December Pickups
 

Little card show gem I picked up this weekend

Nice way to start the month. One of the most undervalued stars in the hobby IMO.

Not a bad way to start the month. Ruth, Cobb, Gehrig and Joe Jackson.
I've been looking for a nice lower grade green Cobb with decent eye appeal, and I finally found it.
Most came from board members - Thanks guys!!!

Two member pick ups and two from the outside world.

Hal Chase Colgan's coming from Birmingham auction

Some incredible pickups to start off the month! Guess Christmas came early for a few of you! :D

Picked up these 4 from the recent Birmingham Auction.

I love that E94 Dooin!

Wow. The 1st day of the month and some amazing pickups already.
Dan, Jim, James, and Patrick nice pickups

I couldn't be happier to trade for this one...

I never realized how much Doolan looks like Mel Brooks.

Thanks Chuck!

New to hobby......
 

Just back from PSA! Yay!

That is a gorgeous card.

1912 Sam Agnew Zeenut
 

Glad this 1912 Sam Agnew Zeenut finally arrived after vanishing for about a week headed East from MO.

Patrick

Just some obscure shortstop for the Pirates 110 years ago.

Straight from BST to me ............ :)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Just received this one - any advice on how to make myself be able to just enjoy it rather than worrying about trimming? I don't have any particular reason to be suspicious, but you know how it is.

It's slabbed by PSA so no way it could possibly be trimmed!

But on a serious note, it's a real card, that presents well. No advice really to give but enjoy it.

This popped up on eBay today. I’d never seen one before and have been looking for a nice Hornsby. After 5 panicked minutes researching prices I finally bought it. I think it was a good price. Only 8 total have been graded by PSA and SGC combined. I didn’t know this set existed before today.

Awesome Adam!

Thanks Josh! I'm pretty excited about it.

Funny, I looked at that exact same card and couldn't figure out what it was. The set isn't even listed on VCP. Congrats on a nice buy - now I kind of wish I'd gone for it. :o Enjoy!

The set is on VCP. They list is as 1932 Rogers Peet.

Huh, so it is. I think I may have just been searching on Rogers Peet by itself, which returns no results. Which is a pretty good indicator that your search functionality needs major improvement.

technically end of October but posting now; there is another one in REA so maybe this will be the first thread with two of these???

Broad Leaf
 

Picked up this guy. It's confirmed on Ted's list so probably isn't a 1/1 but there are zero graded examples on PSA or SGC so that's pretty cool.

Happy with what I consider artwork. Hard to get a playing days ty cobb for 250$

Jason, congrats on the Broad Leaf
Pete, good luck in REA
Mike MVSNYC, glad your happy with the Blank Back, fits in nice with your awesome collection
Wazoo, nice Red Cobb
Jim, congrats on the Green Cobb plus your other pick ups
Congrats to all...

With REA finishing up tomorrow, this thread will heat up

Amen

Nothing for me so far but nice stuff guys!

He's a little beat up but I'm partial to Olive background and he's tough to find decently centered.

Really nice looking card.

Very nice 2 Phil. Glad you were able to get it.

Thanks Andy, still working on the Chance/Olive. Btw, I had your e94 shipped direct to you, let me know when you get it.

Big day tomorrow...

Thank you Phil! Big day tomorrow indeed. I'm getting excited for sure. :D

Lost out on all the 1907 Tigers postcards in LOTG, but was able to get this one from a board member.

Thanks Peter F!

Won one lot in REA for my E-card type collection.

With a name like Amos Strunk, I couldn't help myself. Plus you don't always find that cursive "C" in Chicago.

My REA pickups

Picked up at auction from a member consignment, wouldn't have bought it without the backstory. Thanks for the heads up Scott.

Phil,

Very nice Playball. Will you crack that out or keep it in that slab? Just curious. I assume the backstory gave you confidence in the card as it is.

you gotta keep it in that slab!!!!

Most definitely, that slab has such a nice feel to it, and hell, it might be worth more than the card someday when they open a slab museum.

