December Pickup Thread

[scotty21690]

I got this beauty in the mail today...was it any fellow board members who came in second on this one? (and made me pay an arm and a leg?! )


Anyways here it is....just need two more for the Red Sox team set. (Anyone know where I can find a raw beat up T3 Speaker???)

[quinnsryche]

Here's 4 more for Dec.

[ullmandds]

I just received this pre Korean war card of Ted Williams that I have selected for my HOF stable...I love this pose! That red hindu Chase kicks ass!!!

[jp1216]

Been looking for this one for some time (with a minimum grade of 5 and in my price range). V300 delivered from Canada.

Holy smokes, Jeff - beauty!!

From Autographed T206

[calvindog]

Trae, Matt, Daryl, Pete -- thanks. I love this card, probably my third favorite pickup of the year.

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Robert:

[Robextend]

My first Obak and Fatima cards...

Both from fellow board members...thanks guys!!

[kkkkandp]

N172 Kansas City Blue player. Thanks, Dave!

[SethY]

I'll get a better scan when it is in and when my computer is back from getting fixed. I couldn't pass this up for $45!!

[Rob D.]

I felt fortunate to snag this one via a BIN on eBay before the world's leading collector of ultra high rare (sic) type cards saw it. The fact that this card once was in a Goodwin & Co. auction makes it all that more special.

In all seriousness, I didn't foresee adding any Lajoies to the brood this year, so finding a D304 Brunners, despite the off condition, was an early Christmas present.

[chaddurbin]

cool rob, if you binned it during the bing 20% would've been even sweeter! i was looking for that cardduring that period but it was gone, prolly wasn't motivated enough but glad it went to someone who'd appreciate it.

Kevin,
Nice OJ.

Recent pick-ups...

Hard to find T330-2 McGraw and W517 Gehrig (Red)



1935 R309-2 Boston Red Sox



McGraw/Mathewson blotter

[Jason Carota]

Great Red Sox R309, docpatlv! That one is on my want list for 2010.

[docpatlv]

Thanks Jason,

They don't show up too often as this is the first time I had seen the Boston team in person. I had seen the other two previously. Good luck in your quest and if I see another I will let you know.

Mike

[frohme]

OK ... not Pittsburgh and slightly O/T as they're all Chinese themed, but for < $1, I couldn't pass it up ...



mostly because these guys needed a drab friend.



.... they'll have to suffice for the real thing.

Happy Holidays to all.

Neat array of pick-ups, Doc Mike. This photo was at auction a year or two ago, might have been Henry Yee but not sure, in case you hadn't seen the image. (I was not the winning bidder but I saved the jpeg; great picture of Muggsy and Matty).

[docpatlv]

David,

Thanks for showing that picture, I haven't seen it before. By the way, it's available if you're willing to give up your Falk cabinet Matty yet (That's my favorite Matty piece!)

[SethY]

Got this from a fellow board member in the B/S/T. This will probably be sent off for grading sometime soon. My first Cycle back! I got a new computer and the scanner is working again so I will be posting some AWESOME pickups in the coming days. Looking at the SGC pop report, there are no Cycle backs graded. This could be a pretty rare one!

[Jason Carota]

Huge thank you to scotty21690 for the Stahl for Stahl trade!

[Robextend]

Gehringer was from a fellow board member. Great looking card...

A couple of recent acquisitions for my fledgling type set: an E135 and a W502...

[cfc1909]

I love the red Hindu Chase...

[cfc1909]

I believe that this is the earliest professional baseball collectible picturing Enos Slaughter.

Thanks, Rhys

[Mikehealer]

Two more Meyers portraits.

[ChiefBenderForever]

Nice Meyers Mike you gotta love the T213 and that AB is sweet !!! Here is my 5th Bender portrait back !! Sweet Caporal 150 factory 25 !!! Just arrived today !!

[cdn_collector]

Man, Johnny...You seem to be making some pretty good progress on that Bender collection as of late. Do you have an album of them online somewhere?

Regards,

Richard.

[soxinseven]

Recently back from SGC. I was very happy to get this card.......

[scotty21690]

Very jealous of that one, Steven!


One of my goals for 2010 is to purchase a Joe Wood vintage card [Red Sox uni only].

EDIT: You live in New Salem?? I live about ten minutes away in Athol.

Nice pickups, everyone.

Steven:

If you ever get bored with the Wood, feel free to send it my way.


Managed to land my first Massachusetts born N172 player:

[Abravefan11]

Thanks to fellow board members Scott and Val for these two.

[Abravefan11]

One more that just came in the mail.

[ChiefBenderForever]

Hey Richards just saw your question no I don't have any website of my Benders but hopefully next year will get something together. Tim you miners Bender is really sick, very very nice card !!

[cbcbcb]

That Bender is beautiful, why such a low grade?

[Abravefan11]

[calvindog]

Did someone say they had a card of Mort? David, I'll offer you ten gazillion dollars for it!

[pete zouras]

[SethY]

This finally came in! Here is a better looking scan.

[leftygrove10]

Nice card, Seth. I really like that one!

[Robextend]

But I'd thought it would be neat to share here:

[BlueDevil89]

I'll toss in a couple under the wire to help close out '09...



Happy New Year to All !
