National pick ups
 

Posted By: <b>Jim Clarke</b><p>The National being 500 tables down from last year had pretty slim pickings. Anything nice you found were priced at auction prices (with juice). I think the main reason I go to the Nationals each year, is to keep in touch with many fellow collectors. Here are some items I picked up so Tammy knows I actually went out there..<br /><br />I know some others had some good buys as well (Leon, Peter, Scott, Adam) to name a few.. <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1154228046.JPG"> <br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1154228082.JPG"> <br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1154228160.JPG"> <br />

Posted By: <b>Jimmy Leiderman</b><p>Nice pick ups!<br />I'm not 100% sure but that cabinet card shows the Pinetrees B.B.C. from the Wesleyan Seminary in Kent's Hill, Maine.<br />

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>Forget auction with juice prices, some folks were outright out of their minds. I couldn't believe the prices that some wanted for mid-grade T206s. Wonder where they pulled those numbers from???? I saw a few cards that peaked my interest but were either way out of my league, trimmed, or really worn. I did pick this up at Scott's table, which I'm quite happy with. However, I would consider this a borderline overgrade on SGC's part.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1154392990.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Joe_G.</b><p>Bruce, impressive pick-ups, some extremely nice pieces. It was great meeting you and seeing that N172 Brouthers in person. Certainly one of the best out there.<br /><br />Here are the two items I picked up from Dave and had graded on-site. I also picked up a PSA3 1888 Brouthers that is being crossed over.<br /><br />I enjoyed the show and plan to make next year my 4th in a row.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1154398565.JPG"> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1154398596.JPG"> <br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Joe Gonsowski

Posted By: <b>BcD</b><p>did you see Alan Silvers????<br /><br />I heard we have a long time friend in common for the same reason!<br />We both got killer cards from him 10-15 years ago!<br /><br />Doug Allen brought him to the Mastro dinner!<br /><br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Bob C.</b><p>Picked this up from Steve on my way out Friday. Way out of my area but I love the visual & got a swinging deal on it! I was hoping some of our Cuban collectors could help. I was also kind of hoping that lovely creature in the front row is Effa Manley, but with my luck she is probably the local miss sugar cane queen, 1928. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.rbcraik.com/ebay/cuban.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.rbcraik.com/ebay/cubanb.jpg"><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Brian, I did see Alan Silvers and his son Kyle. Originally we were going to meet at the show Thursday at 1 pm but Alan wasn't feeling very well and decided not to come at all. Then Doug twisted his arm and they came to the dinner. <br /><br />Probably half the good cards in my collection came from Alan. <br /><br />I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to meet and talk in person.

Posted By: <b>Zach Rice</b><p>Here are a few of my favorites from the show. I was suprised to find the Crofts Candy Zimmerman, it was tucked in a pile of T206s. Other notables but not scanned are a 38 Goudey Joe D., three Collins-McCarthy's, seven E90-1s, E97 Moore, 1915 CJ Moore, and T200s of both Philly teams.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m28/zachrice_2006/t210group.jpg"> <img src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m28/zachrice_2006/e92.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m28/zachrice_2006/zeenutgrtoup.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m28/zachrice_2006/dand.jpg">

One table<br />had a hundred or so midgrade t206 cards. Titus/Sov150/PSA5 with a sticker of $1000<br />is one I had to ask about. No real explanation was given other than "that's what <br />that card has been selling for". The mustache craze must be realy catching fire. <br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Bottom of the Ninth</b><p>shhhhhh. Don't tell anybody but you guys are posting on a 2 year old thread.

Posted By: <b>Shawn Chambers</b><p>That is hilarious! I started reading this thread and was about 10 deep before I noticed it was 2 years old! It is cool to see all the T210s that Zach came home with in '06. I recognize the Chase-Maysville Series 6 because it is now mine, but I acquired it from another owner who must have gotten it from him.
