November 2022 Pick Up Thread
 

I don't think I've ever started a pickup thread.

Special thanks to Net54 member rand1com for this beauty:

Wow. That is a beautiful card and a worth start to a new card thread

Congrats

Nice pickup to start the month/thread, congrats.

I picked this up off BST. Thanks Jeff!

Some short prints and a tougher T205

One of my best pickups…very excited to own a BL HOFer

Wow! Congrats Josh on that Broadleaf! It's awesome!

mail day
 

I'm not sure if these are entirely appropriate for this thread, but I think these Goudey's are beautiful.

Prewar, so appropriate in my book, but I also hear that Sassacus played a mean third base for the Cleveland Guardians.

The problem with having very little focus, is having very little focus :)

Two recent member pick-ups for my back runs.

Chad

I beg to differ...that Lombardi item has a sharp image and excellent focus.

Brian

Nice pick ups so far,

I added a few Gehrig’s. They are all dupes, but you can’t go wrong adding them

Fast Start and Great Start Ryan

Congrats

'48 Bowman Berra
 

Excited to pickup this beautiful Yogi Berra, from member BuzzD.

that is a classic shot of the Schnozz! Great pickup. I have the w-711 with that pose.

Some serious pickups already this month. Congrats all. I just picked these two up for my T3 set (about 4-5 shy of complete now). And off eBay no less

PS- the Baker is not Baker, it’s Jack Barry. Unfortunate, but a necessary part of the set.

Super sharp corners on that T207...looks nicer than a 5!

And great BL pickup, that's awesome!

Great start to the month

Love these. I’ve been casually picking them up here and there myself.

Great looking card.

T206 Fred Abbott
 

Honored to be the newest caretaker of this Fred Abbott T206. I have been waiting for the right example for a long time.

Thanks Scott!

E254 Syd Smith (Atlanta)
 

Also picked up this E254 Syd Smith (Atlanta) in the recent REA Auction.

So far this month, have some nice ones arriving tomorrow as well. Plus two big auctions this month.

More Honus

Fantastic cards Chad, hands at chest is one of my favourite poses.:cool:

Thanks Chris!

Nice Honus Jay!

Pickups at the Shriner's Show
 

Thanks to Ed Hans for the following!

E254 Walter Woods Colgan's Chip, Chief Meyers PX7 Domino Disc, and Johnny Kling S74 silk.

Patrick

My first Turkey Red Base Ball player.

Quality control, if there was such a thing in those days, really blew that one, and I bet 'Old Home Run' was pissed, although in fairness Jack was part of Connie Mack's 'Million Dollar Infield'.

Cool looking Mantle arrived
 

Thought this was cool- had to snag it

Picked this up recently, been looking for it for a while. Happy to add it to the collection

Nice T3...in my eyes their big borders can have all sorts of damage and they can still look fantastic.

1887 N690 Kalamazoo Bats Charlie Ferguson
 

Very pleased to snag this Kalamazoo Bats Charlie Ferguson.
Here's a nice little write up by SABR on Charlie Ferguson and a career cut short.

Excited to add this to my HOF Portrait run w/ the back stamp! A rare Ebay purchase for me.

Bill

Hoff
 

Thank you to seablaster for this T207 Hoff anonymous back

T-207
 

Hoff is super tough! Congrats. My favorite T-207…I’ve got a nice Red Cycle or Broadleaf somewhere.

1910 T212 Obak Bob Brown (Vancouver)
 

It's been at least 4 years of searching for a nice example and wow what a specimen. Once I receive this card in the mail it's off to SGC. I'm extremely happy to add this card to my collection.

Great looking Obak, congrats on the pick up.

Thanks, Phil! Recently I've been wanting to get some T206 cards. But I fear getting into them due to the cost. Obak's are much easier on the wallet plus I think they look nicer even though they're minor league cards.

Seeing as how you're in Vancouver (I'm in Victoria) I thought you might like to see my Van and Vic Obak subsets.

1915 Victoria Bees

Nice cards, David! I hope to pick up some more Vancouver Obak's in the near future, and possibly make a run for the subset! Thanks for posting!

1913 T200 Fatima Philadelphia Americans (A's) SGC 4
 

Excited to snag this beautiful copy of the 1913 World Champion Philadelphia A's. The "$100,000 infield" was dubbed by historian Bill James, the best infield of all time and included HOF'ers Eddie Collins, Frank "Home Run" Baker and Jack Barry. Also, pictured are HOF pitchers Chief Bender and Eddie Plank. Coached by HOF manager Connie Mack.

Back stamps are WAY cool!

Well. You can be justifiably proud of your Charlie Ferguson. What a tragedy. Beautiful card.

Picked up this beautiful E98 Nap Lajoie blue background for my near set from fellow board member and good friend Phil after he upgraded his example for his master set.
Thank you so much Phil!!!

1888 N28 Allen & Ginter John M Ward
 

Nice addition to my N28 set.

My pleasure Andy, for those that might not be aware Andy is an inspirational collector of the old school variety, if you've never visited his T296 backstamp website it's something to behold.

And I 100% blame Andy for starting me on the E98 Master rabbit hole.

:D You're welcome Phil. I know I enjoyed your travels down that rabbit hole.

Was able to pick this up on eBay. Hard to come by and this was in great condition!
