September Pickups
 

A big thanks to my buddy Jeff Toot for working a trade out with me for this one....

/thread

+1!

Pete, how many do you have now?

Another big pickup by Pete! Awsome!

Wow Pete! Great card.

Average card Pete. Great pickup!!!

Jayzus!

Lock this thread, it doesn't get any better than that. amazing card.

Can we start doing two pickup threads every month? I hate posting after Pete. :p Seriously, though, Pete, that is another awesome card. I would love to see what all you have together now. It has to be magnificent seeing them all together.

Beautiful Ruth...here are a few of my more recent pickups that I have not posted. Basketball just for the giggles!

Ruth RC
 

Thanks everybody, appreciate the kind words. Fortunate to have one for each of my 3 little guys, and fortunate to have great friends in the hobby!

Gorgeous card, Pete. Great pickup!

I bet you couldn't wait to start the September thread!!! Very nice card, Pete! And you have 3!! Yikes!

You have three?!

If there is an opening to be your 4th little guy please let me know, I will submit a very strong application. :D

Shag
 

Always a difficult card to acquire when ascending the Monster...

Man i wish my parents named me Shag....lol...great card

Great color on that Shag. Very nice!

More progress on both T206 and my recent side set 52 Bowman

Awesome card from a fellow Net54 member.

Me when I am about to share my pickups for this month so far, and the thread starts off with that beautiful Ruth and continues on with beautiful vintage...

Not a Ruth.... but...
 

still a solid card for my TG set...

I put this in another thread, but I wanted to show it here, too. I hope ya'll don't mind.

WOWZERS!! Absolutely stunning card! I refuse to post any pick-ups in this thread after what I've seen so far!

Al, that is pure cane sugar, it is so sweet.

Impressive guys, a Ruth M101-4/5 and a Pop Lloyd SGC 84!

Ed, that is one of the nicer T213-1's I have seen (good pick up!)

Picked up this up a while ago actually, but just got it back from grading. Very fragile, so really wanted it protected.

Thanks y'all... will fit in nicely and puts my my set seriously above 50 on average.... a lifelong labor....

Al

If you start going down the Brad and Angelina route and wish to adopt #5, I'll make myself available after Bryan!;) I can even be the black sheep of the family and settle for a grade 1!

In all seriousness... Another fantastic pickup!

nice Baltimore shirt co card. tough.

Thanks!

Phew! That is a sweet card!!

Jason, I was so ticked off when I missed the close on that. My wife started talking to me and I missed it. Good job on getting it.:)

Great card, Al!!

Cheers,
Steve

LOL...that is most of us.....

249 more and you get an autographed baseball from Babe Ruth! ;)

Thanks! That has happened to me a couple of times, too. :)

bahjahahahahahahah :D

Great eye appeal - paper loss on back but very happy with this one

Congrats Greg

Awesome pickup Greg!

Thanks! been looking for a while for this one in low grade with nice eye appeal

That is a perfect card, imo.. Great looking and not technically high grade... Congrats!!

Thanks Leon

Now my highest graded HOFer t206 and great centering (always a key for me). And his rookie card.

Nice card Greg. That color really pops!

+1 --- and very nice registration for a card that usually lacks it.

September Pickups
 

Finally got a standing pose. Very nice for a PSA 4. Very happy with this one. Also got it for 1000 less then when PWCC sold the same card in May. Tells you something about PWCC pricing maybe? Market softer maybe? Not sure.

T207 Erwin upgrade
 

Thanks to Jeff R. for this awesome T207 Tex Erwin from the B/S/T thread.

Patrick

I picked up my first UZIT off the BST. I now only need a Drum to complete my back run.

Snagged a green background E90-3 Payne last night from PWCC to go with my Blue error

in my 6 years of collecting the e104 series I have never seen so many new listings. Last night's PWCC offering was amazing. I think this kind of activity helps bring more attention to the series as e104 and particularly e104-3's that had been dormant in 2011-2014.

I wondered if you were going to get any of those. Nice haul, Pete!

Pete, nice pickups, I wasn't sure if that's was you who got them or the other collector building the set. How many do you have now from each series?

DJ

Wow Pete, I was under bidder on just about all those. I was hoping to get one of the type 2s and one of the type 3s, but you were much more determined. I did get the type 1 Hartsel, so now I have two of those....:cool:.

Congrats on a great group to add to your collection!

Amazing
 

Those are amazing Pete!! Congrats!!.......Jerry

Good ole Geo H Ruth

Sweet grabs Pete! I went after a few of them but didn't win any

AJ - love your Babe, but I was hungry, so I had to get...

a MEAL TICKET!

T206 Tinker Portrait
 

Just in from the last Hunt's Auction. Very excited to get this one into my collection...

Great Hair! - nice card

Happy to get these two from PWCC. Paige is a long term keeper. Always good to get a Cobb.

................ and another PWCC win (at half of what was thought :rolleyes: a possible losing snipe).

Attachment 244753

Such a tough common, I'd forgot what it looked like :)

#114, Scott

Nice cards Aaron. I was bidding on the Paige as well. Awesome card. Congrats.

Nadja backed Nadjas
 

Nadja's from PWCC

So you are the other one! Man, I wanted one of the 2s and one of the 3s. Great cards, and congrats.

My first, and the easiest, complete set. Then I bought another Paul Dean tonight, to go with the Dizzy I already had, so now two complete sets. I haven't seen these talked about in a long time.

Some Burke 4 x 6's used for cards
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...EBRUCE_NEW.JPG




..Found the original "Geo Burke 847 Belmont Ave. Chicago" photos for Bruce Campbell and Lou Fette....the Campbell was heavily airbrushed and cropped when it was used for the 1936 Fine Pen R313 premium issued by National Chicle ; I don't recall seeing the Lou Fette used for any other purpose ; it would have made a great '33 Worch or '39 Play Ball..

From Sterling last night:

From RMY auctions last month

Just got it back from
The framer.

My great, great grandad... He bailed cy young out a couple times in relief!

Cool Josh!! ^^^

Nice! :)

Thanks... BIG assist to a board member who put me onto that auction at the last day!
It's a type 1 from the major Cleveland newspaper at the time

I'm being a temporary hypocrite. I could not resist:

A pair of Crispette's
 

2 HOFers

Nice card, Brian. We know you tried.... There are worse things to not let go of than cards...

Brian, I suspect there are many of us who are rooting for you to be a permanent hypocrite!
Val

Thank you, Leon.

LOL. Thank you, Val.
