October Pickups

Ah yes. White Castle's rat burgers give the term "sliders" a whole new, and rather disgusting, meaning.

Lummis Peanut Butter/Sealtest Printers Proof cards.

The only two of these that were actually issued are the Rowe and the Seminick. Given the inclusion of Pennock, these were likely produced some time in 1947 or very early 1948. The sets were not released until 1949. All of the cards are different sizes, as if they were trying to find which one would work best for their needs. Not just the overall size of the proofs, but also the interior images are of different sizes.

These are so interesting as the names and the borders along the images are both raised. Just incredibly interesting stuff.

I have to think that the Pennock is his last image on a card before he passed away.

I will be making these available shortly in the BST.

Happy to pick up a decent T209-2 example for a decent price.

Extremely happy to pick up this new addition to my signed T206 collection. Long gone are the days of paying a few hundred bucks for one of these. I've never seen another Red Murray autographed T206 -- and, frankly, didn't know that this one even existed until a fellow Net54'er alerted me to last night's Hunt auction. With this addition, I now have 39 different T206 poses autographed (not including Matty and McGraw signed by their widows).

Congrats Paul on landing a new one. I watched that lot with great interest, and was both surprised (but not shocked) at the strong ending price. There are obviously at least a couple others pursuing these new examples of signed T206 cards that pop up from time to time. I always liked Red Murray and that's a great looking signature, I bet it feels good to get a new pose to add to your collection

Ok so technically they are a late September pick up but I didn't get a chance to post in the September thread...

Usually all I have to share in the pre-war pick up threads are some low grade Cardinals & Browns cards (which I love!!). This time I have something a little more exciting to share! Picked up this group of 3 T206 including a Starr with Drum back. For me the find of a lifetime! I also understand the Lundgren is a somewhat tougher front/back combo too.






Thanks,
Scott

Amazing find indeed on that Drum back!! Congratulations.

On the Lundgren EPDG, the tough one is the Chicago Lundgren, not the KC one.

Wow incredible find. That Lundgren EPDG is definitely tough and that Drum ...where did you find such t206 treasures?

Would love to hear the story on that Drum find and where that one came from. What a great card!
