November Pick Ups
 

I didn't see a November pick up thread, so I'll start. These just arrived from REA's recent auction. The grades look awfully low to me. But I guess that's to my benefit because the grades apparently held the prices down.

Great pickups. Beautiful Gehringer.

Picked up this Century Theater's photo premium of Ruth and Gehrig

Dihigo
 

Very happy to have finally picked up a copy of this guy!

Beauty!!! Looks super nice for the grade as well!

Lower East Side, 1910s-20s. Note the Helmar Cigarettes sign in the background

Hi Jim, nice pickup! I've never seen that premium before. It reminds me of the 1948 RKO Theatre Babe Ruth premium.

Two recent additions to my M101-4 Sporting News Backs effort.

Gary,
Well spotted!!! I've never seen this premium either!!! It has a similar back to the RKO and Allied Artist premiums I have!!! Here's a back pic

#409 in the quest for a “complete” set.
 

It has been since August 2023 that a Howe-stamped card needed to get to a “complete” set of 522 has shown up (since the McCormick Howe Mercantile didn’t sell Polar Bear, there is no Demmitt or O’Hare). Jeff contacted me last week, saying he had found this in a lot he recently purchased and was checking to see if it was one I still needed. Indeed it was. Of the 114 needed to get to a complete set, it was one of the 85 I hadn’t seen show up in any auction or anyone’s collection.

Thanks, Jeff, now down to 113.

My first (and given the current market, likely my only) Wagner. Super excited.

I was able to check another set off in my quest for early Indianapolis baseball — Denny was the last MLB position player to play his entire career without a glove.

It's been amazing to learn about so many issues through this site since I joined 3 months ago.

Always on the lookout for an 1888 WG1 and 1950 Sawyer Biscuit 8x10 ...

I love the photo Brian!

Couldn't resist this one.

Thanks, Lou!

Sweet! I wonder if these all came out at the same time. Can you show your Allied Artist premium front and back? I'm not sure if I've seen that one either. Thanks!

Arrived within days of each other.

Love that Wagner. Great colors!

I've observed you here on N54 from a distance making these pick ups for years. I think it's probably the neatest thing I've seen. It is inspiring. I would love to do something just like this somehow. Good luck to you as you track down the rest.

T216 Young
 

Sam, that's a great condition for a rare back...Jerry

Ok Steve, I forgive you for missing our yearly meet up haha. What a pickup, congrats!

Love those Worches, Mike. You've got my gears turning on looking into my homestate MN subjects after seeing your Millers card!

Sam, "Good Lord"! Those are amazing!

Wow Jeff! Truly amazing pickup. Congrats!

E94 overprint
 

A recent pickup that fits nicely in my collection.

Thank you, all. Much appreciated.

Holy Shit
 

Holy Shit Jeff!!...that's awesome!!...Steve that is a cool Oppie Dildock Moore too...Jerry

Congrats Jeff!

Just getting to see a picture of this is amazing. What an awesome pick up.

:eek::eek:

WOW. What an amazing pickup. Just wow.

Great pickup, Jeff! Repeating what everyone else is saying: a monster card!

Way to go Jeff!

Your Cobb collection just got that much greater with this stunning addition!

I'll say. Holy Crap!

wow that is a beauty

Jealous but a Great Card

Jeff,

Congrats on that pickup!! Your Cobb collection is insane!!

Looks like you still need to add a W600, Texas Tommy Type 1 and the Punch Cobb. :)

Tony

Tony, the Punch Cobb might be the last Cobb I really want. I had a chance to get it years ago in an auction and somehow screwed it up. I pester the owner once every few years and he has politely not moved for a restraining order. To his credit, he's collecting the set and is a great guy so I really have no good argument for deserving the card.

Best of luck in your search!!

Jeff, how about the 1910 Washington Times Cobb. Any interest in that one??

Tony, Dan has assured me he is being buried with the card so at this point I simply hope to outlive him. :)

So 6ft of digging under a full moon finishes your Cobb oeuvre?

So I picked these Sports items up at the Toronto Sport Card Expo on Friday:

Congrats Jeff. I was curious who won this card.

Rob, that’s a beautiful card!!

I figured he would never part with it.

I would have to think that’s definitely a 6 figure card if it ever went to auction, correct??

For sure. My guess is 200-350.

Very nice Jeff! Outstanding!!

Thank you Tony.

New to the forum.. pretty stoked about these ones!!
 

Mize, Mays, Foxx, Gibson Auto, and a Ted Williams Salutations otw!!

In the most recent LOTG auction, I picked up this 1889 cabinet photo of Pete Sweeney that was used for one of his N172 Old Judge cards (pose #451-4, name spelled incorrectly):

Pickups
 

What an addition to your already world-class Ty Cobb collection. Congrats Jeff!

nice pick up Val cool cabinet photos

-
Sheesh! Can someone please find an E94 Horde ala BSF so us poor saps who collect the set don't have to sell a kidney any time we want to add to our collections?

Super happy to add these two and one of the nicest condition E99's I have seen.

Along with the Crawford was an envelope from the consignor who purchased the card in 1980, kinda neat.

Nice
 

Nice Phil...Jerry

Incredible pickup Jeff

Nice trio of cards Phil.

agreed Great Trio

Congrats Phil

Not nearly as nice as Sam's recent pickup of the same card, but happy to add it to the backrun. 1 more known card to go which should be pretty easy.

Jerry, Tony, and Jeff, thanks for the kind words. Collecting E94's today is definitely a look in the mirror and role up your sleeves endeavor.

Congrats on the Cobb NGO pick up DJ and good luck on closing out the run.

Awesome Sweeney pick up Val.

Congrats on the E90-3 Brown pick up Bondrus, fantastic image.

Found another 1 of a kind Clemente item!
 

Couldn't believe my eyes when this showed up in auction! Didn't even have to fight that hard for it! Only one I have ever seen.

A few pick-ups from the Toronto Fall Expo:
