November Pick Ups

[paul]

I didn't see a November pick up thread, so I'll start. These just arrived from REA's recent auction. The grades look awfully low to me. But I guess that's to my benefit because the grades apparently held the prices down.

Great pickups. Beautiful Gehringer.

Hi Jim, nice pickup! I've never seen that premium before. It reminds me of the 1948 RKO Theatre Babe Ruth premium.

Two recent additions to my M101-4 Sporting News Backs effort.

Gary,
Well spotted!!! I've never seen this premium either!!! It has a similar back to the RKO and Allied Artist premiums I have!!! Here's a back pic

It has been since August 2023 that a Howe-stamped card needed to get to a “complete” set of 522 has shown up (since the McCormick Howe Mercantile didn’t sell Polar Bear, there is no Demmitt or O’Hare). Jeff contacted me last week, saying he had found this in a lot he recently purchased and was checking to see if it was one I still needed. Indeed it was. Of the 114 needed to get to a complete set, it was one of the 85 I hadn’t seen show up in any auction or anyone’s collection.

Thanks, Jeff, now down to 113.

Sweet! I wonder if these all came out at the same time. Can you show your Allied Artist premium front and back? I'm not sure if I've seen that one either. Thanks!

In the most recent LOTG auction, I picked up this 1889 cabinet photo of Pete Sweeney that was used for one of his N172 Old Judge cards (pose #451-4, name spelled incorrectly):

Amazing piece, Val!

Sheesh! Can someone please find an E94 Horde ala BSF so us poor saps who collect the set don't have to sell a kidney any time we want to add to our collections?

Super happy to add these two and one of the nicest condition E99's I have seen.

Along with the Crawford was an envelope from the consignor who purchased the card in 1980, kinda neat.

Got a message from Bob Rice last Friday, saying he saw a bunch of Howe-stamped cards were being listed on eBay if I needed any of them. 20 minutes later, I’d purchased eight that I didn’t have.

Takes the list down to 105 possible cards that I would need to have each of the cards Howe might have had in a complete set. Of those, 13 are ones I missed when Scott Gross auctioned off the huge Goldin lot, and I know the owners of five of those. There are another five I know exist, and know the owners of three of those, but they are Cobbs, which will never fit my budget.

When I rethought the collection to go to one of each, I really never thought I’d get close to 400. Thanks to everyone here for letting me know when they see one.
