November Pickups
 

Haven't been able to post one of these in awhile. I still need my same 3 but a nice size upgrade for me on Cole

Down to my last two cards on my E121 checklist and everybody has to have a Marsans in their collection. Shout out to member itjclarke for the Sisler.

Great dealing with you Phil, love seeing other N CA collectors out there.

Sold some cards recently, and excited to pick these ones up in return... especially excited to land one of the Uncle Jimmy Jimmies, though no idea why it's posting sideways.

Helluva start to the thread this month.

Wow, that Foxx is incredible. That's an India ink signature from a time when people cared about their signatures. I snuck in and got a 33 Ott and Hubbell while the focus was on that beautiful signed stuff. I hope whoever consigned these two cards knows how much I appreciate our mutual centering OCD.

I love that signed Jimmie Foxx, because it accentuates Goudey’s misspelling error.

Broke the bank with this purchase of 43 different 1933 Goudey cards. Am not chasing the set but I just love the cards, even the commons.

A very rare "Purple Hindu" ........... :p ........... and a tougher than average EPDG ....... ;)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

The Sweet cap just got added to my modest Matty dark cap back run. Would always be interested to hear what you might have to offer, on backs I don't have here!

Was able to work a trade recently with another board member for these three beauties. Thanks again Phil!!

Drought ended!
 

Finally found a few things to purchase after a long drought!

Added another RPPC catcher, a T205 Cady with Polar Bear back, and a new T210 Hub Gilmore (Series 5.)

Patrick

Still slowly moving along on these if anyone has any of the short prints available.

Not a Common Cobb
 

This not one of the more popular Cobbs
But I like the look of this one

Fantastic Cobb! And it sure is one of his more popular ones - love it!

Count me in as another fan of this Cobb Sir, love the "silent assassin" look. Enjoy it for a long time.

Those '33 Goudeys just pop, guys. Really nice. I got back into that set last year, picked up a bunch at the National and had a great time hunting down nice ones.

Sorry for not being prewar, but my only recent purchases. A couple of HOF upgrades. Sorta bummed about the cracked case on the Schuerholz. Apparently, happened during transit - not the seller's fault; bubble wrap packaging looked totally adequate. Oh well, the card is fine. Also, finally found a Type I photo of Milton Richman - the HOF sportswriter, who played briefly in the minors. Aw... executives!! (yawn)

T213
 

Nice cards this month, gang. Still chipping away at all 3 t213 sets..

T213s
 

Nice ones Rob...Jerry

Posted elsewhere but got it in the mail yesterday, via the BST.
Love big top borders..

Very happy to add this Mickey Cochrane to my HOF Rookie collection to kick off November - 1926 Spalding Champions (Sports Co. of America).

Love it. I wanted to pick it up but went with this instead.

Thanks to my brother from up north...Chris B!

Excited about this one!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a6e22ab4d8.jpg

Always down for a trade, thanks again Michael!

Wow that's gorgeous!

I had my eye on this one too. Really great looking card.

Ian - That Foxx is incredible, the other two ain’t shabby, nice pick ups

Rob - Love that Lajoie and Collins, congrats

Leon - Nice strong Cobb with the star

Mikey - Upside down, parts of four backs, love it. I had my eyes on that one for a long time.

Thanks guys! I'm thrilled to have it now.

Stuff I've been able to pick up via trades or buys

The old mill cobb has been one that always eluded me for years but finally found one that I liked enough to move on

Really like the E90-3 Walsh with that big top border. Nice additional pick ups as well obviously. :D

It took me awhile to find one at a good price..always see them for ebay asking lol definitely glad to add one to the box ( I'm sucker for red backgrounds)

Beautiful Cobbs!

I'm really excited about this one. Not an easy card to find in any condition, and this is as nice a 2 as you'll see (a small corner crease and bit of paper loss over the already white bottom border).

Received my first 1954 Topps Hank Aaron RC in the mail today:

Always loved that card. Nicely centered example too

Nice AARON!! That should grade nicely if that's the road you take!

Thanks, Jerry and Chuck. I'm making progress on the T213's

Nice T227 Cobb and Aaron RC.

T206 Spencer
 

Waited a long time to find a nice T206 Tubby Spencer!


Patrick

+1 A week in and there are some awesome looking pickups already.

Another D311 and T206 catcher
 

I went from not buying anything for months to buying a bunch of cards in several weeks.

Special thanks to Kris for the Mickey LaLonge D311 Pacific Coast Biscuit.

Thrilled to have finally found a presentable T206 Syd (Sid) Smith with a Old Mill SL back!



Patrick

Thanks Joe R!