There's also something about cards from old time collections that I just love, they seem to have more integrity and quality. With all the trimming going on I find myself gravitating towards cards with "honest" wear on the edges.

I'll keep it in that slab. Scott posted the story of the card here and how he got a bunch from an old time collector long ago, cracked most of them but found this leftover recently in his collection. Funny thing is I've had this card on my list of 300 for a long time but most of the examples are OC, too brown, or off reg. I love cards like this with a story.

Wow Jeff, beauties. Congrats :eek:

Thanks! Can't wait to get them in hand. These are my first pre war pick ups in a long time so I'm pretty stoked.

Say it 'aint so Joe.....
 

Pile of awesome
 

Just got these 65 cards in which pushes me over 200 for the set. Fun day at the mail box!

T206s
 

Nice ones Brian...Jerry

that's a BIG day at the mail box!

WaJo
 

I've been waiting and searching for the right WaJo portrait to add to my collection. Finally found one and picked it up tonight!

Nice pick up Frank.

This is in rough shape, but couldn't pass on it for the price; 1

I am very happy this amazing RPPC from LOTG arrived today. I am always looking for Local Northern Michigan Items featuring pro players. Joe

Couple early Christmas presents for myself. Wish I pulled the trigger on a Goudey Ruth 8 months ago, but glad to have my first one in hand.

A great month so far from the looks of this thread. I am sure there are many, many more to come..

This arrived today, my first Collins that I own.
I'm anxiously waiting for another card to arrive, it was dropped off at the Post Office in OH, and hasn't moved 8 days :(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...807e32f7e5.jpg

Great cards, guys!

Jamie, you know I love that Miscut!

Looks like I won this the other night in Heritage...

December Pickups
 

Picked up this 1910 Brown Bros. glass plate negative of Ty Cobb from Lelands last night to add to my collection. That fierce look on Cobb’s face is exactly how he played the game.

Mike, Awesome Tolstoi Cobb, your having a very nice month
Jamie, Sweet miscut, congrats
Lou, That glass plate negative Cobb is a beauty
Nice pick ups by everyone this month, it’s not even half over

That's a great picture, but to me the look on his face says "hurry up, I would rather play ball than pose for this picture".

First Goudey pickup! A few weeks ago, when talking about all of the sports craziness, my friend casually mentioned that his great uncle had played in The Show. A few minutes later, and we were watching footage of Joe Judge playing in the '24 World Series!

Set some ebay alerts up, waited, and snagged this awesome example. Very pleased with the eye appeal, and the (MK) is a tiny little dot that doesn't detract from the card at all!

Nice pick up and great story. a nice companion piece to that card would be the 29 Kashin Joe Judge.

Joe Judge (very likely) was the role model for the Joe Hardy character in Damn Yankees.

I ****ing love this card!

S72
 

I picked up this S72 for my Louisiana collection. Now, I need a S74 with a Red Sun back.

A while back, we had talked about the various uses for the felt blankets. The back of this card suggests making pillow covers out of these silks.

It would take a lot of them to make a pillow cover.

One last big pickup for the year.

Great pick-ups Mike, Jamie, Phil, DJ, Dan, Jim, Frank, and anyone else I missed. I especially love the 1953 Reese -- prettiest card extant

December pickups from Heritage, a board member (check is in mail), and Christie's (who totally screwed me out of a W600 Plank and and their consigner at least another 5-6 bids, but I will post that in the Christie's thread). Hopefully I am done for the year!

great pickups DJ and Ryan....

Looks like a Cracker Jack Christmas with Santa Cobb all dressed in Green...

Thanks Chuck & Ryan!

Ryan, outstanding pick ups, congrats!

Nice pick ups Ryan, how did I know that Keeler might end up in your collection when I saw it.

2020 going out with a bang for Ryan and Casey. Congrats to both!

Thanks for the good wishes Dean. I know I said I wouldn't buy another Rose Postcard but...
