January pickups

[VintageBen]

Happy new year everyone.

[BabyRuth]

A nice pair of Ruths for Christmas - check out the rare Home Run back on the W502 with CANCEL stamp!!!
Happy New Year folks!!

[big-six]

Recent REA score

[RCMcKenzie]

A couple of tougher N284's. The George Meyers looks a lot like George Meyers, and the Deasley sort of looks like Deasley.

Far from pre-war, but this major purchase (to go with my new set) needed to be on the front page.

Can't keep spending $ like this is 2021....

Great pickups, Jim! I've never seen a W502 with a cancel stamp before, and the W521 is really rare also.

[BabyRuth]

Thanks Gary - I knew you would appreciate them!!

Personally, Phil, I like some staining on 1914 CJs. It adds the character that shows it was packaged with the candy. Sweet card.

2021 starting off with a bang! Great pickups all around, gentlemen!

I am not bothered by CJ stains. What a beauty! Congrats.

Thanks Andy,
They wouldn't be 14's without a little dirty on em'. Hey, did you get your Clarke? Tracking says packaged delivered.

Great looking CJ Speaker! Looks like the one Jason had in his CJ HOF Collection last year.

Looks way better than a 2...PSA has been tough on CJ Speakers for some reason this past year.

The first steps of recovery is admitting you have a problem. Sitting in the office today getting a jump on next week and these arrived. Is there a Collectors Anonymous support group someone can point me to...

McGraw, Waner, & Cobb all on my checklist. E98 blue Clarke master set upgrade (thanks Aad), and a 1913 National Game Johnson misidentified as a Tom Barker just cuz I thought it was neat.

[Natswin2019]

Bought these from another member today

[Natswin2019]

Also great picks so far everyone. Great start to the year for y'all and it's only the 2nd!

[longstreet766]

December pickup, January arrival...

Acquired in a three party trade from long time member Kevin Struss. Such a great reminder of what I really enjoy about this hobby, helping other members with their goals while meeting mine too, dealing with great people, and having fun doing it. A really enjoyable experience, this is quite a special place and I'm grateful for the people here.

Excited to add a Type 1 Texas Tommy to my collection.

Wow, congrats! That card is beautiful.

[soxinseven]

Great postcard Pete! I really like the postmark showing it was used as intended.

[Aaron Seefeldt]

Happy to have these

[CobbSpikedMe]

Wow! J=K's galore, including a Mathewson. Very nice pick ups!

Thanks Chad, Texas Tommys have such a great west coast story.

Phenomenal month for our members so far.

Always a fan of the premiums...

Outstanding Ruth rookie postcard Pete!

(there are more than two postmarked examples known, the Copeland and Carrigan's wife copies for example)

[pcoz]

Thanks for letting me know Jeff, didn’t realize there were others postmarked. Kevin, didn’t know it was in your collection or the history on the day it was mailed, cool stuff!

Missed out on a CJ in Scott's last pre-war auction, so of course I go and spend even more on this one. But anyway, glad to have a CJ hall of famer in the collection.

[BuzzD]

Another great Board member transaction. Nice T204 Ball and an E122 Bodie (none graded by PSA or SCG) Thanks Ed
These cards went from Buffalo to Memphis to Long Island NY - but never quite lost!

[yanksfan09]

Thrilled to find a Tesreau D381 to start the year and very happy the M101-6's arrived safely after a nearly 30 day priority mail shipping trip. Photo is Minneapolis team in 1938 with Ted Williams.

[GasHouseGang]

These should have been in the December pick-ups, but the post office had other ideas.

Thank you, Buzz. You left out the Sioux Falls, South Dakota stop.

[gabrinus]

Nice Zeenuts and Baltimore Newsboy guys...Jerry

[Casey2296]

My 1st Obaks picked up from a member. Thanks Turner.

[Casey2296]

And my 2nd M131. He's a little beat up but he's a Newsboy. Thanks Mac.

[rhettyeakley]

So I was the winner of the Collection of nearly 500 Zeenut cards in the most recent Heritage Auction. I don't remember being more excited about getting a collection in the mail than I was to get this one. The description was so vague and there were so few pictures that there could literally be anything in there.

I made a video on my YOUTUBE channel going through the collection for the first time. I was hoping for a few gems hidden in there BUT I WAS COMPLETELY UNPREPARED FOR JUST HOW AMAZING THE COLLECTION ACTUALLY WAS!!!

Please check out the video a the link below...

[Aaron Seefeldt]

Thank you for filming your newly acquired Zeenut (and Tin Tops) book. So cool! I really enjoyed going through the book with you and congrats on the checklist! I hope you can get it uncovered without too much damage.

[Vintagecatcher]

Awesome video!

Amazing zeenuts and Tin Tops!

Patrick

[brianp-beme]

Every collector has to see Rhett's video...it made my heart pitter-patter as he got overwhelmed discovering just about everything you could want from the 1915-21 Zeenut sets, plus Colgan's Tin Tops. It has to be one of the top hidden auction finds. Shame on Heritage not spending a little more time detailing this scrapbook (poor consigner!), but one heck of a score, and a big congrats to someone (Rhett) who appreciates and collects the Zeenut sets.

The 1919 ad listing available Zeenuts is quite the score too, and I absolutely love the photo of the original collector with his fellow baseball buddies...a priceless gem.

Dang...

Brian

[Jason]

That's a nice album and a fun video to watch. Thank you.

[Casey2296]

Finally got around to grading some cards I collected as a kid and they arrived today. Please excuse the post war examples but they look kinda neat as a group.
