July Pick Up Thread

[4815162342]

A birthday gift from my wife.

#30

[z28jd]

Finally got one of these cards

This Larry Corcoran guy threw three no-hitters, finished with a 177-89 record over eight seasons, and he led the league in strikeouts (1880), wins (1881) and ERA (1882).

Continuing the N172 theme, it's been a good month for Dalrymple OJ's. After nearly a year of nothing, 2 have surfaced and I, of course, scooped them up.

[3-2-count]

OJ's are hot right now! Nice pick ups guys!

Technically Ty arrived about a week ago, but I hadn't got around to posting him in June due to my work schedule.

According to the seller it's a new to the hobby card from a one owner collection. That sealed the deal for me!

Neat...it probably feels natural to have a couple more Dalrymples under your roof.

I assume a relative?

Nice looking T205 Cobb Tony.

Just wanted to ensure your card was triple Brian approved.

It's a shame you weren't looking Silver Flint N172s because it seems almost every auction with more than a few N172s there's a bunch of Silver Flint cards up for auction.

I'm a Cubs collector, so part of it is probably a focus bias and part is probably coincidence, but I've been seeing so Silver Flints up for sale/auction the past couple years I feel like it's the junk wax of OJs.

Nice #181 Ruth Michael. Presents far nicer than a 2 and it's centered nicely.

My pick up of the year candidate arrived yesterday compliments of REA. Ty is sensational!

[calvindog]

That's a beautiful CJ Cobb. There's 1.5s and then there's 1.5s like this one. Really wonderful card and borders. I love it.

+1 that is a fantastic card. I like the staining!!!

And the others in this thread are awesome. Nice pick ups so far, guys!

Many thanks Jeff & Leon and I agree. When a card displays like this the numerical # given by third party grading is pretty irrelevant.

I'm beyond happy with the purchase!

[MVSNYC]

Thanks Eric and Tony!

Tony, that Cobb is fire!

Congrats Tony! Awesome pick up, well bought imho.

[Belfast1933]

Geez, some amazing adds here already!

I added back this great Delong Cochrane card…. Probably overpaid a little but I just couldn’t let this card this well centered get away!

[3-2-count]

Mike, Jeff K, Daryl, Phil - Thanks fellas

[benchod]

Beauties Tony and Michael
The Goudey Babe and the CJ Cobby present so much nicer than the grades

[babraham]

Heck of a start to the month.
Great additions.
That 1.5 CJ Cobb looks way nicer than a 1.5. Congrats!
And a '14 too!

[Rhotchkiss]

Tony, as if you need another compliment on an amazing looking 1914 CJ Cobb- congrats!

Nice Ruth Mike- also amazing for the grade.

As is the Delong Cochrane - great eye appeal

What a beauty

[samosa4u]

I got this one in a trade deal a few days ago. It's not baseball, but a well-known card in the hobby.

Oh, and I have no freaking idea why PSA put it in that stupid over-sized slab!! I am gonna' have to get this fixed !!

[mrreality68]

Finally scored my white whale.

Deal put big money down just need to make final payment hopefully soon

Hoping to have in hand by September

My first and only Goudey

[yanksfan09]

Absolutely amazing pickup Jeff! That’s one way to add a first Goudey!

One of the greatest cards in the hobby. But signed by the Babe himself? That's crazy! One of the all-time best pick ups. Congratulations, sir!

White Whale indeed!

What a card. What an autograph. It has it all.

Congratulations Jeff!

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up another 855 Centennial Baseball FDC.

[Bicem]

Great Ruth Jeff, congrats!

[B O'Brien]

I always swore I’d never buy what looks to be a trimmed card, but most every, never, has an exception. I love the look of this card.

I need to do some archive digging to see what’s up with the print lines you see on these sometimes. Very curious and I know there are some serious C card folks here so hopefully there is some info floating around.

Happy 4th to all!
Bob

Scrolling back through this thread once again this morning just to have another look at Jeff's amazing signed Ruth card! Happy 4th everyone!

Oh, and thanks to Craig, Brian A and Ryan for the props on my Cobb pick up. Appreciate it fellas.

Thanks Everyone

I am psyched for this pickup but it has been tough passing on many great items I keep seeing
and even harder as I shrink my collection to upgrade the quality of cards as best I can.
Down to 16 Cards in the collection.

[HOF_Forever]

That Ruth is amazing!

I'm over here just feeling good about the first T3 I've picked up.

[Rhinoactions]

Lajoie collection growing stronger, excited for the National, I’m a Cleveland guy

Thx

Jeff, for what it is worth, I used to own that card and auctioned it off way too early. Sigh.

Wow. Amazing.

[doug.goodman]

Just slightly less cool than a signed Ruth, are these t206 Teletrade pickups.

I just found them in a long forgotten box, and while they predate the internet, they might have been acquired in (a) July.

I think they are my only t206 cards (unless they aren't t206 cards, or if I find more buried deeper).

They fit nowhere in my collection (except evidently forgotten boxes), so offers for the lot encouraged.

Doug

[refz]

Happy to add this one

[mrreality68]

I love all the new pickups.
Love the diversity and history all the cards represent

[Tomi]

Two for me.

[bleeckerstreetcards]

still can't get over that signed goudey Babe Jeff. Amazing
