REA Pickups- 19th Century Heating Up!!

[the-illini]

I really wanted to land the 1911 Grover Alexander photo but it wasn't meant to be - happy to pick these three up:

Nice pick ups, guys!

Got this one for my son...

A couple Chicago Cubs postcards for me, and they're dandies. A fold-out extravaganza from 1907 showing the pennant winners, and a 1908 fold-out showing the game between Chicago and New York at the Polo Grounds that decided the 1908 pennant. The back of that one is just as cool as the front, I'll post about it on my Cubs thread later.

Today I learned that F50 Ruths are impervious to doom-and-gloom economic forecasts.

Only picked up one item, but for me it is the holy grail! Born and passed away in my hometown in Nebraska. I've been waiting for the perfect Grover item, and dang it, this is it. My middle school teacher bank account is not smiling today, but as I say, "Buy once, cry once" because once I get this in hand it may never leave!

Congrats! If I couldn’t get it I am happy to see it go to a fellow Alexander fan

I won the 1911 Grover photo. I don't know if you were the underbidder or not, but after a bit I figured it was down to me and one other person. I might have fallen victim to two things:

1) Not knowing with any great idea what an appropriate price for something like this is, as this is my first ever type 1 photo purchase.

2) A new addiction to type 1 photos, particularly portraits.

I love those photos you got, Chris!

Beautiful stuff everyone!

Great Ruth photos!

Jeff: Huge congrats on that Jackson! Just an incredible card and set!

My lone win, that didn't break the bank:

[Griffins]

I won the Newsboy Ward arms folded, and another common from the set, was the underbidder or so on all the rest.

Also won a '49 Bowman Snider and 3 sets of Armour Coins. Anyone want to trade those I've got a ton of dupes.

As usual, Chris, I think I cost you a few extra bucks. This time on the amazing Jimmy Collins Cab. I got shut out once again.

Paul - did I read that right? The Waddell M101 sold for over $8k??? Holy sh*t! I should probably sell mine, but then I’d be left with an even bigger hole in my collection. Wow!

And Ryan- fantastic Ciudad Trujillo piece. Nice to see you branching I into the negro leagues with iconic players like Gibson and Paige!

Nice pick ups everyone, as usual, I was the bridesmaid on many but never the bride. Story of my life lately.
