June pickups
 

Let's see what the sunny month brings y'all.

Just got this - my first Chase. Been after a nice one for awhile. Thanks to a very nice member of this forum.

Wow, gorgeous Chase!

Herb, beautiful card. Your Cracker Jacks always make me kick myself for not collecting them. :D:D:D

Outstanding Chase.

That Chase is High End! :D

Agreed, it doesn't get much better than that. Congrats.

It can't be. It doesn't have a sticker!!

Leon, I didn't say it was Certified High End, just High End! :D

never mind then....

Won this the other night in LOTG. It'll go well with my Mullin w/ bat Uzit example.

Nice pickup Mike.

+1. Did you decide you were going to win that auction when you first saw it, or were you Mullin it over? (sorry)

Now that SGC moved to the new label, did they stop labeling P42 cards? My old examples of my 2 graded P42s both mention it in the label, prior to SGCs switch.

Thanks Chris.

Todd- Ha, good one! :)

Wazoo- I think sometimes they mention the P42, and other times not...seems random, from what I've seen.

Nice Mullin.

Sometimes when you see an auction you bid, other times "Uzit" it out and let someone else pick it the card.

Thanks guys. I'd been looking for a nice one for a long time.

Ron, thanks. I feel the same way every time I look at your Goudeys lol.

C'mon guys - please now help me find a high grade '15 CJ Cicotte :)

Picked these three up from Mike Healer (my first T213's). Thanks Mike.

That Rucker looks so much more like a photograph than most T206's. Nice card!

Thanks, really happy with it!

The Altoona Tribune is trimmed.

Thank you to fellow Net54 member Frank W. for working with my limited resources to make this transaction a reality. While many may look at this as a beater, to me it is gorgeous and the pride and joy of my t206 collection. I am over the moon at being able to acquire this piece of cardboard.

Jeff, congratulations. You picked up a big one, even if it's in poor condition.

By the way, my O'Hara is also a PSA 1.:)

@Tom: Not too shabby on that 'Sand-man"

This seems to be a hard to find combo from what I can find in pop reports and previous sales.

Thanks

Tom,


Really nice card. Koufax and Ryan rookies are on my radar soon (I hope).

David

That's a great pickup, congratulations!

Thanks Sean! PSA 1's seem to have a great variance, how does yours compare?

Thanks Daryl!!!

Sorry Jeff, I don't have a scan available. :o

Great cards everyone, love the Mantle & Mays.

Jeff that's a smart example to pickup, one I think most dread paying the high premium for. Well now you have yours. Congrats.

.

Finally got a Pattee and at a pretty damn good price too. $40 for a PSA 2 not bad.

A couple of Polar Bears =)
And a $19 Hinchman !

not a T206 but ...

Rob, great pickup! I was looking at that as well. It is quite a unique card.

DJ

Awesome card. I was watching this but went way over my budget. So happy a board member picked it up. Truly love this card!!

That's really cool, great card.

Want to make you guys feel better. You don't have the worst O'Hara on the board. That title belongs to me.

I got ya' beat....

Haha. Barely.

That would be one of the first 10 lots in the next REA auction if that were a T206. Awesome and under-appreciated card.

not really an auto guy but had to have this...

wow
 

Jeff, that is simply amazing. Wonderful image and very nice signature. Congrats on that piece

Big +1

Jeff, what a beautiful piece, congrats!

I haven't bought a baseball card in a LONG time but couldn't pass this one up. Always loved 59 Bazookas and now I have one.

Very nice Jeff! :eek:

Doesn't get a lot better than that, congrats Jeff...

If I had that, I would be tempted to change my name to Paul Brock. Cool.

Nice Upgrade from Clean Sweep:
 

T207 Livingston Large C
 

Thanks to Dan McKee for this Large "C" Livingston T207.


Patrick

Jeff congrats on that Ruth. Love it.

I picked up this sweet Evers for my e95 set in a good old fashioned trade with a buddy last weekend at the WSSCA show:

E92 Bemis Dockman & Sons (missing color passses)
 

Pumped to have this cool looking E92 Dockman & Sons scrap of Handsome Harry Bemis.

(Check out the separate thread.)

Patrick

Added my 5th t206

Great stuff
 

As they say, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think having any "scarce" card in any condition is a pretty cool thing, especially when That piece of cardboard is a passion.

Congrats to everyone on their pickups this month, it's great to see everyone's little nugget of gold.

Agreed.....I love my O'Hara.

not even a week in and this thread is flooded with Gems! love it!

Don't get me wrong. I love mine too. I wasnt trying to take away from any of the cards. Im not big on condition prewar. To have one is to have one in my book. The thrill of the hunt is what keeps me going.

Super excited by this pick-up, especially card number 275
 

Several months ago, when Brian let me know that a couple of cards in a large lot of T206s had Howe's stamp on them and they would be in an upcoming REA auction, I was really hoping that I would be able to get my hands on these. Especially the McQuillan, as it is only the second example I've seen that uses Howe's first name, then his middle initial, then the title Agent, Saturday Evening Post. And just like the other, it is stamped in green ink, not the usual black/sorta purple on the other 273 I have, and the 31 I know exist but aren't mine.

I lucked out, and board member Brent was the winner of the lot, and worked with me to add these to the rest in the rebuilt collection.

Again, thanks go to so many people on the board who have helped me with this project.

Remember when...
 

You could read autographs?

This beauty arrived today!

Great combination of a card I've wanted and a fantastic signature:

WOW:eek:

GREAT PIECES everyone else

.

Proud to get this card for only $60.

Picked these two up over the weekend. Start of a new (ambitious) set.

One of the coolest (odd) cards I've wanted.

Holy Schnikes Greg !!

Greg, That is one beautiful card. Thanks for sharing. Marty

It's been a while since I've added any, but my E121-80 set is coming along slowly but surely.

I'm not a grading guy, but one of my favorite Mantle cards was always the '52 Bowman. I just picked this one up. I would like to thank PSA for calling this a 7, and not the 8 that I think they should have called it.

One of very toughest to find in a 7 or 8.
