Yes.....I am finally first to start a pickup thread.

Very happy with this pickup early this morning. :D:D

Nice win! Here's a better image for you:

After a 22 year layoff, won a REA auction lot (nothing against REA):

Finally was able to complete my 4 Cobb run last night...grabbed a nice Bat/on

1936 R311 Premium "Leather Finish" Arky Vaughn/Honus Wagner

...on cold rainy days I stay inside and take apart my pile of old dilapidated scrapbooks and photo albums and restore and clean what I can. I don't touch the nice ones...

.I like the added touch of the very neat cursive fountain pen " 'Pittsburg' Pirates ".

..Evidently the kid was not from Pittsburgh . Nice penmanship though...a confidant hand.

..

A longtime board member graciously agreed to sell me this e103 oddity from my favorite set and another big acquisition for my oddity/error Type Card run....

Attachment 229580

Nice, Brian. I don't see a bunch of E103 print errors.

Aside from this one and a couple that have rough cuts (possibly handcut)...I've really not seen any other e103 oddities. All three "Williams" sets were extraordinarily clean now that I think about it - you don't see too many at all out of e107, e103 or the Oxford e253 set

+1

T205 Oscar Stanage/Menko catcher
 

Picked up my 3rd Oscar Stanage T205. This one has a cool cursive purple stamp on the back. Also just in from Japan another cool menko catcher.

Nice win, Raymond!

Cool Cobb 3.5.

Awesome May pickups!

Nice Cobby Chris! Congrats on finishing off the T206 Cobbys. The bat off is eluding me thus far but in time I'll corral one.

Wow.............
 

GREAT PICK UPS!

Brian....

you have my taste;)

.

Cool Brian, never seen one of those

Thank you, Dave. I have had other cards from the set, but this one, well.......

Shut out in 2015 on adding to my miller run...2016 has been better!!!

Thanks to REA and a board member for these.

Nice Pete - let's see the whole thing!

That is awesome, Pete, congrats! What's left??

im gonna need chris's help for the "whole thing!"

Remaining is:

blue crofts candy
virginia extra
NADJA
t216-3

Pete, are you sure these all exist? I don't recall ever seeing a scan or someone saying they have a blue crofts.

DJ

Yes i believe they all exist.

T216 Kotton Wagner
 

Happy to have reacquired this one from a friend recently...

Pete&Pete
 

Nice ones to both Petes......Jerry

Pete,

Really love the Kotton. You too, Pete. Same for the other one. Re-pete?

And the return of the quarter...

http://luckeycards.com/phunc1880steamhomeadecdv.jpg

Well,at least it's a pre-war quarter. :D

I am really not that much of a purist, I just pulled that out of my pocket. :cool:

Don't spend it, it's silver. :cool:

There is a E92 Crofts Candy Blue reverse of Harry Davis ending tonight on Mile High. I think it is particularly special since I consigned it.

Fenway oveprint....
 

The search is over...

In the BST, this post belongs.

Disagree. Put this post up because a member on this thread stated Croft Candy blue backs was on his want list and since I had consigned a nice Davis with such a reverse to the Mile High Auction, one of the advertisers on this board by the way, I posted a message. This card would never be found on b/s/t. Isn't one of the missions of this board to try and help each other to find those cards we covet by whatever means. Lighten up.

Sure, but you could've just PM'd that board member about that auction. And I don't think it matters that Mile High is an advertiser or not. There's a separate forum under BST for ebay and auction house items.

And, back to new pick ups:

An E104-1 Morgan, and an E104-3 Jones, they may be rough, but very tough. Thanks DJ for a great transaction on the Jones. And you can't beat $50 from a random e-bay find on the Morgan. Now I need a World's Champions and a type 2 to have a representative of each (unless there are Nadja backed type 2 or 3s?).

nadja backs
 

Ed, not to burst your bubble but they have Nadja backs as well......they are rare but not impossible........Jerry

Now if he had structured his request in Jar Jar Binks speak, I would get up in arms
 

Reread his post "In the BST, this post belongs" in the voice of Yoda and you will realize that Mr. 4815162342 had his light saber set to tickle.

Brian-p-be-me (because Yoda so says)

Jerry, that doesn't burst my bubble, it gives me something fun to pursue! :)

Great Joe Jackson M101 up there!

Agree but not the end of the world..... John (Yoda) is a great guy (hi John) so he and I will chat about it. We can't really let every one post for sale stuff on the front page or it would be anarchy. A PM in this case would have been a bit better. Also, as stated, we do have a place for ebay and other venues announcements in the BST section for them.

Picked this up last night on eBay. Sovereign 460 Back.

Bob! Great pick up

.

Horrible condition wise but this allows me to move the Cobb one box over to be with the rest instead of my type collection.

May Pickups
 

Brian, I knew I could count on you to get my joke. :D

What is on the back? :)

Gabby Hartnett, 1932 Fleer "Whiz Bang Gum"....apparently these were not known to exist until a find a few years ago...only 3 baseball cards in set, Grove, Goslin and Hartnett... only 4 Hartnetts in all and this is only one graded. No idea of ultimate value but fun...The two tiny holes in his cheeks were to hold string, for hanging card? pulling it like a kite?


http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1462714965

cool! were those "found" in that crazy old candy distributorship "find" of lots of unopened early 30's stuff?

Horseshoe Tobacco made by Drummond. Something to chew, while going through your T206 cards back in the day.

.

This is my new favorite "card" in my Pittsburgh collection. I've seen it a couple of times, but never with this particular ad back:

Nice card Jason, I was the under bidder on that with the PWCC auction that just ended.

Just got these back from SGC. 1909 World Champion Pirates.

Thanks Jay. Yeah, I was pretty much "all-in" on it with a substantial max bid.

Cool cards Marty! Nice to see other Pittsburgh collectors out there.

May Pickups
 

Picked up this nice Johnson Portrait - replaced my PSA 4.5. I love centering.

+2 on centering. Personally I think it makes cards looks so much better than others with regular centering. Gorgeous card, congrats on that addition.

Cobb
 

My two recent pickups...

Wow. Page 7 started strong. Beautiful WAJO and nice Cobbs.

e107
 

While I know it isn't perfect, it's my first e107

Finally added this one to my Cubs collection

Nice one Greg! I was thinking about that too, great-looking card.

My first REA win. I know it's low grade but I think it has nice eye appeal.No creases or wrinkles.

beauty eh!

Very nice '34 Gehrig portrait! Hoping to add that card to my collection as well. Congrats!

Congrats! I was the underbidder on that one. Still a good deal I think.

Like a May pick-up!
 

Just found it. I misplaced this card about 2 years ago.

E107
 

Congrats Greg!

Nice cards this month, y'all. That 1914 CJ Cobb is great..Still slogging through the T213-2 set, about halfway now..

Added 2 more this week from the Bay.

Able to snag this one off the Bay (PWCC) from the recent high grade set.

Interesting that there are no 9s or 10s ever graded by PSA or SGC for the entire series.

Some Cobbs
 

Added these this month...

Jeez, that WAJO PSA 6 and Cobb Red SGC 80 are sick. So jealous.

Nice pickups!!

These came this week. Was surprised got Stahl at price I did from PWCC.
