July 2009 Pickup Thread

This is my first post in the new forum. (Can I still call it new?) I have been absent from posting for several months, but was still looking every once in a while. Below is my most recent pickup. I was very excited to get it and I thought now was as good a time as any to start posting into Net 54.

I just picked this up last week. The cleanest 1914 cracker jack I've seen since the near perfect set of 1914's walked into the Cleveland National a few years ago. Not one drop of caramel stain.

Here's another Maple Crispette I recently picked up, thanks to Joey Simas.

Decided to grab a nice BIN on eBay for a McLean T206. I had sold a lesser condition one years ago. Now I have all the catchers with masks on in the T206 set again.

My "break" from buying just took a quick detour.....

The late Randy Stuckemeyer (RIP my friend) had a set of 1914's that was off the charts condition-wise. It is thought that that particular set was a factory one...and I am pretty sure there are a few more cards from 1914 that have been found that were thought not to have been put in with the Cracker Jacks themselves either. Almost all of them could only be had in the boxes hence the normal staining. It's actually a cause for alarm when one doesn't have staining (not a guarantee of an issue but certainly something to look at closer)....regards
