April Pick Up Thread
 

Picked up this woodcut in an auction a while back and forgot to post it. Atlantic Baseball Club.
Attachment 391857

I am hoping this is a busy month of pick-ups for me. I ended March with these, but they arrive tmrw, so we’ll call them April pick-ups

Probably my last big pickup of the year, but very happy to add a big one to the collection:

You’re Funny Luke, Haha, that will probably fool a lot of folks, but maybe not around here

Hope all is well!!

Wowsers, Ryan & Luke! Your acts will be tough to follow for the rest of this month, assuming your pickups aren't April Fool's jokes! :D CONGRATS!

been a busy month!!! Home buying cards while working from home!!

Luke is much more clever than I - mine are real.

Mine isn't completely unreal. I actually own the card. It's just that it was made from two halves of different cards. I think based on the WST on the back it's possible the back once belonged to a William O'Neil Broad Leaf 350. I've been meaning to have Erick S. look at it and help me confirm.

E102 Smith (Schmidt)
 

Picked up my 2nd E102 that arrived today, Boss Schmidt, Detroit.

I find it interesting that the name is spelled incorrectly on the front but correctly on the reverse. Only need one more catcher now in this set since there are only three!

Nice Wagner's Ryan! And nice 4/1 combo Luke :)!

Not really a new card but I take forever to scan my stuff...

Sweet Chris. Is that the earliest appearance of Musial on a card?

Picked up another E98 HOFer recently. Very happy to have another. Funny that all my E98s are either green or red. I didn't try to do that, but just haven't picked up any blue or orange yet. Are those two more difficult background colors for this set?

Of course, it's my typical low grade example. :rolleyes:

Thanks...

E98
 

Andy I put together an E98 set a few years ago and looking at my checklist I had 8 orange and 6 blue...just depends...Jerry

Evers Red
 

Great card , Andy!

You can never have enough PreWar HOFers !

Super psyched to get this rarity.

Killer!

Now, thats a nice card! I didn't see that one come up in auction?

Ryan, Awesome Card!

First postcard I've purchased. The stamp on the back got my attention. Couldn't pass on the 35 Goudey 4 In 1 with Bill Terry. I've always admired the 54 Red Heart Duke Snider.

Thanks guys. Jay, it was a private sale, no auction.

Ryan, your're starting off April with a bang. Can't wait to see what you post in the REA pick up thread. Congrats!

1915 CJ Fisher
 

Difficult to believe that this card is 105 years old. It wasn't stored in East Texas, that's for sure. Luckily around 1950, they invented A/C...

Two more M131 Baltimore Newsboys (thanks Ron). I may have to go for the set.....

Mighty nice, Ryan!!

Recent Pick ups going on display.

Nice Ryan! If you ever get tired of staring at that sweet Evers let me know!

Andy

Great Mathews pick up.

Thanks Ben, I love this Mathews card

Sweet Home Alabama...

Nice Coupons!
 

Nice coupons RC!

Congrats Chris!!! Such an amazing card of "the Man"! I know you got it raw a while back, but it's nice to see it in that new SGC holder. Looks outstanding!

Thanks, Patrick

Here is the only other card of Schmidt from the 3 T213 series. The T213-1 has the "D" on the shirt like T206. I did not realize that the T213-2 Schmidt Mobile did not have a "D" on the shirt until I picked it up after being on my want-list for many years. I only need a dozen or so to complete T213-2, with many tough cards to go.

I bought this T213-1 from Jeff Fritsch about 20 years ago. I remember him telling me that he wanted to save some Coupons for other collectors and wanted me to assure him that I was not a dealer, and the cards were not for re-sale. I don't think I've seen another T213-1 Schmidt since then.

Really happy to add this Ramly Walter Johnson to my collection. Has been high on my want list for a long time...

Beautiful Johnson Andrew!.....That just sounded weird, sorry about that. :o

Great pick up though, seriously.

Haha, thanks Andy!

Rube, Brooklyn Portrait
 

I picked up this little cutie pie to add to my T213-2 set. It is pretty rough, and the back makes me wonder if it has been soaked, not that it matters to me. I'm just happy that I was able to get it.

Great Wajo!

Nice cards. A set will take a while to complete most likely.

and to the other members cards shown, great cards. The T204 Wajo is awesome.

Thanks Val (hope you are healthy) and Leon.

ANDREW!!!! That Wajo is beast! Awesome pick up, congrats.

My 2 for April

Thanks Jeff, Leon and Ryan!

How many Millers do you have now?
 

Congrats Whaler!

How many Obaks of your relative do you have now!

I feel better about owning 4 John Tiedeman 1911 Obaks when I see your hoard!

Gorgeous Ramly Big Train pictured above; that is such a distinctive and classic card.
