April New Pick Ups Thread!
 

A game card. These can be had relatively inexpensively which is always a plus. And I wanted to fill a hole in the types...

"These are the saddest of possible words ........ I need Evers, Blue Sky." ...... :p

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Hi Leon,

These cards are really nice. When I had a previous type card collection of pre war, I wanted Honus Wagner and Cy Young that was relatively affordable and I was able to knock them off by these game type cards. They have cool photos too!

Wow, where did you find a blue Lajoie? That's a tough one.

Heritage...

1915 F. Vanderherchen’s Sons, 1914 Athletics Champions trade card
 

They say that if you see something that you’ve never seen before, buy it…so I did. I paid up for it too but I’ve never seen this trade card before and I can’t find another example online anywhere.

Old Put
 

Nice blue Old Put Sam...Jerry

When I got home from the Chantilly Show on Saturday, this card was in my mailbox. Thanks again, Leon, for the trade.

Great pick up

Congrats that is a SWEET Grail

Congrats

Great Babe Bows out photo, that's my old copy, miss it.

so excited about this one coming in - the original art / drawings / paste-ups for the 1974 Laughlin Old Time Black Stars set. as a passionate NLB card collector, its hard to think of something much better for the price point.

First non-Black Sox card in quite sometime, but thrilled to have it

D303 Cobb
 

That General Baking Cobb batting is great regardless of condition...Jerry

one from chantilly on sunday (waddell) + one from a trade + purchase today (joss)!

grabbed a fair bit of some e90s and w515s as well!

Thanks Jerry! Tough card so I’m happy with it!

For a collection as specific as yours that must have made your eyes light up when you saw it. Congrats.

Big thanks to Sonny T!

Great looking cards so far, this month!

A 1923 Fleer back....Thanks Val!

A big thank you to Ben Fisher for doubling my E107 collection. This is also my fourth different card of George Van Haltren, after my N172, Newsboy Cabinet, and W600 Sporting Life Cabinet. I think I'll be starting a campaign to get this deserving and overlooked player elected to the Hall of Fame.

Thank you to Mac (obcmac) for the deal on the 1915 CJ Matty! It's an absolute beauty and super pleased to have this in my collection!

Beautiful Blue E98s!!!!
 

Andy and Sam,
Thanks for posting your beautiful Blue E98s!!!
Andy, love your very clean Lajoie!
Sam, love how the blue pops on your Old Put!!!!

Tim

There's still an occasional good find on ebay.

It's not a good Cobb. Maybe the worst Cobb. But he's my Cobb, and I love him.

As for the other two: Roush is Neilson's Chocolate type 1, and Hooper is a W573.

Got these in a trade

I managed to source a handful of early pre-war here in the UK.

• T209-1 Contentnea
• E97 C.A. Briggs
• a couple of E91 American Caramel
• T20 Old Mills

I'm a novice when it comes to some of these sets but trying to build slowly.

Great looking cards!

Pickup from Strongsville

Strongsville Show
 

Went on Friday only. Nice show. Wasn't really looking for the Ruth but couldn't believe the condition.

Sam the eye appeal on that pair are off the charts.

Way to go!

Strongsville Show
 

Thanks Tony! That Ruth is crazy nice for the grade. I showed it to Memory Lane and a few of the dealers and they said so as well.

(New to the forum)

Don’t know how to post a picture from my library on the iPad, but yesterday at a local west coast show I scored:

—T206 Mordecai Brown (portrait, Piedmont 150, PSA 1.5)
—T205 Fred Merkle (Piedmont 25, PSA 5)
—T205 Clyde Milan (Piedmont 25, PSA 4.5)
—1922 E120 American Caramel Ed Gharrity (SGC 1.5)
—W512 strip hand-cut Rogers Hornsby (raw)
—1887 Allen & Ginter John McMahon (wrestler, SGC 2)

All cards present very well to the front, IMHO.

Steve

Sam, those are spectacular....... Congrats.

Think I figured it out…

Fantastic cards! What did you trade, a house? :D

Latest Pick-Up
 

The old collection, I had a '33 Goudey in an SGC 3. Unfortunately, I can no longer afford that. This was a reasonably priced alternative for a "playing days" Ruth.

Slowly chipping away at the P42 HOFer group. Happy to check off Cy Young!

Some fun stuff in the thread this month already!

Enjoy,
Bob

Beautiful card!

Strongsville pickups. Excited to add my first Wagner.

Congrats on those wonderful Strongsville pickups, the Cap Anson is my grail (and it looks fantastic)!

Speaking of looks, Ott seems like he’s about to deliver a beatdown... :)
