March Pick Ups
 

I got to meet Chloe Kim at an event a few nights ago. What an awesome athlete and great performance in the Olympics.

Disappointing that her hair is normal color. You never know what color it will be when she is in competition.

she looks bigger than you jon!

Picked this up on the BST from Tony. Received it today. Ralph Branca signed baseball to Al Barlick.

Yay, me!! A Grail off the list. Bound to be my biggest and best purchase of 2018.

PS, Thanks, David for helping me pull the trigger!

Holy smokes, Ken....

Nice!!!!

Wow...nice check.

Cool check Ken

Very nice, Ken!

Thanks, guys! Probably should also give a shout-out to a VERY special wife who gave her approval!

That check makes me want to collect signed checks. It's wonderful.

some recent pickups. per usual i make it up in quantity vs quality. thx to tom c for the greenberg, dipping my toes into vintage but gotta keep my modern roots with a couple jeters.

Picked this one up reasonably cheap (around 40 bucks). Always wanted a chipper auto, displays nicely!!

Thats a wonderful check!!! I know I love mine!!!

This one had my name on it so I couldn't pass it up.

My pleasure, Ken!

Great Ruth check! I have one and it's one of my favorite pieces as well.

Just arrived.......looking for a Mantle PSA/DNA Topps card if anyone has one for sale. Thanks-Scott

Not exactly a new pickup, but I moved into a new house a few months ago, so I have decided to freshen up a few of my items with new matted/frames... here is one of my first.

Great looking piece Dave!

My first 1958 Hires signed card and a 1931 Blue Ribbon Malt Ted Lyons. Donald Trump signed card from about 10 years ago

Just got this one back from the framer...

Packs, careful on that Williams. It looks a lot in shape to his facsimile signature that was used around that time. I have two examples from the early 1950's that are facsimiles that I can post later today to see if it's a match, but I think it is (hard to tell for certain because it's on the lighter side, but my gut says it is).

In what sense? That the signature is included in the image or that the signature is not that of Williams?

That it's printed onto the image (or stamped), manufactured facsimile signature. I'll post the ones I have later and you can compare, it's probably easiest since you can see your in hand, I'll try to get good scans of mine.

edit: Found an old photo I had saved of a couple, hope this helps. The postcard is a JD McCarthy from the sames series as your I believe. Note that the tail end of the signature looks cut off on the one you have.

Does that one have a postmark too? I wonder if it's contemporary to 1951. The postcard I bought only cost me $45 so I'm not too worried. I don't actually have it in hand though so I won't know for another week when I go up to get it.

Yes, the JD McCarthy postcard I have that I posted above is also postmarked similar to yours, it's September 15, 1951.

Interesting. I'll have to see but you're probably right. So strange they would fade the signature too. I thought that was a tell that it was signed.
