May pickups

[Vintagecatcher]

I picked up a 2nd Tom Needham T207 to display with his Plow Boy Tobacco Cabinet.

It's one of my favorite T207s and this example has more red in the skin tones than my other example.

A card that's been on my want list for awhile. I didn't expect my bid to hold. Now in theory I can get rid of my Geitzen (I collect the three backgrounds from the baseball set and the Fogerty and Geitzen have the same background).

Steve- Just saw the card of Cobb. Very nice! Congrats, that olive green back Cobb E94 is very, very tough.

Man, I was going back and forth about trying for this card, and opted not to. Glad I didn't, it is nice to see you got it.

A couple pickups from the Robert Morris show:

[Joe_G.]

An unusual addition to my collection; wasn’t sure if I should post here or on memorabilia side. It is an antique chest that based on patents and contents within likely dates from somewhere between 1873 and 1888. I purchased it from a dealer who specializes in antique trunks and he indicated he purchased it from Detroit.

What makes it interesting is how it was decorated with some 1888 Detroit Wolverine Scrapps (or more correctly, H. D. Smith & Co Baseball Gum Die-Cuts). The seller restored the chest but left all the original décor within untouched.

The Scrapps include Bennett, Brouthers, Getzien, Dunlap/Hanlon, Richardson, and Thompson. It appears that the original/early owner initially included Dunlap in the collection but opted to place Hanlon’s head and name over him. Reasons for the update may be linked to Dunlap’s move to Pittsburgh for the 1888 season while all the others remained with Detroit. The Scrapps are not in particularly great shape but that doesn't matter to me and will remain as they are as long as the trunk is in my care.

Oh well, I suppose I can post this . . .

Far more information can be viewed on Memorabilia side, see post 63 here.

Spent the last month or so putting together this set of Billy Williams cards in EX-NM condition for my son as a gift. Still short a couple of cards that I just have not been able to find well centered yet. I would like to thank the numerous Net54 members that sold or traded me cards to put this set together!

Care of REA. Not in the best shape, but still allows me to check another one off of the list!

[GregMitch34]

Finally got one of my fave images--for tone and color--and with great centering and price no less (even from PWCC).

Now that is a nice Cobb, wow.

[cracker_jack]

Upgrades on two cards from my favorite set.

[MikeGarcia]

...borderless var.--only one I've seen in nine years so despite the top and bottom pinholes , it's a keeper . I've scanned it alongside a Type 2 . These are 1935 ( ? ) or 1936 Goudey Gum Premiums. Ole Doc Cramer doesn't even appear in the regular 120-card set = the Type 1's have that little ''Litho. In USA" down in the lower right corner .

Wow Chris, amazing Cobby. Congrats!

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up a nice looking Joe Dunn T206.

Thanks,

Patrick

[Luke]

That Sov150 Cobb is awesome, congrats! Greg, you keep getting awesome eye appeal cards, good work!

Some new 150s for me:

[gregr2]

Thanks Luke, I'm going slow and I've been learning what to look for to try and find cards that look nice for the grade. It's a pretty steep learning curve but spending time on here looking and evaluating cards really helps when it comes time to make a purchase. Not sure why but I really enjoy those cards with the name at the top and bottom (I've got 3 now!).

First pre-war pickup in a while...

Only 2 FULL game tickets have ever been slabbed by PSA and this is the only one ever to receive a numerical grade. It is a 2 based on some very light hairline creases that you need to really squint to see. Very much undergraded in my opinion but since its the only one ever with a numerical grade, I'll be ok!

Peace, Mike

PS This ticket was another "raw" Vermont "find" that was recently slabbed among some incredible finds recently.

This is a terrific Cobb. Good luck with your quest for the other two.

Thanks Ed. This month's thread has really been filled with some great T206s.

[BicycleSpokes]

I am very happy to add this Cobb to my T206 collection (my 2nd); It is a 1, but a decent looking one!
