September 2011 Pickups

[Vintagecatcher]

A few hours early, but I'm excited to share my most recent pickup.

For years this issue has eluded me. I finally was able to add a George Gibson E105 Mello Mint to my collection.

It was listed poorly on eBay, and it shared an image with two other cards.

I was extremely fortunate to get it for the minimum bid. Someone penciled the American Card Catalog designation on the back in pink pencil, which the seller believed was a price.

It's a beauty, and without any creases!

Thanks. I'm surprised another one has turned up so fast. (Goodwin auction)

Hey - that W600 isn't Mike Donlin, it's Charlie Hemphill. Is that a known error? Also, I wonder whose face is on the Hemphill W600. I don't see that one in the Old Cardboard gallery.

Happy to add these 4 to my GQ collection.

[CharleyBrown]

wow some nice pre-September pickups. That Chance has incredible color imo - very nice looking 5.

Loving the '48 Leaf Paige - very tough card.

[Matt E.]

Leon Ames is fairly difficult to find in a decent grade. Glad to have picked this one up from Ebay buy it now.



Very happy to have worked out a trade for this higher grade Bugs Raymond.
Thanks to Frank Jennings.
Cards were mailed the same day and arrived just one day apart, perfect!

Thanks Legendary for the quick ship; an upgrade from my E101:

Thanks to Phil G. for pointing this item out to me...it's the 1913 Superior, Nebraska minor league club with Dazzy Vance. Absolutely stunning to me that two different Dazzy Vance minor league postcards show up in one year when they were previously unknown.

Congrats, Dan! Glad that you won it.

That E105 Gibson is one of my all-time favorites. There is something about the colors and image that make that card very special. Congrats on a great pick-up.

Thanks Jim.

I'm thrilled to have picked it up finally.

I know this is a somewhat rare card, but is it worth anything in this bad of shape?? I am just trying to figure out if this card is worth my time.




Thanks,
Dan

Dan- in a word: yes.

Thanks Tbob. The Moran T205 will now be my next project.

Not exactly baseball, but cool enough for me. A Billy Sunday Tabernacle PC, used and posmarked 1914. I love the odd and end players who went on to be notable for other things...

and a 19th century piece (by a few months):

Sorry, the scanner cut the bottom off (Miller, 2b. Pittsburg, Nat'l.) the front scan. I' ll get a better on up sometime.
