April Pickups
 

Just bought this today, April 01, 2015. Has anyone ever seen this Jackson with green border before? Is it some kind of error, or is it a later print, like Helmar?

Did you pay 6 figures for it? If not, probably a fantasy piece...........

April Pickups
 

If you're going to play an April Fools prank, it's probably best to not use the most famous Net54 April Fools subject of all time. [emoji4]

Nice Pickups
 

Good stuff, guys.

Got some cool pickups today.

you guys are soooooooooooooo funny!!!!

wagner
 

Hey, Don't steal my Wagner scan! That is my favorite of the 3 I have.

A non-April Fools version
 

Just arrived today. Pretty jacked about this one. Looks amazing in hand.
It came to work, and I couldn't wait. Had to take a picture with my phone.

True...it is a fantasy piece. I would love to find this to be a real card (in theory it could be out there, but not likely). Happy April everyone. Enjoy your Easter!

Awesome card Eric.

I hope to one day have a BSF card in my collection!!

Mordecai
 

Thanks Steven! I collect Mordecai Brown and when I saw this I had to have it. I did chase it a little farther than I wanted to, but couldn't give up

Picked up some V-100s

Finally...
 

I've been looking for this card for a long time..

Wow, Eric! That's beauty!!

Really happy to add this one. Thanks Nate!

Hey Luke, nice Dahlen. :)

Luke Nice Dahlen. I have eyed that card a few times. Great pickup!

My newest pick up. I'm starting to really like this Evers variation, and am thinking about a back run now.

Luke, great card!

Sweet Hindu Luke, I love that Evers too.. though I think we're in the minority on this one, because it got beaten up pretty bad in a thread a couple years ago. "the crackhead Evers", etc

Good luck on the back run

This is a tough one. Glad to have found a nice 2!

Just picked this up from member darwinbulldog (thanks Glenn!) on B/S/T. I live in Raleigh and grew up on minor-league ball in the heart of Tobacco Road, so I was very excited to start this set, especially with a Raleigh player.

nice V-100s Mr. Dixon (especially like the Miller Huggins), and neat collection site too!

Happy to add these guys to binders ...

T206
 

Hey Rob, very nice pickups. Very clean images on both of those.

Should be on the way to me from the LOTG auction. Been wanting this card since I saw a copy displayed at the Hall of Fame.

Thank you, Rhett:

Opening day birthday boy:
 

Sunday will be Opening Day for MLB and will be the 139th Birthday for the pitching hero of the 1st (20th Century) World Series, 'Big Bill' Dinneen.

Since I was born only a few miles from where Bill was and 51 weeks after he died there, I thought it would be appropriate that he be my latest T206 addition.

Early Happy 139th, Bill !

Arrived this week at my office - made for an unproductive afternoon.

A few pickups to start April.

April Pick Up
 

Just picked Up this Beauty.

Some sweet cards guys, keep them coming!
Great Young John!

In my opinion, a guy who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame:

My first Diaz Hall of Famer!!

B18 Jeff Sweeney
 

Picked up another clean B18 for my catcher run in the B18 blanket set...Jeff Sweeney...Blue Infield version.

Signed T201s
 

Can't believe I was able to get Chuck K. (Net54: InYourDeface) to part with this pair of beauties. Signed Lobert cards are so exceedingly rare -- I would absolutely kill for a signed T206 -- it is an absolute honor to own this one. My current collection of signed T201s is now up to seven:

1. Wheat
2. Leifield
3. Rucker
4. Doyle/Meyers
5. Leach
6. Lobert
7. Bridwell

Grats! Though that makes 2 Yankees now ;) Breaking out of only one per team?

A couple new 1911 Zeenuts.

Yeah, I've already got a couple of Giants and Senators. Still need DET, STL AL, CHC AL, STL NL, BOS NL, BKN. Gonna try to get an "accumulation". :)

Two toughies, nice.

Nice card

Very Nice pickups so far, let's keep them coming!

John, great pickup - super nice-condition Diaz!! I say this because the highest graded Diaz card per the combined PSA/SGC pop reports is EX, and there's a total of only ten Diaz cards of all players graded EX in these pop reports.
Val

Great Rucker Greg - don't know how I missed that one...I have a raw one but would prefer the graded one.

My latest addition continues with my 1920's concentration:

Attachment 185875

Thanks, it was a board pickup from Kevin. I really like it.

Another one I've been looking for:
 

My first T204 RAMLY and a local guy at that:

Attachment 185895

Great looking Ramly, Raymond! They are tough to beat.

Wanted this for awhile.

My 2nd Hindu Waddell...guess there could be worse cards to hoard!

Nice Waddell Rob! That card was my 2nd Hindu Waddell about 6 months ago :D

Nice! :)

one of my favorite Cobb's

One more to go for the complete set!

These are actually February pick-ups. I'm just really slow getting to a scanner
 

Joe Yanello has come through for me again. Joe has been great about letting me know when a card with Howe's stamp comes his way, and always offers it at a fair price.

Mitchell comes from an eBay transaction with board member Larry. Thanks, Larry.

Numbers 270 and 271 in the rebuilt collection. Thanks to everyone on the board for the heads-ups when these show up at auction or shows or whatever. I really appreciate the help getting as many of these back together as I can.

Nice Howes Ed! And Greg, you're getting some beautiful t206s

Love this Kling for a few reasons. The registration and caption jump are cool, and I've been after this f/b combo for a little while.

The Chase is my newest 2-namer (Jacklistch).

Pretty neat item... I've known these boxes existed, but never saw one come up for sale. El Principe de Gales, in addition to the small clam shell cigarette boxes that held cards, also produced cigars. The cigar boxes are the size of a typical wooden cigar box, and essentially look like a giant sized version of the cigarette box.

For comparison, here's the cigarette box:

luke....
 

that brown "caption" jump is exceedingly rare....

if that kling was inside the border you would be looking at a multi K card:eek:

Awesome pickup Jon.

Epdg
 

Nice Jon.....very nice!

WaJo has arrived!!!
 

1924 Diaz

So many great cards!!

Great card, John! I've never even seen that WaJo before.

Nice

+1

Great card

Big thank you to Leon for my April pick up! :)

Another Lefty:
 

Wow! Sweet card, Ben! :eek:

Picked up a tough 1911 Zeenut pose variation. Heitmuller in general is among the very tough 1911 Zeenut subjects, but the small pose is incredibly hard to find.

Ruth
 

Love that Kashin Ruth. Very nice

Good job Rhett.
Always interested in your pursuits.

Me too! I've always loved Kashin's

I also got the beauties in. 2 very nice additions to my signed HOF A's 8x10 collection
