March Pickups...
1 Attachment(s)
I don't usually post in the pickup threads, but I want to start March with a thank you to Bryan (Jobu) for pointing out this one that arrived today and has been on my want list for a long time. I likely overpaid, but with these only coming up in what seems like 18 month gaps and missing the last few...I could care less. :D

Happy with this one. I missed out on a low grade one that the Detroit Pawn guys sold on eBay last year. This one fits my collection to a "T" and is proof another will come along eventually!

I sent out a message on bst for a nicely centered e90-1 Cobb with good color and image. I thought I would get no response because these cards are so tough to find centered. Not only did a member respond with the perfect card, but it is the very card I had been angry that I missed on REA. Thank god for n54.

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As they say --- March comes in like a LION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great, Scott :rolleyes: |
Great looking Cobb's Ben and Orlando! Congrats!

Some new mid-tier backs. All but one are from board members, including another epic trade with Scott. I wish more people on here wanted to trade. Thanks guys!

New Highlanders and some Yankees...

I am a wood artist and recently I decided to sell some of my old vintage tools. I got the money and bought some cards for my Highlander/Yankee team type collection. Last two days I have looking out the window waiting for my Postman. I'm very happy today.....

I am starting to warm up to these pre-war type cards...

Got these three Old Mill cards from another member of the board (thanks Ben!) and I absolutely LOVE them!
I think I am starting to get hooked on these little tiny cards. I am up to three of these, two T206, three M116, and one Old Judge. |
Got these two in for my team set:

I am sitting here, doing homework, and my Steinbach is on the table right in front of me! I think he is my favorite. That is, until Ben talks me into buying more of them! Lol. |

I didn't acquire the entire Cleveland commons subset in February/March, but I did receive the last one I needed (Terry Turner) in March. I also knocked off 2 more T206 HoFers that I got for steals of deals, and the eBay seller was so nice I wanted to throw him a bone and buy 2 more of his auctions. Got the '62 Cassady (Go Browns; I know, I know, y'all are sorry for me) and a nice Boggs RC for my HoF PC. Hopefully my next March pickup is the house we're waiting to close on...

I was surprised to be the initial bidder the day the auction opened, and win it with the one bid. I know the ink on the back should have resulted in a MK designation, but still, a really nice O'Hara, as far as I can see.

No one seemed to notice my O'Hara earlier, so I will see if this gets a response. Six down, 33 to go, what do I mean by this statement? (for the advanced T210 collectors) :D

Once again, a prayer is answered on the BST. In this case, two prayers. The 1908 Brush Ty Cobb (mislabeled 1910) and the Max Stein. Each of these cards have a known graded population of 5. The Brush is best known specimen. The Max Stein would be graded higher were it not for two small holes on top from a removed staple. Needless to say, I am thrilled.

Nice cobbs...Really nice Cobbs
|
Looks like Mr. Ty Cobb is getting a lot of love in March! Many great pickups so far ranging from Old Judges to Postcards. Congrats to all including Orlando for having his Prayer answered.

I am having enough trouble finding beaters in my price range in the T210's that I have not attempted any of the T211 cards.:) |

Guys,
You both are really good guys on here. I don't think Ben was aiming at you, Orly, or your beautiful Cobbs. It was just a response to me. I think we have enough strife on other threads, and I was not trying to make any kind of statement one way or the other. I really was just curious if anyone read anything I write, because I rarely get any kind of response. Both of you are top notch guys that appreciate the cards, price be darned. I value the contributions of both you guys. Sorry if my comment got things off track here, and I hope we can all be friendly with our discourses. Let's all have a fun day, I hope? Ed |

3 new T206 Evers, Chicago Shirt, to add to my back run effort, which already includes a Red Hindu and Broad Leaf 350 (sorry for teh busted pic). Please email or text me if you have any Evers or Tinker (bat offs) for sale or trade.
|
Nice Evers' Ryan!
And that O'Hara is awesome Ed! |

Seems like you are starting with the tough ones and working backwards! Great subject for a back run. I only have the Piedmont, but I bought it from Dr. Frank, so I like it a lot. |

When I post here I like to post my best as well, but tend not to get much response. Here is a recent pick-up...do you think it is more valuable because it measures tall and has a wide white gap in the middle?

I picked this up in Feb., but just getting around to posting it now. Not sure what happened to it - some type of art deco creation. It looks like someone painted a blue rectangle around the back of Moses, then used white paint to outline him. Finally, they used a red pen to make Xs all around his silhouette. Also, they glued his name on a piece of paper that is partially covered. In hand, it's actually pretty cool to look at! Any info on what/why this is what it is would be appreciated!
