June Pick Up Thread
 

I have sold a lot of stuff this year, leading many to ask if I am giving up cards …. Nope, I just picked this up last light.

Monster pick up Ryan, congratulations.

That was quick!

Wow awesome pickup Ryan , congrats!

Monster cabinet! Congrats!

Wow and wow.

That is indeed a Monster pickup.

Congrats and I am sure that jumps to the of your collection or at least close to it

Ryan will no doubt own the month by picking up that monster! Congrat's Ryan!

Here are a couple more hall of fame 300+ game winners just in to keep the pitcher theme going!

I too sold some stuff to allow this acquisition. I’m truly grateful!

Wow Aaron! That is a beautiful Cobb Uzit man.

Damn!!! The board is on fire this month with just the first handful of pickups! Everyone has gotten some amazing stuff the first couple days.

Congratulations to all on some serious cardboard additions,
Bob

Accidentally double posted, so I’ll put some cards in this one!

Knocked off Vic from the HOF set. The EPDG had been in my raw box for a while so decided to get him slabbed to add to the line.

Good stuff, y’all,
Bob

A couple of oddball Ruth items

Well, I didn’t expect a once in a decade+/generation card to come up like that.

Thanks all and congrats on some amazing pick ups so far this month.

Nice Start
 

Nice start to the month everybody...Jerry

That is gorgeous. You must have sold some great cards to fund that beauty. Congrats on the pickup, Aaron!

Thanks Andrew & Darryl, this will be it for a while.

WOW! what a pickup.
June already has a lot of great cards in this thread!

What a great start to the month, nice pickups everyone!

Smith and White
 

Nothing too special, but these two Cycle 460s arrived within the past few days. These help to put me over 250 in my journey to complete my master T206 White Sox set.

1916 Block and Kuhl
 

Slowly chipping away at a M101 back run,,,,

This walked up to me yesterday at the flea market I occasionally set up at. Ignore the price sticker. It was loose within a stack of 60s commons so I had to put it in something

And from where did you acquire such a beauty? :D

Never thought I'd see an e107 at a flea market, congrats!

+1 congrats!

I only tend to find ‘88 Donruss at flea markets.

What would you do for a Klondike card? Couldn’t help myself.

thanks
 

thanks for the kind words Jeff,,,,
and thanks for a great auction Scott!

On a side note-
holy cow on the E107 flea find---needle in haystack!
love to see it

Thanks lol, We had a lot of cool stuff in this auction was hoping some of it (the Bender was ours also) would pop up here. We can surely use the publicity. Glad we could help out your collection!

Scott, the Block & Kuhl's were a treasure-- I won four, along with another toona:

Comment to mrrealit68 about shoeless joe
 

Totally respect that you are seeking his autograph. I visited the Shoeless Joe Museum in Greenville, SC last year. One of the exhibits is a scanned copy of his will, which has his signature...the best he was able to sign his name....behind glass. The curator on the tour was asked if it was the original will. He chuckled and said if it were the original they would have to hire an armed guard 24 hours a day, that it's worth exceeds $1 million. I think he said the original is in a vault somewhere in Atlanta.
Obtaining his autograph will be very tough and very, very expensive.

yeah they pretty much blew our mind to see 7 at one time!

I had been after one of these single-signed balls for a while. Finally got lucky.

Nice batch of high grade E90-1’s Greg!

Thanks Tony, I appreciate that!

Wow guys, incredible start to June- Uzit Cobb, Drum...Ryan's Cy!

Amazing card! Congratulations!

Unique and antique pickup in the collectors connection auction, right up my alley.

My first "pre-war" card. Picked up at the LCS today. Liked the centering.

Eh, I picked up this PSA 1.5 (MK) 1933 Goudey Ruth #144 in the Mile High auction based on an oopsie. I looked at the pictures and thought it looked awesome... I figured the "MK" designation must be for a slight imperfection on Ruth's left shoulder. The back looked great.

It turns out the photo of the back was switched with another cert for a higher-graded card (91183999, instead of 91183996), and I didn't look closely at the numbers. Live and learn.

Did they send you the actual scan of the back?

