Adding a new player to the collection roster Jeff?

T206 Cobb Bat Off
 

The four Cobbs are finally back together again. Always nice to max out your 8% eBay bucks

Thanks to Ed for this VE. Now hopefully it doesn't stay in my possession too much longer...;)

1911 Drummond Brown Zeenut
 

Picked up this 1911 Drummond Brown Zeenut on eBay from David Bryan.

It's been a long time since I added any new 1911 Zeenut catchers.

Patrick

I like big borders and I cannot lie...

c1890s White Sewing Machine Co. Trade Card
 

c1890s Victorian Trade Card for the White Sewing Machine Co. I think this image may have been used by other businesses in the period as well. Some have advertising on the back, but mine is blank backed. First Trade Card pickup for me!

Oh my, beauty Jeff.

Thanks, Chris.

Hi Jeff! I'm glad it found a good home. I'm starting to think of your collection as the eastern branch of my collection.

Did Anson not like to be photographed in his uniform? Great card either way.

Yum Yum, G&B and Four Base Hits all have cases of different names/images(so do Old Judges).

Technically August pick-ups but I never got around to posting them. Really like the Large size Gypsy Queen! And one from REA.

3 Hofers
 

Thanks, Jerry. Here are 3 hofers. 2 are raw T206's that I "slabbed" today by placing them into a penny sleeve and top loader...The Keeler is the P150

Great cards, Scott.

T206
 

In looking at this thread I feel like i am telling folks where I live. I tell them we are at the end of the cul de sac next to the big house. :) . Great cards so far this month....
Nice pose by Rube here...

Great stuff, Scott.

That Kalamazoo Wright is amazing!

Ethan, Jeff, Scott - all three of you have had amazing pick ups. Congratulations.

Amazing cards, that large GQ of Richardson is phenomenal, classic looking pose, love the GQs. The Yum Yum Anson is also special. Thank you for posting some great 19th century pick-ups.

OT, but humorous:

Picked up another obak along with my 2nd e90

Nice big borders on the Marquard, Leon. It sometimes takes me a few minutes to sort my pics and preview my post, so if someone just posted a T206 Wagner 2 minutes before me, my apologies for stepping on your post. ha-ha

Some fun cards from the T206 Greg Morris eBay auction. Steinfeldt was the Pete Best of the champion Cubs...

Those are some nice pick ups RC!

The Anson, Wagner, and Wright are 3 of the most unique/greatest pickups I've seen in a monthly pickup thread.

Well done gentlemen!

Thanks o a fellow board member I have finally acquired a couple more T206s with the purple number back stamps that I collect. These never show up but I was able to pick up two recently. I'm very psyched to pick these two up. Thanks a lot David!


.

Thanks, Lou. Nice going, Andy. Those are cool. Sweeney with triple digits.

Finally!!! I have been waiting a long time to see you find more. Congrats.

What is the highest number on the back of one of these?

Thanks guys. I'm super excited to have them. 122 was the highest number I've ever seen on one of these, so now 142 on the Sweeney is the highest number. I couldn't be happier with a new acquisition. Fellow back stamp collector David Brooks is credited with the assist on these.

Andy

Kyle, thanks! Here's a rare one which just arrived:

Sporty PC
 

Just got this sporty PC and I'm glad to add it to my Highlander collection......

Very cool Gary

I don't see how you could have a Highlander collection without that one.
Wow.

Koesters:

I was able to get these two print errors. The T207 is actually my first ever T207 purchase.

Old Homestead Franks
 

Super thrilled to have picked up two of the missing four cards for my set. It has been a long, long time since I've added one. None of mine are graded so PSA is going to get more of my coin.

Been a long three years without adding to the collection, big thanks to Jamie B & Michael Sarno for these two.

Also really appreciate those that stayed in touch and got me back into the hobby, I sure did miss it.

Wow, Chris! Welcome back!

Wow Chris, what a grand way to jump back in. Welcome back and thanks for the recent advice.

1939 Play Ball Ted Williams
 

Very excited to add this to the PC. Thanks to board member the-illini.

Welcome back Chris, congratulations on those beauties, talk soon

Metal catcher figure
 

This cool catcher figure fits right in my collection.

Patrick

Jeez Louise, what a great month so far!


Chris, glad to help kick-start your hobby return. Long time coming.

(Jeff saying you have a beautiful Cobb, is like Ruth telling another batter he has a great swing).


Mark- fantastic addition.

Thanks guys :o

Cool cards in my opinion

Ben
You had quite a month!!!

Mail day!
 

I don't get to post on this side of Net54 very often!

Finally picked up my N172 Piano Legs Gore for my Maine collection!

Thanks Tanner!

Picked up Mack in REA to go with Rube...

Here are a couple of my little pickups.

Got this from a board member, and I'm thrilled to have it!

A few Philly show pick-ups - Thanks Bill and William

It would be fun to pick those up at a local show. Great looking cards, congrats.

That Bender caught my eye yesterday as well. Glad to see it went to good home!

great N167 Connor Mark and love the Mothers Bread Ryan. Loved the T206' pickups too with Lenox and BL460. Nice stuff by all.

Attachment 366100 a bit. Just got these back this week.

September Pick Up Thread
 

Two pickups from the Philly Show. Cool story leading up to the purchase of the Williams... Came home from 2018 National with a Topps Chrome box for my sons to open, and a silver pack for each of them. My younger son pulled a Shohei Ohtani autographed card (numbered to 5) out of his silver pack. Decided to sell the card (something that we very rarely do) to take advantage of peak Ohtani mania, and use the money on another card that would be more meaningful to him long term. After considering a bunch of different cards, he decided that he wanted a Ted Williams rookie. After a year of looking, found this one today and bought it for the exact same amount we netted from the Ohtani.

Philly SHow Pickups

Thanks for the compliments Leon, DJ and Dave.

Leon, not really a “local show”, as I had to drive 2.5 hours. But it’s worth it - the philly show always has lots of vintage, tons of table and great dealers. We east coast peeps are lucky to have so many large and solid shows.

DJ, we need to coordinate next show- we gotta finally meet in person.

Andrew, great seeing you today. I love that your son got the Williams - I remember you telling me at chantilly a few shows ago how he wanted that card. Very nice example. Now we need to make good on that football Sunday get together.

Edited- nice haul John.

Nice
 

Andrew, that's a great story. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Dave! Ryan, we will catch up soon for sure.

Picked these up at the Philly show yesterday:

Great cards everyone!

Crawford
 

This is a tough back variation but well within my budget. Sweet Cap 350/25. Decent eye appeal for a rougher card, and one of only 5 graded and designated by PSA of the Crawford Batting 350/25. https://i.imgur.com/Ad8qQTk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/pxVTQUc.jpg

Dave, you are so right -- those factory 25's can be a real pain. This is true in both series 350 and 150. I have a complete Tinker bat off run, and the SC 350, 25 was easily one of the most difficult of all to find. Congrats on getting a tough combo.

Nice pick up Jeff

A little rough, but down to 1 (or possibly 2) left in the Davis backrun. Any one have a spare E92 Cocoa?
