July 2023 New Pickups
 

Starting the month with 1 of the items on my bucket list

Damn Jeff, it can only go downhill from here, great opener and congrats on the pick up.

Amazing!

I have always loved Lowdermilk's "I can't believe I'm going to be on a Baseball card" expression ............... :)

[Full Disclosure: I paid a "tad" more than 180.00 for it :p]

Attachment 578012

............ and a nice array of backs ............... ;)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Member pick up, thank you Ed. 1910 T212 Obak Jimmy Lewis source photo.

This photo came from Ossie Vitts estate to Ed to me, super happy to be the next custodian of this piece.

-1910 E221 Bishop & Co. San Francisco team card-

I think I've hit the bottom of the West Coast rabbit hole with this one.

I was planning on sending the Nunzio Brothers to Leon's Vault and strong arm him to sell me one from his hoard, fortunately an act of violence in the name of card collecting was averted and a Member sold me this one.
-

Damn Philly, those are two very cool pick ups! Congrats on the Lewis source photo. That one must have special meaning to you as well.

Phil, congrats on the fantastic pickups of the Lewis photo used for his T212 card and the E221 San Fran team card. You must be stoked! Am very happy for you.

1920s Reach Glove pamphlet

Congrats Jeff. Now we know why you were selling so many amazing cards.

Phil, congrats on your pick up too! Love the provenance

Thanks Andy, Val, and Ryan.
The E221 is very rare, there might be no more than 12-15 examples that exist, Leon has 4, there's an uncut sheet, a Blue Oakland, and this one that I'm aware of. I'm sure there's a few more out there but not too many. The SF team is popular since it includes Buck Weaver, I think this is the only SF Red example known. Fun Stuff!

Only two more cards to go in my 1934 Goudey set!

Thanks Ryan, Phil, and TKD.

And Yes Ryan I had a plan. To stay within my budget and yet enhance my Ruth and Jackson’s. So 1 1913 National Game Jackson, A 1928 Harrington Ice cream Ruth, The Stag Sweater Team Photo With Ruth, and an autographed Ruth Baseball Card.

Sad to give up what I did but pumped up for what I got. Joys and pitfalls of collecting sometimes we have to move things we do not want to inorder to get other things

Hey Jeff,

It's a beautiful Ruth signature too. Very clean and just how I like them with the B in Babe nice and big and the R in Ruth having the great over reaching and swooping top loop that isn't all tight. It looks like he signed this one on a flat surface like a table or desk and really took his time to make it look good.

I believe Ruth was very proud of his signature and tried to make it a nice clean example when he could and this shows that. I wish more players these days would follow that example as today's kids sign like crap for the most part.




.

Fantastic pick up Jeff. That auto is awesome. Great piece.

Attachment 578223

I got the opportunity to purchase most of a 1954 Topps set. I had the key missing players, so a nice completion.

Really love the clothes pins in the Jimmy Lewis photo two of them in the belt loops.

A 2nd year DiMaggio. Love me some Wheaties!

Thinks Dean and Andrew.

I was focusing more on the Autograph for the playing Day card. I Love the Look of this autograph also. Was very fortunate to add this to my Ruth Run

Just got in the mail today the card on the left - N48 Virginia Brights (Type 1) Stealing Second.

Though it's in low grade, I'm excited as this means that I now have 2, so that makes it a collection!

Brooks Gordon & George Yantz T210-3 Red Borders
 

Thrilled to add a Brooks Gordon (Waco) T210-3 Red Border card and a T210-3 George Yantz (San Antonio) T210-3 Red Border.

I now have a very nice matched pair of T210-3 George Yantz cards, both the Oranger Border and the Red Border variations.

Patrick

Pretty excited on this one

Congrats

Nice pickup

That Wheaties DiMaggio is stunning! I’m a huge Joe D. fan and that panel doesn’t disappoint!

Two more off the list
 

Eric had purchased several cards from Scott when he was selling off the 975 Howe-stamped card lot from Goldin last year. He found replacements for these two and offered to part with them.

This gets me down to 127 cards short of a complete Howe-stamped T206 set (no Polar Bears as the family store didn’t sell Polar Bear). Of those 127, only 36 exist as far as my research has shown. But who knows what may show up next.

Thanks to everyone for the heads-up when you see one.

Wow!

So cool!

