January Pickups

[MBMiller25]

Derek, That 46 Sears Postcard is a great piece! Congrats on picking up that Schoendienst. Musial has a postcard as well. I have been looking for one since 2008. That Musial postcard is my HOLY Grail Musial piece.

Congrats again, I was super excited when I came to this page and saw that postcard.

Thx Matt #1, Phil, St. Louis guy, and Matt #2. I'd hate to be in a bidding war for a Musial Sears PC if Matt #2 is in the running!! LOL...but I would be ready to duke it out. It's high on my want list as well (I'd replace my Musial avatar for a new one)!

Now that's a card image I have NEVER seen (a '46 Musial Sears PC). If anyone has a scan, I'd love to see one.

Derek:

I have seen one in an old auction catalogue but the image was extremely small. One of the major auction houses but many years ago, before we started our HOF RC collections.

i was doing a look on Stan the man.....well there is a propoaganda on Ebay right now..think it was graded 1.5 PSA and one in Goodwin auction SGC 30/2
What is so odd, i could not find a pic of this 1946 Sears postcard
I just learned something new here: (from the CU board)
PS there are 11 Musial cards made before 1948 (7 if you dont count premiums)

1943 M114
1946 Propaganda Montiel
1946 Sears
1946 W603 Sports Exchange
1946-47 Sensacion Premiums
1947 W602 Sports Exchange mini
1947 Exhibit Supply Co. ("MADE IN USA" kneeling pose was only made this year)
1947 D305 (round corners)
1947 W571-3 Hess Shoes
1947 Bond Bread Premiums
1947 W571-2 Bond Bread Exhibit

I have long preferred the Propagandas Mont to the 1948 Blandman, I mean Bowman! The 48 Leaf is awesome though with those bold colors.

I have the M114 and the 1946 Montiel (same image used on both cards). My Montiel is also my avatar.

Phil, was the Sears Musial the same image as those two cards or a portrait shot? I would assume portrait shot, consistent with the other Sears PCs I've seen. My Red S. was one of many for sale a few weeks ago on eBay. I wonder if he had a Musial??

Derek:

I think it was a portrait, definitely not the M114 image.

It's a portrait, consistent with the other Sears postcards. The seller did not have the Musial.

Matt, the Sports Exchange are pretty cool looking Musial's as well if you like the PM. There was a PSA 9 auctioned off by ML a few years ago. I still have no idea why I didn't bid more. That was definately a stupid move by me. One of many I might add.
