Dietsche Ty Cobb Fielding Rookie

A few more cards for my HOFer Fan Craze run

Nice Frederick Foto!
 

Leon,

Nice Frederick Foto!

Nice to see there was some vintage cards at the National!

Patrick

Love the dietsche cobb and the FF, leon. I added this rare e97 color/horizontal variation for my murray run…a few months ago.

first big pickup for me in quite a while. will eventually crack it out of this slab to include it in my M101-2 album, especially since it appears there is a small piece of broken plastic near Gabby's neck. Got what I felt was an excellent price on it. No complaints.

Nice card...and your horizontal Murray just got verticalized.


Brian (I think I will knock card rotation out of the rotation for a while)

Thank u!

Bought this on my second day at the National and burst out laughing the first time I flipped it over.

Bought these at the National. I’m grateful!

Nice
 

Nice pickups everybody...Wow Aaron!!...Jerry

Probably not trimmed! (thanks Karthik)

Those Wagners are amazing. One of these years I'll make it out to the National. You can only find so much on eBay and the world wide web.

very cool stuff everyone.

Special wow to those Wagner Labels and the condition they are in

Thanks all, the Wagner labels are special. I also got this one at the National but it’s at SGC being re-slabbed (free) since it was moving in the holder.

1926 Wells Motor Company Babe Ruth steering wheel..................this would look sweet on my lawn tractor!!, just kidding

T205 Speaker
 

I'd been thinking I was a Red Sox fan all this time and then realized I didn't have a Speaker. Picked up this T205 recently to fix that.

Congrats Jim

That is a great and unique piece.

Picked up a scrapbook filled with 1936 Sportstamps, including a full set of All-Star Sportstamps with Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx and all the others, plus 18 loose regular Sportstamps that were never glued in, all Yankees and Giants. Pics, bad as they are given my Parkinson's shakes, are in the other Sportstamps thread. Pictured here are the 18 loose ones. The scrapbook also has clippings that cover the 1936 season, the World Series, and the PCL Missions, Seals and Stars.

Wolverine News Postcard Hughie Jennings

Big One for Me!
 

Will be in my hands shortly, but this well loved beauty finishes off my T206 HOF Portrait run! It’s been ultimately an 8 year journey to completion (with a 3 year break in there). Thank you to Chuck, and all the board members over the years who helped make this possible. Now time to do slow upgrades and think about the next journey!

Bill

Great Wagners Aaron, and nice pick ups all.

Another Moonlight Graham, which together with the Gehrig and Evers no team, are all from board members. Thank you!

Ty Cobb Owned Type 1 Portrait Photo
 

Super excited to add this amazing piece to my collection. A Cobb owned, one of a kind Type 1 photo. The best part about this, is the history and friendship between Cobb and the Brown family that culminated in one of many gestures of kindness by Cobb; the $100,000 donation that founded the Ty Cobb Memorial Hospital. After Cobbs death, the Ty Cobb Healthcare system would continue to grow, servicing the greater upstate Georgia area.

"Original Type I photograph of Ty Cobb, circa 1910. The formal studio photograph captures a nattily attired Cobb seated in a chair as he gazes directly into the camera. Together with its original photographic folder, which bears the name of the photography studio ("Champlain Studios/Boston New York Philadelphia") printed on the exterior. Accompanied by a one-page typed letter of provenance signed by Barbara Brown Whitney. According to Whitney, her grandfather Stewart Dixon Brown was a childhood friend of Ty Cobb and Cobb later became good friends with her father. Cobb presented the photograph as a gift to her father and she inherited it upon her father's death. The photo (6.75x9") displays a few light creases that do not detract from its overall Excellent appearance. PSA encapsulated as Type I Authentic."

Awesome member pick ups this month as usual. Nice FF Leon, Ben great Cobb PC, Derek awesome Wolverine, Bill, congrats on closing it out, incredible run.
Ryan, love watching you add to your collection.

In hand from SGC today!

"Big" Old Judge Pickups
 

My first two Old Judge cards: Big Dan Brouthers and Big Sam Thompson.

W575-1 - D-Unc
 

On its way to me... (thanks Ed!)

#396 towards a complete Howe McCormick stamped T206 set
 

Thanks to Chris Browne who spotted this one at the National.

It was also an unknown before this, with no known example in my previous collection, in the 975 card lot auctioned by Goldin, or the 45 owned by others that I knew of.

Great pick up Ed, really enjoy watching your journey.

Pete, great Murray pick up, I never get tired of seeing your awesome Murray color run, feel free to post it with your new addition.

Picked these up in a trade.. if anyone has any other azora poses please let me know!

Attachment 583773

Is that the 'Glove on the wrong hand' version?

Great addition to your chase.

Great Pickups Pete and I

Love that Morton's Sam Crawford Dave.

another Strong month for the forum with plenty of time and plenty of August Auctions to go

Made a video on my channel of my National Convention 2023 pickups.

