APRIL Pick Up Thread
 

Got this super clean Ruth ball in a deal last night!!!! So glad to add it to my collection.

Also, snagged this rare black sox (1 of 1 SGC/PSA pop charts) Cicotte recently

One of my better April 1st pickups. **Updated - CARD IS NOT REAL **

Damn chris!!!!! Awesome ruth ball!!

Most of my best pickups have come at the very start of April.

Brian

I met an old man that had a selection of these. I couldn't decide which one so I just picked up all of them. :D Too far?

PM sent...

Chris showed me the Cobb Proof the other day. It's hands-down the most significant Proof found to date. Just stunning, and hugely important.

Holy shit Chris!! Congrats. That’s an amazing pick up. Can’t wait to see your April
2nd pick up.

Chris' pick-up was real?! It was so amazing I thought he was kidding. Great card!

ARGG!! You got me Chris! :D

What a way to start the month Chris, congrats, amazing card.

1911 H998 Western Playground.

Member trade, thank you Val.

What I really appreciate about this community is the willingness to work with each other to build our collections, doesn't always happen but its nice to see when the right cards find the right homes.

I should wait til I get it in hand, but I'm excited about the card and the deal I got. It's nice to own a piece of history.

I'm also waiting on a PSA 9.5 1952 Mantle I recently picked up from another high end vendor off Facebook.

Great community, great people. It's nice to finally join the major players in the hobby.

Nice start to the month guys!

Chris, your Cobb proof is stunning!

Huge congrats!!!

Wow...great pickup!

Wow very fast start to the month. No Joke.

Looks like it might be a really strong month.

I already feel like I need to keep up with the Jones

Well it was a fun April fools day, definitely would be a dream card.

Already shown
 

Showed this a few weeks ago...Jerry

Nice, I couldn't figure out how to get a good picture of this. I put it on my computer screen so the light could shine through this amazing acetate Red Cobb that arrived today.

Amazing Cobb Chris !! My two new pickups

Very nice pick up Michael.

Great cards.

Congrats

Well been a long time since I could post an update to this in here

1924 Diaz Cigarettes Cleveland subset from 12/15 to 13/15

Down to 2...let's go Guy Morton and Pete Donohue (and maybe a non destroyed By Speece and Joe Shaute as well)

Congrats Jack, good luck on closing out the set.

Wow, that's not easy, congrats!

Steve

Thank you all

I know Morton is out there somewhere, he was graded with one of the early Diaz batches but was sold before the rest made it to Goodwin.

I've only seen one Donohue and it was rough. Was a picture on an old Cuban card site

Though interestingly enough, there's another Joe Shaute out there now, ran into the picture by accident. Someone seems to be compiling a virtual Diaz set website

By Speece,well the 1924 Senators are Val's baby so hopefully a 3rd's floating about somewhere

Nice- how is that Mick, only a 2???
Nice sharp corners..Really Nice!!

Nice corners, crease free, no print lines, no wax on back. It appears the card sat in an old time photo album with 4 corners protecting the card and it's corners. The result was a uniform light browning along the edges on the back. I’m thinking of sending it to PSA for review, wondering if it would be worth it.

What is the 2 spots/marks beside the power pole behind Mickey? That would be my guess for the 2.

Looks like a tiny stain of some sort, either that or the back could be the reason I’m assuming

I thought maybe small specks of paper loss. No matter what it is a beautiful card. Congrats on the pick up.

Thanks thought it had nice eye appeal for a 2!

That's a gorgeous 2, for sure.
Congrats on a awesome 51B pickup!

Thanks appreciate it

1927 Exhibit William Wambsganns. I just need Raymond Bressler to finish this set.

Wow Michael, that is a great looking card! Congrats

Thanks Ryan

Couldn't pass up this nice example of one of my favorite 1911 Zeenuts.

Patrick

Congrats Jeff, great pick up!! Right up your alley.

.

Thanks Phil, Ryan, Matthew.

This was a want of mine for a long time.

Some how I have actually stayed focused on my collection. Slow, steady, and Strategic on my Collection

I totally forgot at the Huggins&Scott auction ended.
Didnt get any notices, but found out just now i won.
Its weird and colored, so the price stayed low it seems.
Another one off the checklist, stilling looking to close the set out.

Fun trade with Jay for an interesting HOF mid-tier ...... :)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

On Vacation last week, took my son into a small Maui card shop. Almost all modern (to be expected), but then came across two t206 cards in a display case. Already surprised to find them, I was even more surprised to find one with an off-back. Ended up snagging this H. Davis Sovereign 150 for $4o. Even more neat, it's one of the cards I needed for my off-back t2o6 set-build.

Wow! Congrats, that's a steal!

I've been to Maui many times and didn't know there was a card shop there. Where is it?

Thanks Tony 👍. Maui Sports Cards on Hana Hwy. Right around the corner from the airport. Was supposed to be a "T2o6 free" vacation...but things happen. : )

Great pickup! Love those big head cards and can share some research into them, if you're interested.
