June Pick Up Thread
 

I was very pleased to add these 2 tough miller fieldings to my collection...I'm now up to 10 diff backs.

Nice cards Peter!
I picked these up last night in the Legendary Auction. I remember buying packs from the 1959 boxes when I was a little kid.

Wow, Peter very nice. Tbob love the e cards.

Cheers,

John

Another month, another Diaz

Thanks Will

Very cool Pete...any scans of the entire run?

Thank you, William:

Chris...I do not...I don't have the capability unfortunately?!?!:confused:

Peter, I thought you would be going after that blank back. You have an impressive run on that Miller fielding card.

I just got this in a few days ago, my first Wagner. Only two more cards to go for the set (Plank & Cobb).

Two crazy-tough HOFers on ONE card. (Lovin' the photo bomb guy, just behind Rube)! Happy Saturday, Gents!!

Ken
Nic photo PC

Would love to have been there at photo shoot. Cool pic.

It's not old, though it does look old. I had to buy one just to see them and for $7.95 I'm really happy with it, nice quality. Combo of a Buchner/Old Judge card. Compared to those Helmar cards, this was a steal! I wrote the seller with some player suggestions, so maybe I will get some of those rare Old Judge cards that are out of my price range and never show up anyway :)


Sellers store in case anyone cares http://www.ebay.com/sch/arslongacard...p2047675.l2562

amazing pickup Ken, one of my favs in the entire auction.

This just in ...

Thanks, guys. And nice Deacon, Paul! I'm still workin' on him.

Great job, Ken & Paul!

I am pretty happy with this one.

Nice Paul! :jealous:

Ken - that was the steal of the auction! Great pick-up of some quasi-impossible-to-find contemporary HoFers

Thanks Pete, and more than fair. No phantom low ball offer on these.

nice beater e98's

Email received. And deleted. Repeatedly.

Happy to add these (even with the little pinholes, they are actually pretty nice cards)

You got the Crawford from that lot?:eek:

The envy is boiling over.

Love those E98's Mike.

Nice Cobb bat off! Looking for one of those myself. Cool card.

:D:D:D Finally got my last Matty card for the t205 & t206 sets. Time to move on to the other sets!! Let me know if anyone wants to sell their Matty items :)

I was just looking at that seller and his items a few days ago. I don't know that I would ever buy one, but they do look cool for the $7.95 starting bid. The seller originally came up for me in an "Ed Delahanty" search. Looking at the sold auctions, the cards do seem pretty popular. They seem like a neat item for players like Delahanty, who appear on no cheap cards dating to his playing career.

two more
 

thanks to Doug and AG for the three party transaction; able to add these two to move to 378:

That's sweet! How about the guy sitting up in the tree! :)

Just got this back from SGC...

Nothing unique but a nice T213 Coupon.

Nice!

The smaller half of this duo:

Beautiful card Dave!

T213
 

I had to keep my max bids in the 80% range as I knew there were bidders that drop wild max bids on these. I was able to get Wiltse NY port and more to fill spaces. Halfway to the set now.

Thanks!

Thank you Barry.

That is a stunning piece!

Incredible piece John! What did I tell you about those larger display pieces :D

That's a cool A&G ad piece.

Here are a couple from REA. An n172 and a Van Dyke card (cabinet size, but not a cabinet, a card meant for mass-production...

That is absolutely spectacular. Tremendous pickup!

Best Regards,

This piece will be alot of fun researching and putting names to the faces.

Now this is a great piece! I love these tailor ads. So far the best pickup in this thread IMO. I have the Matty Royal, it's truly spectacular.

Heavens to Betsy!

Even the folks in the stands are looking at the camera! Impressive!

Lou the legend!

Yes, agreed....and a MUCH skinnier Robinson at that! :)

We're Havin' a Good Month
 

Wonkaticket - that poster is amazing! Is it in as good condition as it looks? Those things are pretty brittle. I love it.

And Ken, great negro league PC. I wonder if the dude in the back knew he'd be called a photo bomber 100 years later?

Here's my June acquisition. I always admired JOhn M. Ward and thought he must have been a real smart, well rounded guy. Pitcher, Shortstop, Lawyer, HOFer. Nice career.

Postcard or page from book?

Excited to add these to the collection. I think the blue text of the T-213's is aesthetically superior to the T-206's black font. And the Ewing/Mascot is, in my humble opinion, one of the most unique OJ's. Thanks to a board member for it!

great pick-ups so far this month!

This is my first "legit" Ruth card, although it certainly wouldn't classify as a "rookie card" as it was issued in 1920!!

I was looking at Ruth's stats today...how in the world did he leg out 16 triples in 1921?? Was the defense that shoddy, was he that fast, or were the parks that much larger? That season he had a whopping 44 doubles, 16 triples, AND 59 home runs to go with his 177 runs and 171 RBI's! It's amazing to think that he almost scored as many runs as he knocked in over his career...was it the product of a great lineup behind him or his blazing speed?? He did steal 17 bases that season. Just sayin'.

Derek - love the vibrant colors on that Ruth.
Peter - That Newsboy cab of Ward is fantastic!!

Jimi, Matt, thanks on the A's card.

Peter nice Ward cabinet. Great find. Also, like the postcards.

There are still a lot of hard to find n172 cards for sale in BST. Here are a few more from there...

Those type 3 coupon cigarettes are expensive! In only 5 years, they went up 250% in price (when compared to type 2).

Beautiful card =)

T213-3 Chase port
 

Great find, Chris.

RC, nice pick-up on the Crogan, I wanted that one too!

n172 Crogan
 

Matt, thanks. I was looking for OJ cards that pictured players who at one time played for Houston. Crogan played for the 1890 Houston Mudcats along with Charles Krehmeyer. From what I've read, Krehmeyer is very difficult. If I get ready to get rid of the Crogan I will let you know.

Congrats Chris great card.

Nice cards - Our collecting interest overlap on several types. ;)

Rob - I also collect OJ players that played in Nashville & Krehmeyer played in Nashville as well. He's impossible as I believe there are either 1 or 2 known of his California League card. Have you figured out how many Houston OJ players there might be ? (I have the Nashville count at 27 players)

Picked up this little jewel after patiently waiting 2 years to get it at the right price -

My best pickup in a while...
 

Glad to see this one arrive....

Very nice Travis

Saw this on Ebay and took a chance on it being legit since I couldn't find another like it. Worked out well. T206 Lord with reddish/brown background at the bottom. Not sure how it got like that since they are usually just all blue. The red/brown goes into the shadows on the uniform too, usually it is grey, although the grey is still there too. Maybe someone was having fun at the t206 factory, who knows. I'm probably going to sell it because I don't trust the unknown, reeks of evil

Great cabinet team card, Travis.

On the purple in the T206, since the other main color in the uniform is red, maybe the red mixed with the blue background.

Jeremy, to answer your question about Houston players in n172, I believe I have found four, need to check my notes, but I have only recently begun researching early Houston baseball. I have a few team photos from late 40's early 50's. The oldest Houston team piece I have is a new arrival, a 1931 Houston Buffs team photo featuring Dizzy Dean, Tex Carelton and Ducky Medwick.

Great looking Red Border Jeremy.I had my eye on it.Im glad it went to a board member.

Great Houston photo!

WOW ! :cool: - Love the wide body team shot !

My goal is to pick up at least 1 Series 8 T210 each week and finish off the series (less Joe Jax).

Chris, a Type-3. Excellent pick up. :)
