August Pick Up Thread

[pencil1974]

Picked this up recently as I thought it was just cool. 3.75x5.5 RRPC from 1933.

Since it was mailed from DC I'm assuming this is from the first game of a double header that happened on May 31st against Washington that Ruffing pitched (postcard was mailed on 6/9).

He lost the game so maybe he should have been more concentrated on warming up rather than the guy taking the photo of Ruth.

Cool Ruth RPPC, missed that one on ebay! Here's a few new photos I got yesterday:

First are two 1919 snapshots of Jim Bottomley (pictured at right in both photos). These snapshots show Jim as a teenager playing semi-professional baseball for the F G Aces. Soon after, Jim was discovered by Branch Rickey and signed with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Next is a cool 1922 photograph (5.5" x 3.5") of four Omaha Buffaloes players. Seated from left to right are: George Grantham, Heinie Manush, James Wilcox & Pug Griffin

Thanks for the cool photos Derek!

Nice, DJ!

I normally don’t post until I have the card in-hand, but I’m really excited about this pickup at LOTG last night. It’s not every day you win a card for less than your max bid. And it’s not every auction house that you can actually trust with a max bid! Obviously LOTG is one of the rare ones.

Nice DJ, I was hoping you were the one who won that lot. Those red Crofts are so cool.

Orlando- if I knew how to make a clapping-hands emoji, I would drop one here. Congrats

Sweet pickup! Took a good long look at that card at the National and it is really really nice! I was chasing the Wagner 1899 and went to sleep with what I thought was a safe max bid. It was not. That was a hard one to lose! Congrats on the postcard. You won’t regret that one!

Awesome pickup! Congrats and enjoy!

That card is straight f'ing beautiful Orly, you stole that card my man. I had to choose so I bowed out of that one. Big time congrats, maybe its time to offer you my w601...

DJ, Really glad you snagged the E92 Davis lot. You appreciate these cards for what they are, especially the red Crofts, certainly one of a kind and tougher than the Ty Cobb back or a Drum. Now all you need is the Cocoa, Black Candy and a Blank Back, if they exist, to win the lottery.
My only regret is that you didn't pay enough.
