January 2018 Pickups
 

Happy New Year at all!

Just grabbed this Jimmy Archer P2 Pin (Small Letters) off of eBay.

Patrick

I have not posted a pickup in a long time. Here is the start of my 2018!! An N172 Ralph Spud Johnson to complete my single pose Columbus set. I will post the whole thing in the coming days. Thanks to all the OJ collectors that have helped along the way and to the many phone calls and emails letting me know it was up for auction. As well as the seller that worked with me to make this happen.

Great cards Pete.

I decided that in 2018, I would branch out some from T206, but stay with items older than the great depression. So, my first 2018 pick ups are this E90-1 Speaker and this E101 Cy Young

Great cards guys!

Patrick - I love the P2 pin
Pete - That Boston Garter may be all you can afford, but it's an absolutely great card! Congrats!

Very nice recent pickup from ebay.

Glad to see you knock that one off the list! Congrats on completeing your Columbus subset.

Been awhile since I got t post in this thread...feels good.

I got my first card today of 2018 and the second time I have owned this exact example which was difficult to replace. I HAD to trade it for something else and it found its way back to me and showed up today. 1907 FP Burke Detroit PC, one of Cobb's earlier images and I love the emblem in the background. It comes in both black and blue and I far prefer the tough black variation. Also, its unused with just a simple corner crease as it returns in to my top 10 favorite cards.

I’m biased as a Tigers and Cobb fan, but that card is beyond awesome. I’m glad it found its way home!

A BIG THANK YOU to Adam G. for making this card available to me ..... :):):):)

It's one that has eluded me for a looooooong time !!! Happy to finally get it :D:D

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Thanks dude, me too...

I miss that E101 Young. It was in my collection over 10 years ago and I kick myself for parting with it back then. I'm glad someone ended up with it that appreciates it. Believe it or not, that was the very first vintage card I ever owned.

Back when I had it

My first prewar pickup in a while. From a fellow net54 member.

Starting off 2018 with a Cobby.

As of 2018, I'm in the red! Picked this up from a well respected board member via Ebay.

For some reason I can't see the card on your post, but very cool. Always fun when you see an old card turn up (usually on eBay, but not this one, it's staying with me)

Awesome card. Very nice centering.

nice 205 Cobby, very nice actually. Always great to get a Cobb, king of deadball hands down.

That York Ruth is gorgeous. Extremely well centered. Congrats. Good looking Cobb as well.

Some nice snapshots from 1933 of Lefty Gomez, Joe McCarthy and Red Ruffing.

I don't blame you. But, if you do change your mind down the road, let me know! :)

1907 cabinet photo of the Detroit Tigers, image used for a number of postcards. Love how you can see the details of Cobb's spikes!

Thanks Kevin!

Wow Jeff. That's awesome. I've never seen that before. Congrats.

Great piece Jeff, truly historic and a keeper. Good to see you stray from PCs...

Nice one Jeff!

Al’s clearly paying you too much!!

Ha, now that's funny!

Thanks guys!

:):):):):):) It absolutely amazes me how a little piece of paper can make me so HAPPY !!!!!

"Only" Pattee ;) and Cross :eek: to go ................

Fun, fun, Scott

Red Ruffing was #15 in first photograph.

My big purchase to celebrate the new year:

Attachment 301807

Beautiful Chance. Congrats.

Nice centering on that Chance. Very nice pickup.

A very happy (and slightly delayed) New Year to me! If I don't acquire another card all year, this will still be my best year ever. Many thanks to two great Board members for two great trades.

Another P2 Pin catcher
 

Picked up a Bill Bergen Sweet Caporal P2 pin today.

Patrick

Love that Grover H.O.D.P.C. ! Really nice pickups, congrats!

Sweet cards, dude. Congrats.

Yes, nice cards

Upgrade from one I already have
 

Nice gypsy queen paul

Great looking Joe Jackson, Paul. Congrats!

OT:

Picked up this Sweet Caporal overprint. It was the last card I needed to complete my Wheat back run.

Nice Kenny. Congrats. Would love to see the whole back run. How about posting it?

Paul, awesome Joe Jax.

