I don't think I've ever started a pickup thread.

Special thanks to Net54 member rand1com for this beauty:

I'm not sure if these are entirely appropriate for this thread, but I think these Goudey's are beautiful.

Prewar, so appropriate in my book, but I also hear that Sassacus played a mean third base for the Cleveland Guardians.

I beg to differ...that Lombardi item has a sharp image and excellent focus.

Nice pick ups so far,

I added a few Gehrig’s. They are all dupes, but you can’t go wrong adding them

Some serious pickups already this month. Congrats all. I just picked these two up for my T3 set (about 4-5 shy of complete now). And off eBay no less

PS- the Baker is not Baker, it’s Jack Barry. Unfortunate, but a necessary part of the set.

Love these. I’ve been casually picking them up here and there myself.

Great looking card.

[Vintagecatcher]

Honored to be the newest caretaker of this Fred Abbott T206. I have been waiting for the right example for a long time.

Thanks Scott!

Also picked up this E254 Syd Smith (Atlanta) in the recent REA Auction.

Quality control, if there was such a thing in those days, really blew that one, and I bet 'Old Home Run' was pissed, although in fairness Jack was part of Connie Mack's 'Million Dollar Infield'.

Thought this was cool- had to snag it

[Natswin2019]

Picked this up recently, been looking for it for a while. Happy to add it to the collection

Nice T3...in my eyes their big borders can have all sorts of damage and they can still look fantastic.

Very pleased to snag this Kalamazoo Bats Charlie Ferguson.
Here's a nice little write up by SABR on Charlie Ferguson and a career cut short.

Excited to add this to my HOF Portrait run w/ the back stamp! A rare Ebay purchase for me.

[BuzzD]

Thank you to seablaster for this T207 Hoff anonymous back

[LincolnVT]

Hoff is super tough! Congrats. My favorite T-207…I’ve got a nice Red Cycle or Broadleaf somewhere.

[V117collector]

It's been at least 4 years of searching for a nice example and wow what a specimen. Once I receive this card in the mail it's off to SGC. I'm extremely happy to add this card to my collection.

Great looking Obak, congrats on the pick up.

Thanks, Phil! Recently I've been wanting to get some T206 cards. But I fear getting into them due to the cost. Obak's are much easier on the wallet plus I think they look nicer even though they're minor league cards.

[Kawika]

Seeing as how you're in Vancouver (I'm in Victoria) I thought you might like to see my Van and Vic Obak subsets.

Nice cards, David! I hope to pick up some more Vancouver Obak's in the near future, and possibly make a run for the subset! Thanks for posting!

[anchorednw]

Excited to snag this beautiful copy of the 1913 World Champion Philadelphia A's. The "$100,000 infield" was dubbed by historian Bill James, the best infield of all time and included HOF'ers Eddie Collins, Frank "Home Run" Baker and Jack Barry. Also, pictured are HOF pitchers Chief Bender and Eddie Plank. Coached by HOF manager Connie Mack.

Well. You can be justifiably proud of your Charlie Ferguson. What a tragedy. Beautiful card.

[CobbSpikedMe]

Picked up this beautiful E98 Nap Lajoie blue background for my near set from fellow board member and good friend Phil after he upgraded his example for his master set.
Thank you so much Phil!!!

Nice addition to my N28 set.

My pleasure Andy, for those that might not be aware Andy is an inspirational collector of the old school variety, if you've never visited his T296 backstamp website it's something to behold.

And I 100% blame Andy for starting me on the E98 Master rabbit hole.

You're welcome Phil. I know I enjoyed your travels down that rabbit hole.

Was able to pick this up on eBay. Hard to come by and this was in great condition!
