October Pickup Thread
Kicking off the October thread with a card that arrived from REA yesterday. Rube was quickly cracked out of his slab, the 12th T3 in an SGC slab that I've cracked so far. Scans at the bottom are post-cracking. He looks so much better out in the open :) very happy to be the new owner.

Picked up a Churchman's Ruth. Considering whether or not to send it to SGC instead. Only problem is the grade will drop if I do, but at least they'll put his name on the flip and at least it'll be in a tux. Decisions, decisions... Either way, I love this card.
Looks like the max file size I am able to upload is 19.5kb. That's a pretty small allowance for uploading images of cards. Am I doing this wrong? |

T205 Mordecai Brown with Drum back

Just Arrived Yesterday

Picked up this really nice looking Aaron rookie. It’s a PSA 2 because of the light tape stain on the back. Has the eye appeal of a PSA 5.

Thanks Travis. I am always on the lookout for hidden gems like this. I always buy the card and not the holder.

Nice Brown Ken...Jerry

You can’t go wrong with any Wolverine rookie Cobb PC, and congrats Pete. Since you and Jeff won’t let me buy any Cobb cards, I have to zag to a non sports card of Walt Disney before they become to expensive to buy.

Late Sept/Early Oct pickups

Not pre-war but I won’t complain

Here are some major recent additions (purchased on Sept but not scanned in until October) First, here is an Old Mill Red Cobb I purchased from Jay from The Monster Podcast in a smooth deal. It's my replacement for that PSA 3 that FedEx destroyed and I think it looks awesome! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b4ede06f_c.jpg1909_Cobb_1 by boosandpearl, on Flickr Also added a WaJo from ebay. Card looks pretty strong for the grade in my opinion: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d3577806_c.jpg1909_Johnson_1 by boosandpearl, on Flickr I also grabbed a DeLong Cuyler for my Cubs PC: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a3314fc8_c.jpg1933_DeLong_Cuyler_1 by boosandpearl, on Flickr Thanks for the look and happy collecting! |

I'd gladly own that one as well. :) |

From the recent Sterling Sports auction
My T-206 Cleveland team set is down to two cards : Elmer Flick and Cy Young glove showing This Cy was a considerable multiple of the $20 I paid for the portrait Cy Young in a long ago Frank Nagy auction. 😀 |

Thrilled to finally get this cool catcher cabinet card after a long wait in USPS limbo! The photo is crystal clear!

Terrific picture, Patrick. Nice equipment. Kid didn't work in the coal mines. You've been growing that catcher collection for a long time now. I have enjoyed the ride.
|
Thanks David!
Thanks David!
I'm a big fan of your collection as well. Patrick |

Cuban card...

Added the “partial B” variation of Cy Barger to my T205 Brooklyn set. This completes my set, aside from the much more difficult Kaiser Wilhelm card, which I don’t expect to add.
Will have a better sense once I see the Barger card in hand but it may be a “green border” as well. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a3b2fc2ed1.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...56c23fce90.jpg |

Here is a postcard, the only seen baseball player from the set, I posted in another thread that doesn't get looked at. :) Not sure why a TPG wouldn't give it an A but it's a real postcard.. 1909 postcard....(edited, not rookie) https://luckeycards.com/farr.jpg |

Congrats Chris, great pickup/combo.
Vintagecatcher- the cabinet is off the hook! What an amazing, clear pic. Someone must have had that in a safe for 130 years! Leon- nice Cuban card, very cool pic as well Ignatius and Dave- congrats on the top-tier t206 HOF pick ups. James, nice Combo! |
This is very nice!

Very happy to add this to my Herzog Boston back run. Thank you Chris for reaching out and working on a deal! Slightly more difficult back - 24 between PSA & SGC.

Been looking for one of these that looked decent and wouldn’t completely break the bank. Lo and behold, Greg Morris had just the ticket.

Great cards everyone. But where do you all find the Cabinets, Cuban cards, Postcards, etc? I check ebay, but most of what I see is reprints. Or do you just bide your time on eBay? Are there other avenues to buy cards besides there and here? Or is there somewhere else that does that type stuff (stuff I listed above)?

The Oneida postcard has a great photo and is also interesting because it is an integrated team.

Its also really cool that they are wearing snow pants to play baseball

I saw this come up on the UK Ebay site and it was a no brainer. There aren't many UK issued cigarette baseball cards. (In fact, if anyone knows of any others, please let me know.)
This dates from 1925 and features George Sisler. https://prewarcards.com/2018/05/11/p...uslavsky-card/ |
