July Pickup Thread

[ZiggerZagger]

Picked up my last SL'er this past week to complete the run. Surprised me a bit that it ended up being Pat McCauley with as tough as some of the others are.

The SL'ers have been such a cool part of the T206 set to work on, and a few board members on here were really key in helping me along the way with big batches of cards.

I think they look great all together as well!

After a complete run of SLers, this looks rather pedestrian. However, I added another T206 HOFer to my collection. SGC 3 from eBay.

Really happy with the centering and registration on this one

Sharp looking for the grade. The registration and color are always tough on that one.

Only a couple in July, but picked up two more and completed this short set...

[gabrinus]

Nice Scott!!..Jerry

[Rhotchkiss]

Holy crap that a nice run of pick ups. Jason, that wall of SLers is gorgeous; Nothing wrong with t206 HOfer Mr. Willis; congrats Dan on another solid pick up (you are on a role), and; Scott - Damn!!! That’s is quite a group there- beautiful and so tough. Congrats!

This is a beauty. I have always loved the look of this classic DiMaggio.


Here’s my contribution for this month! Looks great next to my Red Ruth!

Wow, that guy at the back right (Cuban card) has to be almost 7 ft. tall , right??

Presents really nice! I still like the '39 card more though and it gets overlooked for some reason.

Thanks to Jim C. for this cool HOF P42. Slowly starting to add to my rare back collection again.

Very nice Michael, underrated back IMO.

Congrats Jason, fantastic subset!

[C-mack]

Picked up a few more 34 goudeys from the set I got the gehrig a few weeks back

[jthorst75]

Just bought then immediately reholdered. Looks much better now!

C-Mack, I did a double take when I saw your last two 34 Goudeys. I picked up a Dean and Foxx with the exact same grades and posted them in the June pickups! At first I thought I was being pranked. Hahaha! Quite ironic.

No kidding!! Actually before this auction took place, there was some speculation that the standing giant MIGHT in fact, be the great Hall-of-Fame pitcher, Smokey Joe Williams! But alas, after quite a bit of thoughtful research and image comparisons from fellow board members, a consensus was reached that it's probably not he. But the player sitting at far right is definitely Alejandro Oms - a guy with a decent shot at the Hall, someday. I hope.

Another T206 HOFer pickup...

[CobbSpikedMe]

Recently picked up this e90-1 Fromme. It replaces one that I had but went to another member and I couldn't be happier to have another one.

Eat your hearts out guys!

..Took seven or eight years but I finally found another 1933 Worch Cigar Premium of Detroit Tigers pre-rookie Gerald "Gee" Walker , with most all its original gloss and which does not have sixteen pinholes ( 16 !! ) ( I held it up to a light bulb and counted ).......his rookie card had been considered the 1934 Goudey issue......strange but I sort of lean towards preferring to look at the old one --because you can better view that cool old guy up in the stands and his neat hat...

Thanks to a board member, I was able to add this very rare Dots Miller card to my collection, a 1911 Baseball Bats. Makes a nice trio with the other two candy box cards I already had for Miller (also shown below, but only the Baseball Bats is new)

[3-2-count]

Scott B, congratulations on set completion. Those are stunning!

Many thanks to a fellow collector who reached out to me privately on these and and then assisted on guiding them into my collection.

Original OBAK Cigarettes shipping crates. To say that these are over sized would be an understatement. Their BIG!!

Grand children shown did not come with the crates

[edjs]

A couple new ones toward the set. Been awhile. Thanks Dave for helping with the Tozer. Looking forward to seeing it in hand.

[MVSNYC]

Thanks Chris & Ryan!

Great stuff, everyone! That SLer set is stunning.

(Tony, still cannot believe you're a grandfather!)

T205s just keep rolling in.

[RCMcKenzie]

Red Murray KC. Fun finding this one and crossing it off the list. 170/185 Rob

[luciobar1980]

This is my second copy of this card. One of the most gorgeous cards in the hobby, IMO...

Great pick up. I've got a Musial need for my display. I've considered this one, and agree it's gorgeous.

Although over my budget, never thought I'd own a T207 Mogridge for under 2 C's. Is the market getting soft for the exotic other than Cobb?
sorry about the side view..

[esd10]

New t205 chance

[RCMcKenzie]

Picked up a California Brown holding mask from eBay. Chipping away at a pose run.

Hi all-
Anyone have an idea of how many Obak Red back T212 complete sets exist? Also looking for info on the E99, E100, boxing and non sports tobacco cards. TYIA

[ocjack]

I had one T212-3 complete set that I sold several years ago. But I'm sure there are several more out there.

Which boxing and non-sport sets are you looking for this information on?

[DDurb]

My family and I have come across some of the Mecca Track and Field, Golfing, Billiards, Light house, and auto driver cards. There are some Turkey Red automobile series cards as well.

[t206fanatic]

Picked this guy up the other night, he's well loved but gets me to 92/302 on the AB master back run

[RCMcKenzie]

Nice one, Jeff.

DDurb, if you go to the main page, and click on Boxing and Wrestling cards, those guys can answer all your questions. Sounds like a nice find.

[Gpaal]

Well done guys

[Jeff_cvc]

A few of these might of been May or June as well 🤷*♂️ Nevertheless, I’m excited to be back in collecting mode. Thanks to Net54 member, Michael for the t201 Cobb! (I apologize for some poor quality pictures, I’m on vacation and haven’t had the time to scan any images).