Thanks I would like to see it too. May need to find someone to help me create one . I just have the individual cards now . May try and upgrade a few . I also have the t213 Wheat run but it's only 4 cards . Here are some of them.

Upgrades to my Series 3 OB set are always much appreciated! Thank you David.

Love those Ben! Congrats!

Awesome Wheat run -- lots of solid backs in that sucker. And Great looking Cobb Ben, was that the one that was on ebay (I had been watching that).

I just picked up the Jackson today -- thank you Ken! - and the Wagner a few days ago.

Very nice Ben...too bad they're just postcards :D!

Welcome to the addiction, I mean club...

I traded this away and just got it back today. Far from rare, but I still dig it.

So many great pickups for everybody already!

I had an awesome experience with a board member on this one. (Thanks, Ron!)...and I just got it back from PSA today.

Awesome Steve! Congrats. Been watching that on eBay for a while and glad someone put it in a slab and put it in their collection. Great card.

As an aside, it's refreshing to see that PSA actually got one of these right....

Wow, nice haul.

OT:

Wow, nice Steve!

Sweet
 

Love those Cobb PCs. How cool is it to say “Cobb Rookie”?

It is...but none of those are his rookie...He has his w601 post card from 1906 which predates all those...

Steve love the Chief Pirate back

Steve - I have always thought the Meyers is a great card, congrats!

Ryan - Holy. Crap.

I love all of the Cobbs.

Kenny - The Wheat run is great. I admit to chuckling that the last domino to fall was a Sweet Cap :D

Thanks, guys!

If anybody happens to remember where this card came from, I'd love to see a copy of the original auction catalog. The previous owner had it for over 15 years but couldn't find the invoice that confirmed where he bought it.

Cheers,
Steve

Very happy to add the Chase to my e93 set.


Thanks,

AndyH

Steve- the Pirate miscut is sick!

Thanks to Luke...

OT:

Trimmed version of Jeff's 1907 Tigers cabinet, but the clarity and warm sepia tones make this a true beauty!

1928 NL designated hitter letter
 

Picked up this letter signed by former NL President John Heydler. In it he talks about the NL proposing the DH.

“At one of our final League meetings held at the old Waldorf — it must’ve been 8 to 10 years ago — the League passed unanimously a recommendation to the Rules Committee, allowing a pinch hitter for the pitcher.”

The story behind the NL's ill-fated proposal can be found by clicking here.

The CooperstownExpert.com site has autographs of all but three HoFers who debuted in the Major Leagues since 1900. Hope you enjoy it.

Some rookies - sorry the scans are so big!

Whoa, Chris! Very nice pickup on the Deacon White! :)

Ryan, nice start to 2018, love that Shoeless Joe

Not really a new pick up, but got this back from the framers today.


Attachment 302529

I love it Marty.
I am currently in the same mindset regarding displaying items. Looks great.
I'll try to post some pics in this thread before the end of January.
Also, that Chief Meyers Pirate mis-cut??!!?? Wow!

Turner, that Cobb belongs in your collection...nice!

Yeah, I agree with Tyler. That looks great, Marty.

I particularly like that the notebook cover and M101-2 share the same image, except that they removed Bugs Raymond and kept the rest of the picture in tact.

Cheers,

Richard.

OT. The next Pirate victory parade. Surprised that Nutting paid for the uniform. Tobacco and pipe were extra:

Awesome, incredibly tough Rookies there Chris! Congrats on the pick-ups!

Thanks Kevin and Derek!!

Amazing Deacon White Chris, congrats!!

A couple recent pick-ups you don't see every day, a Lone Jack Foutz and Helen Dauvray Ward OJ.

Thanks Luke for helping me knock off this very difficult EPDG back! Now, if only I could find a portrait with cap AB 460. Portrait with cap and Glove at Hip Uzits are both 1/1s so may never get those, but this gets me to 41/45 backs for the T206 McGraw back run. Its been quite a journey.

Come see my Heinie Groh (and more!)

Congrats Eric. I know that feeling -- its great, but then only galvanizes the ones you still need!

And Luke is a major asset. He has helped me and so many others. Great stuff!
