January 2018 Pickups
 

Happy New Year at all!

Just grabbed this Jimmy Archer P2 Pin (Small Letters) off of eBay.

I have not posted a pickup in a long time. Here is the start of my 2018!! An N172 Ralph Spud Johnson to complete my single pose Columbus set. I will post the whole thing in the coming days. Thanks to all the OJ collectors that have helped along the way and to the many phone calls and emails letting me know it was up for auction. As well as the seller that worked with me to make this happen.

Great cards Pete.

I decided that in 2018, I would branch out some from T206, but stay with items older than the great depression. So, my first 2018 pick ups are this E90-1 Speaker and this E101 Cy Young

Great cards guys!

Patrick - I love the P2 pin
Pete - That Boston Garter may be all you can afford, but it's an absolutely great card! Congrats!

Very nice recent pickup from ebay.

Glad to see you knock that one off the list! Congrats on completeing your Columbus subset.

Been awhile since I got t post in this thread...feels good.

I got my first card today of 2018 and the second time I have owned this exact example which was difficult to replace. I HAD to trade it for something else and it found its way back to me and showed up today. 1907 FP Burke Detroit PC, one of Cobb's earlier images and I love the emblem in the background. It comes in both black and blue and I far prefer the tough black variation. Also, its unused with just a simple corner crease as it returns in to my top 10 favorite cards.

I’m biased as a Tigers and Cobb fan, but that card is beyond awesome. I’m glad it found its way home!

A BIG THANK YOU to Adam G. for making this card available to me ..... :):):):)

It's one that has eluded me for a looooooong time !!! Happy to finally get it :D:D

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Thanks dude, me too...

I miss that E101 Young. It was in my collection over 10 years ago and I kick myself for parting with it back then. I'm glad someone ended up with it that appreciates it. Believe it or not, that was the very first vintage card I ever owned.

Back when I had it

My first prewar pickup in a while. From a fellow net54 member.

Starting off 2018 with a Cobby.

As of 2018, I'm in the red! Picked this up from a well respected board member via Ebay.

For some reason I can't see the card on your post, but very cool. Always fun when you see an old card turn up (usually on eBay, but not this one, it's staying with me)

Awesome card. Very nice centering.

nice 205 Cobby, very nice actually. Always great to get a Cobb, king of deadball hands down.

That York Ruth is gorgeous. Extremely well centered. Congrats. Good looking Cobb as well.

Some nice snapshots from 1933 of Lefty Gomez, Joe McCarthy and Red Ruffing.

I don't blame you. But, if you do change your mind down the road, let me know! :)

1907 cabinet photo of the Detroit Tigers, image used for a number of postcards. Love how you can see the details of Cobb's spikes!

Thanks Kevin!

Wow Jeff. That's awesome. I've never seen that before. Congrats.

Great piece Jeff, truly historic and a keeper. Good to see you stray from PCs...

Nice one Jeff!

Al’s clearly paying you too much!!

Ha, now that's funny!

Thanks guys!

:):):):):):) It absolutely amazes me how a little piece of paper can make me so HAPPY !!!!!

Beautiful Chance. Congrats.

Nice centering on that Chance. Very nice pickup.

A very happy (and slightly delayed) New Year to me! If I don't acquire another card all year, this will still be my best year ever. Many thanks to two great Board members for two great trades.

Picked up this Sweet Caporal overprint. It was the last card I needed to complete my Wheat back run.

Nice Kenny. Congrats. Would love to see the whole back run. How about posting it?

Paul, awesome Joe Jax.

Thanks I would like to see it too. May need to find someone to help me create one . I just have the individual cards now . May try and upgrade a few . I also have the t213 Wheat run but it's only 4 cards . Here are some of them.

Upgrades to my Series 3 OB set are always much appreciated! Thank you David.

Love those Ben! Congrats!

Awesome Wheat run -- lots of solid backs in that sucker. And Great looking Cobb Ben, was that the one that was on ebay (I had been watching that).

I just picked up the Jackson today -- thank you Ken! - and the Wagner a few days ago.

Very nice Ben...too bad they're just postcards :D!

Welcome to the addiction, I mean club...

I traded this away and just got it back today. Far from rare, but I still dig it.
