May Pick-up Thread...

Jimmy- great Beatles packet. You can tell that photo is from 1963 by the collarless jackets, which they wore only during the summer and fall of 1963. By the time they played the Royal Variety Performance on November 4, 1963, they were back to wearing collars again.

Wow Greg....

Congrats are definitely in order for that one. A holy Grail piece! The one currently in REA is not nearly as nice as yours.

May I ask how/where you acquired it? A magnificent acquisition...

That's an incredible example of the game Greg. Wow.

Was happy to pick this up... another toughie to find in nice condition!

This is the one I had before:

It was restored and I paid (well you can see what I paid from Hunt's) and I consigned it to Bill Mastro a few years back and said I would wait for a "nicer" exemplar. Well, after what I paid, it "sold" in Mastro's for ~$1100, and I netted close to $900 after commission, etc.

So, one day I am perusing the boards here and, lo and behold, Dr. Mark Cooper, noted baseball game expert (of whom I have had his book for years) and he helped me acquire this magnificent specimen. He is the best.
