October Pickup Thread

[chadeast]

Kicking off the October thread with a card that arrived from REA yesterday. Rube was quickly cracked out of his slab, the 12th T3 in an SGC slab that I've cracked so far. Scans at the bottom are post-cracking. He looks so much better out in the open very happy to be the new owner.

EDIT: Looks like Jeff and I both started an October pickup thread at exactly 12:25 PM! Sorry Jeff

Great looking Waddell....
Here is a W574...

Not if you own that you're not! Great pickup.

Great Pickup.
Should have known I was bidding against you
Congrats

[Bartholomew_Bump_Bailey]

Gorgeous!

Picked up a Churchman's Ruth. Considering whether or not to send it to SGC instead. Only problem is the grade will drop if I do, but at least they'll put his name on the flip and at least it'll be in a tux. Decisions, decisions... Either way, I love this card.

Looks like the max file size I am able to upload is 19.5kb. That's a pretty small allowance for uploading images of cards. Am I doing this wrong?

[BabyRuth]

picked up a few lower grade 48 Leafs - and some color variations

Just Arrived Yesterday

Picked up this really nice looking Aaron rookie. It’s a PSA 2 because of the light tape stain on the back. Has the eye appeal of a PSA 5.

he back. Front has the appeal of a PSA 5.

I love cards like this where the eye appeal is so drastically out of line with the number on the slab. Great card!

[LOUCARDFAN]

Thanks Travis. I am always on the lookout for hidden gems like this. I always buy the card and not the holder.

Nice Brown Ken...Jerry

Thanks, a bucket list card for my T205 Cubs front/ reverse collection. Card 149 out of 151 possible cards. Missing the 2 Hindu cards ( Kling and Pfiester)

[BeanTown]

You can’t go wrong with any Wolverine rookie Cobb PC, and congrats Pete. Since you and Jeff won’t let me buy any Cobb cards, I have to zag to a non sports card of Walt Disney before they become to expensive to buy.

Awesome pick up Pete, congrats!

Awesome Cobb Wolverine! I bowed out a little early on that one. Enjoy!

Incredible Cobb rookie. That one and the steel tubes are my faves!

And nice DiMaggio R312 up there!

Not pre-war but I won’t complain

Awesome card! I would vote to keep in the PSA holder but to each his own. That's one of my favorite Ruth cards and certainly one that is below the radar!

Here are some major recent additions (purchased on Sept but not scanned in until October)

First, here is an Old Mill Red Cobb I purchased from Jay from The Monster Podcast in a smooth deal. It's my replacement for that PSA 3 that FedEx destroyed and I think it looks awesome!

Also added a WaJo from ebay. Card looks pretty strong for the grade in my opinion:

I also grabbed a DeLong Cuyler for my Cubs PC:

Thanks for the look and happy collecting!

Great looking card!
I'd gladly own that one as well.

[rugbymarine]

Amazing Cobb and Walter Johnson, Matthew!

[IndyDave]

From the recent Sterling Sports auction

My T-206 Cleveland team set is down to two cards : Elmer Flick and Cy Young glove showing

This Cy was a considerable multiple of the $20 I paid for the portrait Cy Young in a long ago Frank Nagy auction. 😀

[Vintagecatcher]

Thrilled to finally get this cool catcher cabinet card after a long wait in USPS limbo! The photo is crystal clear!

Terrific picture, Patrick. Nice equipment. Kid didn't work in the coal mines. You've been growing that catcher collection for a long time now. I have enjoyed the ride.

[Vintagecatcher]

Thanks David!

I'm a big fan of your collection as well.

Patrick

Cuban card...

[jason.1969]

Added the “partial B” variation of Cy Barger to my T205 Brooklyn set. This completes my set, aside from the much more difficult Kaiser Wilhelm card, which I don’t expect to add.

Will have a better sense once I see the Barger card in hand but it may be a “green border” as well.

Really happy to pick up this one at a good price.

[MVSNYC]

Chris, great Chance!

Thanks. I used to have a lot of Cuban type cards but don't see me going full fledged again. I just thought the image was so cool I had to have it.

Here is a postcard, the only seen baseball player from the set, I posted in another thread that doesn't get looked at.
Not sure why a TPG wouldn't give it an A but it's a real postcard..
1909 postcard....(edited, not rookie)

Hmmm. Never noticed this before but does anyone else thing young Walter looks a little like Tom Brady?

[Rhotchkiss]

Congrats Chris, great pickup/combo.

Vintagecatcher- the cabinet is off the hook! What an amazing, clear pic. Someone must have had that in a safe for 130 years!

Leon- nice Cuban card, very cool pic as well

Ignatius and Dave- congrats on the top-tier t206 HOF pick ups. James, nice Combo!

[LincolnVT]

This is very nice!

Very happy to add this to my Herzog Boston back run. Thank you Chris for reaching out and working on a deal! Slightly more difficult back - 24 between PSA & SGC.

Just came today, Eddie is free!

[ullmandds]

trying to get my fill of ruths before they're unattainable!!!

[jayshum]

Picked up my second of the eight T202 Mathewsons. Still have six more to go along with five Cobbs.

[joejo20]

A BIG Thanks to member chadeast for help with this one!

[Mutton Chop Yaz]

Been looking for one of these that looked decent and wouldn’t completely break the bank. Lo and behold, Greg Morris had just the ticket.

So you were the lucky winner!

Congratulations!!!!

Love this card in any shape or form...

Thank you! I might have suspected it was another Net54er pushing my bid to the brink.

Great cards everyone. But where do you all find the Cabinets, Cuban cards, Postcards, etc? I check ebay, but most of what I see is reprints. Or do you just bide your time on eBay? Are there other avenues to buy cards besides there and here? Or is there somewhere else that does that type stuff (stuff I listed above)?

There are several ways to go (ebay is not one of the better options)

1. BST Section of this forum
2. Auction Houses (AuctionReport.com gives a list and schedule of upcoming and current auctions)
3. Network of contacts from net54 and other places done transactions with
4. Card Shows
5. Ebay
