August pickups
 

I find it surprising that nobody started a new pickup thread yet. After all, there is a somewhat significant show being held this weekend.

Let's see some new acquisitions, fellas.

Best regards and happy collecting,

Eric

Thanks to Jeff for the t206's =)

Nice EPDG run you have going there. I was going to offer to help you out but I only have a Burchell as my sole EPDG but you already have it anyway.

And another member posted the 52 Pierce and the card looked amazing so thought I'd add one to my collection seeing as I'm a Sox fan.

Jeff and Josh....
 

great pick ups!!!

jeff, have you come across any "F" stamped epdgs???? I have been tracking the f scott fitz's....a lot on epdg:)

T206 EPDG Abbott
 

I didn't see this one in your spread, but if I just missed it sorry.

Any interest in a trade?

I Need:
AB 460 back
Cycle 350 back
AB 350 no frame back
Sovereign 150 back

Some guy I never heard of but pretty sure he didn't play for the Reds.

Posted in the t206 thread, but I'll post here for the non t206 collectors.

Nice card. I may not be a big t206 collector but I know that's a tough one.

Saw that on eBay nice pick up !!!

Came home last night to find a little cocoa waiting for me. Thanks to a board member.

Great eye appeal, great card. Must be thrilled, congrats.

Yes I am. I went to sell some stuff and found that at a great price with cash in pocket.

Really want to thank Sean1125 for thinking of me when this card came across his radar. It graded out at the show the other day. I've owned higher technical grades of this card, but this one is far and away my favorite and the keeper of all of them, due to its registration/focus. I love the colors and image on the '41 PlayBall Joe D, and how it represents his hallowed accomplishment that year. But it always seems the damn thing has ghostly halo effects around the top border line, his shoulder, his bat, and especially round the face-- rendering it so blurry. Thanks, Sean. Finally a '41 PB Joe D that I can look at without feeling like I've had a few too many cocktails-- cheers!

Awesome Joltin Joe! As you mentioned, a tough card to find centered and with the registration.

Chippin' away at my '38 Goudey Heads Up set

That Burgess card is pretty awesome. I don't look much at post war cards, but this has me pondering it.

Steve I didn't buy that one the seller had it in the scan with the Pierce. I was thinking about it though nice colors and cool looking card.

I'm sure it's still listed BIN $19.99

Arrived in today's mail.

I'm dizzy looking at that card, Brian.

tougher front back combos
 

No National for me but did pick these two up from Kevin Mize on the BST. Thanks Kevin.

Thank you, Mike.

Someday I WILL get a scanner, but thanks to fellow board member Glynn Parsons for making it possible for me to acquire a 1913-1915 Pinkerton Christy Mathewson at the National. One of just two graded by PSA, and none graded by SGC. Thanks also to Leon for his expert advice as to the likely number in existence (you guys know I like 'em RARE) and avoiding the one graded "authentic" (poor eye appeal that even the scorecard back couldn't make up for in my eyes) in favor of Glynn's much better card!

Plus, purchased a very nice, well-centered 1934 Gold Medal Flour Dizzy Dean (a set issued to commemerate the '34 World Series) in PSA 3. To me, it represents the NL's last 30 game winner in his best season (Dean was 30-7 that year, with a 2.66 ERA, and led the league in strikeouts when there weren't that many of them with, I believe, 195, in a year when the league's ERA was 4.06). Fabulous pitcher before hurting first his toe and then his shoulder when he tried to come back too soon.

Best wishes,

Larry

Only picked up a few things at National, these being the most interesting. :)

Side note, I really need to work on scanning rather than taking bad phone photos of cards...

Cheers,
Steve

And everyone told Johnny there was no real scrap at the National. Awesome cards!

ED.....
 

I did know of these, they came with a friend:)......

they ARE AWESOME! didn't think they would go, but went to a great home:)

they are very special.......these may have been concurrently printed with bl 460, beside being "no prints" and scrap, and MISSING INK:eek:

the beautiful sc 460 f #30 no overprint yellow browns......they are a special breed 'o scrap


MAJOR HAUL STEVE O

Johnny is especially happy because he knows where they ended up!

I have been
 

tracking every sc 460 y/b with Chris....they are like "lost puppies".....come to papa scrap:D

My first Cycle 350 and the Kaiser.

nice pickups Bryan!

.

Thanks Luke!

So much for my snipe.

Oops. I am truly sorry :o.

It's alright. It's not as though I'm going to run out of cards to spend my money on.

More from Jeff don't get the 2 on this Quillen at all :eek:

He's always been on my list as he played with the hitless wonders though he didn't play in the series and didn't last long.

Thanks, guys!

Mark,

Awesome RPPC of Day!!! I'm envious, to say the least. That is a great card. Best,

Kenny

Great pick-up on the Day postcard, Mark. Never seen that one before.

Gehrig and Gandil

My collecting funds are limited so anytime I am able to add a pre-war HOFer it is cause for a celebration.

I should have included these three dudes in my previous post too.

More nice ones Bryan!

It's been a great week for me. Added a bunch of nice cards for my 150-350 run with some tough backs sprinkled in, including a Jennings portrait with full names on top and bottom. Also added my new favorite card!

Cool ghost, Luke. Is that Leach?

Very nice ghost Luke. Wow.

Wow Luke, that is awesome. Congrats!
