June 2009 Pickup Thread
Very happy to have these two, both with help from people here that called them to my attention or I'd never have seen them:
I am wildly happy to have this one. I also wildly overpaid, but was in "have to have it" mode. I think it is from 1890 based on image and uniform similarity to the 1890 Franklin Young Ladies Base Ball Club cab. This thing is in great shape. The gloss is almost perfect and the image is one of the clearest I have. Really cool ring bats and a few compelling faces, plus maybe the youngest girl I've ever seen on one of these photos or PC's - check out the girl top row third from right - leaning on urn. Gah. She looks maybe 12-13? Tony Andrea pointed me in the direction of this one: [IMG]<a href="http://s675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/jmk59/?action=view¤t=1890CabCardWomen0509875.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/jmk59/1890CabCardWomen0509875.jpg" border="0" alt="1890 Cab"></a>[/IMG] A really cool Alta Weiss I'd not seen before. I really like the photos and PC's with identified and famous (in that time) female players. Assist to Mark Perez for taking the time to point this one out: [IMG]<a href="http://s675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/jmk59/?action=view¤t=AltaWeissPC050958.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/jmk59/AltaWeissPC050958.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG] |

Joann,
That cabinet is very cool! JimB |
Summer school tuition and books have floored me for June. My only pickup will probably be this fantasy card which I created. Unfortunately it only exists in my computer! Hope everyone else has a better month than me!!
Best, Shawn <img src=http://photos.imageevent.com/skybarranch/fantasycards/Chasefacedone.jpg> |
|
Shawn, great card! My favorite player in my favorite Topps set (55)!
|
Very nicely done Shawn. Bob Lemke can tell you exactly how to turn that into a physical card...he made me a similar fantasy card of Charley Peete that looks and feels like the real deal.

my pick up...

Cool Cards, Guys !
Jason - Love that Confectioner reverse...
Shawn - A tip of the cap to you as well... 55 is one of my all-time favorite sets and you should make that into a nice reprint... :) |
Thanks guys...that is the first "card" I have ever made. '55 is my favorite postwar set and mine is half complete. Gotta love Hal. Jeff, that is your autograph, hope you don't mind that I "borrowed" it. :)
|
Thanks, Jeremy. I'm not quite sure what it is about the card, but it is easily the favorite of my recent pickups.
Great OJ, cozmokramer. |
Shawn, no problem, it looks great.

Fantastic! Congrats! |
Nice work, Shawn!
It's great to have another devotee of custom card creations sharing his efforts. My new motto: If you can't find the card you want -- make it!

Jason C: Nice Everett Scott!
Wolfdogg: Heck of a nice Ruth rookie. You said you have been waiting for the Ruth since you were 11. Can you give us a perspective of how long that is because I am still waiting myself... Just picked this up. |
Quinn...
I thought this was a decent deal for $10... read the bio too. Kinda cool.

Just woke up to find out I was fortunate enough to win this 1906 Providence W601 in the Clean Sweep Auction last night.

I'm pretty slow! I got a little advice from Matt, fingers crossed for pics this time! |

Sorry, boxing, but I've always wanted this Dana photo. Picked it up in last night's Gaynor/Dent auction:
Attachment 1244 A classic pre-match line up. But the stark difference between the tough and ripped Kaufmann and the bald Sullivan in his bagging shorts makes me :). BTW: Sullivan was a middleweight (won 72 (KO 22) + lost 36 (KO 7) + drawn 42). Kaufman was a heavyweight (won 25 (KO 16) + lost 8 (KO 5) + drawn 1). In this fight Kaufmann outweighed Sullivan by 30 pounds and won by decission. Kaufmann was one of the "Great White Hopes," but never panned out. Attachment 1246 |
Wow Dean. That Young is such a nice, nice card. Not just a nice Young or a nice T206 or a nice 40. It's a really great-looking card overall. I wish all my cards looked that good - especially all the 40's!
Great pickup. J |

I'm very excited about this one. This knocks a very difficult card off of my Jersey City Wantlist.
|
Thanks Joann, I appreciate the kind words. I'm pretty excited to get it. I have been waiting for a nice Young Portrait for a while so I can't wait. :)
