April New Pick Ups Thread!
 

A game card. These can be had relatively inexpensively which is always a plus. And I wanted to fill a hole in the types...

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Hi Leon,

These cards are really nice. When I had a previous type card collection of pre war, I wanted Honus Wagner and Cy Young that was relatively affordable and I was able to knock them off by these game type cards. They have cool photos too!

Ricky Y

Wow, where did you find a blue Lajoie? That's a tough one.

Heritage...

1915 F. Vanderherchen’s Sons, 1914 Athletics Champions trade card
 

They say that if you see something that you’ve never seen before, buy it…so I did. I paid up for it too but I’ve never seen this trade card before and I can’t find another example online anywhere.

Old Put
 

Nice blue Old Put Sam...Jerry

When I got home from the Chantilly Show on Saturday, this card was in my mailbox. Thanks again, Leon, for the trade.

A big congrats, Jamie!

Great pick up

Congrats that is a SWEET Grail

Congrats

Great Babe Bows out photo, that's my old copy, miss it.

so excited about this one coming in - the original art / drawings / paste-ups for the 1974 Laughlin Old Time Black Stars set. as a passionate NLB card collector, its hard to think of something much better for the price point.

First non-Black Sox card in quite sometime, but thrilled to have it

D303 Cobb
 

That General Baking Cobb batting is great regardless of condition...Jerry

one from chantilly on sunday (waddell) + one from a trade + purchase today (joss)!

grabbed a fair bit of some e90s and w515s as well!

Thanks Jerry! Tough card so I’m happy with it!

For a collection as specific as yours that must have made your eyes light up when you saw it. Congrats.

Big thanks to Sonny T!

Great looking cards so far, this month!

A 1923 Fleer back....Thanks Val!

A big thank you to Ben Fisher for doubling my E107 collection. This is also my fourth different card of George Van Haltren, after my N172, Newsboy Cabinet, and W600 Sporting Life Cabinet. I think I'll be starting a campaign to get this deserving and overlooked player elected to the Hall of Fame.

Thank you to Mac (obcmac) for the deal on the 1915 CJ Matty! It's an absolute beauty and super pleased to have this in my collection!

Beautiful Blue E98s!!!!
 

Andy and Sam,
Thanks for posting your beautiful Blue E98s!!!
Andy, love your very clean Lajoie!
Sam, love how the blue pops on your Old Put!!!!

Tim

There's still an occasional good find on ebay.

It's not a good Cobb. Maybe the worst Cobb. But he's my Cobb, and I love him.

As for the other two: Roush is Neilson's Chocolate type 1, and Hooper is a W573.

Got these in a trade

I managed to source a handful of early pre-war here in the UK.

• T209-1 Contentnea
• E97 C.A. Briggs
• a couple of E91 American Caramel
• T20 Old Mills

I'm a novice when it comes to some of these sets but trying to build slowly.

Great looking cards!

Pickup from Strongsville

.

Strongsville Show
 

Went on Friday only. Nice show. Wasn't really looking for the Ruth but couldn't believe the condition.

Sam the eye appeal on that pair are off the charts.

Way to go!

Strongsville Show
 

Thanks Tony! That Ruth is crazy nice for the grade. I showed it to Memory Lane and a few of the dealers and they said so as well.

(New to the forum)

Don’t know how to post a picture from my library on the iPad, but yesterday at a local west coast show I scored:

—T206 Mordecai Brown (portrait, Piedmont 150, PSA 1.5)
—T205 Fred Merkle (Piedmont 25, PSA 5)
—T205 Clyde Milan (Piedmont 25, PSA 4.5)
—1922 E120 American Caramel Ed Gharrity (SGC 1.5)
—W512 strip hand-cut Rogers Hornsby (raw)
—1887 Allen & Ginter John McMahon (wrestler, SGC 2)

All cards present very well to the front, IMHO.

Steve

Sam, those are spectacular....... Congrats.

