September Pick Ups

[brianp-beme]

I like to start off monthly pick up threads slow, so they have the chance to build up momentum. Here is a nice looking card from the BST $1 starting bid auction section offered by LuckyLarry that just came in...a 1929 R316 Kashin of Mark Koenig.

Picked this up in Leland’s. I didn’t have any M116s but this card just seemed so amazing. Some of the cards in this set are really beautiful. No idea why it’s a 4.5, PSA is really nuts sometimes. Would have been an 8 a decade ago.

WOW! That just POPS! Nice pick-up

[JJ McGraw]

Snagged my first Neilson Chocolates card today. Love the back script!

[sbfinley]

Buzz Arlett. In my opinion he is (121 MLB Games - 469 PA) the player with the shortest MLB career who one could make a fair argument for the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Phil & Jay, those are some sensational E94's. What a group.....

Many thanks to a fellow board member for this beauty! A b/s/t transaction!

Cool card. Funnily enough I also have one of these in an SGC 4.5.

Happy to have survived the recent E94 bloodbath hosted by REA and come away with a few upgrades.

Damn, those are some nice E94s.

[Scott L.]

Happy to add this combo to my T206 off back collection. I'm at 689 total cards with very few dupes.

[JJ McGraw]

September is off to a good start….

Phil, those are beautiful E94s. Nice pickups!

Yes, very nice E94’s.

I don’t follow auctions, why was it a “bloodbath”?

I knew someone would come along and obliterate my R316 Koenig pickup...congrats Phil on such unworldly E94 cards. Paul's M116 Collins is pretty special too.

Brian

[ValKehl]

Phil, those E94s aren't too shabby!

[t206kid]

My highlights from the REA E94 bloodbath. Will be a long time until we see E94s like these again.

[Casey2296]

Fantastic pick ups Jay, congrats.

Congrats, Phil!

[Scottypop]

Sometimes pretty things distract me from The Monster..

[mordecaibrown1]

Well was able to get at least one e94 from the REA auction. Or, as it's been called bloodbath. But did get this Matty as well.

[Casey2296]

Wow Sam, nice pick-ups. love that Matty.

[Bicem]

Nice Matty!

[NYYFan63]

A nice T206 Cobb Green portrait is incoming…

These are eye appeal upgrades.

[Leon]

Our forum members look like they are having a great month picking wonderful cards up.

This was a National pick up that didn't make the thread show yet...

[molenick]

From the last Huggins & Scott auction. Glad to come away with one card I needed, some of the prices were pretty strong, I presume because of the front/back combinations. A PSA 8 #83 Paul Waner with a blue back went for $7800 while a PSA 8 with a green back went for $1050 in April.

I do collect front variations (e.g., Greenberg/Greenburg) but not the same front with different back color and year combinations. It's hard enough getting one of each card!

[Leon]

A collector can never have too many Kottons. This one back from my first collection.

[bcbgcbrcb]

How bad was the buyback Leon? 3X?

[ramram]

I’m not a graded card collector but always wanted this particular Mantle. To my untrained eye though, this card seems much better than its grade. Any idea what brought it down?

Nice card!! What's with the ink or print dot on right side back?? Perhaps that's the deduction in grade?

That's kind of what I wondered....if that dot was substantial enough to bring it down.

Rob

[nolemmings]

Is that a print dot or maybe a piece of the gasket overlapping the card, which sometimes happens with SGC?

Same color, but it does appear to be just a print dot.

I love the 56 card. Yours is very nice for the grade. Top to bottom centering and maybe some surface wear & touched corners brought it down a bit. Who knows. Yours has great eye appeal. Congrats on the purchase!!

Thanks Brian. I leaned into the eye appeal as well.

Andy,
That’s an awesome Rube notebook cover! I really love the look of those and that one of the most eye catching ones I’ve ever seen. I’m going to have to break down and get one at some point. Throat would look great on the shelf.
Congrats,
Bob

[Brent G.]

I'd been waiting for this card to pop up on Net54 for about a year — many thanks to David for helping me bring it home!

This beauty arrived yesterday. This is my first 51 Bowman Mays…

Great looking Mays! So hard to find without the print marks, fisheyes, etc. Congratulations.

[DeanH3]

Thanks Phil and Brian.

Yeah, Matty had definitely declined when this card was issued. Sure glad they used the photo they did. Made for an instant classic.

Also tough to find centered like that!

That's a clean Mays! Proof that one doesn't need to pay the higher grade "premium" to get a beautiful card. I'll bet that this looks better than a lot in higher grades. Congrats!

................ I needed this card like I needed a hole in the head ..... ...... I just like redemption punches ...... ...... Hopefully a kid got a free candy bar ....................
