August Pickups

[MikeGarcia]

...lightly adhering to very thin brittle scrapbook page paper...I'll leave them as they were found except for trimming the exposed excess paper-- the backs are blank anyway...it worked out okay on the bottom two cards .. it's always nice to look at pre-war Yankees..I guess this is considered 22-year-old Scooter Rizzuto's rookie card ?

Picked up the T206 Drum in SCP last night (it appears). I have a Wiltse Uzit also, so maybe a player run is in order?

That is pretty awesome to have a T206 Drum and Uzit of the same player.

Thanks Eddie. I actually forgot that my Uzit was Wiltse (scans below) when I was bidding on the Drum...I realized it this morning.

Added another signed DS. No goals to go for a set, but keep picking 'em up.

Loving these pickups this month. I live through some of these members haha. My funds don't run as big as theirs do.

Thank you so much, Luke! You know, it felt really good to just let loose a little bit. I'm almost at the point where I can start doing some serious work on my collection, and I can't wait.

I love the cards you picked up, too. People told me that after I'd been collecting the Monster for a while, I'd start to appreciate the different backs. They were right. They add a whole other dimension to the set for me. When I got my first Polar Bear backed card, I was pretty excited, even though it certainly wasn't a hard to get back. Then I got one of the factory 649 overprints followed closely by my first Southern Leaguer, which had an Old Mill back. Now I find when I look for cards, the backs play a very big part of my decision making. I look forward to my first Sovereign, Cycle, American Beauty and EPDG-backed cards.

Made a decent dent in the "Monster"!!

The 3rd pic is all the cards stacked up and showing off some better ones.

The Raymond is a Double Name and the Batch is a miscut with another card showing at the bottom. There are some in the lot with 2 backs showing.

The Cobb and Mathewson are from individual purchases but the rest all came from the same collection.

Super impressive . I got to dig deeper in the storage garages and flea markets .

Happy to add these two
