June 2009 Pickup Thread

[jmk59]

Very happy to have these two, both with help from people here that called them to my attention or I'd never have seen them:

I am wildly happy to have this one. I also wildly overpaid, but was in "have to have it" mode. I think it is from 1890 based on image and uniform similarity to the 1890 Franklin Young Ladies Base Ball Club cab. This thing is in great shape. The gloss is almost perfect and the image is one of the clearest I have.

Really cool ring bats and a few compelling faces, plus maybe the youngest girl I've ever seen on one of these photos or PC's - check out the girl top row third from right - leaning on urn. Gah. She looks maybe 12-13? Tony Andrea pointed me in the direction of this one:

A really cool Alta Weiss I'd not seen before. I really like the photos and PC's with identified and famous (in that time) female players. Assist to Mark Perez for taking the time to point this one out:

Summer school tuition and books have floored me for June. My only pickup will probably be this fantasy card which I created. Unfortunately it only exists in my computer! Hope everyone else has a better month than me!!

Best,

Shawn

Fantastic! Congrats!

It's great to have another devotee of custom card creations sharing his efforts. My new motto: If you can't find the card you want -- make it!

Marty, great card.

Just woke up to find out I was fortunate enough to win this 1906 Providence W601 in the Clean Sweep Auction last night.

The 1906 Providence W601 pictures Ira Thomas just prior to his call-up to the Major League.

Nice pickup, Patrick.


These two arrived today (T205 via Joe D and the B/S/T - thanks!!):

[DeanH3]

Finally landed a Young portrait.

[mybuddyinc]

Sorry, boxing, but I've always wanted this Dana photo. Picked it up in last night's Gaynor/Dent auction:

A classic pre-match line up. But the stark difference between the tough and ripped Kaufmann and the bald Sullivan in his bagging shorts makes me .

BTW: Sullivan was a middleweight (won 72 (KO 22) + lost 36 (KO 7) + drawn 42). Kaufman was a heavyweight (won 25 (KO 16) + lost 8 (KO 5) + drawn 1). In this fight Kaufmann outweighed Sullivan by 30 pounds and won by decission. Kaufmann was one of the "Great White Hopes," but never panned out.

Wow Dean. That Young is such a nice, nice card. Not just a nice Young or a nice T206 or a nice 40. It's a really great-looking card overall. I wish all my cards looked that good - especially all the 40's!

Great pickup.

The lovely Mrs John Ward, the woman who donated the Dauvray Cup as a trophy to the "Worlds Series" champion.

Nice Young portrait. I too picked one of those up as I think it is a great card of the winningist pitcher there will ever be. Classic Horner type portrait on a classic green background. Vintage cards just don't get better they only get different.

[tbob]

Been looking for this one for a while.

Thanks, David and David.

I only have a handful of cards but am fond of the Turkey Reds and have been on the lookout for a presentable top-tier HOF T-3 at a good price. I found this and it fits in quite nicely into my display.

[CobbSpikedMe]

I'm very excited about this one. This knocks a very difficult card off of my Jersey City Wantlist.

[DeanH3]

Thanks Joann, I appreciate the kind words. I'm pretty excited to get it. I have been waiting for a nice Young Portrait for a while so I can't wait.

Frank:

Excellent pick-up on the stray line! I guess there still are a few deals to be had on eBay.

[canjond]

It's been a busy month but almost there with the set (a nice low grade one)!

[ethicsprof]

congratulations, ole friend.
i know that you've been working most diligently on this one.

all the best,

Won this T200 Fatima premium the other month from Heritage; just got it back from the framer today.

[Bicem]

very nice David!

[deadballera]

E92 with Toy Town stamp !!

[HRBAKER]

[sesop]

I picked this up last night. Not vintage, but I thought it was really cool. I never saw one before- apparently issued by Helmar (potato chip company in the mid-west). It's an 11x14 silk.

[tbob]

David- great minds think alike (on the Vaughn). I should have bid a little bit higher to steal it. Congrats.

Thanks Rhys, this helps the slow moving D311 set toward completion.
