May pickups
 

Very happy to pick up these 3 Speakers.:)

It's great to be back
 

Last night was a lot of fun... now it's time to go back into hiding/saving up mode.

Gulp
 

Holy Heck Aaron!
That's a way to step back up to the plate!
What a great haul of classic, important cards!
Congrats!

Awesome haul Aaron. The T213 Cobb is Beast. Congrats

Wow!! I was high bidder on that E104-2, till you grabbed it late. Great pick up. Love the E103, and blue M116 as well. Congrats!

.. Once I was out on E104 Wags, I re-allocated my bid $$ to this lot (one reason I like when lots end together instead of individually). Have really wanted a signed Hornsby for a long time. Beat up or not I'm very happy with it, and the others. Glad to have the Vance as well.

Re- Hornsby, would be curious what some of the autograph guys thought of that Diamond Stars lot w/ Hornsby ("Auction LOA's").

I've been super busy lately and completely forgot I bought this until I opened my mail last night...

Needham? Got 'em,. Carl Horner cab. http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1493784325

The Collins-McCarthy Joe Jackson is a Monster then!

Brian- That's a great group of NY cards! Congrats!

Thank you, Raymond.

Obviously not vintage, but perhaps of some interest to HOF collectors: Signed 2002 Atlanta Braves team photo. Just happy to have SOMETHING of this new inductee.

Super nice Greg!

Super Pumped !!

I usually wait until I have card in hand, but I'm so excited with this one.

Just got back from PSA and taken out of a scrapbook.

Those look like they could use a bath

+1, of that scrapbook falls off, you scored !

worth much much more after a good bath!

Beautiful cards. I'd soak those in a heartbeat.

Happy to pick up a 1933 George C. Miller type 2 of Dean. Bad scan, looks better in hand.

Just added these. Gee, wonder if I can get all the Lionel Carter cards? :D

Great looking cards for the grade!

Wanted this one for quite awhile--cool, important guy and great image and color--and really happy to pick up as my sole Zeenut "type." Also it is highest graded. Plus: I knew he had played for Brooklyn, and went on to be a famous PCL manager--but did not know his semi-groundbreaking views on color barrier:

I got my Bancroft from the same guy. I was all set to snipe this one, until you did. It is a beauty, congrats.

Glad to add this to my type collection.

........... very happy with these .............. :)

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Nice pickup for MY month (my last name is May). Got this bad boy from right here on Net54. Hyped!

Picked up my first-ever Helmars. I know not everyone's cup of tea--and obviously not really mine--but thought I'd give them a try. Would only be interested in the cabinet size, partly for display purposes,and these did not disappoint--gorgeous, 8 x 10 and thicker than T3s, hefty. As you know, they added distressed look and rounded corners, but well done. Cobbie and Baker:

A few Obaks for me from a fellow board member. Thanks, Stuart! I am really liking these cards!

Really nice Obak's. If I wasn't focused on T206's, I'd be collecting Obak's. Mainly because theres 3 series, different front/back combos, different subject numbers, with frames/without frames, with back stamps/without back stamps. More bang for your buck on Obaks as well.

Holy crap! What a steal! How did I miss that auction! I was watching the McCredie that's Greg won and read up on McCredie's back-story written by Brian Campf (RIP) on SABR. Walt McCredie was a very interesting dude. That Zeenut really sticks out to me as well. Great grab.

Thanks! I am enjoying them.

That is awesome!!!!!

Another 14 CJ off the list

New Favorite Card
 

I am stoked!!!

Always interesting to see where board members are focusing their efforts . . .

These are two that recently made it into my HOF collection. Both were downgrades per the grades on the flips -- which is not uncommon for my collection.

Snagged this 1941 Play Ball - Joe DiMaggio - #71 today:

Here's something you don't see everyday! A 1939 "The Hartnett Club" Banquet Ticket In Honor Of Leo "Gabby" Hartnett (Monday, August 21, 1939).

Two more Tinkers down, the latter -- the elusive Piedmont 350-460, factory 42 -- means this project is well within reach (thank you Adam!). Still need a Tinker Bat off AB and an EPDG, and could use a blank back

.

