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....

Congrats

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?

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

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!

Amazing Cobb and Walter Johnson, Matthew!

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. 😀

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)

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

[LOUCARDFAN]

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

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.

Chris, great Chance!

This was in the last REA auction and apparently was trimmed a little on the top and bottom, but I'm happy to add it to the T205 set I'm working on.

Nice! I almost bid over you late on that one, but turned my attention elsewhere last minute. Glad it worked out this way. Congrats!
