May 2009 Pickup Thread

Jacklitsch · #1 04-30-2009, 02:37 PM

Little early but thought I'd get the new board going with a pickup thread.

Bob, be sure to repost that nice green Cobby.

Picked up these nice raw 1911 Zeenuts on ebay this week;

T205 with Cycle back

Brian Weisner · #3 04-30-2009, 02:45 PM

Hi Steve,
I thought you already owned all of the Zeenuts on the planet....

Be well Brian

PS I think you are padding your post count to get a "Major Title"....

DeadBall - what is the qualifier from? front looks good to me.

deadballera · #5 04-30-2009, 02:58 PM

the front looks good.

the back is off-center, I didn't mind. Even more surprising to see it with a Cycle back. I know it's not the rarest of backs, but it wasn't listed with the brand in the description.

That's a nice surpirse!

WOW!

Jeff - you going to pay for that one?

calvindog · #10 04-30-2009, 03:24 PM

LOL I'm standing in line behind the last four winners of Tip Top Wagners...so that's a definitely maybe.

deadballera · #11 04-30-2009, 03:25 PM

that is a nice Wagner !!! Congrats

rman444 · #12 04-30-2009, 04:19 PM

That is a funny looking Cobb card.

calvindog · #13 04-30-2009, 04:27 PM

Well, that's true. And I bought it on the off chance one of you guys will put a post up in the BST looking for Wagner cards!

Abravefan11 · #14 05-01-2009, 07:33 AM

That's a nice piece of Cobb trade bait!

Great card Jeff.

Doug · #15 05-01-2009, 07:47 AM

It's a bit rough, but the image is outstanding!

bijoem · #16 05-01-2009, 07:57 AM

I don't like Lichtman.

barrysloate · #17 05-01-2009, 08:29 AM

I think Jeff should hold onto that Wagner card...it's a beauty and there aren't too many Cobb cards out there that compare (maybe a couple).

Rob D. · #18 05-01-2009, 08:32 AM

Joe: Nobody does.

calvindog · #19 05-01-2009, 08:36 AM

bijoem · #21 05-01-2009, 08:54 AM

Awesome Rob!

I was hoping that one went to you.

(or me

)

Rob D. · #22 05-01-2009, 08:59 AM

I think a lot of potential bidders weren't aware that that's Ty Cobb in the back row, far right.

(BTW: Always looking to trade for Boston Garter cards.)

calvindog · #23 05-01-2009, 09:09 AM

Ha! I thought it might be Cobb hiding in the shadows...but I measured the ears up and they were about 4 inches off. My margin of error on Cobb ears is 3 inches so I decided not to bid.

Matt · #24 05-01-2009, 09:19 AM

That's not too far off - Ty Cobb in a Cleveland uniform in a team picture has happened...

Leon · #25 05-01-2009, 09:39 AM

I know I for one am just happy that your very best card came from your very favorite company. Oh the irony.....

barrysloate · #26 05-01-2009, 09:41 AM

But this is a new company with a new business plan.

calvindog · #27 05-01-2009, 09:43 AM

Wait -- are you telling me that Legendary Auctions has something to do with Mastro?

barrysloate · #28 05-01-2009, 09:45 AM

When your package comes in the mail, check out the shipping tape. That should go a long way in determining if they are related.

Amazing Speaker, Jeff!!!

Rob D. · #32 05-01-2009, 05:17 PM

Pssst, Jeff, those aren't Cobbs.

calvindog · #33 05-01-2009, 05:19 PM

Yes, I was in a lull. The lull did not last long.

Rob D. · #34 05-01-2009, 05:20 PM

Hey, I'm just glad you've hopped off the Lajoie train.

sesop · #35 05-01-2009, 06:33 PM

bijoem · #36 05-01-2009, 06:48 PM

here I was feeling compelled to help Jeff out of an apparent lull.

glad to see he snapped out of it on his own.

calvindog · #37 05-01-2009, 06:57 PM

Joe, I blame the entire spasm of spending on you. Honestly, you made me do it.

Jim VB · #38 05-01-2009, 09:34 PM

Those are the nicest Pittsburg Cobb and Boston Cobb I have ever seen.

All kidding aside, great cards.

yanksfan09 · #39 05-02-2009, 06:47 AM

A few new ones for me over the past couple/three weeks..... It's been a real good stretch for me...

tbob · #40 05-02-2009, 09:49 AM

Magie is next.

Doug · #41 05-02-2009, 03:42 PM

Nice green Cobb!

Love the CJs!

wolterse · #43 05-03-2009, 08:53 AM

i picked this one up on eBay a few weeks ago. It was either this one or the REA SGC Plank e95. I thought the eBay would be better value, but both ended around the same price. Both were bargains!

calvindog · #44 05-04-2009, 09:03 AM

Thanks to Bob C

1921 American Caramel E121 Series of 80 Throwing (Mgr. on front)

sesop · #45 05-04-2009, 09:20 AM

I've been needing a B/W E97 for years and finally picked one up last night at Heritage. I've managed to snag a lot of great stuff from them lately at really good prices. Another toughie crossed off my list...

Congrats on the E97! FYI - you don't need to both embed the image and attach it. Either one by itself will allow everyone to see it full size.

tbob · #47 05-04-2009, 09:52 AM

Thanks Doug. In the REA thread I posted the other new pickups this week, the 1955 Bowman complete set and also the E94 Young, Bates, Lobert, Cicotte and Evers. The gold background Young cost an arm and a leg but it's the first gold color variation of Young I've seen so I had to have it.

Doug · #48 05-04-2009, 10:02 AM

Sweet cards too! Lots of great stuff this month everybody!

Matt · #49 05-04-2009, 10:08 AM

Because of the ability to have limited posts per page (which will avoid the slow loading issue of a 100 post thread) and also because we're not using a host anymore that loses the images after 2 weeks, I thought maybe we could try having just 1 pickup thread per month.

mightyq · #50 05-04-2009, 10:17 AM

hey jeff, trade you my cobb + car+boat+ whatever, whaddaya say pal
