February Pickups

[teetwoohsix]

I've never started a pickup thread yet, but here goes....these arrived yesterday actually-and I'm pretty excited because it's my first card from the Lionel Carter collection, and also a mini milestone for me with the Monster-#100 & 101 Thanks for a great transaction again Michael (BuffettFan)!!

Sincerely, Clayton

When is a baseball card not a baseball card?

Pretty neat bit of ephemera from my alma mater...

[Leon]

I love the dyslexic ad.

[x2drich2000]

Leon, nice pickup, i've been looking for one of them for awhile now. Its lucky for you I found out about some other cards coming up in your next auction Does that complete your back run of these?

Cheers, John

John, nice pick-ups from Goodwin. I was watching the Wiedman myself as an upgrade but opted to be happy with what I have. There were some amazing nice cards. I really liked the Foutz Brownie (apparently someone else did as well) and the Macullar was a great card (nice appearing, tough card).

Pretty neat pass, would look even better in purple

I would like to thank Kevin for helping me get one step closer to finishing a run on Manning. First four poses down, two more to go. Kevin traded a Manning for a Manning to help me out. Thank you Jay & Cambridge collection for allowing me to obtain acceptable trade material.

Hey Leon, you were fighting me. "Lukcy" for you I already had one Not the 1st time you outbid me. You are starting to be my "Newman!" like in Seinfeld.

Sorry about that...but just think, next one to the hobby and there might not be any competition!! This market is thin, thin, thin.....*(unlike me)..

[deadballpaul]

I keep thinking the market is thin, but then there's always someone mucking it up

[pencil1974]

Just made a trade for this one today should get it mid next week. Made the deal with a guy on eBay who happens to be on Net54 as well.

[shernan30]

The Cobb Run is awesome.

Happy to add the complete 1913 Parker Brothers Lajoie game, with board and box included...

[jp1216]

Jamie - so glad you picked up that blank back Cobb! Beauty!

[Jason]

That Cobb is exactly where it should be.Congrats on the sweet pickup.

Really awesome that you were able to put aside the concerns you posted about the "blank back" Cobb and pay five figures to add it to your collection.

Well done.

Thanks guys, I gave up two big pieces of my collection to get this but I figure this will be my new centerpiece. I have not seen too many times that he has signed his full name with the nickname. What makes it so cool is the Ruppert signature and the photo of them on the postcard signing the new contract. Sorry I'm a little stoked about having this one.

And what an odd setting... outside in the middle of a field? Very cool piece.

That is a sweet piece!

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

I am now up to 90. The latest are all from the BST.

[the 'stache]

Good God, Jamie. That's an incredible run. Chapeau on a monster accomplishment! Just curious, do you have a favorite from these? Maybe due to a particular back (or lack thereof).

Brad, I've never seen Ruth sign his full name like that, though admittedly I have only seen about a hundred examples of his signature. I would assume this example represents a rarity. It's just beautiful.

I tell you, every time I see a modern card autographed in some messy scribble, I think about the Babe's auto. Nobody has ever signed more balls and pictures than the Bambino, yet every one of his signatures are aesthetically pleasing. Just something else that leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to modern collectibles. So much seems half-assed and rushed.

Steve, kudos on finally finding your Dahlen. I really understand now why the T3s were voted most beautiful set. They're just breathtaking. I can't imagine looking at one of those in person, and not wanting to buy. Thank you for sharing it.

Paleo, I agree with you that the Goodwins and Allen & Ginters are beautiful. But I like the Old Judges, too, in large part because of the stark contrast between them. There's nothing being made today that resembles the Old Judges, or the Mayo Cut Plugs.

Greg, that's a really sweet Matty. Beautiful eye appeal.

Leon, one of these days when I get out to a Dallas show, I'd love to sit down and talk with you some about your type collection. One of the things my folks got me for Christmas are the type prints from Old Cardboard, and they're framed and on my wall now. Seeing all these different releases is a little overwhelming, to be honest. I think just storing them all would be a logistical nightmare.

[bn2cardz]

This finally arrived today. To me this card is Gem Mint, I am just glad that SGC gave it a technical grade of "Good" so that I could afford it. Factory errors, to me, shouldn't be counted against the grade of a card (especially to the extent it was with this card).

I don't have time to scan, and HA has great scans already so I will just use theirs:

[conor912]

Just picked this up the other day. I can't not smile when I look at it.

[atx840]

Great E98 miscut......further proof the BSF cards are legit.

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

That Black Swamp Find card is sweet.

[Luke]

That e98 is incredible! The Mack is by far my favorite in the set. Nice pickup!

[slipk1068]

way cool fatty postcard. i want 1...

[GregMitch34]

From the Lawson's Game--the very first baseball card game, so it's said. This is one of the rarest cards in the set. 1884. I guess this makes this my oldest card.

Thanks. I am pretty excited and I am glad I was able to work out a deal to sell one of my t205 multi-strikes in time to have funds to purchase this card.

I am curious to see if more miscuts come up in the BSF cards to know if the rest of the sheet was distributed to the same place. If they do show up in the BSF collection we may be able to figure out an entire sheet layout.

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

That Tinker makes me think of him Carey from the second Ace Ventura movie.

This nice rookie just in from Goodwin.

[paul]

And many thanks to DSTUDEBA for these two beauties. Not quite pre-war, but close enough.

[kdixon]

Picked this up today at a show in KC.

[doug.goodman]

From 1883...

[sebie43]

That Cobb run is amazing, downright breathtaking, Congrats

[bcbgcbrcb]

Great postcard, Paul, that's a really tough one to find.

Are you still going after all of the BB HOF RC's?

[paul]

Phil, I guess I'd say I collect rookie HOFers but I'm not really going after all of them. The Baltimore Ruth and the Just So Young are a bit beyond my expectations.

[itjclarke]

I never intended to go for the whole SF Seal team, but am now only a handful short. Mohler is coming courtesy of Sterling.

... also never intended to go for a Duffy back run, but I guess I am by default after picking this off the BST (no way I'm chasing the biggies though)

[freakhappy]

Ian, how am I supposed to buy any cards if you keep swooping them up???

Nice cards, man! I'm beginning to like those OBAKS more and more.

+1. Not unless I hit the powerball, anyway!

Highest regards,

Larry

[shernan30]

Here are a few of my additions this month including my first T206 and Old Judge . Still waiting to receive my first postcard.

[kamikidEFFL]

Jealous here on the Goudeys for sure. Man that Frisch is nice

[dog*dirt]

Picked up this T3 of Devlin, I liked the crop mark.

Cool Devlin. I already have one, but I was eyeing this one for a while for that crop mark. Definitely adds some interest.
