July Pickups

[the-illini]

Never started one of these before - here are some Worch cigar HOFers I recently got - love the poses on the Mack and the Medwick rookie...

[clydepepper]

Good Stuff, Chris. Congrats!

[GregMitch34]

One of only 3 PSA 9s for any C46...

Love that Gehrig Chris!!!! Where did you score that at?

[ullmandds]

beautiful cards chris!

[Rhotchkiss]

Its been a longtime since I made a non-T206 pick-up. The Gretzky is just something I always wanted. The Jackie is a card I have been looking at, and thanks to Sam's "buying the green Cobby and not the grade," I decided to go up on what i feel is a very under-graded 52 Topps Jackie

It's hard to tell exactly from your small pic but that does look like a very nice PSA-4 Jackie!
Centering looks really good.

Congrats!

[orly57]

Agreed! Tough to tell from the small image, but the color and centering on that Jackie looks amazing. Congrats on picking up two awesome and important cards.
Worch pickups are great. It's amazing how the layouts from the same set can be so different.
Greg, I'm not familiar with that set or player, but congrats on what is obviously a rare grade on a gorgeous card.

[GregMitch34]

Orlando, thanks. It's a 1912 minor league set, with odd design that some people love and others not so much. But it's distinctive and you almost never see a "9" in ANY minor league set. Kind of amazing--who has ever seen a mint Obak? early Zeenut? Old Mill? etc. Or even a NM. Which is worth speculating about. There are a fair number of "8" in the C46, though.

[familytoad]

As always some great early month pickups.
Mine is an OBAK.
I think this was a good price, not run up if you know what I mean

These look so good in SGC holders when in nicer grade.
Of course my raw binder of beater cards still look very nice to me!

[Brian Van Horn]

An oddity, a Casey and a Tutti-Frutti:

Beautiful pieces of historic cardboard!

Brian, nice job on that Adam's, great bargain. Ya caught me sleeping, I forgot it was closing today.

[Tripp Trapp]

I'm curious what your thoughts are on this Speaker. The research I've done seems to suggest that it may not be an actual "missing red ink" variant but a printing anomaly. This Speaker seemingly is missing the red ink identifying Boston on the uniform, but the red ink on Speaker's cap is clearly there. Could there have been two separate red color passes and/or printing plates for this particular card? Seems odd but plausible I guess.

Great pick up! Love those Obaks!

Anthony,

Not sure if that comment was directed at my pickups, but if it was, I thank you.

Good question. Maybe it has to do with being here 3 1/2 yrs and having only 3 posts.

First triple crown winner, maybe the first player to turn an unassisted triple play. Very nice. Sweet cards!!!

[oldjudge]

Great pickup Daryle. Not many people can claim to have all four.

[Piratedogcardshows]

Very nice looking Hines pose run. Great work!

Brian, nice WWG of Gehrig. My snipe wasn't as high as yours so congrats. Just got this in today from Christies as we had a little dispute over the shipping/handling charges that we both finally agreed upon. A nice early type 1 image of Ty Cobb.

[Vintagecatcher]

Big thanks to Greg Mitchell for this 1912 Walter Schmidt zeenut!

Patrick

[rhettyeakley]

A few new additions...

1912 Baker-the Vertical is new and REALLY tough, to go with the Horizontal


Another nearly impossible 1912:


Another pretty tough one: 1912 Fitzgerald, has such a strange color and look to it. It was actually a doctored version of his 1911...


Upgrades:

Picked up a nice looking low grade HOFer.

[GregMitch34]

Screen-like pattern just in the scan..

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up the last T205 catcher I needed for my project that matches a T205 catcher with their corresponding colored S74 silks. Need just 2 more S74 catchers: Schlei and Graham.

Patrick

[Rhotchkiss]

Check this sucker off the T206 rare-back checklist.

[mrvster]

holy smokes!

[GregMitch34]

Couple more cool Helmar cabinets: the tragic Roger Youngs and Roger Bresnahan catching. http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1499859341

[Vintagecatcher]

Received this awesome T210 of George Cowan, Portsmouth this morning from David Bryan. The card is nicer than the scan.

Wanted to pick up another T210 after finally completed my run of T210 catchers wearing chest protectors.

The black in the collar, the brim of the hat, and lettering on the hat and uniform really pops.

Perhaps I'll attempt to add a catcher from each of the eight series now.

Patrick

[darwinbulldog]

Normally I don't collect photos, but this one was too cool to pass up.

[Jcfowler6]

My first card of Mr. Matthewson. Pristine-loved condition.

Not greatest condition but for the price I couldn't resist

Hi Greg,

I was the seller (rcdevil) of this card. I actually had a PSA 9 #31 (Sharpe) card as well but I sold it to a buyer in Toronto, who now has 2 of the 3 mint-graded C46s. Glad you like the card!

Cheers,

Rob

[nebboy]

I only need 1 more Hof for set after this pickup.

Picked up this Chief Meyers art photo this morning from the framer.
