September Pick Up Thread
 

Young Ladies

This was my pickup and the reason why I was selling some of my collection that I was very much tied to.

Beautiful card Jeff, congrats on that pickup!

Super cool piece Leon. That’s legit history. Is that the earliest known woman’s baseball image?

Jeff, your BS Ruth ain’t half bad either. Congrats on a monster pickup

Very nice, Leon -- great image and piece.

Jeff -- congrats on an awesome card!

Amazing card Jeff! Congratulations!

Bill

Congrats Jeff! Amazing card!!!

Another rookie for my pre-war HOF run.....

Missed the 1919 WS on account of the flu.....

Per Ray Schalk, had Faber been available, the fix would likely have never happened. Had Faber been healthy, he would almost certainly have gotten some of the starts that went to two of the conspirators, Eddie Cicotte and/or Lefty Williams.

One can only wonder :)

Awesome card, Jeff--congrats!

Amazing pick-up Jeff

Thanks Michael, Ryan, Steve, Bill, Chris, Brian and Eric

Appreciate the kind words. And as many of us often do we sacrifice part of our collection to upgrade or get a bucket list card.
This one one of mine and gave up alot but have no regrets(YET):D:D

Looking forward to a great month of cards from the group and looking forward to see them all.

So these came end of last month, but since I got them from Jeff, who upgraded and posted his phat new pickup, I guess I will post these here, now.

those ladies...don't look like ladies!!!!! I wouldn't mess with them!!!! Great pickups so far...I have a feeling there will be more doozies!

1917 Merchants Bakery
 

Recent pickup

NICE JEFF!!!
Knew something was coming up big, though it might be one of those
Coming Home or a Big Head Ruth in your future,
this was a suprise for sure!
Congrats.

Pretty good September so far!

I wondered how many of those Ruth cards would end up members hands, congrats Jeff, Jeff, and Ryan. Great pickups.

This looks like it will be a strong month for this group.

Great pickup Leon, Ryan(those do look familiar), and Jeff (great Felix Mendelssohn Ruth… Smoking) and ken WOW on that merchant bakery back.

Keep them coming

Congrats Jeff. That FM Ruth, specifically, is really special

Wow, congrats Jeff! I was hoping your card liquidation was for something fun, this definitely qualifies. I've been silent on the pickup boards since late last year as I spent the last nine months selling/consigning and abandoning collecting goals after I quite unexpectedly was able to pick up a card of a lifetime for me, so I know a little about that sacrifice, but like you I also have no regrets. Enjoy that beauty! As Ryan likes to say, monster pickup.

The 'Babe"....Adams. Very interesting career for sure.

I think that’s an Annie Grant rookie card, Leon! Nice!

pickup
 

Fortunate to pick this one up.

Love those Collins-McCarthy Black Sox. Now, if I could only pick up a Weaver......

Not baseball, but picked up a complete set of these.

That's very cool KECLEVELAND!!!!!!

+1 agreed very cool

Can you tell us a little about them?

Jeff—Beautiful M101-6 Ruth!

We've seen the Doyle, N.Y. and the rare Doyle, N.Y. Nat'l, but here's the even rarer Doyle, N.Y. N that I have discovered!

.

Great pickup, Jeff. This is a special card.

First pick up of the month was a real cool one!

very cool pickup Nate

Thanks appreciated and the rest of the items that went to auction in November will hopefully help with my next key pickup after that.

All about allocating the resources and staying focused on what I like(and I struggle staying focused with so many nice items coming up all the time)

From LOTG:

Type cards from recent auctions:

Nice pickup, Michael! Those proofs are scarce.

Thank you...I particularly liked the image quality and condition on this one.

I started collecting vintage soccer this spring. Fisrt thing I did was start researching players, and discovered Ricardo Zamora. Zamora is the goalie in the white sweater. The Spanish league’s yearly trophy is named for him. Kinda like Cy Young.

The 1920s era cards are beautiful, mostly paintings like baseball tobacco. Almost all of them were issued with chocolates. This set has 8 players with 18 cards each making a puzzle. I purchased the entire set. These are the first cards made for Barcelona.

