August pickups

[LuckyLarry]

I remember back in 1991 we were talking Old Baseball Cards on the Prodigy bulletin boards. Someone posted looking for cards of a relative who played baseball in the late 1800s, Doc Bushong. I don't know why I remembered this, but I can still picture that Scrapps tobacco card someone posted about.

Thursday at the National, I visited Net54 member Taxmechanicks' (Glenn) table, and picked up an 1887 Buchner Gold Coin card of Doc Bushong. Leaving behind that Scrapps tobacco card of Bushong that I still remembered. I think my reason for choosing the Buchner Gold Coin card was #1 it was older #2 I liked his picture in the catchers gear.

Back at the hotel Thursday night, I regretted not purchasing the Scrapps tobacco card, and planned on hitting up Glenns table first thing Friday to purchase the Bushong card I left behind. Thankfully it was still available.

So now I collect Doc Bushong!

Nice. A couple weeks ago I sold an N172 Doc Bushong on ebay to his great grandson. I wonder if it was the same guy.

Congrats Scott! And that Crawford CJ is unreal!

Had some fun opening up my PSA submission this morning. Most of these are recent pickups. The Carey is a card I've wanted for a long time and actually got it from a BST want to buy post. Thanks again to the board member who sold it to me!

Started this month with the '33G Ruth, and then pile this one into the mix. If this month continues at this pace, the September pickup thread will include a new apartment for when my wife kicks me out!

Great Wagner, Scott

You and I are going after 'big dogs' this month...but, I'm ahead of you as I already have the place to myself.

Lordy, she certainly would have bought a lot of fancy shoes by now and thrown these two little pieces of cardboard in my face to justify them.