Didn't have a ton of time to walk around the show floor but found some pretty decent stuff when I did.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc9LYcPz2ek&t=14s

Some really amazing stuff this month! Wow, guys. Well done!

I'm digging those small topps magic photo cards

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Very happy to have snagged this at the National - a Grover Alexander House of David postcard and the type 1 photo it was made from.

Back at it, at the type cards...

REA pickups

2 stunners Michael. Congrats on the REA wins!

+1 agree great pickups and that Ruth Really pops

Congrats

Great stuff, guys!

I won these in REA...picked up the Jordan Hindu as a companion to my Jordan Brown Old Mill.

Great stuff guys and Thanks Tony and Jeff

Congrats Mike and Mike!

I took this sucker home only after about 1.5hrs of serious hand to hand combat, which took the card beyond what I expected to pay. But, it’s a super-rare card, with an impossible back, and a 1912 postmark putting into serious doubt that this is a 1913 issue. And boy do I love the picture

Nice REA pickups for the board.

Congrats Ryan, that Cobb is a special card, nice fit for your collection.

I am pleased to add to my 1916 back Run with Cobb:

Attachment 584501

Picked up a Connie Mack 1915 Postaco Stamp. Love pre war oddball stuff. The color on this still blows my mind being that it’s 100+ years old.

Wow

Very nice pickup and that postmark love it

Happy to walk away with this one after a late night slugfest.
-

After a pretty brutal slugfest last night in REA, I came out with these two. Yes Paul, I was your nemesis. :)

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

(Congrats).

Great cards everyone, several very high prices last night and a few steals.

Horrible trim job but only a handful out there, thinking it went quite low.

My first Zeenut.

Thanks Ryan, love that Cobb! Congrats.

Chris, awesome Red Cobb Sov pick up.

Some great REA pickups. This stamp is interesting- is there anything on the back? Is it a stamp you could actually use or a post card shaped as a stamp? I agree that oddball stuff is cool and has room to run

Phil- great example of a very underrated card.

Greg- that back run is awesome!! Please keep us in the loop. I love that set and think the front/back combos are underrated.

Kenny- :eek: (I wanted to do more eeks, like 10, but it takes too much time)

Chris- nice example of a tough combo. I think you got a great deal on that

Bill- congrats on the first Zeenut. There are about a zillion more if you choose to go that route.

Those are awesome!

and a great month for others too....
.

A modest non-REA pickup. Centering is a tad off but this card absolutely pops.

Ryan, nice Cobb postcard and love that it came from Kansas!

Great Speaker, I liked that one and the Wood in the auction with those better looking darker backgrounds.

My jaw dropped when I saw this in auction. Amazing pick up.

T206 Paddy Livingston
 

This little gem arrived from Lee at Sterling Sports Auctions today.

Thanks Lee!



Patrick

Thanks Ryan,
One of my favorite images and has been on my list a while. I think if this Speaker image was used in the T206 set it would be one of the most popular portrait cards in the set.

Rick Ferrell
 

A pickup from the B/S/T section, to add to my collection of well-loved Goudey HOFers.

Bay Area pride
 

An all SF sports party at REA.

Love the R311, especially since it's Joe D's rookie year. If only they'd squeezed Lefty Gomez in there too.
Attachment 584563

I really wanted the Montana + Dwight Clark rack pack, but I got the feeling its high bidder wasn't gonna give up easy. This one was a nice consolation at less than 1/2 the price.
Attachment 584564

Fantastic Joe D card....and it has Lazerri and Crosetti. Interesting thing about Crosetti, although not a HOFer, the guy was on 17 WS championship teams.

DiMaggio actually had a slew of cards in 36, including that beautiful Chicle Pastels. In lower grades, they can be found for a reasonable price, relatively speaking.

Came in the mail yesterday.

Chad

nice
 

Nice Chad!!...Jerry

Great pick up Chad, congrats. Nice addition to your Wajo run.

Whoa!

I felt the same way when I opened the mail Hank even though I knew it was in it.

Thanks Jerry and Phil!

Chad

Thanks. It’s crazy how much prime baseball talent SF generated in the first half of the 20th century. Since then…. Not so much

Way to go Chad - very happy for you.

Congrats, Chad! I know you'll enjoy that one for a long time to come.

Thanks Val and Steve!

Chad

Chad!!!! Great f-ing pickup. Congrats!

M101-2 Ty Cobb Sporting News Supplements
 

Scooped up this Ty Cobb M101-2 on eBay tonight.

Thanks Ryan!

Chad

The Connie Mack 1915 Postaco Stamp is an actual post card stamp, but it is rather larger than your standard envelope stamp from today. It is a blank back as well. This article is pretty much the extent of my knowledge on the set - https://prewarcards.com/2016/10/06/1...and-checklist/
