Allow me the privilege of starting the monthly pickup thread.

I hope to add a killer or three tomorrow. Good luck to all of you in the big auction today.

David:

I really like the Minoso card, never seen that one before.

Tough, tough, tough
 

Glad to get this as an upgrade. Having collected the M116 Sporting Life set card by card, I can say that this is arguably the toughest card in the set.

Thanks to Baggers for these great cards!

nothing major, just liked it:D

Nice pickup on the Goostree. Beautiful card. I was the underbidder.

Woohoo!
 

Got this from the Clean Sweet Auctions store.

I just received these among other Cubans today. I finally added some Cabanas' to the collection.

Finally checked this toughie of my list after several years of looking... Thanks to a board member !

Also, scored this superb condition unused PC on Ebay, come to find out the seller lives 5 miles from my home, and owns a local antique shop. (Of course I saved on shipping and picked the item up next day!)

P.S. David - Nice Goose !!

One tough one down!

thanks chris, i like that blackburne:D

a couple of exhibits...

36 Exhibits
 

and a 1936 Exhibits for me -

Nice exhibits guys

I really wanted this in a 3 or a 4, but the price didn't seem too bad on this one. It's probably the nicest card in my 1933 Goudey set, however.

Let me follow that Nap with something much less impressive but something I have been looking for, so others have time to put their tongues back in their mouths...helluva card Jim!

Bill

That's fantastic. And it matches your avatar nicely. :)

Awesome Lajoie. That is an amazing card and congratulations.

Diamond Stars Hubbell
 

Big Time Pickup, Jimbo!

(Rob D., your Joss kudos are in JP's BST Demmitt thread).

damn Jim, nice!

Jim wow simply wow!

Wowzers!
 

Jim! That card is...uhh...hmmm...INSANE!!! A most stellar pick-up indeed!
Here's what I got today. Thanks to Ron for the Jennings and thanks again to Larry for the Beaumont and Donlin!:)

Mr. Mailman was nice to me yesterday with this one...

I'm sure you all are tired of hearing/seeing this card but for me it's one more mark on the checklist that's been in my pocket since I was a kid.

Cheers,

John

I, for one, love the Plankenstein!

Jim - Very nice addition with the Lajoie, congrats!

John - I don't think anyone will complain about viewing your Plank.

RC

John, I do love that card and have been looking for one like that for a long time. I'll give you 26K for it right now, no questions asked.

Tired?
 

I never get tired of looking at LaJoie and Plank. Thanks for sharing.

Rick

28k! Slap that baby on Ebay!

That's it you guys are jerks that's why I'm leaving this hobby because of jagoffs like you guys...all of my collection now in the BST. :)

I thought my daughter Abby was going to end up in the April pickup thread. She came six days late, so she ends up in the May one instead. Born at a little after noon today...only a 40 minute delivery. Easily my best pickup in a long time...

JP

Congratulations!

Jantz

Congrats JP!!!

Sincerely,Clayton

Congratulations JP!

Thanks fellas...thank God she looks like her mom! Now it is on to sleepless nights...

Yes JP,it's time to explore the coffee world !!! Wish you the best :D

Clayton

Wow. That Lajoie and Plank are incredible. Congrats Jim and John, the rest of us can only drool :p

That Ruth will be a nice filler until you're able to upgrade, Jeff.

wow...that d304 chase is nice...but a vg? I never realized the magnitude of PSA's generosity until recently...sheesh!

It's funny that you say that -- it's my alltime favorite card now. And it's for sale.

Wait, did I do that in the right order?

Pete, I agree completely. Bizarre grade and it gets even more bizarre when you consider this:

Congratulations JP!
