Picked up from a board member.

Not actually a pickup, but I was in Martinez, CA today and decided to drop by Joe's place…

Goal obtained! 200 EPDG's
 

Just over 2 years to get to the goal of 200 unique El Principe de Gales with the purchase of a Mr Schlafly last week.

Was hoping I could get there by the end of this year, lost some hope in April, then won a few big lots to help close the gap. Then finished 6 months ahead of my plan.

Thrilled........how much farther can I go? Got any for me? ;)

E106 Mathewson and T205 American Beauty Knight
 

Nice Matty!! ;)

Thanks Billy. Immediately one of my favorites in my collection. Sorry it went through eBay, I didn't see the B/S/T thread first.

It's cool.....Glad you won it.........Cheers

speaking of Matty...

the most ridiculous auction purchase of my career. a 310 lot auction I won 67 of them. don't ask me how much unless you want to hate yourself for not being me! Highlights the t205 and Domino disk mattys

Nice Tinkers!!!!

My first T206 in a while

Really nice group of the RARE players from the E121 Series of 80 set. The New York players were late additions to the set and are nearly impossible to find. A group this size and w/ good eye appeal is almost unheard of...

Wow Rhett!!!

If you don't mind me asking, were those an AH purchase or did they come from a collectors personal collection? Please don't tell me they came from a flea market or yard sale :).

Rhett,

You never fail to impress.

Latest pick-Up
 

A slight break from the rookie collection. John had an itch on his nose and scratched it a bit too hard, but I'm okay with it...

Another rare Cracker Jack thanks Ben Attachment 237571

I've been wanting one of these Weaver postcards for a while now. I was able to pick it up in the latest Bagger's Auction and I'm very happy to finally add it to my collection! (The overprint back is a plus too!)

I can quit anytime I want :rolleyes: -- Scott

Nice. It looks like Buck was popular with the ladies. I love the style of those old composite images.

My July ( and June )
 

Another great start to the month guys...awesome cards already shown.

I haven't posted in the pickup threads too much lately, but I have acquired some new things that I like a lot.I especially like the crisp photo of Hack...enjoy:p :

Awesome image on that Hack Toad!

Great Buck postcard too Tom.

Agreed Jeff

Cool Hack in SGC holder

Thanks Frank and Jeff....

Amazing that Hack was 31 yrs old in the photo, looked 50 and died at the young age of 48.

He was fresh off the incredible 190 RBI season with .356 batting average and 56 HR..
The next seasons he played (4) combined he barely reached those totals.

He was allegedly a heavy drinker which took its toll in a severe way. He peaked during the big hitting years of 1929-1932 then withered into obscurity. He didn't make the HOF until 1979. A tragic story overall.

It's one of the reasons I collect baseball cards...the history of the game and it's players is fascinating!

Attachment 237845

Great pick ups!
 

I love the T206 pick up!!!OMG Jeff !! EPDG HEAVEN:eek:


All the rest.....great pick ups guys!!!


WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

From Sterling...
 

An e102 Evers in a slab and a T213-2 "Piano Mover" Smith in the wild, or whatever slang terminology is used for penny sleeve and top loader. The Smith card is fairly scarce with only 10 graded by SGC...

yeap, sometimes a card just speaks to us. Nice pickup on Walter...

fortunate to add these two

Wagner&Cobb
 

Nice ones Jeff..........Jerry

Art Fletcher side written gamer circa 1921.

Another T202 Meyers Triple Folder
 

Picked up the last tough T202 Meyers/Mathewson (Devlin Gets His Man) I needed. Just need 3 common Meyers T202s to complete the 10 card Meyers T202 subset.

Patrick

That's a beauty!

Thanks
 

Thanks Dave.

T202s are underated for sure. Still pretty reasonable to pick up.

Thanks,

Patrick

July Pickups
 

Never thought I would own a Wagner let alone two! And was also fortunate to pick up a beautifully centered E102 Cobb!! Traded away all my 33 Ruths but there are a lot more of those out there. A couple of major cards taken off my bucket list. Thank you to JoeT. That will be it for a while!!

Wow!!! Great pickups!

Agreed

That's quite the trio! Congrats!

Very nice! I especially love the Williams Caramel Wagner. That Cobb isn't too shabby either. Great cards!

Another 1912 Zeenut (39 to go for that set)...

http://starsofthediamond.com/12zeebrackenridge.jpg

Thank you, Leon:

From PWCC last night:

Got this "none higher" at great price last night (unless PSA 8 CJ 15s are now declining overall). http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1468596650

I like the Cobb you picked up Brian, but I don't recognize it. Is it a magazine issue, and what are the dimensions?

Thank you, David. The original description by the seller identified the Cobb as a 1912 exhibit, but another member has disputed the designation. The pieces measure 8.5 inches long by 5.5 inches wide. I also just agreed to purchase the Marquard from this issue:

A big thanks to Pete Costanzo for selling me this Matty...

Brian, they look like bookplates, likely bound or something in some way at the top (like a notepad would have been.) thickness? Paper, cardstock, or cardboard?

You handled it and a few others at the last national or the one before that.

Just won this in last night's PWCC ebay auction.
 

Matty
 

Continuing the Matty theme, just picked this up.

Thanks Leon, I didn't connect the dots with the ones you showed me then, I think that was my opinion then as well. I seem to remember them being thicker paper w/ slight glossy texture to them.

The one card I wanted more than any for my Gehrig collection. PWCC sale. 11 or 12 graded, 1 higher.

Rhett,

Thank you. From my observation, since they are in transit, it does not look like they are bound. If they were, I would have passed. They seem to be either cardstock or cardboard.

Brian,

I cannot identify your Cobb, but I can tell you this much: that photo is the one used for the T201 Mecca double folder (Cobb/Crawford). That's pretty cool!

Scott

They are 100% period heavy cardstock, not cardboard.They have a nice aged patina to them also. There is no doubt they are from the early 1900s due to their paper-stock and feel. Never could identify them but most likely had something to do with M113s imo....

Classic pose.
 

Scott,

Thank you for the compliment.

Leon,

Thank you and thank you for your e-mail help on this matter. I literally can't wait to get my hands on these two items. Here is a link from Leon's e-mail about the M113s which I believe are a sister creation, but not these items. I hope I am not wrong:

http://www.oldcardboard.com/m/m113/m...?cardsetID=971

The Cobb (and Marquard) must be from 1911 or earlier since the Mecca double folders date to 1911. They cannot be from 1912 or later...

Scott,

I'll let you gentlemen decide the date of the items. I know the seller's point was that Cobb's jersey and hat combination was from 1912 and was only used by the Tigers that particular year.

Thanks Johnny. Got any I need? :D

This upgrade from the recent Bagger's Auction to my Sam Rice collection doesn't have great eye appeal for a SGC 40, IMHO. However, it looks EXMT to me when compared to my SGC 10 example, which is now available to trade or sell.

I'm still lacking this same 1917 Rice rookie card with the Standard Biscuit back (D350-2), of which there is only one listed in the pop reports. If anyone knows where this card resides, perhaps I can tempt its owner to part with it.

Brian, I'm glad I asked the initial question since we may all learn something about this issue. The M113's had to be rolled to be shipped, so if yours is thick enough that it couldn't be rolled, what you will still be a bit of a mystery.
