March Pick Up Thread
 

Ive never started one of these before so this is fun but heres my latest pick up for my Senators team set

Here is my pickup for my Jackson collection

Jack Chesbro
 

One of the few joys that I have had lately is having this card come to my attention through a email from a fellow collector. It took some trading, my Birdie Cree autograph and money, but finally closed the deal !

A couple of recent pick ups

1912 C46 Imperial Tobacco Chick Gandil
 

Fun little add this past week. A 1912 C46 Chick Gandil.

Nice start!

Happy to get this Joss Front Miscut back...thanks to Kevin S.

I believe it is one of only 3 known HOF front miscut poses that exists (Green Cobb and Cy Young Portrait being the others).

Beauty Mike!

There's also a Lajoie throwing that sold in a Goowin auction in 2014 Mike. All I have is a small image of the card.

.............. a nice, solid BL ............. :)

............ Tinker's bio line about him vs. Matty is a classic ............ :p

Attachment 560111

Fun, Fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Mike, that Joss is sweet, always loved it, congrats getting it back.

A few American beauty backs going into my collection.

Thanks guys!

Ah yes, you're right Patrick. I seem to remember seeing an old scan of that Lajoie. Definitely a drastic miscut, just wish it wasn't cut right thru his face.

That is a beast! Congrats.

Mike, awesome HOF miscut

Picked up these guys for my 1934 Goudey HOF set

It's only the 1st and the board already has some great pickups.

I'm really happy to add this to my collection of "significant others" . . .

Weaver
 

Nice pick up on the Weaver!!!

1915 Cracker Jack Larry Doyle PSA 4
 

Picked up my 1st Cracker Jack. This 1915 Larry Doyle in a PSA 4 felt like a good place to start! 😉

Sorry to hear your joys are few, but I am glad this card is a highlight for you (as it would be for me).

Just bought another American beauty for my collection. This one is a true rarity! PSA pop one with none higher or lower! A true pop 1!

That's a very clean Jackson blanket! Congrats!

Great T207 Weaver!

Thanks Brian appreciated. Now to find the elusive pennant

looks like the forum is off to a fast this month

Love that! Nice card! And I’m gonna have to steal that terminology…”significant others”…for those who aren’t in the HOF but might as well be. That’s great!

Pickup from SSA to break the long, no addition to the set streak!

Only one or two of these are new and just came back from SGC today, but I have not done a group shot in some time.

I recognize one of those, cool to see them all together.

I'd be happy with one Buck!

Acquired in February, but just got it back from SGC today… Very pleased with how it looks in the tux.

Nice Andrew, congrats on the pick up.

Andrew, congratulations! That is an amazing amazing pick up. Now put that back in the safe or Felicia will be thinking Moonlight has a girlfriend

Not a huge $$ card, but finally got the elusive SC 350/25 after years of searching.

Attachment 560340

Congratulations Rich, perseverance wins out in the end.

Thanks. So much of this hobby is long periods of waiting between acquisitions…

1916-20 UNC BigHeads
 

Took another one down the list- Down to 8 left

Added Green Cobb’s #6 & #7 to my collection. Thank You Robert (Ezekiel184) for one of the Cobb’s.

1921 E121 American Caramel Johnson & Alexander
 

A couple of E121s. The Walter Johnson arrived yesterday and the Grover Alexander back from SGC earlier in the week.

Here are just a couple from a multi-player trade (on both sides) that made me feel like a wheelin' dealin' MLB general manager. Thanks again Luke for the fun experience!

Brian (and now my collection has been Howe McCormicked without impinging upon the efforts of our main man McCormick collector)

1914 CJ Marsans
Super sharp card…looks great in person
I guess the caramel stains kept it from grading higher 😂

Amazing piece! Congrats!

Love that Pfeister! The Colgan's square proofs are my jam!

One day I'm going to figure out what they are.

The ghost of Alan Hagler rises with that Colgan proof.

Super cool piece. Congrats!

hagler is an ideal dealer name

The dealer/hobby figure's name is actually Alan Hager.

Brian

I don't have an L to trade him

Big time member pick-up for me. Thanks! First non WaJo I have posted in quite some time.

Chad

Gassler's
 

Decent NYAL Gassler's Bread type card from Brian van Horn. One of 2 graded, none better. The whole set has around 40 graded. Rare but not scarce!

I have been chasing this card for 6 years since I first saw it on Net54. Kawika posted it, and I just loved the cocky pose of this guy leaning on his bat with the hat cocked. After having been the runner up a couple of times, I finally secured Yaeger.

Attachment 561158

That is a cool card with a great pose.
All ways enjoyed those cards

King and Pud

Nice! I’m glad to see you got it.

Great pick ups guys, Fantastic Marsans Tony, congrats to all.

Thanks gentlemen!

Matt, very nice Yaeger -- congrats on getting one you've long wanted.

Brian, those are two really strong OJ images -- they look great.

Another for my WaJo portrait back run. Member pick-up.

Chad

Brian,

Those are amazing Old Judge images! Holy Cow!



.

If you didn't know, Lloyd faced WaJo in an exhibition game. I always thought that was pretty cool.

Thanks for the reminder Hank! I recall it now that you mentioned it and went back and referenced your book. WaJo faced both Lloyd and Santop. Very cool! Wish it would have happened more.

Chad

Lajoie w/bat pick up to add to my back run. Picked up from a member here.

Newest Ruth add. Super fired up to own this one as well. 1920 W519-1 Ruth

This is the Matty I have been looking for and was lucky enough to get it thanks to
Matt G (Id ghostmarcelle) in our BST Section.
It is one of the more of rare of his cards

Great addition to your collection Jeff, congrats.

How about a big Cracker Jack?

March pick up
 

Not pre war, but one I’ve been chasing for a long time (thanks again to Howard C. !)

I don't usually collect photos, but along with the Matty horizontal, the Cobb leaning on bat is my favorite E / D card pose. I am not aware of another example of this photo. (If anyone is, please let me know!)

The letter of provenance is pretty neat -- it comes from a direct relative of Dr. Stewart D. Brown Sr. and Jr. -- and says that Cobb gifted the photo to Dr. Brown Jr.

Fantastic photo.

Thanks to Kevin S.

My pickups from the Philly show. Went specifically for the first 2 items. Had seen them at the previous show, but didn’t purchase then, so glad they were there yesterday…

Was about to leave, then saw this item on the last go-round and had to have it.

McGunnigle

Couple upgrades to page 1 of the binder. Especially happy to get the Epdg Ball NY, a bit tougher to find with an off-back...

Happy you crossed it off your list! One of my favorite Red Border poses and it’s a beautiful example!

I picked up this Orange background Unglaub last month and I finally got around to scanning it next to one of my other Unglaub's.

Like most of orange background t206's that are normally red it has been soaked at some point and probably also exposed to sunlight but I thought it was a cool card for the price.

Attachment 562136

Pat, I think there's times also where the orange background cards (like yours above) is truly missing a final red printing pass. the rest of your card (face, uniform, etc) do not look soaked or faded due to sun. I think it's missing color. You can tell by seeing that his lips are missing the final red pass. Nice example.

Nice orange T206 card Pat. So many of the 'orange variation' T206 cards have evidence of having been soaked, or back damage, like my Criger. And like yours, all the red color throughout my card is missing, including his face and lips. And I don't think the lack of red is due to exposure to light/sun...cards I have seen that have been exposed to sun (for example, ones with pin or tack holes) show a more uniform fading of all colors.

Just another fun T206 mystery.