Jaime Boix actually made a similar set of world leaders, the Woodrow Wilson is cool.

Love the oddball stuff.

It is trimmed...but these are tough...

My homies.

Some outstanding pickups, love the BS Ruth, m101-6 Ruth, Wolverine Cobb and Stag cabinet!

Awesome postcard!

Congrats On the pick up Ed, nice Crawford Dave, always a tough card.

Thank you Rhett and Phil. Since it is in the same location as the Portland photo from this thread, I assume this also is a Central Studio photo.

Another pin for the collection

That is a cool postcard, and I especially like the two bonnet wearing groupies...l wonder what the story is behind their inclusion in this team shot.

Brian

great pin Aaron. Congrats and
Great Subject Matter:D

Early photobombing.

Thanks Jeff. I'm getting more and more into pins.

-
1911 E100 Bishop & Co. Cutshaw going for the bare-hander.

Philly! I love this card because it's an E100 and its horizontal. Nice pick up brother. Hope you've been well my friend.

Andrew




.

Thanks Andy,
Only horizontal in the set and a pretty scarce yellow background.
Life is good, thanks for asking, hope you and the fam are well too.

Great pickup Phil

Love the action pose ones and the color POPS

Awesome pickup Ed!
 

Ed,

Congrats on the awesome pickup! The ladies certainly add a period charm to the image!

Patrick

The guy 2nd row, 2nd in is Eddie Cicotte, I think.

That’s Elmer Koestner. Cicotte was with Boston at the time, if I’m not mistaken.

A nice day back

Picked up a 1949 New York Journal American Dodgers and Yankee photo with the original poster tube! Not sure how I’ll display them though lol.

September Arrivals
 

Congrats to all this month on their pick ups!! The Ruths are incredible!

Here are a couple nice additions to my sets that are slowly, but surely building.
The Gandil is towards our Best Friends Set and the Tinker is towards our Father and Son set.

You are right, but Elmer sure bears a resemblance to Eddie.

Congrats on the pick ups Wazoo and Tim, very nice cards.

Thanks to the gents who allowed me to pick these ones up.
 

Headed to the Binder Set...

Sam Crawford, one of only five in entire issue graded as high as a PSA 5 (and none higher). PSA very very tough in grading these...

Posted in another thread but these nice, raw, beauties are newly added.

https://luckeycards.com/t206x4.jpg

Those are extra super rawtastic T206 biggies Leon...congrats.

Brian

Wow Leon, I would say those are nigh on perfect T206's, great additions to your collection.

Appreciate It
 

Phil,
Appreciate the compliment on my pick ups and I always appreciate seeing any new additions to your awesome collection that you share with us... Best Wishes!

Leon,
Those T206 Piedmonts that you picked up are absolutely beautiful!!!!

E253 Oxford Confectionery Ty Cobb and Walter Johnson
 

Pleased to pick up these low pop beauties of Ty Cobb & Walter Johnson from Memory Lane last night.

Won it last month, but only recently was able to open it. The top to a yukata box used by US players during the 1934 tour of Japan. Not exactly a card, but pretty neat!

Me too. They are a great value relative to cards of the era and look really good. Plus, the pin slabs are a ton easier to store.

I saw this at a paper fair and had to have it. Max Baer as world champ. The image is common; he used it for his fan pictures. What made it special is that it is an 11 x 14 rotogravure on heavy cotton rag paper, so definitely made as wall art. That I have not seen before.

Cobb & Johnson Oxford
 

Those are nice Brian...Jerry

Very cool. It’s also Jethro’s dad!

Picked up a Type 1 of Mickey Cochrane

I like it despite that...

Lol😁

Twice as nice!
 

This hobby is crazy sometimes!

It took 18 years to find a nice 1912 Claude Berry zeenut.

Picked up a redeemed example on July 18, 2023.

50 days later I find another "unpunched" example via Mark Macrae!

Thanks again Mark!

Patrick

Have been on the lookout for a low grade Mays RC for quite a while, was finally able to pick one up in the latest Collector Connection auction. It's certainly been well-loved, but I'm glad to add it to my PC! Thanks Scott!
