April Pick Up Thread

[t206kid]

Big one off my list

[CobbSpikedMe]

Very nice EPDG Cobb Jay!

Not to out do you or anything, but here are my recent incomings. For all of you high grade snobs out there (Relax, notice the sarcastic smiley...I got love for all cards ). I know there are a lot of lower grade collectors on the board who don't share their pick ups since most people aren't showing off cards like these, so I'm posting these on their behalf. Anyway, here you go...

I like how the (original?) previous owner of your McLean finished the set!

[Rhotchkiss]

Very nice Andy and Jay. Jay, are you going for a back run?

[whaler]

Thanks, Patrick! That makes 56 T212 Obaks now.

I feel better about owning 4 John Tiedeman 1911 Obaks when I see your hoard!

Hey Steve,

I can only hope I can finish the set like he did. The McLean is actually a really nice card but for the writing on the back. It's quite clean and presentable.

I don’t know if we are allowed to post football cards in the pickup section but I’ve been after an uncut Bazooka box (baseball or football) and picked this up. I think these uncut boxes are really cool pieces.

[Rascal1010]

I have not posted any pickup's to this section in quite awhile, mostly because I have had a tough time picking anything up for my Cubs collection. It has gotten really slow when your hunting factory 25 backs (I'm just glad these 350/25 backs don't carry the premium of the AB & Cycle backs, even though they are a lot rarer back in some cases). With being stuck at home working the last couple of weeks, the stars really aligned, and I was able to locate up some cards I have been hunting for a long time (1st Steinfeldt 350/25 I've seen in 7 years)! Also picked up a couple tougher backs of Moran & Kroh to go with my factory 25's.

EDDIE GRANT - Newest addition to my growing set only a few higher dollar cards left then just commons to go for basic set

[charlietheexterminator]

Awesome pick ups by all. I let this guy go and he found his way back home, thanks to Andy “Ahumes13”

[Rhotchkiss]

Nice blank back Chuck. Here is another blank back, of sorts.

You don't see these every day. This is my first Ebay pick-up in many months.

[ahumes13]

Nice one Chuck! And another nice pickup Ryan!

[ledsters]

Congratulations Andrew on that outstanding T204 Ramly Walter Johnson. Great card!

Wow! As a cubs card collector. Nice Cards!

Thoughts from anyone. Does date seem generally correct? Thanks in advance

[yanksfan09]

Great E107 Lajoie!

[Andrew1975]

Thanks, Kevin!

Ryan, the E107 Lajoie is a great pickup.

[GregZakwin]

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up another John Tiedeman 1911 Obak!

Probably my favorite card in the set.

Patrick

[RCMcKenzie]

Some OJ's from the BST. Thanks, Kris

Humorous story about Freeman 171-5. A number of years ago I bought what I thought was a proof of 171-5 and it was explained to me that it was a repro, homemade, fantasy-type piece. I sent it back, and got a refund. Years later, I posted the scan again on here as "One of my favorite 19th images." Once again, it was pointed out to me that the card was not legit, and I realized that I didn't even have it anymore. I do think this n172 is good, so there you have it...

[JLange]

Happy to add this May 16th 1909 Supplement to the North American Magazine to my collection. This is a little outside of my Cleveland collecting wheelhouse, in that it shows the 1909 Lancaster Red Roses Baseball team, but I was drawn to the early image of HOF pitcher and Cleveland Great Stan Coveleski pictured 2nd from top right.

The supplement measures approximately 11" x 14" and is affixed to a thin wooden frame with tape and staples. It may have been trimmed to fit the frame.

If anyone has any suggestions on removing tape and staples, let me know!

[Jobu]

This Milwaukee boy loves the pair of Freemans!!

Thanks, Bryan. I will probably forget again in a few years and post the Freeman proof scan in a "What are your favorite N173's?" thread.

Nice, Lancaster piece. I would probably leave it just as it is, looks great...Rob

Very nice pick-up. I remember seeing this on eBay and completely passing it up without taking a closer look. This is even on my personal HOF "earliest" checklist. Duh! and...DOH! Nice pre-rookie Stan Coveleski find!

[mybuddyinc]

Although good ol' Bunk is as common a common that commons can come , his back as alluded me for over 4 years ............

Fun, fun, Scott

[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

[charlietheexterminator]

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.

[GregZakwin]

[gabrinus]

Craig look likes Schwartwood may have some radiation in his pocket...be careful...Steve, nice Jacklitsch...can't remember if I have seen a blue back or not...my checklist doesn't list the one I had as blue...Jerry

Steve, that blue definitely pops more than in the original listing. Glad to see you were able to get it.

[chlankf]

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

Includes a November Crossover lot from PSA, so the wheels are indeed turning there, if very slowly...

[t206fanatic]

A big one off the list!

[njdunkin1]

a beauty jeff!

[Andrew1975]

Congrats, great card!

Great card, Jeff, congratulations on landing that one.

[Rhotchkiss]

Mazel Jeff! Thanks a F-ing beast of a pickup (and a solid price). You are part of a very small club with that sucker.

[Brian Van Horn]

[Rhotchkiss]

That’s awesome Brian. I have never seen that back (not that I follow those 1920-22 cards too close). What other players come with that back?

[Jcfowler6]

Fun pick up via trade with a fellow board member.

Thank you, Ryan. Awesome pickups by you!

Well, at least Adams, Barber, Lyle Bigbee, Cobb, DeVormer, Falk, Flack, Gaston, Gharrity, Glazner, Griffith, Hollocher, Martin, Oeschger, Pratt, Rawlings, Rogers, Ruel, Scott and Elmer Smith. Those are the other twenty that were in REA beyond the Ward I won. I also previously had a Walker.

[GregZakwin]

[ahumes13]

Great cards everyone! I struck out on a few of the bigger items I was stalking in Heritage and REA, but managed to pick up a needed Bresnahan CJ last night, and have added a few other needed Cubs this month, as well as a Glasscock OJ from a board member.

Love the color on this one!

[Ryno447]

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:
