October Pickups

[T206Collector]

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.

While the Chicago one is typically understood as the rarer variation, the KC one is not an easy common either. That's a great card -- overshadowed entirely by the Drum -- -- but a great card nonetheless!

Sullivan become number 277 in the rebuilt collection. This one is from the recent Saco River Auction.



Thanks to these guys, and everyone on the board, for helping me put Howe's collection back together.

Beautiful Ed! Happy to help out on this project any time. I love it!

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!

Love love love that Red Murray. I bowed out late. I knew the price on that would be strong. I've never seen one before.

Was fortunate enough to win this beauty last night !

The hardest thing for me was determining an appropriate bidding price point given the recent demand and the fact that this might be a one-of-one. I bowed out late, too -- and then got angry and put in one more bid and won it. Phew.

Nice Paul! Looking forward to the updated collage!
