April new pickups thread

[glchen]

Thanks for the comments, everyone! I think it was a very fair and equal trade for both of us. I definitely gave up a lot of tough Ruth cards that now I have to go out and find again and hope the prices will still be reasonable. However, the Brunners has always been on my want list, and I probably could not have picked up a nice copy without a trade like this.

John Lloyd graded Authentic 94,875 (Hakes)
Pete Hill graded Authentic 64,936 (Hakes)
Ty Cobb graded Authentic I think 13k (Ebay) a steal BTW
Luis Padron graded Authentic 11,243 (Hakes)

And then my poor mans punch card which was under 10k.

Thank you Joe as that type card has always eluded me over the decades and finding one without the little hole in it, made it a must own. Wish I had one with the punch ad back which is ten times tougher!

I don't think this is a big deal. A lot of folks post cards on the Pickup threads that they plan to sell immediately. As long they don't explicitly say in the Pickup thread that "hey, and this card is for sale for $X" then it's A okay with me.

I think it would be better if the pickup thread was reserved for collecting. It just feels wrong to post cards that you don't like enough to keep right after someone posts a card they are really excited to get. I never post cards that I am planning to sell, and I think pretty much everyone else does the same. It seems like it is already an unwritten rule.

I found this T213-2 that is miscut top to bottom and has a little bit of Zimmerman, Chicago Nat. on top.

Except Joey (hi Joey) has been warned multiple times for soliciting offers to buy, sell or trade on this board after promising not to, in order to be allowed back. He is not allowed on our BST forums for a reason (actually many reasons if I recall correctly). He had many selling and trading issues some time ago.
Granted it's been a few years but it seems the ban is still necessary. In essence he is skirting the rule in order to generate interest to sell things. At least that is the way it looks to me.

ps...I should add, otherwise in ordinary cases I agree with you 100%

...This one may be a tough sell to The WidowGarcia....from a " barely 'Fair' " to a solid "Fair".....in my opinion , by replacing a card with wrinkles on the face and horrid corners with one which has oh okay a few faint stains but now the wrinkle is 'way over on the neck and the corners are really decent ( for a fair card )......right about here is where I started babbling " homina homina homina ".
