August pickups

[rustywilly]

The W600 Wagner looks even better in person....congrats Brian!!!

Here are my three baseball pickups from the National:



Gehrig has some light creasing from left to right, only visible on the reverse. If you cover the label and hold it 12 inches away it looks EX+.



The W519 Robinson is an upgrade from a PSA-Authentic (cut too short). Been searching for a nicer example for 5+ years. Picked raw and graded at show. Thanks Dan, missed your dad. Please say hello.



Thanks Richard

Is the back of the double named Rucker miscut card centered? If it was miscut wouldn't the back be off center also?

[Brian Van Horn]

I love flea markets. Just picked up this Frankenstein:

Thanks to all those who have helped!

Great p/u's Barry. You really paid an arm and leg for that Easterly!

[btkpath]

Thanks Steve......I hope I didn't twist your arm too much!

You didn't do badly yourself this month.

Picked up this bold Chuck Dressen signed Kashin.

[mrvster]

My Goodwin Auction winnings arrived...

[Big Six]

so I figured picking up a Diamond Star would boost my spirits...got "Earnie" at a VERY reasonable price...back is clean, too!



I'm making pretty solid progress on the Hall of Famers in this set...now if only I could find some source photos that these cards were based on.

#2 for me from the N162 set - I hope this doesn't mean that I have to start collecting the set now!

I have always loved this card...it is on the short list of cards I have no business owning but want.

Nice cards

[daves_resale_shop]

got this one back from my framer yesterday... as always very happy with the result... the photo is of the 1909 new orleans team with a very young Joe Jackson... the photo was actually cut out of a 1910 reach magazine... the guy who does all my framing and matting actually pointed out something interesting to me: all of the players have clean white sox, where Joe's appeared to be extremely soiled, and almost "Black" extreme coincidence or spookiness???

[daves_resale_shop]

Also managed to pick up the matty endpanel that I have been after for awhile... still looking for an upgrade, so if anyone has one let me know!

Thanks!

tough to keep the sox clean when you play baseball shoeless!

[Mikehealer]

Thanks Nate.

Sunday night, I get a call from my friend. He's at a guy's house and he tells me the guy has a sick baseball card collection. I'm thinking he's got mid-1990s Upper Deck or something. The guy says he's got some Wagner cards. I was like, sure buddy. Maybe 1992 Conlons or something. But then he says the magic word.... "Dockman". He also had a beater E95 Wags. I picked them both up, and had them graded tonight on-site at the White Plains show. I am VERY happy with these.

How often does your friend call you to tell you about a couple of Wagners he found??!!

[CobbSpikedMe]

T206Collector -

That is a great story and what a Dockman! That thing is beautiful man.

Thanks,

AndyH

[wonkaticket]

Wagner, himself, is more likely to call me......

[old-baseball]

Pick these up earlier in August. Just got them back from being graded.

That Dockman Wagner is frickin' beautiful! Nice card!

Not really a pickup in the traditional sense but I recreated the original collage which I picked up a few months ago. The external 'boxed' players were beyond recognition but the cutouts came from the N172 OJ's. Most of the player poses are identical with a few exceptions and I even included the name cards. Each player was on the 1888 Baltimore B.B. Club except for Quinn who played for them in 1889. This was a fun project especially given the fact that the original was beyond restoration. I will likely make a double sided frame to showcase the original and the new one together. I think the last time I put together a collage was about 30 years ago

After initially striking out at the National, August turned out to be a very good month for me.
The borders on the Cobby are nice and bright and the Risberg is one more W514 Black Sox I needed (only Weaver and Gandil still needed).
