September Pickups

[edjs]

Well, I was hoping to put these in the August pickups, but they still haven't come. I finally decided to use the scans from the auction. I'm sure they will come soon.

Not a big deal, It is because I paid by check to receive the 3% discount. I send the check from California, it takes about 4 days to get to NJ, then Al has a 7-10 day wait on checks before shipping (I recommended that to him after he got stiffed on several thousand from a guy in Nevada).

Neal, that is a spectacular image of Speaker. Congrats on a beautiful card.

Factor a postal holiday in there as well! We're pretty well caught up on shipping, we've been shipping most PayPal and credit card payments the same or next day (depending on the time of day the payment is received), and I can tell you that your package is right here next to me, to be delivered to the Post Office first thing in the morning. You should have it Thursday!

Wow that Horner is amazing! The clarity on those is just jaw dropping. Love the hair with the parting down the middle.

From the same time period....Here's an item that after extensive research have not seen another (would be very interested to know if anyone else has). Didn't even see one in the Dreier collection. Measuring 2'9" x 13" x 9.5" this Cracker Jack crate was used to ship 100 cartons from the Rueckheim Bros. & Eckstein factory in Chicago. Stamped on the top "C.F. Narhold Co Cleveland" and "Neumeyer & Beach C-O Park Chippewa Lake OH" both candy manufacturers and creameries and were likely business destinations for the sweet confections during the life of the crate. I believe these crates were used to deliver the cartons and possibly unloaded and brought back to the factory to re-use. The wood is very light weight which makes it even more remarkable that this survived 100+ years. On all sides you have red and black writing that is has been stamped into the wood. The metal hinges are functional but missing some screws and both hinges and screws look old to the period. Would love to know if anyone knows anything more about these crates!

[orly57]

AJ, that is fantastic. Goes well with your original CJ box too. What a unique and beautiful item. Congrats man.

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

Thanks Orlando!

[Jobu]

Nice AJ!

That sure is a lot of packaging for a single cardboard box of Cracker Jacks -- maybe the shipper now works for Christies?

Seriously though, that is a great display you have.

I wonder if I can find anything out about these. My fiancee is from Seville, OH, which is right next to Chippewa Lake. In fact it's a 2 minute drive from her house to the actual Chippewa Lake, which used to be a booming lake with an amusement park and everything. Her family has lived in that area for A LONG time.

Excellent, excellent pickup.

[pete zouras]

Thanks Dan!

I think this was a tough one...

Kyle that would be cool! Let me know if you do.

Thanks Bryan appreciate the kind words!

Just got back from the Long Beach Expo. Great to finally meet Mark and Sal. Saw some great stuff at the Memory Lane booth, a Cobb Lucky 7, Ruth bat and card, some high end T206 Cobbs. Small enough to be personable, big enough to have nice stuff. And if this Southworth isn't just the cutest thing?

With the acquisition of the Heinie Wagner, I have completed my T205 Red Sox team set. The Kleinow and Wagner were more difficult to find than I had anticipated, but the search was fun... The Henriksen was an impulse Ebay bid that I ended up winning. Kinda cool that on the back he is described as "the viking descended outfielder of the Boston Americans".

1 of 1 graded by PSA (Seems there are 1 or 2 raw copies out there as well)

An E121 type card.

[ValKehl]

Dimitry, nice pickup! I encourage you to also show the back of your card, which, IMHO, is more interesting than the front.

Oh, that is the rough part. Made me want to cry.

Picked up this "Handsome" Harry E101 to be a companion piece for the E92 Dockman I had previous that had missed some color passes.

Wow Andrew very nice! Love the centering! I think 5 grades are the sweet spot for T206's

Thanks, AJ. I agree regarding the 5 grade...

Another modest addition to my Hal Chase collection...not bad for about $20...thoughts on what PSA or SGC might give this grade wise? I assume a 1 or a 2 but being a paper issue, not sure if they are generally more or less lenient...

I think Beckett is the only alphabet soup that has a holder for the M101-2s.

Matt, nice pickup for $20. I think the top edge would keep it as a 1. As far as I am aware, only BVG grades them. I don't believe either the PSA or SGC holders are not large enough.
