congrats on a terrific pickup. That one can be the cornerstone of any collection. great "poor" too

Thanks Joe! Nicest “2” I’ve ever seen and much nicer than most “3’s & 4’s” I own. Thank you PSA for making this possible on my budget!!

Beautiful Cobb cracker jack

Congrats to Paul h too! One of my dream cards!

Ok, I'll follow the CJ Cobb with this grouping of awesome E90-1s. What do you think of that guys?! Now everyone can start posting pick ups again. Seriously though, sweet 14 Cobb!!

Beautiful Cobbie Dan! Awesome for the grade!! Thanks so much Erick.

Sweet card especially for a 1.

T206 Joss Pitching
 

Really happy to add this beautiful Joss to my collection. Presents very well for the grade.

Sweet card
 

Congrats on the Cobb!

Thanks guys! Had trouble leaving it to go to work this morning! Lol!!!

Dan, I know how long you have wanted a CJ Cobb, but you were patient and waited for the perfect one for you. It is a beauty. Congrats!

Thanks Orlando...I appreciate that!

Dan, wonderful pick up. Congrats. But why did PSA only give it a 1? Outside of the obvious caramel staining, I cant spot any creases, wrinkling or paper loss. The color, registration, centering are all great. Looks like a strong vg to me. Anyhow, regardless, it is a stupendous card. Still chasing mine

Dan congrats. Special card. I agree though, what makes it a 1? At least pwcc recognizes it was certified special!!

Happy to add a nice Batter Up

Thanks John! I don't understand the grade either. There is a light wrinkle on the reverse in the center (maybe a 1/4 inch?) that does not go through to the front (although it can be seen on the front jersey in certain light, including the pic I shared, due to the staining and the thinness of the card). Other than that its sharp all around sans the staining. At the end of the day it presents VG/EX, and I couldn't have afforded it even if it only graded PSA 2, so I guess I owe PSA a big fat thank you for the conservative technical grade.

Thank you sir!

another few additions...

don't drink and bid
 

WOW! It seems November was a great month and it still isnt over! This was my latest pick-up and by far my highest graded CJ of my collection. I was determined to complete a low grade set and on this night I had a few to many adult beverages at the point the auction was ending - just glad someone didn't have a higher bid as I was determined to get it in my inebriated state. $1,200 isnt to bad is it... lol

Beautiful Smoky!

Nice one Micah, it’s a beauty.

I got my first and only Novelty Cutlery PC today. The card is dated to 1907 for some reason even though this specific shot is believed to happen in fall of 1909 and pretty widely accepted as fact so I cant imagine these were produced in 1907. Also a couple more p/us from the fall I don't think I ever posted.

Steven, HOLY CRAP!!!! Congrats. What an awesome haul. WOW:eek::eek::eek:

I'll be the second WOW! Congrats!

Unreal Steven!! Wow

I'll third that Steven.... Wow!! Unbelievable!

Is that Weiser Wonder fresh to the hobby? Jeff Prizner has been keeping track of all the known Weiser WaJo pcs.

Thanks everyone, have all of the cards out tonight.

Hank - Great book, just about finished with it an have thoroughly enjoying reading about your grandfather. The card is not new to the hobby, it use to be Leons I believe. I believe there are four from this production know, with the blue tint, and then the single 1907 PC.

Nice Steven. I tried to bring it down a little so others could post without shame after I showed off my beaters and you go blow it up again. :D Micah, you too with your Smoky Joe CJ! :D

Very nice acquisitions.

Jaw dropping pick ups Steve!

Wow! This has been an insane month of pickups on the board overall! (not even a ton of posts, but serious quality tough cards in the thread!)

So, Heritage ended tonight, which means more November pick-ups. I hate to follow Stephen’s parade of awesomeness, but someone has to (the brown old mill is my second one)

Beautiful Cobby Ryan, was watching that one closely.

Nice going Ryan. :)

Agree with Gary, great card, Leon. I should sell my collection and start over.

Bill Carrigan Large Letter P2 Pin
 

This nice sweet caporal P2 pin arrived yesterday.

