REA Pickups

Picked this up. I enjoy the Bread for Health cards and their uniqueness.

There were a lot of great cards available last night, but to me, an all original GU flannel is something that is truly scarce and a great buy for the money. This year I've gotten a 1968 home Giants Nate Oliver (Huggins & Scott), a 1957 home Pirates Ron Kline (Hunt), a 1965 road Twins Zoilo Versalles (Heritage), a 1968 road Pirates Maury Wills (Lelands) and now this one. Would love the 1967 Tigers Mickey Stanley at Heritage but it's already north of $2k.

shut out last night. oh well.

Ryan / Jeff - regarding the c1900 Pittsburg Imperial Cabinet w/ Wagner and Waddell, REA didn't mention Fred Clarke being in the image. Is he? If he's not, why not? Seems odd, don't you think?

Believe that's him in the suit as player/manager/pimp.

Derek, I do not know if Clarke is in the pic - I will defer to Jeff and hope that the pimp in the upper row is him. Also, I dont think Waddell is in the picture. Here is what REA says:

"including Hall of Famers Honus Wagner and Jack Chesbro, along with stars Deacon Phillippe, Tommy Leach, Jess Tannehill, and Sam Leever. "

REA probably just missed it, but I'm pretty confident that's him.

Lucky for you no Waddell, would have cost you 3x what you paid. Lucky for me too, I would have lost and bitched about it forever.

Lucky for us both!! Wagner was the only "W" I was after and the only HOFer, but its cool to get Pimp Clarke and Chesbro too

Not enough of these sell regularly to set a "market", but with the price of Ruth's, I have been dying for a nice one of these.

Sorry, meant Chesbro. Not Waddell. Great pick-up!

I was the consignor on this card and I think you got a hell of a deal.
Paid more for it 10 years ago than you just did, and back then it seemed like prices would only rise.
Not sure what's happened in the intervening years of if Mikan is just too far back for todays basketball collectors to want to collect.
Enjoy it for me, it was one of the tough ones for me to let go.
