March Pickups...
 

The typical date shuffling in this hobby(most notably the w560 and E210 type 2's, now being considered later releases), has left this one in line for Rookie Card consideration(MLB-wise, at least)

Looks like that severe beater Banks RC reset my habits back towards the HOF RC chase..:) Gotta love hobby ADD...

Somehow, my first pre-war pickup of the year..

upgrade
 

Had/have a nice common....should mention a thanks to Toby on this one....and our BST

Jusr showed up in the mail...

Very cool "art stamp" Leon, I didn't even know those things exist! Learn something new every day (on these boards)...

For the second time in the last couple of months, some prewar beauties have walked-in to my favorite shop and the owner gave me first dibs. I couldn't pass on these two. I love the Feller, and it's my first Goudey "heads-up." Enjoy!

Leon, I'm really liking those stamps...maybe I'll have to pick up one soon :)

Steven, some of those CJ poses are awesome...great pickup, man.

Beautiful Feller! That is one nice example :eek:

Great Feller, I love that set.

Put a bid on this one this morning and was lucky to win it for a good price.

Sorry for the eBay pic

I've always liked this image - happy to own it now!

'28 Yuengling
 

Just picked this one up today.

wanted one for a long time, finally found a high grade that I thought was a fair value.

Love that image Scott. One of my favorite cards. Someday, I will own 1.

pickups
 

great pickups everyone! More 1914 CJs

I love Saturday mornings opening the week's mail.

Just got it ; Fabian Gaffke ..... I will greatly appreciate any advice from those of you who have previous experience cleaning the surface of a glossy-finish 1930's photo/card . This is 1 Worch Cigar premium , probably 1935.

The edges/borders at some places had been protected somewhat and you can still see a bit of the original bright white shiny surface .

It sort of looks like just normal airborne grime and perhaps cigarette smoke , and exposure to a lifetime hung on a wall....a few spots that almost look like mold.?

I'll show it again as a '' before and after '' if I have any success restoring the surface but at any rate I need to put it on Tim N.'s thread about the ''Worch Cigar Project'' since there is no Gaffke in any condition currently there. I don't think there's a lot of these around anymore , except for Leon's two SGC 80's.

If this was pertaining to me, I have a regular Worch Mack in a psa 5 holder, unless I am forgetting or missing something. (nice pick up btw)

These are a few pickups from this past year that I just got around to scanning.

Leon- that Rube Art Stamp is awesome, I've always loved that image of him (same as T205).

Nice pickups everyone!

I was very excited to get this one, a pretty tough front/back combination-thank you Jantz!!

Sincerely, Clayton

Congrats Clayton....big card, love the apple backs.

Thanks Chris!! I'm very grateful Jantz was willing to part with it for me. And very excited to have it!

Sincerely, Clayton

Clayton, what a sweet card and the appeal for a 1.5 is amazing...congrats!

Thanks Mike! I agree, and appreciate the kind words! :)

Sincerely, Clayton

The images on your cards are really nice. I like seeing Old Judge images with a lot of contrast.

Picked up another awesome T210 today from an awesome board member.

Not the coolest issue, but highest graded and very underrated player.

Another Obak Seal and another Duffy, this one a plain old Piedmont off the BST (thanks Matt).

Oscar Stanage T205
 

Picked up this Oscar Stanage T205 recently with an OC Honest Long Cut back.

Many years ago I purchased a rough T205 Stanage, which I bought on Martha's Vneyard of all places. He was the first T205 I ever bought.




Patrick

Great snag--I was just under you.
 

Did you win any of the Greenbergs out of that listing Sunday night ? He had THREE !!

Paleocards, that Klein is gorgeous!

Clayton, congrats on the Nap pickup. One of my very favorites from the entire set.

t206 HOFer "5s" seem very hot right now... my hangup is centering, so this one passed muster easily...

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1393857127

Thanks to a board member for a smooth trade.

Not quite cards, and also a slight departure from my typical rookie hunt. Unless you count Slaughter on the Cardinals supplement.. I can never pass on a nicely priced DiMaggio item...

picked this up to pair with the Gehrig... between these 2 and the Black swamp wagner, I think my month/quarter of purchases may be over :D

Steven,
Thanks for the kind words.

