July Pickups
 

Just thought I would try to beat everyone to the punch on this. I just got scans done of a few awesome pickups from the last week or so. The CJ Blair and Nunamaker are 1914's. The two Peckinpaugh's and Janvrin are 1915's.

Thanks to board members for the Peckinpaugh CJ, T222 Chance, T206 Chase, T222 Maisel, '52 Bowman Mantle, and '52 Berk Ross Mantle.

The other four CJ's and '34 Goudey Gehrig are from a late night Ebay binge.

I am still looking for a T222 Keating, T200 NY Americans, any T206 Yankees/Americans, and any CJ 1914/1915 Yankees. If you can help let me know.

Accidentally listed this in June pickups:

Ebay Win
 

Reulbach origins unknown and a couple of Batter Ups:

Received this nice little lot via an Ebay Best Offer. Bansewein is a dupe if anyone needs him.

Happy to add a difficult E121-80 Type 3 to my HOF collection. (McGraw is not tough in this set but Type 3 is!)

I just could not resist this one:
 

Neat Huh?

Did this come from e-bay? You beat me to it if so. I think it is a beautiful image, enjoy!

Yup, EBAY - a little pricy but a beauty for sure!

Nice Cobb. Do you any of the other Cobb T206s?

I was waiting until payday to buy it, payday is tomorrow! As Maxwell Smart would say...Missed it by that much!

Advantage to the new retiree...every day is payday!

2 new 88's. Thanks to (another) Michael!

This was my first graded card many moons ago...think it was $30 then....sigh

A couple more T205s
 

Picked up these nice Oscar Stanage and Hick Cady T205s from Just Collect on eBay. Wanted the Hick Cady to complete my run of Minor League T205 catchers.
Now have two nice examples of Cady and McAllister from the Newark team.

big month for me (so far)!
 

I can't believe I picked up three impossible rookie cards this month! Time to start selling some more cards to fund my new goodies...

Oh man, that Hornsby pc is insane.

Pleased to add this tough card:

This came today...

LOVE that Marquard. I've been looking for a D303 Mothers' Bread for my Louisiana set. Very nice pick up.

Got a back scan?

Thanks Zach - your wish is my command:

Beautiful!! What year is that Tigers PC?

my first pickup after just getting back into vintage

I love that card. The back is so clean. It's a good thing it's slabbed because I'm drooling all over it.

Great Rookies Derek! Are you gonna go for that Billiken Andy Cooper thats from the same seller as the Lyons and Ruffing?

LOL - we can officially add that to the list of benefits of slabbing cards :p.

Thanks for the nice words about the card...I like it a lot!

(BTW, real nice job on your LA cards site. I've spent quite a bit of time on there - your research is really interesting!)

Cheers,
Blair

Thanks Jeff and Dan -

Dan - The Cooper is definitely near the top of my want list, but I simply can't drop any more cash on these tough cards. I would make an exception (or two) for an extremely rare card (or a card that is very underpriced), but I'm hoping that the negro league collectibles market cools a little in the next few years before tackling any of those Billiken rookies.

1907 FP Burke - they only made this and the Chi national as they were the ws foes that year. I just love the emblem in the background and a very green Mr Cobb...plus the mascot is cool.

E94 Cicotte
 

I was very happy to land this one...

Thanks to Bob B. for finding, then holding this for several weeks while I made arrangements to have it rejoin the others.

Nice pick up Steven. An E94 SGC40 is a very nice grade!

so picked this one up from a deal on here. Thanks to baez578. That makes #40 of the set and I hope by the end of this month to add more. In the works on a few will see. Thanks for looking guys

I'm always fascinated at the evolution of the Yankee uniform...good stuff!

It's an upgrade from one with a torn-off corner.

I'm right there with you, Clyde.

I just want to clarify your post for anybody that might look at Scott's cards, and not quite get your reference (though they might see the Yankee logo on Urban Shocker's uniform), especially considering Scott is displaying three cards from players on the St. Louis Browns of the American League, and the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League.

New York's American League team, before it was known as the Yankees, started out as the Baltimore Orioles (1901-1902). The franchise then moved to New York in 1903, adopting the nickname the Highlanders. They remained the Highlanders though the 1912 season. In 1913, they became known as the New York Yankees. Before they adopted the uniform they wear today, the Yankees made several changes to their uniform early on.

What I find interesting about the Urban Shocker card Scott posted is not that he's in a New York Yankees uniform, as Shocker was a member of the Yankees for two years before becoming a member of the Browns. It's that he is in a Yankees uniform when this card was printed in 1922. Shocker last played for the New York Yankees in 1917. He'd been a member of the Browns for four years by the time this card was printed for public consumption.

But wait, this gets better.

Shocker's Yankee home uniform depicts the classic interwoven "NY" that we are so used to seeing on the Yankee baseball caps. As the Baseball Hall of Fame's wonderful "Dressed to the Nines" uniform database clearly shows, that home uniform was last used in the 1916 season.

