October Pickups

Yoda · #1 10-02-2015, 11:38 AM

Well, after about ten years in the wilderness, not exactly like John the Baptist, and minus a London house and a wife, I, John Spencer, have returned to the US, where I am now living in Stuart, Fl on the East Coast. And what better way to start building a new life than to re-embrace my first true obsession - old baseball cards. The first order of business was to form, out of the ashes of Full Count (some might remember that fine old firm,) a new LLC, Past Ball Vintage Cards, and the second was to join this august forum. Leon and I go back away.
In keeping with the thread, although my pick up was September, I was thrilled to get in Leon's auction both E92 Harry Davis Croft Candy Red and Blue. Wow.
Nice to be back. Yoda

Bud Teachout was a good friend's grandfather, and I have purchased a few cards for him over the past few years. This is his earliest card (one that I already had, but wanted to keep for myself, ha)! Now, we both have one! Thanks, Rhett. Pretty sure I purchased my other example from you, too.

Good to have you back John! The old Full Count board was one of the major things that really got me back into vintage cards many years ago.

It's been a good week for signed T206 pickups! Here's my latest -- with an Old Mill back, which may be the only one of its kind. Somewhat of an upgrade for my other one, which will probably make the rounds on the B/S/T or ebay or something in the coming days or weeks.

Picked up this Tolstoi from a forum member.

Welcome back aboard, John! I loved hanging out on the old Full Count board the same way I like hanging out here. Both you and Mike enabled my prewar card habit although Mike was the only one who sold me an Old Judge, my true addiction! : )
