[e107collector]

Steve,

That's a very clean card for a "2." Great pickup!

That Wagner is awesome Steve, congrats on the pickup.

Not a national pick up, but I dig my CJ Baker you sold me... thanks again!

I feel the same way LOL

[Edwolf1963]

Two more to add to the stack. Fair prices, nothing great - happy w/these two nonetheless and the SGC crossovers.

Staying with the "National CJ Pick Up" theme...here's mine

Going along with the National CJ theme, here's my CJ pick up

Last few hrs today after 2 days of searching.

I picked up two cards of the three I needed for my 1908 Cubs set. I'm trying to get one card from each member of the team, and scored a Vin Campbell and a Del Howard! Only guy left is Andy Coakley. Wish he was in something less costly than the T204 set!

[Blunder19]

Nice AB's Andrew.. tough cards!

Thanks to Don H. from Net 54 who was great in working with me on the price even though it was not his card.............

[bobfreedman]

I bought the Cy Young Paul Thompson photo so, I had to buy the card as well to go together.

[jimivintage]

Nice Delahanty, Phil!

Hi Ed,

Those are some great 1914 CJ's. How is your collection coming along?

Brent, when I went over to pick up my dog this morning, I gave my CJ Ruth to the little girls who were watching her - they were elated to get a Babe Ruth card.

Did you see the painting it was created from? Awesome.

That's awesome Scott! I did, it's gorgeous. Got the CJ book as well, quite a fun read so far

[atx840]

Thanks to Scott F for this brown/name layer ghost, it's been on the list for a while.

[HOF Auto Rookies]

Made an impulse buy waaaaaay out of my collecting habits. I've always wanted an OJ, especially of nice crisp and bold images. I ended up with 9 lol, and gave one to my dad who actually OWNS one of the cameras that shot these gorgeous cards, and helped a small portion in the OJ book.

Nothing special, but hope you enjoy them as much as I do:

[HOF Auto Rookies]

But got these signed in person and finally got some high grades of these, though some didn't grade as well as pre-slab break

Hey Barry, good - about half way so far on the 1914's. I don't think I'm really going for the entire set -- to lay out the $$$ for Matty, Pratt, Wagner, Cobb, etc - I'd break the bank. But, as they say, the fun is in the search and collecting (or so I keep telling myself )

Thanks for the nice feedback, hope all is well.

Sweet Banks Brent! Ever since meeting him last year at Harry Carray's, I've been tempted to bring my raw '54 Banks next time I'm in Chicago on business and just wander the streets, blue sharpie in hand until I found him again.

Thanks! Yeah was happy with the full 1 number grade bump (from an SGC 6) but it got the MC qualifier for obvious reasons lol. Yeah Banks was awesome. I didn't get Jackson, but he seemed like he was having a great time which was surprising from all the stories about him.

[Big Ben]

Walked into The National today looking for a Ruth or a Gehrig.. That was until I visited the Olympic Section and found some items!

[ullmandds]

I picked up this N154...2 female player bodies with jinormous presidential candidate heads pose...now I have two...I guess I'll have to go for the set now!

And I didn't pay $375 for it.

Wow! That is a work of art!

[the 'stache]

So much eye candy in this thread. Wow!

I can't thank you guys enough. With every new pickup thread, you are all broadening my horizons, so to speak.

Steven, that Honus CJ is gorgeous. From the scan, it presents much better than a 2.

Ian, great Frank Baker. Is that SGC slabbed, or is it free to hold in your hands?

Ed, you picked up two great cards. For somebody like me that is quite unfamiliar with the PW Cracker Jacks, it's a treat to see both Tris and Zach. I've never seen either card before. The expression on Mr. Wheat's face is priceless.

jtschantz, beautiful Eddie Plank. I doubt very much that I'll ever own a Plank T206, but when it comes time for me to pickup one of his cards, that's one I will seriously consider.

I'm really starting to love this set! Thank you all for sharing. I feel inspired!

Ben, it looks nice, but I don't know what it is. Please tell me.

[Big Ben]

Sean, this was a total impulse purchase. Something that I normally do not attempt. I did some quick research on my iPhone and as the show went on, I knew that I would kick myself if I didn't at least try to negotiate a deal. From what I was told and from some research I did last night, this is a winner's medal from the 1900 Paris Olympic Games. Watching American Pickers really helped me with my negotiation skills as I did a bundle purchase with this medal and a cast iron plaque from the 1936 Olympics games. I am still trying to do more research though.

[honus94566]

Picked up a CJ McGraw (1915, but obviously box-pulled).

Also, T213 Cobb bat off, I actually didn't notice until after I'd purchased it but there is a light ghost image on the back.

Do you have a scan of the Cy Young?

Nice OJs Brent!

[bcornell]

I was determined not to have a repeat of last year's shutout. I flipped a bunch of Rose PC's and a K-Bats card for a D304 Cobb then, at the last minute, traded that for these N321's. Thanks to RM for the generous trade.



Bill

[murcerfan]

Bill.
well done.
I'm green with envy.
or... is it Green Lantern envy?

[Michael Peich]

Wow, Bill, that is a great trade. Well done.

Cheers,
Mike

[DixieBaseball]

It was great catching up with several Net 54er's! I was able to pick up my first Zeenut from Rhett Yeakley, and a 1939 Sporting News Southern Association Wall Schedule, as well as a Nashville Vol Uniform contract from 1946. (Vols/Cubs) My favorite pick up came as I was walking out the door on Day 3 heading for the airport... I am not sure what this is but I believe it to be a printing plate with a team on it. I thought it was cool, so I picked it up. I have collected cards, cabinets, post cards, but never have come across a team on a printing plate, so I had to have it. The picture actually is more clear than the plate as it is copper/metal with nails around the border on a wood block. This is just a bberry snapshot, but it actually made it more easier to see...

Great stuff, guys. Thanks for sharing.

Great looking McGraw. Lip registration is perfect.

You say "box-pulled" like that's a bad thing I much prefer the box-pulled CJ's, stains and all. Nostalgia and all. I like to imagine the thrill/disappointment of the kid pulling the card, or the unthinkable even, that the card was a mere afterthought to the crunchy goodness waiting in the box.

I meant it as a good thing. As in, it's a 1915, but it's box-pulled (so it's more "legit" like a 1914.) I also really like the idea that someday 100 years ago, somebody pulled that card out of a CJ box while at a ballgame or something like that.

A also like the CJ box stains. And in T206s I really like polar bears with minor stains too.

[Bicem]

holy crap Bill! very nice.
