June Pickups Thread
 

Starting it this month because I'm so excited this morning

Wow, I don’t blame you for being excited. Congrats!

Agreed and Congrats

Congrats on the E107 Delahanty. What a great looking card!

Congrats on a great card! The Brockleman Auction was fun last night, although I was swimming at a different end of the pool than were you. Great selection of offerings.

Phenomenal card! Congrats!

Love that card and that one is a looker!
Congratulations n a real monster,
Bob

That's solid! Congratulations :)

I also got a good start this month.

Memory Lane pickup

1 of 2 known.

Not exactly your typical Ruth

Fortunate to add this to my collection

Butch Schmidt completes the Subset
 

I have been chasing this card for quite some time. Old Butch Schmidt was the last card I needed to complete the 14 member Boston Braves Cracker Jack subset. Looking on eBay and there he was. Was able to buy direct from seller, the colors on this one are great …nice deep red!

Wow, Jeff! Apparently you really wanted that one.

Awesome Ruth Jeff!
Will look great in your collection!

That's awesome! Congrats on a very "cool" pickup, sir!

Pickups from the Detroit Sports Spectacular this weekend.

Nice haul Elliot. Those display great for their grades. Well done.

Thank you, Dean. I actually just recently re-slabbed the T206 Christy Mathewson you sold me and am very happy with how it looks its new case.

Looks great Elliot. I definitely need to get some re-slabbed as well.

Great pickups everyone. Love the Ruth, Delahanty, Cobb and Mathewson. Here is a Pathe Freres Babe Ruth I recently picked up from Heritage. Appreciate everyone's research on this one, which has made this card less and less affordable. :)

Wow, congrats on that one! I was watching that and had a few bids in on the earlier stages. I think it's one of the most interesting and best looking Ruth pieces out there.

Congrats on that beautiful card
Sadly I was the underbidder but glad you got it

Nice postcard. The flip says circa 1920's but it's most likely from 1922. All of the ads that I've seen that include Ruth are from August-September 1922 except one ad in an Hawaii newspaper from February 17 1923.


Here's one from a September 30 1922 El Paso newspaper

That is very cool Patrick.
Thanks for sharing

And yet another.

I wondering if there are any hard copies of those.
Would be great to put them together and match them up with my card

I wonder what the value of a hard-copy example of those ads would be. $5,000? $10,000?

What a monster my friend! 😮 wow

🙏
 

First time, I’ve added a card in this type condition to my collection. It however very rarely comes up and one of the rarest of the set I’m collecting. I’m ecstatic to have it!

Some amazing pickups already this month. The e107 Delahanty is amazing, and Jeff, your Ruth is perfect for your collection. Congrats all

Josh- nice bread!
I was stoked when I got my -portrait last month
Greg Morris had a bunch end the other night

Always enjoy the monthly pick up threads but June (only 3 days in) has been particularly awesome. Great E107 Jackie Bond and beautiful Ruth items. Congrats to all, Ruth Freres my favorite image of the Babe.

More pickups
 

Here are 3 CJ’s and a 1906 Hooks Wiltse Fan Craze.
I have several images of Hooks I have collected over the years, in many, he has this “haunting gaze”( see last two photos to compare to new Fan Craze card).

The advertisement I posted above is a hard copy available on eBay right now.

Meanwhile, searching Google, I found this actual foil wrapper.

This whole thing is one of the most fascinating Babe Ruth-related things I have ever seen. Jeff, your postcard absolutely amazing!

James you make me obsessed

I saw this and you directed me to eBay and now it is mine to put together with the card

Now I have the card and the paper with the advertisement

Thank you so much

Not mine Jeff but here's another companion piece that is out there....Babe helping out on the production line:D

My pleasure, Jeff. Your postcard and the story around it is incredibly interesting!

Pleased to add another HOF'er to my W514 set effort.

Thank you, Ben.

Just started collecting tickets. Here are a few initial pickups; one is prewar, so I qualify!

-
Haha, like my pops used to say "if you're gonna be a Bear, be a Grizzly".

Strong move out of the gate Ryan, awesome pick ups and best wishes on your new focus.
-

It's a shame you haven't been able to pick up any cool ones...

Ryan, outstanding tickets! Really happy you’re starting to collect them. I love tickets, they tell stories and have so much history. The Mantle Debut is a beast.

Congrats on the pickups Ryan

Looked at tickets but have not gotten into them yet

Thanks all.
I agree totally Mike, about the stories/history.

Happy to pick up a Blue Crofts for the type collection.

Purchased in May, but didn’t arrive until yesterday
 

May was a good month, picking up four cards and getting the number of missing cards to complete a set down to an even 100. I’ve updated the wish list in the post on the B/S/T thread and posted images of several I know exist but I don’t have.

Thanks to everyone on the board for your help in making this all possible.

Joe Massaguer
 

Very happy to have picked this up. It is a 1928 Aguilitas Cuba Deportiva card of sports writer Joe Massaguer. The only known example. Joe was one of Cuba's best sports writers during the first half of the 20th Century. For his contribution to covering and promoting Cuban baseball he was elected to the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame.

lol, Pete. Congrats, love that card.

Love it. I already told you but have you say / type it again.
