June pickup thread
 

Never kicked one of these off before (hope I'm not stepping on toes) but pretty excited to add this one, at a price I found to be reasonable:

That’s an awesome card!!

That is a beauty Joe.

Cobb
 

Goes nicely with your E98 Wagner -- congrats!

Joe, you should be excited, that is a beauty, congrats.

Wow Joe, very nice. Congrats!

e94s
 

2 good ones

Beautiful Jay

Thanks all, and God bless the black swamp find. I don't even care how many there are. High grade playing days Cobb was not in my vocabulary before the BSF

Mail arrived a few minutes ago. Time to find some cardboard to put in these...

Happy to add this one to the collection...

Historically significant player. Came to terms with Irishhosta on this one:

Wow Andrew! Great pickup!!

nice
 

Nice ones Jay, Joe and Andrew...especially love the E94s...Jerry

All that Bond Bread talk in the other thread made me do this; I'm a sheep:D

Awesome pick up Andrew, and a super-tough combo to boot. Congrats

Jay, cant go wrong with an E94 Cobb or Wagner.

Big step towards 520
 

This one kind of fell from the sky! I expected it to be #520 -- but it ended up being #516 instead.

And great pickup on the D304 Andrew -- one of my favorite cards in the entire hobby.

Nothing big for me anymore, but I do like upgrading my local teams - replaces an ungraded version:

Beauty of a card!

Whoa I didn't even know Hartley was in this set?! Very nice!

Picked up a bunch of cards in the past two weeks, I just started to snap the pics. Just want to say, all my pick ups were from net54 members, thanks Luke for this one. To all the new members, this is the best place to shop for cards and to find new hobby friends.

Thanks Dan, Jerry, Ryan and Jason.

Jason, congrats on the Demmitt. Beautiful card.

After seeing all those beauties, things are going to get a little ugly. I purchased (for very little) a group of skins from a scrapbook...about 20 in all. Some compounded their sins by also being trimmed.

Highlights: DeLong (skinned and trimmed) Terry, Maranville, O'doul, Kuyler, Traynor and Lindstorm

1933 Goudey: Collins, Traynor, Grimes and Hoyt

And the "highlight" of the lows...These US Caramels

There were also a few Goudey commons. Still, at a little over $3 a card, it is a bottom feeder's dream.

Nice shopping job Todd.

This is a Net54 pick up, thanks to Pat R.

I was fortunate to find these recently which were found in an envelope dated 1911. There was a letter inside talking baseball but not mentioning the cards.

All but one are EPDG backs and they look like they have never seen sunlight.

Uh, WOW! Major congrats on the find! Just incredible.

Cue the vultures circling... :D

Congratulations Joe.

This is what it's all about!

Sensational cards!

Joe, Awesome find, congratulations. You really need to spread those cards out and let us get a better view. It appears to be at least three HOF’er’s

Thank You Guys! Yes there are the three HOFers. I will try to get better scans posted but did not want to clutter up the thread too bad.

Happy to add a non Pied/Sweet Cap Joss port.

Amazning. This is the sort of thing that collectors dream about. Let's see some more of them!

Great cards as usual everyone! Was glad to add two more Cub HOF Kotton cards this month and picked up a few others as well. 3/4 from Net54 members!

Did I miss the part about how you came to find this envelope? I'm sure it's a good part of the story. Please share.

Thank You. It was dumb luck on my part because all I did was find the seller who uncovered them from an estate. Here are a few scans.

Been a busy month

Finished off my Butter Cream set after 6 years!!!!

Super rare Wacky Patches pack 1 of 4 on the pop charts!!!

Posted in another thread. Not really a card, nor extremely vintage, but I finally found a collectible of HOF Spinks Sportswriter's Award Honoree, Milton Richman. He apparently played briefly in the minors in the St. Louis Browns organization, which is why I wanted SOMETHING of him. I collect those HOF honorees who actually played professionally. Terrific cards this month, guys!!

A small add to the E253 set and apparently when I can't get enough candy, I pick up this horrible tobacco habit. :p Thanks Jamie!

My new JOHNSON
 

Waited a long time to find t205 Johnson like this. In hand all 4's come to decent points

Omg
 

sweet pick ups!

nothing on my end lately......but enjoy you guys getting some awesome pieces.....:):)

1915 Red Sox w/ Ruth PSA 4
 

Happy to get one back in the collection...

Wow Pete!

Thanks Jeff!

Pete, incredible pick up. Congrats!

I am sorry to follow that amazing post card with these, but I am too excited not to post my most recent pickups. The (Connecticut) Wagner and the Doyle come from the collection that was shown in the Detroit Institute of ArtS for two years. Needless to say, I am tickled. I will try to post bigger/better pics later.