Brian, nice pickups! I was watching the Indy Brewing-Lajoie card - Nice! Don't forget to pay for them before midnight Pacific time to get your 8% eBay bucks.

Thank you, Val. I guess I am the only guy here that doesn't use eBay bucks. :o

Wow, Brian, tough Thompson card! Congrats

Thank you, Marc.

Two Cobbs

Found yesterday at a small card show.

I was also watching that LaJoie card, great pickup.

Also, to clarify, the auction only needs to end before the eBay bucks promo ends. You can pay for it anytime afterwards and still get the promo bucks!

My first and second Cobb(s), as well as not my first Cy (but it is my favorite card/pose of him).

Probably over-paid, but that's nothing new for me! I've always loved the pose and with '25s exploding I'd figure I'd go ahead and take the plunge. I was kinda surprised to see only 46 total graded between PSA and SGC.

Thanks Cole. I think Lionel Carter had a pretty good eye for that sort of thing!

Very cool card, Dean!

Much appreciated Chuck!

Nice pickups. I was the under, under bidder on the E121 :D

Nice pick up! I watched that one tick down to 0 yesterday, almost almost bid but held off. Agree, it's probably a good time to snag the '27 with explosion of the '25. Would be curious to see what a '26 would get these days, since from what I've heard, they're tougher to find than the '25.

Dmitri, nice Cy Young. That's my favorite of all his cards. :)

Relatively newer pickups, but not May. But fresh back from SGC...

Quite sure none of these 5 are hand cut but they grade the whole set that way.

Ruth is really nice but has a date written on the back in pen.

Thank you, Dmitry.

Dmitry, I disagree with you, based on the following narrative taken from the promotional notification I received from eBay:

"The Promotion starts at 5:00AM PT on May 6, 2017, and ends at 11:59PM PT on May 7, 2017 (the "Promotion Period"). Extra eBay Bucks can only be earned on every single item purchased that meets the minimum purchase requirement specified in the offer (a "Qualifying Purchase"). Promotion is valid on multiple qualifying purchases made within the promotion time period....Purchases must be completed during the Promotion Period and paid for with PayPal before the Promotion ends."

I've taken advantage of these bucks promos many times and have paid as much as a week later and always got the promo bucks. A Buy-It-Now auction, on the other hand, is a different story.

EDIT: I just paid for my PWCC winnings this morning (5/9), and the full 8% in eBay bucks got added to my account for the auctions that ended before the promo expired.

Thanks! I thought it was solid for the assigned grade.

Thanks!

Thanks Ian! Years ago I almost pulled the trigger on a '21 exhibit Ruth, but never did. Now I regret it. Didn't want the same thing to happen again.

I too would be curious as to what a '26 would bring as well. They are tough for sure.

Great W575-1s. As you know SGC is currently re-evaluating the "hand cut' caveat on these cards since they are obviously not hand cut. I am sending my back to them to take another look at.....Hopefully they give us their honest opinion on the holders and not just company policy.

My new additions. I posted these in separate threads but probably should have posted them here.
First is half the Allen and Ginter N28 set. No creases but a few have what looks like a fingernail impression on the surface.
Second is my first Old Judge Cards. No creases and the backs are extremely clean.
I will probably get these graded at the next Philly show if they have on site grading.
Thanks for looking.
Robert

Gorgeous Erick!! Congrats!

Nice Robert, you did well.

I really like the Anson, its usually o/c and sometimes the top of the bat runs into the border but yours has a nice gap of white there.

:)

Steve, nice pickup, one that would fit so nicely into my type collection of Washington players! ;)

Nice cards Robert, your first three Old Judges represent 1887, 1888, and 1889 (right-to-left). Old Judge cards capture early baseball like no other set.

Steve, great card! It is like you are in my head, our collecting interests are so similar.

That Red Cross is in the top 3 of my fave T card backs, congrats.....And since this came in in May and hasn't been posted in the appropriate new pick up thread....A Cabinet type I had never owned...

^^^ Cool old Type I!

What would a type II look like?

An E107 plus another Old Judge and a bunch of other great stuff........but mostly non sport. Additional pictures to be posted later tonight.

Congrats Robert, that is your best OJ by a long shot.
