August Autograph Pickups

[Lordstan]

Wow with so many National threads, the August pick up thread is getting no love.
Well...Let me change that a little!!
I am soooooo psyched to post my newest addition.
This is card 73 of 96 for my 1934 goudey signed set.

Hank Greenberg rookie!!!



I paid a pretty penny, but am very happy. The card's condition isn't great, but the sig is clear and vintage fountain pen.

So cool.

Posted this in other treads but this is signed on front and back by Chief. Was made out to Mary who was Zach Wheats daughter and had some interesting content talking about World Series.

Great pickup Mark!
Your collection of goudeys is just outstanding. I always enjoy seeing that you've picked up another new one.

Picked up this nice 1929 signed Kashin of Chuck Dressen. Tough signature as he died in 1966.

[RichardSimon]

I got this from the grandson of the player it was given to.

[MacDice]

These two were upgrades for my 1957 set which now sits at 309 (118 deceased signatures, 51 signed HOF cards – including Ford Frick winners and team cards).

[HRBAKER]

Admittedly not vintage, I started this sheet ttm in 1993 securing Baylor, West and Cowens. By the time I got around to getting Havlicek he had stopped signing thru the mail. I sat it aside intending to send it to a show. I rediscovered it and the second Cardinals sheet when being unpacked after last year's move to Kansas. Fast forward 19 years to Baltimore, I completed these by paying through the nose for Havlicek and Brock.

[HOF Auto Rookies]

Picked up some high/mid grade signed rookies of Fisk, Fingers and Bench.

Great Pickup Mark.. I love the signed goudeys.

Below is a signed ck I picked up this month. Dual signed during Ruth's playing days with the yanks with TWO tough sig variations. It was from the Walsh estate(Christy also signed it).

If you're going to own one, that one is extra special. Congrats on your purchase!

Beautiful! I have never seen him write out Herman before, makes it even better.

Damn!!!!
Ben,
That is crazy! Special on so many levels.
Twice signed, Full name signed, Geo H Babe Ruth signature, which is a very very uncommon variation of his signature, Walsh signed, and being a check with provenance from Walsh family has no doubt of authenticity.
Congrats on a superb pickup.
How are you going to display it?
Thanks about the Goudey. My set is moving along slowly but surely. It may take a while, but I think I'll get there.

Wayne,
Congrats on the Gehrig. That is a fantastic item. I love those postcards.

Best,
Mark

[HOF Auto Rookies]

Thanks Mark! Yeah it's in pretty good shape, and I got it for a very good price I believe.

[Forever Young]

Thanks Guys.. I am happy that I was able to add this one.

Mark.. not sure how I display yet but most likely with a TYPE 1 photo.. I just don't know how to swing the two side thing.. any ideas??

Ben,
I'm obviously not Mark, but...
I would consider using glass on the back side of the frame.
That check is too special to hide, if you know what I mean...

Hey Scott... I know what you mean but I will still have to take it off the wall to view it. My Jim Morrison ck is framed like that.. it is cool. I was just wondering if anyone else had some other creative way to display a double sided piece. Nice to meet you at the national btw.

[thenavarro]

That Ruth check is pretty sweet. Congrats on the pickup. These pickup threads are some of my favorite things on the board. It's fun to see what people drum up to add to their collections