Think I figured it out…

Fantastic cards! What did you trade, a house? :D

Latest Pick-Up
 

The old collection, I had a '33 Goudey in an SGC 3. Unfortunately, I can no longer afford that. This was a reasonably priced alternative for a "playing days" Ruth.

Slowly chipping away at the P42 HOFer group. Happy to check off Cy Young!

Some fun stuff in the thread this month already!

Enjoy,
Bob

Beautiful card!

Strongsville pickups. Excited to add my first Wagner.

Congrats on those wonderful Strongsville pickups, the Cap Anson is my grail (and it looks fantastic)!

Speaking of looks, Ott seems like he’s about to deliver a beatdown... :)

One P42 Young in waiting when I got back from vacation and this one just got dropped off now! When it rains it pours. I may use one for trading stock, or maybe one for the backs line and one for the P42 group.

Happy mail day, two days in a row!

Enjoy,
Bob

My biggest pickup of my life, have dreamed of owning this. Thanks to Kevlo17 on here for making it a reality!

Wow that is a blazer, nice centering and clarity. Congrats! You hit it out of the park.

Great looking Goudey Ruth! Congrats!

Congrats. Great looking card!
My fave from the set.

I’ll add to the praise: terrific eye appeal for the grade. Congrats!

Grail piece for sure! Congrats!

Much loved and beautiful.

I see why a 1, but a beautiful example!

Beautiful card , hard to find one where his face is in focus like that

Glad it made it and happy it went to a good home!

As other have said what a beauty of a pick up

Congrats

Mikey, concrats on the Solly BL, I know you were hunting for one.

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Who says there aren't inexpensive playing day cards of Ruth. So, there's an uneven top border. So, I'm going to baseball collectors anonymous soon.

E106 speaker

Great, colorful looking E106 Speaker. The glossiness seen on the E106 cards really can intensify its look.

Brian

Even non-superstars can have great looking cards. Here is a R314 Goudey Wide Pen card of Gee Walker, who also wasn't too big of a schlub...almost .300 career lifetime hitter, almost 2000 hits, almost 1000 RBI's...

Brian

I have owned a beat one in the past

I'm extremely excited to see it in person

I think you will like its look.

Here is my beat one...it serves as a great, colorful looking filler for the E90-1 Speaker I will never own.


Brian

That looks exactly like the one I owned at one time

My 40th Cracker Jack Card
 

Just got this back from the eBay Authenticator on Friday…..yes…..it’s authentic.
1914 Ray Fisher Cracker Jack Card #102. Seems like this one came in a box with a little caramel stain . And Edmond , whoever he was , signed on the back above the line. All Cracker Jack prices are crazy these days, but the 1914’s are insane. Probably paid a little too much( esp with all the tax and fee heaped on) , but glad to have gotten it.
You especially don’t see as many Cracker Jack cards for sale here on the forum as one used to.

I believe I have had my Speaker for about 20 years. If you got rid of your beater somewhere in that time range, I might just have your former card. If I remember correctly, there was a seller on Ebay that was selling a bunch of similar, well-creased (a lot of vertical creases) E106 cards around that time...perhaps that was you? If so, cool for me, and congrats on getting a nice belated upgraded replacement.

Brian

Nah Brian it was about 2 years ago I sold mine. Just very similar condition

I picked this up from a fellow board member. If/when PSA ever slabs these, look out on value (see recent explosion of M101-2)

LOTG pickup arrived today.

@molenick that O’Hara is one beautiful card! I believe the Dockman & Sons is the smallest subset with just 40 cards.

And also by far the most common...without looking at the pop reports I have a feeling that the total existing cards in the other three E92 sets combined (Croft's Candy, Croft's Cocoa, Nadja) don't come close to the total of Dockman cards available.

Brian

Thank you. FWIW, I have 8 Dockman, 5 Nadja, and 1 Crofts Candy.

Good to know, thanks Brian.