+1 Thanks Jim

I'm extremely excited to have picked up this E220 Type 2 with a reverse back (printing reads from bottom to top). Some/many of you may be thinking, "It sure doesn't take much to excite ol' Val." The reason I'm so excited is that I've been working on a master set of Sam Rice's cards for several years, and I've reached the point where pickups are few and far between. Many thanks to Jeff T. for making this card available and to Luke L. for pointing me to Jeff.

An addition to my 1924 Senators collection, thanks to Rocky R./NiceDocter:

Fantastic pick up Val, the closer you get to closing it out the tougher it gets.

Congrats Val! Definitely a great feeling.

Chad

+a great pick up Val.

I love that set and someday I hope to obtain a Ruth one

Thanks Jeff

I am SO JEALOUS!!! I been needing him in my collection of BigHeads.
I even put a wanted ad in the B/S/T for those i need left.
If you ever choose not to keep it -LMK

Phil, Chad & Jeff, many thanks for your kind words!

Chris, I confess that I thought of you and your B/S/T post as I was acquiring this Joe Judge Big Head. Just come up with any Sam Rice card I need, and we'll work out a deal to get Judge into your collection. However, the same doesn't apply to my Big Head card of Rice. :)

Jeff - Great PC770 ALPC postcard of Cobb. One of the best postcards in the hobby IMHO.

+1
Congrats on a tremendous pickup!

+1 Fantastic Cobby, congrats....

and a postcard...

very cool postcard

Killer pickups, Val. Congratulations!

Another troublemaker joins the gang .
Not a big deal but this was my first Net54 purchase !
An underrated card of an underrated player (batter up Rip)
Needless to say Brian Van Horn makes for an easy deal .

Nice pick up Eric, congrats.

Picked up a couple neat old baseball photos recently. No idea what teams the guys might have played on but don't really care either. I just like them. :D:p

Yayyy

1910 Pamphlet from The Baseball Magazine offering an 8% dividend to investors at $10 a share. Explains a plan to raise money to increase distribution and quality of the magazine that started in 1908. It’s on glossy paper with a few totally cool pictures including the 2 below.

Great pickup Aaron

That is an Amazing pamphlet and it is in great shape

Another catcher position pin & catcher rppc
 

Couple of catcher pickups: a pin and a real picture postcard.

Member pick up, thank you Ed.

1913 Zeenut with coupon Stanridge SF.
-

wow great pickup Phil and cool with the coupon

Hindu Molesworth arrived yesterday!! You don’t see the Hindu SLers come up often.
I have all three backs now. The Old Mill is a Howe McCormick stamped back.
If anyone has a 1910 Coupon Molesworth shoot me a pm or email. Also looking for a BVG graded Molesworth, there were only a handful graded last time I checked.

Not a particularly wild mailday, but I picked up the final card I needed for the baseball subset of N88 Duke Terrors of America! Still need about 18 cards left to finish out the set, but those should be pretty simple to find.

T206 McGinnity
 

Nice T206 Iron Man McGinnity. also a very rare American Tobacco Co. Cairo Monopol back, a few more cards on the way,,,

Picked up my second Fatima! This time I got the Red Sox one.

Wow strong month everyone Congrats

And we still have the National for many of you

I agree
Lots of diversity going on
& lot of auctions coming and going
Here is my recent addition from Net54 board member Dan

Couple of B18 blankets arrived today; Wiltse, Sweeney and Daubert.

Close enough to pre-WWII I'm gonna fudge it.

Jackie rookie year stub where he had career hit # 101. Hank Greenberg homered. And the game took place on my birthday.

Best Flip Ever
 

.. Best Label I've ever seen ! -- Did the research staff at PSA charge you extra for all those details ? Or did you order it to be that way ? I imagine they charged for " custom " labels/flips ? Thanks , again a really neat cool flip !

..

1912 E136-2 Zeenut Claude Berry...an 18 year wait!
 

I started a run of "Catcher Pose" 1912 Zeenuts back in 2005.

Most of the cards came fairly easily in the next few years. However, one card eluded me for 18 years. It rarely showed up for sale and when it did it's condition was always very rough!

Recently a lot of 1912 Zeenuts appeared on eBay and the Claude Berry 1912 Zeenut was part of the eight card lot.

It took 18 years to find this example which fits right in with my other 1912 Zeenuts!

Thrilled to finally receive this card this afternoon.

Patrick

Been after a T213 for awhile for my Hooks PC, and I finally landed one!

Found a couple of exhibits in an online sale.

Somewhat recent pickup that I just made a new YouTube video about…

W555 Baseball Snap-Shots Candy cards (should be considered E-cards) group including TY COBB

Ending July with a bang! Got my first T206 Mathewson.
