October Pickups
 

I guess I'll start it again this month. Surprised to have USPS deliver this on a Sunday. Thanks Richard for a smooth transaction.

Sorry, off topic, but is it the norm for you guys state side to receive mail on the week-ends? I have read that before on here about deliveries/mail service on Saturdays and always wonder if that was normal?
Our mail service, at least here in Southern Ontario is only Monday to Friday.

Nice card, BTW.

Saturday is normal, Sunday is not.

Same thing happened to me last week. I'm guessing if the system is flooded with packages scheduled for a Monday delivery at your local Post Office, they just throw them on the truck with Priority Mail Express packages that are delivered on Sunday.

It used to be that Sunday deliveries around here for Amazon were handled by the USPS, but now Amazon uses their own employees for deliveries.

Crisp image Leon, nice pickup!

Larry, that's a beautiful Croft's Candy card.

Am I the only one that doesn't see the Crofts card?

Go to this thread:

And go to the 14th post to see an explanation that might help.

Thanks to Jeff R.

Upgraded a fairly scarce Waddell Uniform W600

Just got around to scanning this beater I picked up last month from a fellow board member.

Quick delivery from Scott
 

Toronto type

Great pickup Scott. I was hoping that you got that one. That is a really tough one. Went cheap IMHO.

Love the BW's, very nice card.

I get that it's got some creases and corner damage, but that's a card that is above the moniker "beater." Nice pickup!

Picked up this Cycle Wheat T206. Its a very tough back for Wheat.

Pardon the non-Baseball nature of the cards but I've been on a bit of a hockey kick lately (I still think the Hockey Sweet Cap PC's are perhaps the most beautiful cards ever made!)...

Sweet cards! You're part Canadian now!

Schmidt T205
 

Received this nice Charles Schmidt T205 in the mail from the recent Brockelman Auction.

Thanks Scott!

Thanks to a board member I was finally able to get a Ju-Ju Drums for my Brooklyn type collection.

Great pickups Justin and Paul. Not only do you know fantasy,but you have a great eye for cards too!

I was watching that one and forgot about it. Congrats on the pick up Leon.

Beautiful card!

C. 1930's Photograph (Postcard Size) of the Babe golfing. Thanks Jeff!

Clearly, as everyone knows, the man was morbidly obese.

And all dressed just like the duffers you will see at your local muni this Sunday morning.

Thank you Scott at Brockelman Auctions for the heads up on a few cards in the last auction on my want list. Here is my favorite of the bunch.

I thought the same thing!! Clearly John Goodman was a good choice playing him in the movie!:rolleyes:

This one was on my wish-list for a while, but with a Psa and sgc combined population of 4, I didn't think I would see it for a long while. Thrilled to own it.

Classic
 

Nice one Orlando!

Nice one Orlando!!

Here is a scarcely seen hand colored rppc...postcard

Leon- That is an exquisite postcard! Did a little on-line sleuthing to see what I could learn. Was able to access the 1907 Holy Cross yearbook which had some photos and info about the 1905 team.

The Yale game marked the grand opening of Fitton Field.

Seems Yale won the game 5-4.

In 1905 Holy Cross had a catcher that went by the name of Carrigan. Making the bold assumption that the home team was in white and thus in the field, that would be him behind home plate.

Congrats Orlando, huge card.

Why I love Net54
 

It's been awhile since I broke out the scanner, so these pickups go back a couple months, but they all have one thing in common: they were all procured from folks I've met on the board. Which means: no buyer's premium, no crazy shipping rates, no late nights, and no three week delays in shipment. Just great transactions among great dudes. Thanks to Leon, Orlando, Chris, Don, and Wondo.

Sam, you just posted N54 porn. congrats man. Great eye!!!

Nice scanner!!!

Cutlery Cobb/Wagner and 14 CJ Cobb are jist amazing cards. Congratulations guys on your pick ups. Some great cards already and REA is doesn't end until the 29th.

Amazing cards as always Sam.

Where did you find that? It is a pretty one, nice add to the stash.

Holy crap Sam, awesome! I'd love to see the back of the Cobb Bat on 4, because that front looks much better than a 4. And I am mucho jealous of the CJ Cobb- let's trade, let's trade!! Anyway, that is an amazing post. Congrats, great stuff, truly

This one found me. Its previous owner was kind enough to give me first crack at it.
