February 2018 Pickups
 

Surprised no one has started it.....

Picked up a second Lundgren Chicago with a 350 back.....new one in the left.

Also added a few more EPDGs.....thank you Scot and Ken! Sitting at 227 uniques and updated the collage.

Fatima
 

Nice red Cobby, Tyler..
and a Fatima...

Awesome Leon! I had a close eye on that one. Very cool.

Was wondering if someone would post about that Fatima premium. Hell of a pick-up there.

Love that Fatima premium Leon - you seldom see them that nice.

I picked this one up from a board member - my second one of these in less than a month!

So far this, but the month is young.

Posted this in the thread in the watercooler talk section too.

A good number of decent pick ups here. The 4 Horseman was listed in Ex condition, but it is creased. So I might end up sending it back as I don't deal with any kind of creases. I usually toss anything that's creased in the trash, but this has a BV of $500. So don't really wanna just toss it. So will most likely end up sending it back. Anyway, here's the goods from today's mail day, which also included about 16 different 1959 Topps all-star cards.

A Croft's sandwich!

Dan, I love the cocoa, I should have known it was you that outbid me on it.

DJ

It is available for trade for a raw, low-grade Croft's red back Bescher :D

Just got this cool 1933 snapshot of Babe Ruth. This 2.75" x 4.5" snapshot was taken in Honolulu, Hawaii during a barnstorming tour in the Pacific with a group of major leaguers in the winter of 1933. One of the nicest Ruth snapshots I've ever seen! Big thanks to Jeff P. for the location and date of this fine photo!
Jeff

Very nice, Jeff! It’s nice to see you expand your horizons beyond “just” postcards. You’ve got a great eye!

Great snapshot Jeff. Here's a new rppc as well.

Just think, one of these kids may be holding the CJ Jax and have no idea what they've got. ;)

Thanks guys! I think the vintage snapshot area of collecting is undervalued and under appreciated at this time. You put a stamp box on the back of some of these and they would go for big dollars! Yummmmm... Cracker Jacks!
Jeff

Beautiful, as always, Tony.

Amazing snapshot, Jeff. Congrats!

Today’s baseball card show find. Also got the complete book with all Cards pasted in. Was the showcase for Germany for their Olympic hosting.

.

couple good ones
 

!!

Oh that McGraw... wow.

I don't often get to post any pre-war pickups, but I got some great additions to my Maine collection this month!

8 to go for Series 5 completion!

Picked this up from an amazing board member. The pc796 is the pickup, but since I can only post in collage format, here it is next to its sister-card, my novelty cutlery.

Congrats on the Cobb!

Very nice Leon. I've been at this a while and have seen just one in person. Congrats!

And Orlando - beautiful Sepia.

Awesome Orlando, congrats.

Love the Cobbie Orlando!!

Awesome pickup O!

Ruth Maple Crispette
 

I haven't received this yet, but waiting for Christmas in the mail any day now...

Whoa, nice Ruth!

+1... Really nice.

One of the best Ruth close up shots!

Thanks guys. That Ruth is sweet. Rarely see that issue in such good shape. Congrats man.

Ive always loved the few 20’s ruth cards that show his teeth. He looks kinda class III in that image!😜

A slightly protrusive mandible. I would concur fellow dentite. :D

Thanks guys. My favorite pickup so far on this board is that Ted Williams 39 Goudey. Awesome and hard card to find. Sigh, If I can only win the lottery. ( I would blow it faster than Brewster)

I thought this looked pretty sharp for a 5 so I couldn't resist

Fantastic looking Ruth. Love it.

Here are some chics in dresses...

:D

...dental nerds:D

HEY! I resemble that remark.

:D

Two of my favorite T206 portraits and a D-Unc trade card

Another P2 Pin catcher
 

Paddy Livingston P2 Pin arrived today!

Patrick

Nice Glenn, I was thinking about in on that Stovall but I forgot to check before 2 AM after the auction was already over.

Grats on your wins:)

Nice stuff

Thanks to some awesome net54 members, Mike, Chris, Pete and Don. Picked up a few freaks and a few Gehrig’s.

Awesome Chuck! Your collection is getting even more amazing!

1923 Burliegh Grimes

Great haul Chuck, congrats

Not new pick ups, but Just got these fresh back from SGC today! Pretty excited, grades are spot on what I thought they should be and all b/w cards look great with the black inserts imo!

The Ruth/Matthias/Merkle RPPC dates to 1925-26(years Merkle was Yankee) and is one of the new favorites of my collection. Likely 1925 when he appeared in 7 Yankees games vs. only 1 game in 1926.

Also very excited to add a new Headin Home Ruth to the collection, despite how hammered this one is! "Bijou theatre Dec 8" is written in pen on the back. (Under the pencil scribbles)

Forgot about this guy coming back from PSA too

That Ruth RPPC has got to be one of THEEEEE coolest postcards I've ever seen!!!!

Awesome Gehrig

Thanks! I love it (you have some amazing ones too!) I've never seen any other sort of card type item with Brother Matthias. Also has wife Helen in it too with some other unknowns and Xavarians.

That Graham is smokin'. Great pickups!

Thank you guys for the kind words. So many awesome cards so far this month, you guys are killing it. Love that Ruth PC

Great stuff Erick!!!! Love it! Ruth and Paige PCs are awesome.

Thanks Orlando!

Local pickups yesterday
 

Local pickups yesterday.

Another T206 off the list
 

Had another really enjoyable deal with a fellow board member. Even better, we were able to put together a rare old-fashioned trade for this very nice Vic Willis.

Looks like an awesome day of pickups. Great Willis and Cobb Green!

Technically not pre-WWII, but it ties in:

A few back upgrades, mainly thanks to Luke !!

Attachment 305108

Now, some people may say the Hindu SL is to low condition for them ..... but it's "Otey" with me .............. :)

Fun, fun, Scott

Just some unknown pitcher, the Speaker is amazing though...I love CFs!

It is a beautiful one. Congratulations.

Incredible pickup. Green's (the trainer) presumed RC. Well done!

Great pc...congratulations!!

I love that the trainer couldn't fasten the bottom three buttons on his sweater :)


Steve

Well Done Scott
 

I love the Otey, and the Downs you picked up last month, congrats!!!!

Today was more about quantity than quality as I continue to try and build my vintage collection. As most know, I just started collecting vintage late in the fall of 2017 and have since sold off all of my modern stuff with the exception of my PCs, which will be going out the door (hopefully) soon.

As for today's mail day, I got the 71s in a deal with northview, some of the 62s in a trade over on SCF and some other 62s as well as the Kaline in a trade on here with shortmail.

I'm now up over 450 different 1971s, over 200 different 62s (with 60+ more on the way now) and about 50 cards shy of finishing my '74 set.

Thanks to everyone for the set/vintage collection help.

He actually wasnt a bad pitcher; had a career 2:1 win loss ratio. Too bad his pitching career was short.... imagine what he could have done...

Can’t wait for this to arrive. Ty Cobb’s autograph is beautiful.
