National Pick-Ups

Nice cards Mike!

[GaryPassamonte]

Very happy with these two.

No scans right now but I was able to pick up a beauty of a t206 freak. A Bresnahan batting in vg+ with his image and name on the back, plus it has a full crop mark in the bottom right corner! $100

Got a rare OJ card too thanks to Dan McKee loaning me $20 because I decided to come down here poor. Sterling $100

Buy cards from Dan! Great guy!


Saw Leon, he didn't want to talk to me, that was awkward, wish I knew what he was driving, I would've flattened a tire then stood there and not talked to him while he waited to get it fixed

Here is a bad camera phone pic of it

I love these Shutter Johnsons. Thanks Bagger!

Hi-
This was my first time at the national and I thought it was an excellent show. I am sorry I could not meet more board members, but those I did, (like Ted Z, Brett, Kjavic, Marty K, BigFish, Mghpro and others) I very much enjoyed seeing.
Coming from MA, I drove down with the purpose of selling some cards, and a large group of memorabilia. I sold almost everything I had, which usually does not happen for me even at large regional shows. The kicker was that my largest sale was to a dealer from Massachusetts! The items I sold I consider my excess from the last 6 months of agressive flea market and antique shopping (including a very successful Brimfield last month). My biggest problem was that I had very little time to go shopping! Thus, my only pickups were a M101-2 Jake Stahl early Thursday morning (in rough shape but really cheap) and the German stamps below. I like that the Lajoie is on an intact strip and I really like the two different Leach stamps. The original price tag was way too high but the dealer came down 45.00 when he accepted my offer Friday afternoon as I was leaving.
I am already looking forward to Chicago (but I doubt I will drive). Amazing pickups from everyone so far. Gary, the photos are incredible!

Thanks, Brian T., for parting with this. I know it wasn't easy.

Dang - I looked at that Sterling OJ and thought he was a tougher player but I didn't trust myself enough to pull the trigger! Nice pickup John!

[z28jd]

Sorry Chris, yes it is a very tough OJ to find. I think off-hand only one has been graded and I used to own it but I sold it to a friend. Wanted another since I got rid of it and paid a very small fraction of the price

[Gradedcardman]

Z, i've been there myself, awkward for sure.

My first Cobb T202



Not sure why i bought this. Seemed like a really nice card for the grade and thought the price was good. My first and only Cracker Jack
