exacting standards...I insist that my cards have at least 10% of the front still intact.

I'm impressed with the detective work to determine that it is actually Elberfeld fielding.

Brian

You could have tried. :D

What kind of grade do you think the TPG's would assign to it?

Both of them! :D:D:D

May pick-ups
 

Got this in the mail today in a trade w/ Phil G.! Finally landed a 1901 Police Gazette Matty!!

I like that Matty... check out those feet! Looks like he's wearing clown shoes.

Picked up two more HOFer's for my 34 Goudey SGC set -

Ruth Photo
 

I bought my first Ruth photo for $20 this one was a bit more but wanted to get something of Ruth when he was still with the Red Sox.

This is a Underwood & Underwood Type 1 from Sept. 12, 1919 just before being traded to the Yankees. What is also cool is that he played that day of the photo stamp and went 2-4 with 2 rbi's

Derek, Great Matty!

My latest two Nadjas thanks to a board member

DJ

I was watching that for a year or so. I almost made a offer but the price was way to high. It's a nice photo but I think went for way to much (no offense) but still a cool pick up

wrong section
 

Wrong section, apologies

Got this in mail from Sterling...one of the great baseball images, agree?

Love the goudey pickups.

Thanks...I noticed your going for a high grade PSA set...nice. I won't be competing with you, I am going for a low grade SGC set. I am your ugly red headed step child...haha. Good luck with your set! Love the 34s....PM me every once in a while on your cool pickups...I'll do the same...:)

Congrats on a great pickup. I'm jealous.

Doug

Oh Doug - I'm still jealous of your La Patrie Sparky Anderson!

That Matty is awesome.

Greg, that's just spectacular.

A mini freak show
 

Sorry guys, I need a better scanner. Here's a T206 Schlei Catching with the yellow print pass shifted to the left and a T206 Quinn WST front and back.

Just arrived from a fellow board member...

Nice Keeler. I have been looking for an affordable one if those for quite some time.

E94s
 

Picked these up recently

Those colors are awesome just as you said!!

A couple of Series 6 cards arrived today.Thank you John.

I was too, as you probably know some OM examples are so much harder to find than others (some haven't even been discovered yet). This is only the 5th or 6th Keeler (batting) Old Mill that I've ever seen come up for sale. Haven't seen any other examples graded higher than a 3.5, so most are lower grades to begin with. There's a couple other 1 grade examples floating around out there, hopefully one pops up for you ;)

I will keep my eyes open

Those e94s are incredible! Nice pick ups.

My latest pick-up, a 1917 Boston Red Sox team RPPC taken at Hot Springs, Ark. on March 5, 1917 and subsequently mailed two days later, on March 7, 1917. Although the player images are small. Babe Ruth is easily identifiable. I will begin working on the rest of the players.......

UPDATE - Herb Pennock is standing on the far left. Now looking for Harry Hooper.............

Nice Phil, was wondering who bought it.

A beautiful T206 and a tough HOF Negro Leaguer RC, enjoy!

The McGinty has a very strong image.

Have been looking for a Williams signed postcard. So picked this one up today. A little beat up but still thought it was a nice piece.

1917 Sox RPPC
 

Nice pickup Phil!

Recent addition for me...

Really nice Williams auto, nice pickup!

Thanks Jeff!

That E94 is a thing of beauty. :eek:

AGREED! Beautiful pickup pete! Turner was one of the last few cards i got to complete my set...and yours is epic.

Wow, won this top-graded card at PWCC--at a good price! Shill bidders on bathroom breaks? Watching "Mad Men"?

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1399260758

Mr. Young

Ruben, I'd expect nothing less than that centering perfection. The keen eye strikes again! That card torches many a higher graded example.

And such a clean image, too!

Thanks Matt. Great meeting you on Saturday. Amazing Mantle & Ruth rookie. Looking forward to your next addition/s :)

Another portrait :)

Brad - cool Ted Williams PC.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a George Burke PC w/ an AZO stamp box on back. They usually have Kodak stamp boxes. According to Playle, this particular stamp box style dates it from 1926-40s...so congrats on the great contemporary Williams PC!

One of my favorite poses.

Mike, gorgeous Matty. The registration is spot on.

Thanks Derek! I heard from another board member (Lance, who is a wealth of info on Burke and just a nice guy) that he has handled thousands of Burke photos but only about a dozen or so AZO Burke postcards. So I guess it is a bit of a scarce find. I sort of assumed I overpaid for the postcard because I liked it but now I'm hearing I may have gotten a good deal. We'll see when I send it in to PSA to have it authenticated.

Always like adding a W600 HOFer...

Thanks Tony.

E94 Turner
 

Thanks Pete & Chris!!

Bill Carrigan returns to Maine
 

Added another E145-2 1915 Cracker Jack to my collection.

Nice to return Bill Carrigan back to his home state.


Patrick

Raw cards are beginning to grow on me...

Chris - nice Denton Young!

A small addition:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-T205-Hu...vip=true&rt=nc

Picked up #42 in my T205 set. I had never heard of Mr. Duffy, so plugging in a HOf'er for 50 bucks worked for me.

Agreed

AZO Burke pc's can be found on the early cards, prior to the Kodak ones. Much more desirable in my opinion. I would also bet money your Williams auto is legit, these were popular items to get signed...

http://goodwinandco.com/Jimmy-Foxx-A...-LOT27510.aspx

Love it.. very nice Phil. I was watching that too. I am glad it went to the right collector.

My first Cap Anson, and very scarce in B&W form. I actually prefer this to the more common color one, as for me it becomes TOO cartoonish.

Nice Pick-up :)

Actually picked this up last month from a fellow board member (Thanks, Toby). 2013 HOF inductee. Never say, "Never!"

E94 Kleinow
 

Thanks to Pete Costanzo for this beauty...

It always feel good to add an another HOFer.

So the set continues thanks to some help from a fellow member buying my E90-1's. Anyway I scored this nice 5.5 Paul Waner. Priced a little more than I wanted to spend but still got a fair price on it. So now one card closer to my goal being completed. Hope you guys enjoy.

Thank you Mr Sarno. I think we figured it was Campbell ink shift on the front.