So, Urban Shocker's 1922 E121 American Caramel baseball card was printed using a picture of Shocker that was six years old!

Wow.

When I think of the all-time great baseball uniforms, the real classics, the three teams that jump into my mind are the pinstripes of the New York Yankees, the uniform of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the St. Louis Cardinals. There are some others I really like, too, the early 50s to 70s unis worn by the Pittsburgh Pirates are quite nice, but there's something about the Yankees, Dodgers and the current Cardinals uniforms that are just a cut above, in my opinion. And though the NY was last seen on the uniform itself in 1916, I would agree with Raymond that the way the Yankee uniform quickly evolved into the standard it is today is quite interesting, indeed.

Oh, and one more point to make here. The original Baltimore Orioles, who went on to become the New York Yankees, were, of course, not the Baltimore Orioles of today. Where did they come from?

Well, today's Baltimore Orioles started out as the Milwaukee Brewers (1894-1901) of the old minor Western League. The team then moved to St. Louis, where they were the Browns from 1902-1953. In 1954, the franchise then moved to Baltimore, and became the Orioles of today.

So, Urban Shocker's first team, the Yankees, started out as the Baltimore Orioles. And his second team, the St. Louis Browns, eventually became the Baltimore Orioles, but of course, not the same Baltimore Orioles that eventually became the New York Yankees.

Got that?

And today's Milwaukee Brewers had nothing to do with either team. They started out as the Seattle Pilots in 1969. They played one season in Seattle where they went 64-98. They then moved to Milwaukee in 1970.

Another Burke Postcard
 

Picked up this Burke Signed Jimmy Foxx postcard last night in the Goodwin Auction. Went way cheaper than I thought so can't complain.

I can. :mad:


(was mine, nice pickup)

From the Bay
 

Well, Bill...I WAS going to say that 'we' consider any team north of the Mason-Dixon line to be Yankees anyway, but, then, upon reading your history lesson, I decided y'all might already know about inbreeding...lol

Cross 1 off the list
 

I had 20 type cards left on my Cleveland list. Just won the Phil Bedgood Diaz Cig card. CROSS ONE OFF!!!

Look out National here I come: Get out that Joe Gordon Royal dessert, your Breisch-Williams Naps, and your Elmer Flick stuff.

This is one of those finds I could only have dreamed of....only 4 Diaz Indians to go and the Hall of Famer gotten

I finally obtained the N43 card I wanted for my type collection at a price that seems reasonable via eBay. I prefer my type cards to be Washington players, or at least ballplayers who played for Washington at some time during their careers. "Honest" John Morrill (erroneously spelled Morrell on this card) was the player-manager for Washington for part of 1889. Now then, if I could only obtain a 1889 Old Judge card showing Morrill with Washington!
Val

Jack, congrats on picking up all those very tough 1924 Diaz cards - I know you are ecstatic! Hope that I will shortly have similar good fortune!
Best,
Val

Awesome Jack! What a score! I was tempted to go after more Diaz, but I'm content w/ my two! Good luck with your last four!

Thanks Val, thanks Derek. They've always been my favorite set just from how unusual they are compared to most cards of the era and just how they overall present. I've never really understood why they've never been more popular than they are

Still can't believe I own the Coveleski, it's just presents so much better than his other cards. Definitely one of my dream cards to own

First Diaz and Billiken
 

Congratulations Jack on your Diaz pickups.

I bought this Diaz Urban Shocker and my first Billiken of Valentin Dreke a week ago from the same vendor. I love the clarity of the Shocker portrait. I thought it was in pretty good shape for a Cuban card from the 1920s.

I also picked up the Diaz Shawkey from her this evening. I wanted to bid on more, but I want to save some funds for the Nationals.

I didn't see the Shocker and Shawkey on the PSA or SGC population reports. Any of the Cuban collectors on the board know of other examples?

Best regards,

Joe

Grats on your pickups Joe

Shocker is the first one I've seen. No pop report on him either

Shawkey has a graded pop of 2. He has a really nice SGC example, off the top of my head I think it's a 50. I own the psa 1 example

''The Twelve Card Set''
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...4_GOLD_NEW.JPG





..........Oh Dear......I'm afraid there's 'way more than twelve in that twelve-card set.....Do you have Tim Newcomb's excellent article with the ongoing checklist , from the Spring and Summer 2006 Issues of '' Old Cardboard'' ? Please sit down ; we have to talk .

My new pickup. I have way too many Phillippe T206 cards now, but he keeps popping up with issues. Gotta love the double image!

The Shocker reminds me of the actor Robert Vaughn.

Zach Wheat large letter P2 pin.

A couple of my new additions so far in July.

Here is my average Crandall , I am in shock a little from the Shocker .

Yeah, Mike, I know about the rest. I was emphasizing the 12 card WS set in order to distinguish it from the whole R313A run. The other portion of the R313As is outside of my collector rank.