Love seeing nice D311s like that

Picked up from a fellow member.
Thanks Dan.

2nd Cobb of the Month
 

This is my 2nd Cobb pick up this month and I was able to get it with the Turkey Red Cigs on the Back

Love those Advertising Backs

T3
 

Thanks to Ron for the T3 McIntyre variation that I needed. Now just down to Walsh and Tenney (NY and Boston) to complete the T3 set.

Holy crap. Awesome month so far - two t227 Cobbs, tons of t213s, T206 HOFers and SLers. There are too many great pickups to recognize individually, but I must give a shout out specifically to the M131 Baltimore Newsboy... those are tuff! And Michael’s freak is totally awesome and unique.

Thanks Ryan,
I had to have at least one example. I'm assuming you have the Newsboy Cobb, one of the rarest cards in the hobby. Feel free to post an example of cardboard porn.

Congrats. This is a card I have loved since childhood. Very excited for you.

Chris- great fun, my pleasure, and thanks.

Ryan, Chuck- thanks guys!

W555 Hemphill
 

Picked up a W555 Hemphill from recent Brokelman auction. 1909 Meyer Candy Co Phila PA - should have been an E-card

F50 Herb Pennock Yuengling's from a Board member

November Pickup
 

Probably overpaid, but what the heck.

Michael

This hasn't arrived yet, but I'm real excited that it's on its way.

Very happy to pick up this uncut strip from Brockelman recently.


.

Another Brockelman pickup

Three more Brockelman pick ups.

Brockelman pickup. Happy to tick another off the HOF Portrait list.

Chris, that is one beautiful Proof. It was a great trade for both

I joined this forum last week, and I must say I definitely have an obsession now. Thank guys! My newest pickup is this 1934-36 Diamond Stars Al Simmons. It's in ROUGH shape, but the price was worth it to me...as long as its an original.

I am new so I don't know, but is there a certain forum to post if you want other members feedback as to if a certain card is authentic/orginal? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...af1011efa4.jpg

Nice set with some interesting looking art deco styled cards. Congrats on the card. If you're looking for feedback on a card people seem to typically just post on the main board as long as it's pre-war, similarly to this thread.

3rd Cobb of the Month and Last of the Month
 

This is my 3rd Cobb Pick up of the month. Most Active month in a long time.
It is on its way and will have in hand soon.
Rare Back of the 1911 D304 Series

Nice
 

Nice pickups this month guys!!....Jeff, everyone is too intimidated to follow yours!!...Jerry

Whos going to trade me for a nice bat off?
 

Niceeee

These all came from net54 member’s.

Nice pick ups Chuck.

I LOVE that bat off.

From Brockmelman Auctions (A+ experience)

Chuck, does your wife know about these?

So that's a 1, same as if it had been run over by a tank in the mud. I can't imagine what the back looks like, but it must be something! If I was ever to become a high-end card collector (unlikely at this point,) I think I would be the anti-Dmitri Young, collecting only 1s for which the backs had earned all the demerits. Displayed by the front, I might have one of the best-looking collections in the world. Ridiculous system, IMO.

Great card, congrats!

Thanks appreciate it. I have 2 of the 5 Ty Cobb backs. I am going to attempt to get them all.

Jeff

Jeff, thanks for the kind word. Congrats on your Cobb pick up and good luck with the hunt.

Wazoo, thank you and good luck with your hunt fir a bat off.

John, my wife should know, she bought them for me.

Last week a fantastic Net54er got ahold of me about a group of B18s he had picked up. Fortunately, he saw my signature line on a post, B18s, and thought of me. Helps that we have done multiple transactions. He sent me an email asking for my want list which I gladly send. Low and behold, he has 57 of them. Without question, he packs them up and sends them to me. Without negotiation, we agree on a fair price for both of us. By adding this group of 57, I am only 18 Blankets away from the 181 set, no I'm not going to chase the "Reds" There are truly some amazing people here. They treat you fair and honor. Reputation is more precious than any of my possessions, guard it folks.

Kris Sweckard you are a treasure to this community. Thank you sir.

Here is how my set looks in their binders. My new additions are already put away.

Final T206
 

Finally finished the T206 set at 520 with this Cobby.

Waited for the right one for a very long time, but this felt like the one.

So very grateful for all of the help from the Board on the set over the past few years as well.

Attachment 426278

Great story. Honor, integrity, trust, keeping your word, being grateful and letting people that helped you know it. Seems so out of fashion doesn't it? But so refreshing when you find people who believe in those values.

I've sent complete strangers thousands of dollars based on the word of another member here and it's the best feeling in the world.
