July Pick up Thread
 

Wow, first time I've started the monthly pickup thread. Recently added the purple color variation as I very slowly work on the different color types for this card.

Wow Gary

setting the bar high and fast start

Great Pick up

Happy to pick this up.

Arrived today! My Demmitt comes back from SGC on Tuesday!!

Great start to the month Gary, good luck on finishing the run.
Very nice pick ups Joe & James.

Nice one, Joe! Congrats!

WaJo back run
 

A very exciting addition to my WaJo back run

Wow. Congrats! I had never seen the T215-1 WaJo before only the T215-2. Thanks for sharing.
Chad

Wow! Big one! Congrats!

Amazing WaJo, Congrats S!

Thanks guys! It's been a number of years since I've been able to add one to my run, and I think it'll be many more, if ever, before I add another.

Cheers,
Steve

Steve, congrats re this fantastic addition to your WaJo back run. From doing my Jennings back run, I know the special excitement one feels when one obtains a rarity to get closer to the finish line.

Beautiful card Steve, congrats on the pick up.

Holy Shit!!
 

Holy Shit Steve!!...Jerry

Gary, nice color run on the Babe. Those look fantastic all together.

I agree 4 is a nice solid grade for the EGGS basket. What’s your score?

Great thread already guys, and it’s only the 3rd!

Great Pickup and Congrats on completing the quartet. Some day (hopefully sooner then later) I will join you in completing the quartet

............. Top two cards from a GREAT "old time" trade with Ken ................... :)

.............. Bottom two cards from nice ebay BOs .................... ;)


Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Congrats Erick, great group of Ruth's

Great cards, everyone. I don't know where Jerry and Steve find all of these cards. Fun to see.

Here's a WG1 from the Esch collection. I don't know much about this set, but they don't seem to come up for sale very often.

Also, a 9 OC Goudey of Wright. I know this one may get some boos, but I thought it was kind of nice, with sharp corners. I'm not a graded guy, but have some high grade, slabbed stuff for fun.

The OC works on your Wright Rob, the strong red vertical acts as an anchor and a pseudo border, all the movement is away from the anchor si it winds up being very pleasing to the eye. Nice pick up.

thanks to david for getting me this ruth for my collection. Looks like Ruth was the last card on the strip...accounting for the large rt border...still cut very nicely. I like evidence of use personally...i will not be going for the color variations or an example with better centering!!!!

Nice W517 Ruth. I really like that pose.

I believe that the original 3 card strips were all horizontal, not vertical, so the other 2 cards that were originally with Ruth would have the same left to right centering.

Another "catcher" real picture postcard
 

My collection of catcher real picture postcards continues to grow.

This beauty arrived today.

looks like I was scammed! I retract my july acquisition!!!! Figures 1st time I ever posted before receiving card!!!!!

1934 Carrera's Film Stars - The Four Marx Brothers
 

First pre-war purchase in quite some time.

I didn’t know they played baseball.

I didn’t know they played baseball

Well played George.

I love that set!
I’m a huge fan of classic movies and I do collect cards of actors and actresses.
That Carrera set is loaded with Hall of Famers!

Thanks, Jeff, Phil!

George,

Nice pickup. These aren't recent pickups and aren't for sale, but do come with musical accompaniment.

I don't think I have seen a horizontal w517 strip but have had several vertical ones.

I’ve been wanting a Marx Brothers card for a while. The Carreras was the earliest and coolest one I found. I love the oval shape. You are right, the Carrera’s set is great. I almost got a complete album but the guy with the one I wanted didn’t ship to the U.S. The theatre lobby cards from back then are cool looking too. But I don’t know enough about them to get into collecting those.

Down to just 3 left on the baseball subset for N88 Terrors of America!

Final piece of the puzzle...
 

Couple of arrivals yesterday -- one T206 HOF upgrade, and the final piece to a Leaf run that's been going for about 10 years now. The Rizzuto was sneaky tough to find a nice copy, but glad I waited. Very pleased!

Happy to pick up a couple of Candy rare-backs, I believe both of these cards were owned by board members here at some point.

Nice ones Phil. I had my eye on those...Glad they found a home with a board member....

