July Pickup Thread

[tbob]

Managed to win these 2 the last 2 nights on eBay. I've never been much of an autographed card guy but an E96 autographed Hall of Famer was too good to pass up. The D311 Howard is another indication of the fact that tough cards are becoming available and obtainable at good prices if you can sort through the muck on ebay and find the bargains.

What a great way to start the pickup thread. Nice cards Bob.

And nice Wright too!

[Jacklitsch]

Should arrive today.

[scooter729]

Mr. Mailman showed up yesterday with this one for me...

[tbob]

Steve- nice pickup. I would think the number of Hallas available now are almost nil with our recent pickups. Glad you are very close to completion.

Thanks Bob! Bernard and Fullerton left to go (and of course Bohen )

Steve,
Where did you pick up the Halla? Auction or a private sale?

Halla came through a trade. I gave up my Frank Chance 1917 Zeenut along with a number of other choice Z's. We're both happy with the trade.

[quinnsryche]

Got One! #1 Most Wanted now off my list.

[Robextend]

Congrats Tony, nice to get #1 out of the way. That is a very nice example.

[deadballera]

a couple of exhibits

[Robextend]

Another Waddell Portrait I needed:

[rholmes]

From the waning hours of June, actually...

[Mikehealer]

Nice card, Ray. One of my favorites.

[ptowncoug3012]

Looks like a square deal. Well if you only have the Bernard and Fullerton left, you must have a Bill Lindsay. There is only 2 on the SGC registry (I got one of them) and none on the PSA registry. Is yours the other? Any theory why he is so rare as opposed to the other 1911 Zeenuts except Bohen?

[tbob]

coug- That's one of the few cards I still need in the 1911 set. If you decide to let it go for cash or trade, let me know, I'd be interested. I have the Home Run Kisses Lindsay but not the 1911 Zeenut.

[ptowncoug3012]

this needs to be on the BST side.....

[Leon]

I couldn't believe this one had a Nadja back.....I had to have it as an upgrade

Yes I have the only other one. The theory, postulated by Matt The Mod, is that family members have been actively collecting them ala Brian Miller.

[cfc1909]

its really tough adding to my 206 Baltimore collection at this point-I have added two cards in three years.

this is the only Jackson Carolina Brights I have ever seen-thank you Dan McKee

Was happy to add this Tolstoi backed HOFer:

[old-baseball]

Picked this up in a trade. Thanks Mike!

[M's_Fan]

This beauty arrived last week, and it immediately has become one of my favorites. My first S81 silk too. I'm thinking of having it framed.

[tbob]

Beautiful Matty! Get it framed with absolute, postive, no-conditions-otherwise-acceptable orders that it not be trimmed in any manner to fit a frame.

[rp12367]

These just came in today's mail:

[Abravefan11]

Thanks to Brian and another flawless B/S/T transaction I'm now at 7 of 10 for my N300 Boston subset.

[Jantz]

Nice card Tim!

With a nice clear image too.

Congrats

Jantz

[milkit1]

That McCarthy has got to be the nicest card in that set. That's an incredible image!

[Scott L.]

Happy to pick this up tonight. I think this gets the toughest card out of the way.

[abrahamrudy]

Got a t205 Cobb for a bargain. My first t205 HOFer. Building this set is a long-term project, but this is the most encouraging news I've had in a while.

[quinnsryche]

Thanks to Jim Loewke for these 5 greats!

Nice card Abraham!

[Robextend]

Another excellent B/S/T transaction!

I now have 9 of the possible 15 Waddell T206 Front/Back Combos

3/8 Portrait
6/7 Throwing

Wish me luck on that Hindu Portrait...lol

[Orions father]

#49 out of 50.

[Abravefan11]

Even though I bought these a few months ago, I just got around to scanning them and wanting to give a board member a public Thank You for helping me with me niche set.

[Mikehealer]

Nice group Tim. Glad to get this one.

[Matthew H]

Nice Dahlen Tim, my favorite 19th century Player. (even though he played into the 20th)

[scooter729]

A new OJ pickup. Granted, the image is on the light side, but for just over $100, I'll take it!

[Steve D]

Just got this in the mail from the BST (Thank you to Zach Rice)



Steve

[quinnsryche]

Thanks to Floyd Soeder for these 3.

[milkit1]

Been a good month. Started and am within two (Smith variation in the mail) of having a white sox t206 team set with seven different backs including a hindu Fielder Jones I got for $16!!! Total spent thus far: $415

Wow Sean, how did you pull that one off?

[milkit1]

Hi Rob!

An extremely lucky ebay purchase! Also did some serious trading for some of the others thanks to Marc, Ray, and Erick!
Just need sleepy Bill Burns and the non team variation F. Smith

[t206hound]

I bought a few lots of T206 on ebay and was shocked to see that the Snodgrass "Piedmont back" was a 350-460 Factory 42! My cost... $10.

[milkit1]

nice pick up erick! We both had a good ebay week

[canjond]

Picked up a cornerstone for my collection although it cost me a pretty penny. This is, from what I've been told, 1 of 2 known original Gypsy Queen countertop displays.

[Matthew H]

Wow Jon, that is great lookin'.

[jtschantz]

Now if I could just the elusive E94 Lajoie!