Need lust 3 more to complete the catcher run!

Patrick

Ryan, Another incredible month. I knew that Old Mill Brown had your name on it

Beautiful stuff Ryan!!

Picked up the 1908 Boston Red Sox Foldout Postcard from Huggins & Scott. This has been a long-time target of mine as I love the uniforms that year. Very happy this AM!

Nice Ryan!! Are you starting to turn into a Post Card guy?!?! :D

Steve, nice of you to share that group shot. I've been quite impressed with your recent acquisitions!! That WaJo is definitely my favorite of the group! Congrats!!

guys
 

wow~!:eek:

New pickups for sets.

It's almost embarrassing to follow up after all these past few. ... oh well. I've wanted one of these for a while.

Sheeeeeeit, Dave, I'd be proud of any K Bat card, let alone one with a cool image like that! Congrats!

liked the first Polo Grounds so much when it came, I decided to go for another. Not exactly CJ's but as a noob to the teens, these are enjoyable to look at.

Dave- the Denny Lyons card (same pose ) from that set has been on my shopping list for some time...congrats!

Joe - That's one of my favorite Wagners...great pose...hope you have the Cobb too.

haha, agreed on the pose! Trying to decide how deep I want to get into 1914. literally started just 2 weeks ago, have a Matty on its way in a 9 as well to match the Baker and Honus. Need to decide if I'm building the set, or just going for Key guys, or if I'm just done after dipping my toes in.

!!

Jay, great Cobb.

I found that the Game Sets are a relatively inexpensive way to get the bigger stars...the 1913 National Game Grover Alexander, for example, is listed as his RC.

Very nice Jay...congrats!!!

Way to go Jay! Awesome Cobby!

And, congrats to all the other great pick ups.

Ryan, you are on fire!!!

I feel like a nice looking K Bats like that is right on par as far as coolness (:cool:) compared to the other cards you are almost embarrassed to follow. Nice pick up!!

I don't care what everyone else posted...no one likes a show off! ;)

Awesome pickups!

Super pick ups, guys!

I won these in Heritage (I think. It's always tough to tell with them).

Michael, Jay, hats off - great pickups. I was an underbidder (at least I had placed a bid) on all three of those cards- because they are each awesome! Michael, that Tinker is tough. And Jay, you are amassing one heck of a rare back Cobb collection- perhaps post what you got?

Who doesn’t love t206??!!

last one in November for sure...

Great K-Bats Dave and love that Red Hindu Michael. My most recent pickups -

Glad to pick up this beauty (at less than half the price of one on ebay for years). Now if i can only find a Luther Cook!

Epic recent pickups Suckow!

Thanks dude.

This arrived today, my first win from an auction house. I'm tickled with it, as I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get one in my budget, especially presenting as nicely as it does. But it really is one of the grails for me, and I made sure to have my two young sons open the box with me. Moment to remember!

Right you are Garth, that bad boy does present very well. Great addition sir, hope you and your boys enjoy that Ted, and the opening, for years to come !

Congrats Garth! I love that card.. Great for the grade!!

Not Cobby or Matty or WaJo or Wags, just two French cards with relatively little monetary value that I have looked for for a long long time and wasn't confident of ever finding.

Stunning cards...

Fantastic trio there Jay. Congrats!

A big +1!

Jay, great cards, especially love the Lajoie Port.

Happy T Giving all.

Awesome Ryan! I have always liked those backs.

Nice pickup Ryan, I had a feeling you might grab that.

Ryan, I'd be more impressed if the card had a RED back! :D

And, Happy Thanksgiving back at ya!

Thanks guys. Val, I don’t know if a red back exists (I hope not bc it will be real hard to get). DJ would know.... DJ, you know of a Wags throwing (or batting) with a red back?

None that I know of...thankfully! Only red backed HOFers I can confirm are Crawford (2 copies) and Evers (1 copy).

Ah ha!! No red Crofts, something to be thankful for on thanksgiving!!

Nice Wagner, who got the e106 from Bagger's? Here's a hofer from someone who makes fun of grading. I still like high grade cards...

Thanks Scott!