Wow, just wow Ryan. I'm so excited for you to own a T206 Wagner!

HOLY. SHIT. :eek:

T206 scarce variations now complete
 

The Demmitt has been posted already in the thread, but I finally received the Smith (Chicago & Boston) variation today.

Been tinkering with this graphic of the scarcer variations in my set for a while, and now pleased to complete it.

At 518/520 on the Monster in PSA 4-5, and it's been a heck of a fun ride. Lots of good friends made along the way.
Nearly there now...

Ryan, Congrats on three awesome cards. That Wagner is incredible. I knew you would pick one up, just didn’t think you were going to do it the next day.

Also, great pick ups by all. Enjoy your new cards...

MIC DROP right here. Congratulations buddy!

Pete, big congrats on the postcard. One of the coolest items in our hobby (IMO).

Ryan....just WOW!

Good Lord, all 3 of those at once?! What a pickup day!

Thanks guys. Yea, my head is spinning. I just looked back on the thread - June has been awesome. There are some really beast cards picked up by board members this months. Lots of rare backs.

Holy Shit
 

Holy Shit Ryan!!!...Jerry

Wow.

Congrats Ryan. Not many have completed the set, truly impressive.

Ryan,

Meh.




:)

(Congrats, my friend.)

Ryan,

ill come out of the woodworks to congratulate you on that one... well done my friend!

great pick ups! very happy for you.

Congrats, Ryan! That was quick...

Wow Ryan, just WOW! But now that you've scaled Mt. Everest, what's left to conquer? :)

I don’t think he has completed the set. He just likes Wagner and Cobb, major hof’ers, and rare backs/ combos. Ryan, correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think you have any commons unless they have a truly tough back, do you? And that is really sweet! Congrats, man.

Great job on nailing down the Honus, but an ever better job on the Doyle!!! Genuinely awesome!

Ryan, CONGRATS!!! Pickups of the year by far!!

wow. congrats man. THE grail.

PS will trade you - take my wife.

She's not vintage; only 29 so she comes from the junk era. good centering; and rounded corners; with very good eye appeal for the age. rare back!

Thats Funny Joe. Thanks again all. Ed (Hi!), you are correct that I dont have a T206 set. But now that have the big 4, I think its time to endeavor putting one together.

Three long awaited back up grades (especially Stephens).

Attachment 404537

Three fun combos (especially Hoblitzell). Also kind of cool that Stovall has Lajoie on top :).

Attachment 404538

Three other fine fellows ........... ;)

Attachment 404539


Fun, Fun, Scott :rolleyes:

net54 pick up, thanks Jay

Wow Ryan...just wow! Incredible pickups. Congrats man!! Here's a much more modest pickup to bring everyone back down to earth :D

FedEx delivered these today. I didn't know they delivered on Sunday. I guess the pandemic is over because I had to sign.

T222 Fatima Jimmy Archer
 

Picked up this T222 Fatima Jimmy Archer on eBay recently. I now have both back versions for Archer.

Tough to find in this nice condition!

Patrick

Oh, happy day!
 

Nothing compared to the Cobbs and other high dollar items on here, but a great mail day for me!

Picked these up from another local collector that contacted me. He told me that he had three Fort Worth cards and a price. I picked them up without even checking to see if I needed.

Welp, two out of three were needed. The third, my copy was graded so this will go into the page. I can't imagine this going any better.

I'm now at 14 of the 16 for the Fort Worth Panthers team set, just need the Morris and Weatherford cards.

This just arrived today from the bst. Thanks to Jeff for a smooth and quick transaction and to Ryan for helping out.

Very awesome cards this month. I had a great day, both of my purchases arrived today. Not only did my first Cobb arrive today, but my first honest-to-goodness card of Gehrig arrived today as well from the BST. Both are very eye appealing. Going to send the Gehrig off to SGC along with a couple other vintage pieces in need of slabbing.

Very Sweet CJ Joe Jackson! Very nice condition and color. Looks more like a 4 than a 2.

Congrats Jason...…...nice job!!

After some of the cards posted in this thread this month; this one is almost a letdown. but I've fallen smitten with this set.

Picked up this possible M116 proof of Barney Pelty. I've seen suggestions that these cards may have come from an advertising piece, but I believe them to be proofs. If this card came from an advertising piece, the piece would have had to have been huge. This card originally appeared in a lot of 65 other "proofs". A poster that size would have been beautiful:

Finally picked up a few 1934 Goudey cards.

I don't think a Christy Mathewson is ever a letdown. I don't have anything with his name on it! Great pick up. Congrats!
