Cool WST

[packs]

Post this in the July thread before I realized there was an August one:

I have no idea what the date of issue for this is but I absolutely could not pass up this Harry Coveleskie card when I saw it pop up on eBay. Such a cool piece for the "Giant Killer" and signed on the back too:

Obviously it has it's issues, but still thrilled to pick up this iconic card within my budget.

Pretty appropriate 1887th post. Added this to my Nash run at the NSCC. Thank you Glenn. Turns out I need the other pose if still available!

Beauty Scott. I agree the WST is pretty neat

[T_Hamilton]

Picked this up last night. Since April have have picked up 23 1914 CJs in the quest to build the set.

Here you go dan. Congrats on a true hobby classic.

Not much here and surely not much compared to others with your T206s, etc. But here's my pickups. The McCovey was in a $1 box at a show this weekend, so it wasn't technically August. But close enough.

Thinking about sending the Banks and Mantle to PSA. Just don't know if I want to do the $20 or whatever just for 2 cards. Anyway, here's the goods....

[swarmee]

You could send in the Banks and Mantle on Bobby's group submission for cheaper than you could do it yourself.

[wdwfan]

I'm really hesitant to send off with someone I don't know and have never dealt with.

Thanks Orlando! I did what I usually do and created an eBay listing to orientate the pics correctly and then save he pics from the listing, but for whatever reason they still came up horizontal this time. I'm sure there's an easier and more effective way to do it but that's always worked for me until now. Thanks for the comment as well. I had to purchase something to help make up for missing out on that CJ Cobb 😢

[njdunkin1]

Went in as a fresh and new National-ie. The sights (1.2million dollar cards afoot), sounds (lots of chatting and sports talk), and even smells (cafeteria food and body odor) made it all a fantastic experience.

I asked every dealer I saw with vintage if they had any Johnny Klings. I would say at least 49 out of every 50 tables said they had none, because the only two folks who had Klings, I bought from! :].

First is the 2.5--got a very generous deal on this from the dealer. I am very happy with the corners on this card and overall appeal--doesn't get much better for a 2.5!



This one was a duplicate, but I couldn't pass it up for the price:



This makes 7 (I think) for the Kling back run, with a few more possibly on the way over the course of the next week.

Great pickups!

Please let me know if that red Chance is available!

Thanks! It all depends on the amount of glue on the cards. I would hate to remove something that's been there 100 years.

[DeanH3]

August is off to a great start. Nice pick ups guys.

Greg - That Gehrig painting is way cool!

[jbl79]

I agree with Dean, that's a very cool painting. Makes me think what a Diamond Stars Gehrig would've looked like.

[Beansballcardblog]

I don't know the going rate for the Kling raw, but it's nice to see that there are some oldies at the national that are affordable. It gives me hope!

Still chipping away on the entire T210 set, at least I am only one orange border away from that subset.
Thanks to Sterling Auctions (Lee B.) for making these available. Tough to find in any condition.

Big month for me so far. Unfortunately I'm broke and this will likely be it for a while

That's a great way to go broke! Nice card.

[TheKid41]

I picked up a very nice for the grade Wahoo Crawford Cracker Jack.

Are these pictures showing up for anyone else? I'm guessing they were the scrapbook pages that were for sale on eBay. Was wondering who got them; did you have any inside information (based on the player selection) that there have to be some rare backs?

Great card Mike! I was planning to bid on that one before the T205 Cobb and N162 Anson happened

Exactly what I was going to say!

Why is that card a 2? Paper loss on the back or something we can't see in the scan?

Very nice card either way!

Fun stuff, Scott

[Sean]

Nice pick up Scott.

[Rhotchkiss]

One less card on my bucket list. Very excited to get a hold of this and made a great contact out of the the seller -- sometimes the contacts/friends we make buying and selling is better than the card we buy/sell.

[Sean]

Excellent acquisition Ryan. And it's nice that you made a new friend. It sort of makes up for some of the a_ _ holes that we come across in this hobby.

I was only able to see a couple backs and they were Sweet Caporal. The cards are in rather nice shape but they used an awful lot of glue edge to edge. There going to make nice displays.

I can see mine and Ryan's Lajoie but cant see mybuddyinc's. I used the net54 image hosting, is anyone else having problems?

181 is my favorite Goudey Ruth. That one presents very nicely. Great pickup!

[pherbener]

Very cool pickup Ryan!!

[Rhotchkiss]

Sean and Paul, thanks for the shout out

[clydepepper]

My first pre-war pick-up in a while:

HONUS WAGNER 1906 FAN CRAZE - PSA-8.jpg

My shopping list is now down to four:

Kalamazoo Bats - Denny Lyons
Sporting Life - Walter Johnson
Sporting Life - Honus Wagner
Sporting Life - Smoky Joe Wood

[Piratedogcardshows]

This pickup has dirty joke potential but sometimes its best to leave some things unsaid Happy to add another tough Wilson card. Thanks Mike!

I have also been having problems with pictures. If you right click on the little bar thing or the broken picture symbol you can see them on a new page once you log in again. I just figure it is some new software that makes people log in again to make it look like there are more people logging in than there really is.

Can't thank Greg enough for making this possible (and Luke for pairing us up) !!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun, fun, Scott

[LuckyLarry]

I remember back in 1991 we were talking Old Baseball Cards on the Prodigy bulletin boards. Someone posted looking for cards of a relative who played baseball in the late 1800s, Doc Bushong. I don't know why I remembered this, but I can still picture that Scrapps tobacco card someone posted about.

Thursday at the National, I visited Net54 member Taxmechanicks' (Glenn) table, and picked up an 1887 Buchner Gold Coin card of Doc Bushong. Leaving behind that Scrapps tobacco card of Bushong that I still remembered. I think my reason for choosing the Buchner Gold Coin card was #1 it was older #2 I liked his picture in the catchers gear.

Back at the hotel Thursday night, I regretted not purchasing the Scrapps tobacco card, and planned on hitting up Glenns table first thing Friday to purchase the Bushong card I left behind. Thankfully it was still available.

So now I collect Doc Bushong!
Doc Bushong wantlist
1887 Lone Jack N370
1887 Old Judge Cabinet N173
1887 Old Judge N172 (Brooklyn)
1887 Old Judge N172 (Browns Champ)
1888 Sporting Times M117
