I got what I think are a cool couple of pickups from Wheatland and LOTG. Both have to do with longtime MLB pitcher Al "General" Crowder, who is from Winston-Salem where I have lived for over 25 years. Crowder was born in Winston and after his career came back and was instrumental in developing our longstanding tradition of hosting a minor league franchise. He lived the rest of his life here, and is something of a local hero. I was lucky enough to pick up one of the cards he autographed for Uncle Jimmy (I mean, I don't if that's real but it's a good story) from Wheatland and a 1935 World Series game 4 ticket stub from LOTG where he pitched a complete game victory.

I love seeing everyone's pickups.
I was happy to pick up this W554 Waite Hoyte at a good price. That's my 4th of this set. Only 14 to go.

MEDWICK.jpg
This has always been my favorite card from the Diamond Stars set. Before I learned about the "Gas House Gang" or Medwick hitting for the Triple Crown in 37', something about this composition jumped out to me as a kid flipping through Classic Baseball Cards by Frank Slocum. Acquiring this example from the Uncle Jimmy Collection signed in era correct ink was a no brainer. |

What a beautiful signature of Willie Kamm. So much nicer than the rushed chicken scratches today's players provide.

Those t 207s were nice in Heritage. I was bidding on several and got the Marquard. Didn’t arrive yet.... these seem cheap relative to what is going on out there price wise!

Thanks for showing the great V89 Patterson of Bancroft. The set has some great, not found in other set photos, and the pose and angle of the shot on this one is just plain interesting to look at. And the set is so uncommon, this is the first time I remember seeing the Bancroft.

I'm new to collecting and targeting Senators and HOFers, so this was an important piece to the puzzle. Obviously on the low end of the grading scale but really happy with the eye appeal.

Never thought I'd own a green T206 Cobb because I was very happy with the PSA 4.5 "bat off" Cobb I bought at the Baltimore National in 2012. But when the owner of my favorite shop (virtually) dangled it in front of me last month, I became transfixed and had to have it. Even though it's nearly miscut high, the crease-free image, registration and color are beautiful to me. A card I'll be proud to own for a long time to come.

IMG_2027.jpg Picked up this autographed cabinet photo of player/manager and T206 subject Jimmy Burke. Photo was taken during Spring Training 1911 at Hot Springs and was signed "To My Pal Connie". Burke played for Milwaukee under Connie Mack in 1900 so this may have once belonged to "The Tall Tactician" himself. |

Not a HOFer (or even close), but I'm glad to finally pick up an m101-6 Ehmke to go with the matching photo embossed with Mendelsohn's name.

My two most recent pickups. Two of my all-time favorites. Had to sell a lot of shiny stuff to make it happen and couldn’t be happier about it. Both acquired through this forum. Thank you!

I thought I would post some Pics of some great early Cabinet Cards that I just found at a local Sign/Advertising Show. I have been a long time collector of early Cards and Bats but have never posted on this Site before. Please let me know if anyone recognizes any of these Players.
