August pick up thread

[edhans]

Can't believe it's the second and no new thread. I rarely post pick ups, as they tend to wind up in my inventory; but this one...

Glad you posted it.
Nice looking card.
Would be happy if you could post somewhere others from your collection.

I have to wait to post my card. It has not yet arrived. Hopefully son

A pair from the "Big Six".

Scored a different 1910 Tigers Schedule with a new advertiser on it. Hard to see the team picture as it’s on red paper. Also got a Jarvis catalog which has many cool Cobb pictures inside and lastly some kind of supplement with Ty and his young son pictured in the center.

Wow! Both great pieces of memorabilia.

Great card, Phil, he is looking right through me. I love the guys in the background too. What card is it, do you know where the picture was taken?

You just have good taste. Congrats, love that card.

I first saw this card following Ben's net54 posts when he was completing his set and was mesmerized by it. Put it on my list but really didn't have an expectation of finding one since there are less than 10 known examples. This one came from a veteran and long time collector who bought it 25 years ago. I'm very fortunate to have been able to add this card to my collection.

Thanks Ben,
I really enjoyed talking to the Seller who had a pacemaker installed the day of the auction. Super nice guy.

Can't let the pick up thread drop to the 2nd page. A member was kind enough to keep an eye out for some E94's on my list at the National. Such a great community we have here.

Added another pose of Rehse a few weeks ago but took awhile to scan.

From another fellow board members old collection. Thank you Steve!

Congrats again Tony, what a card. I’d get that beauty in a updated slab also. Another gem in your pc.

[3-2-count]

Many thanks Phil & Josh.

Josh, at some point Ty will definitely be placed into a new Sgc slab.

[Leon]

That's a beauty, Tony.

Great cards this month already...

Here is a postcard a few people wanted, unfortunately for my piggy bank (my apology to any pig who is offended)

Don't think I have ever seen a Broadleaf miscut before...

Really outstanding image Leon ...

My guess is there were some individuals that specifically collect this ball club (Green's Nebraska Indians) which helped drive up the price. I have seen other colorized images for sale of this ball club.

Again ... outstanding image.

Love the E94 Speaker, Phil! Just let me know whenever you get tired of owning it, and I can offer it a very nice home....

[Rhotchkiss]

Some really amazing pickups this month -- too many to call out (except gotta give Tony credit for yet another great eye appeal T206). And with the national and all the auctions ending later thing month, I expect we will see a lot more eye candy.

Here is my latest pickup from Mile High last night

Hi Ryann

WE know you have been searching for one of those for a while

Congrats Great Pickup.

Thanks Scott, I'll write your name on the back so I can remember where to send it.

Ryan, another great pick up for your collection. Congratulations!

Ryan - Fantastic Young!

Won this really tough Sisler in Huggins and Scott last night.

Congrats Dean! I was underbidder, and then got caught up in other stuff last night.. totally missed the email saying you'd outbid me!

That said, happy it's found a good home, and just as well we didn't bid each other up several more increments!

[SteveH1030]

Been on the lookout for a decent copy of this iconic Caramel card of an underrated HOFer. Excited to post the new acquisition.

Ed, I just happened to be at your table in Chicago when a guy wrote a $20,000 check for a Just So Tobacco card (I didn't see who the player was). Pretty surreal moment for me because even though I know that cards bring big prices, I never actually watched a transaction like that in person.

[Casey2296]

Fantastic Cobb Tony. Jeff, congrats on the Ruth pick up, can't wait to see you post.

George Costanza : Can I say one thing to you? And I say this with an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality.

Jerry Seinfeld : Absolutely.

George Costanza : It's fabulous.

Scored this card at the Nationals.

[charlietheexterminator]

Took a little break from posting, I’ll post a few more as I take some pics. I’ve been working on my autographs and 1950’s collection, made a lot more Net54 hobby friends as I branched out

[Schlesinj]

Thanks for posting that Cobb Historic Autograph. I have never seen that and I did some Googling and saw this company is located 20 minutes from where I live. Interesting concept. Curious how big is the card since it is a T206 and auto combined? I assume it came graded, so the company creates it and then gets them graded and redistributes the cards in packs.

Hi Jamie, it’s an original and correct size t206 with a cut auto. Regarding the PSA holder, it’s a postcard holder.

[mrreality68]

All I can say is I think this is one of the stronger months for new Pickups and it is only 1 week into the month.
Cannot wait for every one to share all their winnings from all of these auctions this month

[mrreality68]

Hi

As Jeff "Prize-ner" guessed it here is the card I picked up but have not yet received. Can't Wait to get it to put it in the collection.
Feel like a kid in a candy store

[smitti8]

Finally sorted out my National haul. Apparently as I wandered from table to table my collecting focus seemed to wander as well...

[Natswin2019]

Picked up my first ever old judge recently. Hoping to have it in hand soon

Very nice Brian

[joejo20]

I checked out a local antique show today and couldn’t leave behind these prewar cards.

All good. Thank you! They are not really within my collecting focus but I felt like they needed a home. Joe

That’s quite a find for an antique store!!

[Exhibitman]

This is a monster thread. I see something and think "holy crap, is that great" and someone tops it a few posts later.

That FM Ruth is just crazy great, Jeff; I love larger format cards. You must be thrilled.

But then there's that E107 Cy freakin' Young. Really??? What is that like a pop -2?

Can't let a Williams RC go unremarked...and a Stein Cobb.

T205 Joss has been on my radar for some time as well and that one is sharp-looking.

I did not realize that Young hunting PC is that old. For some reason I thought it was from the 1930s. I have one somewhere; guess I will have to relocate it in my album since it is out of date range and I am OCD as hell about where my cards go in my albums.

I didn't get much this month but I can throw a few logs on the fire:





Got a bit of a King Carl collection going right now.

[Eric -goudeyhunter]

Thanks for letting me take a peak at this one at the National, Ed...quite an awesome pickup! Congrats!!

[Jcosta19]

Figured this fit better on the card side than memorabilia.
The BEAR is a little scuffed but super cool sign.
Found it at a random Facebook antiques and sign sale.
