September Pickups

Well, I was hoping to put these in the August pickups, but they still haven't come. I finally decided to use the scans from the auction. I'm sure they will come soon.

This is tough one I have been after for a while.

Holy F!
How????????? |
Holy F&@$ is right Jeff. Holy F&@$ indeed. For those of you who don't collect PCs, there are three known specimens of this card. This PSA 6, of course, being the highest graded by far.
|
Orly and Jeff, thanks for the holy f's, but they aren't that great! Oh, you mean....lol
Jeff, that is a great, great PC. |
Jeff- don't let the guy mess with you...that's a pretty good pickup.

Its not pretty nor was it cheap. However, I am happy to have finally completed my Series 4 set with this pickup! I had been stuck on 48/49 for almost two years until this one popped up. Thank you David!

Wow that Horner is amazing! The clarity on those is just jaw dropping. Love the hair with the parting down the middle.
From the same time period....Here's an item that after extensive research have not seen another (would be very interested to know if anyone else has). Didn't even see one in the Dreier collection. Measuring 2'9" x 13" x 9.5" this Cracker Jack crate was used to ship 100 cartons from the Rueckheim Bros. & Eckstein factory in Chicago. Stamped on the top "C.F. Narhold Co Cleveland" and "Neumeyer & Beach C-O Park Chippewa Lake OH" both candy manufacturers and creameries and were likely business destinations for the sweet confections during the life of the crate. I believe these crates were used to deliver the cartons and possibly unloaded and brought back to the factory to re-use. The wood is very light weight which makes it even more remarkable that this survived 100+ years. On all sides you have red and black writing that is has been stamped into the wood. The metal hinges are functional but missing some screws and both hinges and screws look old to the period. Would love to know if anyone knows anything more about these crates! |
AJ, that is fantastic. Goes well with your original CJ box too. What a unique and beautiful item. Congrats man.
|
Thanks Orlando!
|
Nice AJ!
That sure is a lot of packaging for a single cardboard box of Cracker Jacks -- maybe the shipper now works for Christies? :D Seriously though, that is a great display you have. |

Just got back from the Long Beach Expo. Great to finally meet Mark and Sal. Saw some great stuff at the Memory Lane booth, a Cobb Lucky 7, Ruth bat and card, some high end T206 Cobbs. Small enough to be personable, big enough to have nice stuff. And if this Southworth isn't just the cutest thing?

Here's a 1929 Kashin Publications 5" x 7" Premium of Irving Hadley. Never knew these existed until I saw a Babe Ruth one posted in an earlier thread!

Pete, nice pickup from Dan.
I just got some cards back from SGC. A bit of a scare when I realized they shipped and were being held at the West Palm Beach distribution center on Sept 7th (Palm Beach County was under mandatory evacuation by the 7th). At any rate, my cards made it out safe and I hope for the same favorable outcome for all those potentially impacted by Hurricane Irma. The pair of Newsboys came courtesy Tony Arnold at the National. Thank you Tony, this brings me to an even dozen. These cards have been rather elusive, would love to see others out there regardless of their availability. This final card is a special addition to my collection. This one is courtesy of a trade with Jay Miller and brings me one card away from full Pete Conway sweep. I now only need pose 5. The back shows evidence of being from Buck Barker who presumably obtained it from Keith Mitchell (see 1979 notation at bottom). Jay obtained the card in 2004 from Lew Lipset so it has been in good company (Mitchell to Barker to Lipset to Miller). Thank you Jay! |

I'm having a good month with the E104-3s. A special thanks to K for the Kelly and the Goostree. The Welf was off e-bay, and left Florida right before Irma got there.
|
Any month that you pick up a Kelly Mascot and a Goostree Leaning on Bat is a good month.

With the acquisition of the Heinie Wagner, I have completed my T205 Red Sox team set. The Kleinow and Wagner were more difficult to find than I had anticipated, but the search was fun... The Henriksen was an impulse Ebay bid that I ended up winning. Kinda cool that on the back he is described as "the viking descended outfielder of the Boston Americans".

1 of 1 graded by PSA (Seems there are 1 or 2 raw copies out there as well)
An E121 type card. |
Dimitry, nice pickup! I encourage you to also show the back of your card, which, IMHO, is more interesting than the front.

Happy to find this clean Leaf Jackie. Traded the very hard to see crease for great centering and nice corners. Love to collect in the 3-5 grade range if they look like this...

Chuck, I'm surprised you were able to acquire that Boston Braves Season Pass, as it is, by its own terms, "Not Transferable."
