January Pick Up Thread

[GregMitch34]

Got this cabinet of boy last night in auction, low price, wonder what anyone thinks of it. Love the mitt attached to belt and general clarity. Maybe appeals to me extra as I wrote a well-known book about coaching my son in Little League.

Finally got the signature on the DiMaggio authenticated. It was looming over my head for a long time. You guys have any idea what this might be worth? Just curious.

That's a tough one. It's really all about the buyer. I've seen autographs of DiMaggio sell roughly for $100-$200 range. Now the card is another story. I've seen vintage cards autographed sell in the $500 range in that era.It's tough to give you a price. But still a nice piece for the collection.

Picked up a couple of new T206s and got my signed T202 Snograss encapsulated at the White Plains show this afternoon.

Sweet Joe D Robby. My guess is this would get at least $700, or more. A pretty well worn raw '39 PB Dimaggio, with a faint pencil signature got nearly $600 recently.

Thanks a lot guys. Appreciate the help. Great card though.I was just wondering a price because I haven't seen any originals signed. Just reprints. But thanks itsjclarke for letting me know about the '39 Playball. That's great to hear

Mike, Frank & Derek - Many thanks for the kind words re my latest pickup for my Sam Rice collection. I have been incredibly fortunate to have picked up several very tough Rice cards over the last 12 months or so.

Darrin & Chris - Your spectacular Speakers are special eye candy!

Raymond - I really like your WaJo pickups. But then, I've never seen a WaJo card I didn't like! Be careful - collecting WaJos can become addictive!

Lots of other fabulous pickups this month! The monthly pickup threads have always been and will always be among my absolute favorite threads!
