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.

Nice pickups, Ed and I thank you for this one:

This is tough one I have been after for a while.

Holy F!

How?????????

[orly57]

Holy F&@$ is right Jeff. Holy F&@$ indeed. For those of you who don't collect PCs, there are three known specimens of this card. This PSA 6, of course, being the highest graded by far.

[edjs]

Orly and Jeff, thanks for the holy f's, but they aren't that great! Oh, you mean....lol

Jeff, that is a great, great PC.

[clydepepper]

Jeff- don't let the guy mess with you...that's a pretty good pickup.

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!

Great pick-ups! I love the pose on the M101-4 Wagner. Sweet card.

This one put me over the half way hump. I now have 9 of the 16 Ft Worth players.

[mantlefan]

I've always liked this pose:

Ben congrats on the progress with the FTW subset

[Piratedogcardshows]

Its not pretty nor was it cheap. However, I am happy to have finally completed my Series 4 set with this pickup! I had been stuck on 48/49 for almost two years until this one popped up. Thank you David!

Dude, great!

OT. I usually don't collect boxers, but this is one of four exceptions. The Pittsburgh Windmill:

Horner Cabinet from the recent Christies sale.

Congrats Jason! It seems like only yesterday that you began collecting T210s! Hope you don't mind my asking, but how many of the eight T210 series have you now completed?

Very nice Jason, completing a full Series is worthy of its own thread. Congrats!

A big +1 on both posts. Start a new thread us fellow T210 collectors can drool over.

Picked up this nice Bill Carrigan T204 Ramly today.

Thanks to Don H.

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.

Thanks Dan!

I think this was a tough one...

It's almost inconceivable to find a T205 that centered. Where are you finding these?

Thanks Sam my man. I am always on the lookout for well centered copies to upgrade to or to fill a (still very large hole) in my collection. After recent pickups I think I am around +/- 85 in total of the 208 base set.
There was a spate of ebay auctions last night which this came from....all I chose had pretty decent centering or colors etc....here are some more of them....and they were all below my max bids, some well below.

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?

[GregMitch34]

top one graded....my only other has been a gorgeous Grove auth, very slightly trimmed, which I will now sell, if anyone's interested....
