April Pickups

[tbob]

Thanks David for another nice E99. Not a floating head this time but it helps me to the finish line in this set. Someone asked about how many "floating heads" there were, off the top of my head there are just the Melchior and McArdle I picked up, along with the Mohler.

Nice Mattys Jimi! You working on a back run?

Who knows? For now I stuck one in my type-card collection and the other in my HOF Collection.

Very nice card, thank you for sharing. I think that is the first print offset Ruth I have seen.

[MVSNYC]

Thanks to Johnny (and Erick) for a fun trade! I've been trying to get this card for quite some time, so I'm thrilled to finally have it. One of my best examples now.

[wonkaticket]

Another card for my type set...

[MVSNYC]

Thanks John & Johnny! It's fun building this miscut collection, although they're not easy to pry away from collectors.

[mrvster]

you deserved that card

[Koufax32fan]

Thanks to Tony from monster.com - good to see you in St. Louis. ((I have no idea why the Steinfeldt is so much larger in the posting.)

Nice ones Brad. Im surprised Mr. Ruth was graded...so many reprints out there.

[pencil1974]

Thanks Derek. I was as a bit shocked as well as this is my 7th or 8th one that I have picked up and chalked it as being a reprint too since all the others had come back that way. I even told the seller that I was pretty sure it was coming back to him as a reprint but he was a great guy and had no problem with that but had maintained (as did they all) it was original. So I'll chalk it up as a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while.

[Leon]

Picked these up in the last Baggers Auction. He always has some great esoteric stuff. Both of these are upgrades...added a 1931 Cubs Pic Pack....found under some stuff

[ValKehl]

Picked up this W501 for my Sam Rice collection in a trade with dealer William Chappell at the Chantilly Show:

[dferguso1988]

My first E98 and E93. They may be considered rough, but nonetheless still stoked!

[h2oya311]

Val - you are on fire! Very nice pick-up!!

Good job, Don! I was one of the underbidders on the Matty e98. Scary card, but affordable because of it's raunchiness.

Thanks Jim! It definitely is a little rough haha but I had to have it!

Those are strong images.

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank you, Brian. Interesting that Danny Murphy is 1.) listed with the Athletics and 2.) listed as a catcher:

[kdixon]

Love the Ferguson Wheat Brian.

Thanks Matt. Love your Jackson. And that one guy's '52 card isn't bad either.

[auggiedoggy]

C46s don't get much love but to the few here that appreciate them, enjoy these recent pickups ... a better quality scanner is definitely needed here:

[GregMitch34]

Nicest version I've seen of this--not sure why sharpness of photo is so different from nearly all others of this I've seen, any ideas?

[ullmandds]

rob...those are some otherworldly grades on those c46's!

[pgellis]

Picked this one up last night.

[The Nasty Nati]

Nice pickup Phil, I was gunning for that one too . Love the Lionel Carter connection.

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank you, Richard:

Greg, that is an awesome piece! Damn, I want one of those now. That would look so good to the Ted Williams McFarlane.

Gorgeous, Brad! You can't do better than Cobb and the Babe!

REA is auctioning off the Dietsche Tigers post card set sans the two Cobbs and the Crawford. But that would give me something to work on. And, in the mean time, my favorite two from the set after the Cobb batting, the Hughie Jennings, and the incredible Coughlin, are included.

My compliments on two really nice additions to your collection.

[pencil1974]

I love the Jennings pose as he looks so animated!

The 8s and 9s are from the breakup of the #1 set on the PSA Registry. I matched the cert#s with the set sold on REA back in 2010. The set had an unbelievable GPA of 7.70. As far as I can tell, there are only 3 C46s that have been graded as Mint. All three were from the PSA registry (nothing that high in the SGC registry) and all three were from the #1 set. I should have used the seller's scans because mine don't do them justice.

[RGold]

Finally, the first upgrades to my Goudey set in 11 months. And I've really been trying. Another 75 upgrades to go.

[Jantz]

An upgrade for my set and its a Beauty.

Some nice pick-ups by everyone this month!

[kamikidEFFL]

Wow those goudey's are real nice. Very hard to come across 8's on any goudey's. When they seem to come up you pay for em haha. Very nice cards though. Best of luck on the upgrade.

[mybuddyinc]

Glad to have a Schweitzka back in my collection. Love the black uniform, and demeanor. Dude played only one season in organized ball, 26 games, 81 at bats. Probably just happened to be in right place at right time to get a card .
