I am hoping this is a busy month of pick-ups for me. I ended March with these, but they arrive tmrw, so we’ll call them April pick-ups

[Luke]

Probably my last big pickup of the year, but very happy to add a big one to the collection:

[nineunder71]

You’re Funny Luke, Haha, that will probably fool a lot of folks, but maybe not around here

Hope all is well!!

[ValKehl]

Wowsers, Ryan & Luke! Your acts will be tough to follow for the rest of this month, assuming your pickups aren't April Fool's jokes! CONGRATS!

[BabyRuth]

Luke is much more clever than I - mine are real.

[Luke]

Mine isn't completely unreal. I actually own the card. It's just that it was made from two halves of different cards. I think based on the WST on the back it's possible the back once belonged to a William O'Neil Broad Leaf 350. I've been meaning to have Erick S. look at it and help me confirm.

Picked up another E98 HOFer recently. Very happy to have another. Funny that all my E98s are either green or red. I didn't try to do that, but just haven't picked up any blue or orange yet. Are those two more difficult background colors for this set?

Of course, it's my typical low grade example.

Thanks...

Andy I put together an E98 set a few years ago and looking at my checklist I had 8 orange and 6 blue...just depends...Jerry

Ryan, Awesome Card!

First postcard I've purchased. The stamp on the back got my attention. Couldn't pass on the 35 Goudey 4 In 1 with Bill Terry. I've always admired the 54 Red Heart Duke Snider.

[Andrew1975]

Really happy to add this Ramly Walter Johnson to my collection. Has been high on my want list for a long time...

Beautiful Johnson Andrew!.....That just sounded weird, sorry about that.

Great pick up though, seriously.

[Andrew1975]

Haha, thanks Andy!

I picked up this little cutie pie to add to my T213-2 set. It is pretty rough, and the back makes me wonder if it has been soaked, not that it matters to me. I'm just happy that I was able to get it.

[Bicem]

Great Wajo!

[KaiserCurt]

Picked up my first T206 and the inaugural piece to my Washington Senators player set! Distant Distant relative of Unglaub and through researching his life came upon his and other T206 cards. I think it’s pretty neat! I don’t know how to attach images yet so I’ll just link the auction I won it at. https://www.ebay.com/vod/FetchOrderD...ransactionId=0

Edit: attach spelling

Southern League Brown Hindu, thanks to net54 member Doug (dougscats)

[chlankf]

Thanks to fellow board members Kris19 for reaching out to me before listing. Terrific addition to my Des Moines OJ collection.

[Joe_G.]

Nice card Craig . . . most Des Moines OJs are 1889 (Fc) with the 1888s being pretty special. Most 1888s are the very tough Fb style, Swartwood being the only Des Moines player as type Fa (nice misspelling to boot). The fact that it is a team update may be responsible for format difference from the other 1888 Des Moines cards.

[brass_rat]

Nice cards, everyone -- thanks for sharing.

I'm happy to have picked this one up...I haven't seen another blue back example yet.

[chlankf]

As always, Joe you are a wealth of knowledge. This is my 2nd pose for him.

Postcard from Cobb to a fan that wrote to him regarding the scandal he was named in with Tris Speaker and Dutch Leonard.

Three obvious flaws, but I liked Hoffman's belt:

Starting on re-collecting some good old Joe Jackson Cards

This is my first and will look for others in the future

[Vintagecatcher]

Excited to upgrade my Gowdy T207. It's one of the tougher Recruit back T207s. Have one from each of the two Recruit factories now.

THAT is pretty cool.

He must have been getting a lot of letters in regards to the scandal to have created a "form" response.

Thanks Doug. I would agree that he he got a lot of letters and created this card in response. First time I have seen a card like this.

Thanks to Luke for these big bordered beauties!

Currently looking for a new T206 Cobb and a low grade N28 or N172, but even if I snag them, the T207 Grover Hartley Anonymous back will be my big pickup this month, and on of the biggest pickups I'll have this year.

Grover Hartley was the manager of the Findlay Oilers (Ohio State League - minors) in 1939 & 1940. My great uncle played for the Oilers in 1939, and my grandpa played for them in 1940. I have my grandpa's original team photo (with Hartley in it), contract, and last ball he pitched (1940). My goal is to put those items in a display with all of Hartley's cards (according to Trading Card Database, I'm only missing his 1916 Boston Store, Weil Baking Co., and Standard Biscuit). The Anonymous back T207 completed his trio of T207s. Thrilled to have these together!





I have also had quite the month when it comes to knocking out some of my Hall of Fame project.

[Bill77]

Just got my 1st Babe Ruth item. The M114 portrait.

[KMayUSA6060]

Some well-loved 1923 V100 Willard's Chocolates HoFers for the HoF project. Thanks Derek!

You’re welcome! Can’t wait to see how your HOF collection looks once complete (or near complete). I’m still sorta working on mine after 20+ years!

[t206kid]

This spoke to me

I'm sure that card peaks to a lot of people! I'm no longer into cards that much and this one speaks to me too.

Nice pickup

[Ryno447]

Got this one in the other day:

[yanksfan09]

Nice Shonen Ruth, definitely a great way to get an attractive playing days Ruth for a cheaper price!

Nice Cobb/Jennings!

[Andrew1975]

Great card.
