February Pick Up Thread

[brianp-beme]

Picked up this T206 Hal Chase white cap card from the BST (thanks Jon), not only because it is a cool beat up card (with a Piedmont 150 back, for those keeping score at home), but also to be able to provide a suitable alternative to the infamous chewed up T206 portrait card of Rube Waddell, which I was the underbidder on many years ago, during stretches when the Waddell is missing in N54 action for an uncomfortably long period of time.

First two pick ups of February were the final two I needed to complete the T206 set of 19 Senators. Elberfeld arrived today and the Johnson portrait was picked up at the Pre-War show in DC!

37 towards 205 for the back run, but that's where the marathon of collecting comes in. A huge thanks to board members wazoo, marcdelpercio, and lug-nut for helping me pull everything together, and to the board member I sat with in DC last weekend that gave me a very fair deal on the Johnson portrait (who's name is escaping me - I hope the drive back to Cleveland was easy!).

Thank you to this community, this is a set I've been waiting 30 years to complete.

Congrats, Brian - well done! Will Senators cards in the T205 set be your next focus?

[raineybt]

Honestly Val, I think its going to be both the T205 and the T207 issuances at once. Two Johnsons (same as the T206) and no Elberfeld short print means I think I less of a challenge in front of me - especially if I'm not going on a back run! Still going to need some help pulling it all together!

Had this arrive the other day. A rare impulse purchase! Not too many pop up, so I figured I should seize the opportunity.

That’s one heck of an impulse purchase. Congrats!

Nice pick-up Elliot. That's always been one of my favorite Cobb poses. And I've never owned one before, but someday, hopefully.

Thanks Daryl and Dean. I was very excited to add it to the collection.

As the old bank slogan states, "Chase What Matters".