Thanks Leon,
Always fun to see/read about these cards on an old Net54 thread and see them end up back in the cllubhouse.

Gertenreich
 

Those are nice Phil...Jerry

Thanks Jerry,
I love rarities like those, of course the normies outside of Net54 have no idea about these cards. Hope you are well and congrats on your recent pick ups, I don't know where you find that stuff, if I didn't know better I'd think you were a pre-war "Highwayman"...

Where were those cards listed?

Great red cross, Steve! Really awesome.

T202 Lord Gets His Man
 

Another strong month of acquisitions for the "54". Let my copy of this card go about 8 months back and as a Black Sox fan immediately wanted one back
. On a side note, this was my 1`st venture into the new ebay "authenticity" program, NOT a fan so far.

Nice ones, Phil. The Smith was in REA in 2020.

Here's number 7 of the Bescher back run. Thank you, Dean's Cards.

Thanks Rob, both cards were in the recent Cleansweep and I overpaid but "what're ya gonna do". Bescher back run, that's cool, was just talking to a fellow member about an ecard back run too. Good luck on the run.

Speaking of E card back runs- won this tonight and am hoping it’s the beginning of an E92 run though I’m well aware of the abject difficulty.

Nice Adam, congrats.

E92 run? YOu can't stop there!

Just want to make sure I can crawl without falling on my face first. I’ve only been in the prewar world for 2+years now and never considered a back run but damnit if you guys don’t provide some epic goals.

Gary, How many different colors are there that you know of?

Petes the back run crack dealer standing on the corner encouraging you to just give it a taste, 1st ones free Bro...

Unfortunately, I recently jumped into the back run rabbit hole too (not Crawford), good luck on your run Adam.

Outstanding Gertenrich example Phil, I've only seen 2/3 ever without paper loss.

Good luck with the run whether you decide to stick to just the E92 or the full run. As someone who considered doing the full run of Crawford for a quick minute before I came to my senses, I would very highly suggest if there is even a chance you might do the full run do not pass on any of the extremely difficult ones if you see them regardless of the condition or progress you have made on the E92s.

I think there's around 10 with possibly 1-2 more. Here's my other W517 run that's further along. Here, I think I'm still missing purple, orange, and bright green. I know some people might say that bright green and regular green (or bright brown and regular brown) are really the same colors but they may look different due to fading after exposure to sunlight, etc. That is definitely possible, and I'm not discounting that, so I might have some duplicate colors here. However, to me, they looked different enough that I put them on here.

The extremely rare non-Pittsburgh, non-Louisville 1895 N300 Mayo Cut Plug "St. Paul" Glasscock. ALL-tered.

As per usual with these, the one and only in existence.....

Greg, I cost you some money at the end on that. I also fell asleep and didn’t bid more. Glad it went to a good home.

My first Wagner. Also my first Polo Grounds card.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9b926e76a2.jpg

1883 terre haute cabinet card
 

features a few early images of players inold judge set.

Rhett, sorry, I went to bed as well, not winning, which was fine, woke up and saw still alive at 1:45, so topped....

I had one of these a few years ago, an SGC 8, and always loved the "one and only" angle, but sold it in my tragic sell-off--for far less than I thought these unique items worth. Still wonder why still "affordable" but surprised and happy to get one back, and under-graded and well-centered no less....

Not exactly a pickup, but got my Shoeless (not to mention Chapman and Lajoie) back from re-holdering.

Also got my first Duke and only 52 Topps in. I can't get over the centering on this one, perfect.

Nice E94 upgrade, thank you Mac (and Bruce).

And went on a bit of a Bender bender...

I can't believe how vivid, centered, and clean this looks! The best player of the 19th century according to Cap Anson, Paul Hines, and an 1894 players committee including O'Rourke. The former Home Run King. It's already off to get it's tuxedo label so I'll be posting it again when it gets back.

You never disappoint Phil. Fantastic haul.

Nice Leach upgrade and Benders Phil. Glad you got them my friend.

Thanks Andy and Adam.
Andy, thanks for keeping an eye out for me.

Couple double plays and non-sport..Nice pick ups everybody!