No, I figured out later that the scan of the back was swapped with the back of a PSA 2 that they had in the same auction.

Dang, that's kind of a big oopsie on Mile High's part.
I was one of the bidders on that card as well and didn't notice the cert numbers not matching front/back either.

I suspect other people did notice the error and bid accordingly, or people really are just paying for the grades. The PSA 2 Ruth went for $11.3K, even with the wrong back pictured.

I like the 1.5 - Ruth’s face is clearer

My first ever pickup from The Collector Connection. I can’t decide if this is more trade bait for the National or if I’m starting a back run as a side project. Many thanks Scott for the really fast turnaround!

Glad you're conflicted! We do our best to ship quickly.

E224 Texas Tommy Mack
 

Darryl that is a cool Jacklitsch...here is my first and probably last Texas Tommy...Jerry

Thanks, Jerry! That Texas Tommy Connie Mack is very cool.

Beauty Brian, congrats.

These three arrived in the past week. I overpaid for the cabinet but could care less; as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. The cabinet looks so much better in hand than that scan shows.

Very nice Jerry!

Greenberg
 

Thanks, Paul!

Great cards everybody -- Jerry, love the Mack.

Thank you to Aaron for this pickup -- and congrats on your Uzit as well!

Incredible!

Thanks
 

Thanks everybody...love that Cobb Nadja Steve...Jerry

Wow Steve - beautiful E92 Nadja of Cobb. Such rare card.

Awesome card!

Well, I was prepared to "overpay" for the cabinet at one increment lower...congrats on the win....your "overpay" beat my "overpay limit" by one bid.

Wow, that Nadja is such a beauty.

E90-3 Fred Payne, Chicago White Sox
 

Finally pulled the trigger on this Fred Payne E90-3 American Caramel.

Always liked this portrait of Fred Payne. It will make a nice companion piece with my other E90-3 catcher card, Jimmy Archer.

Patrick

Ha! I wondered if someone on Net54 was running me up. Better you than the house (not implying that this has ever happened). It's definitely a beauty.

Thanks, everyone! Very excited to have added it to my collection.

Bam!! Congrats. Huge pick up

Congrats Steve! Very nice.

Chad

Nice pick ups everyone especially Steve's Cobb and Ryan's Cy!

I posted this on the Postcard thread, and since it’s a June acquisition thought I’d also post it here.

I received this RPPC of Kelly Mascot, the seven-year-old son of Goldsboro’s 1910 manager, M. J. Kelly, as a birthday gift from my friend David McDonald. The PC is doubly interesting since it is addressed to the wife of a pitcher on the Goldsboro team, Fred Stoehr.

I’m going to write more about the Kelly-Stoehr connection but wonder if anyone else has seen another copy of this PC?

I have a few RPPCs from the Eastern Carolina League in the same format as this one, and they usually depict a player whose image appears on T209 and T210. I’m trying to determine how many of the PCs exist and would appreciate knowing if anyone else has examples.

Thanks for looking,
Mike

Usually Old Judge "proofs" go for $750-$1500 unless it is a better player. Or in this case, a particularly nice image. So, yes, a little more than usual, but it's like when a better-centered card commands a premium over the usual price for that grade...it's more than usual but understandably so (and I had reached what I could afford on this month's budget). Just don't post it in too many threads!

Beautiful and awesome pickup, but even cooler story on David sending it to you for your birthday! That's what the hobby is all about!

No doubt about. An awesome pc and an even more awesome gesture.

What a card!

1936 Sport Stamps - Detroit Times
 

The only Cobby I can afford lately. One of the distributors I didn't have so that's a plus too...The NY lineup on back is kind of cool also.

This beauty arrived today…

How about that '47 Brooklyn team. Another few off my want list. Not sure why Jackie is only a 4.

because they never give these more than 4's lol. We had a stunning complete Yankee set, original envelope and virtually no wear. We got one 4.5 and a pile of 4's and a couple 3's

https://thecollectorconnection.com/b...e?itemid=63321

At least they are consistent (in being wrong!) lol

I'd have to think that these are similar to grading the premiums from the 30s. Hard to get higher than VG-EX because the paper is so thin and lends itself to bending easily.