Greg,
Sweet Bender!

Very nice choice for your first. Congrats!

Congrats on winning Sean's contest. Very nice card!

;)

Thanks Luke!

Thanks everyone!

Not a card but a really cool photo!
 

Picked this up in the February RMY auction and arrived yesterday! Thought it was pretty cool.

The red borders are a good looking set.

U best be Pickin it up
 

Lotsa collar popping in these three :)

Love the Jones! Also good to see another tennessee (assuming) in the hobby.

Beautiful cards.....
 

great cards guys! Clayton....:eek:....great pick up, from another great collector;)

I bought these because I was nearly certain they were sheet mates.
Harder to tell from my scans but each is not only mis-cut but is cut at a slight angle. Also and again hard to see, but there is a smidgen of the "3" on Veach's far right edge and the same amount missing from Viox:

http://photos.imageevent.com/imoverh...uge/img762.jpg
http://photos.imageevent.com/imoverh.../huge/Viox.jpg

Alas, it appears I should have looked more closely and/or measured them, because their different length indicates they were probably not together--although they sure do fit hand in glove:
http://photos.imageevent.com/imoverh...uge/img763.jpg

I suppose it's possible that the cards were cut from the sheet in vertical strips and then cut horizontally, which could account for them being different lengths. Hmmm, I'd never considered that. Thoughts?

Happy to add a T206 Cy Young - I can deal with the issues on the front when the Piedmont back has a little number "42" on the factory line....

Earl Moore Phillies RPPC
 

Picked this nice postcard up of Phillies pitcher Earl Moore, CYKO back.

wow, nice Jim!

An anonymous board member came across this Armbruster earlier in the week, and today it was reunited with the others. Thanks, Anonymous.

A note from Anonymous
 

When I asked about putting their name with the scan during an email exchange, this was the response ...

Hi Ed,
Just say that it came from an anonymous board member. Keep em guessing!

Mystery and intrigue. What makes card collecting great. Thanks to Anonymous and everyone else on the board for their help with my project.

I've picked up a few cards the past few weeks. I won't post them all, but here are some of the highlights.

Fantastic image on that York Heilmann, Adam!

Couple of new t206s, which again reflect my accent on centering....first from Leon, 2nd via eBay...

Old Hoss...
 

Radbourn... AKA "bird flipper"

Not as sharp as many of the clean/crisp OJ images I've seen posted here, but I'm psyched to finally have an example of the one and only Old Hoss. He's been on my want list for a while now. Now time for the always fun visit to his Baseball Reference page.

T206s - this forum is a dangerous place
 

This forum is a dangerous place - here are my pickups from today's show - thanks Tony - you are a Monster at helping me work on my Monster!

My first Cracker Jack
 

Here is a picture of my first Cracker Jack, and not to take this into a different direction but I won the CJ from a Probstein auction and I didn't have to pay my high bid. I was hoping I could smell the caramel on the card but no luck.

And Signed Even .

He looks pretty dirty to be posing for a picture , but hey , he's the Fordham Flash....

1931 Metropolitan Studios ; fountain pen autograph ; I think it's from the period .

great Flash... Mike!

Picked up this Buck Weaver last night. Been looking for one for a while and thought the price was right:

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...psd6d0a5a0.jpg

Great card.

Back Stamps...up to five of these!
 

I don't usually grab T206's...unless they have my favorite back stamp...I live to think the cards present MUCH better than thier technical grade, too!

If you have any of these lying around...I am interested in picking them up!

1915 Honus Wagner & Doc Johnston and a BF2 Mordecai Brown...



http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/r...psc856f2ff.jpghttp://i488.photobucket.com/albums/r...ps102bd389.jpg

Honus from the tough E106 series - condition is decent compared to many 1's I've seen around!

Mike,

Nice pickups. The monster's draw can be quite strong.

T205 #'s 31 & 32
 

Picked these up recently, too...

Love me T205's...

Snagged up my 8th 38 Goudey this weekend thanks to freakhappy(didnt put his name incase he didnt want me too), anyway great card to add to the set and i highly recommend working some deals with him very fast shipping and the packaging was great.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...8/IMG_3780.jpg

Nice Wags

A couple of nice supplements
 

I try and pick these up from time to time when I see them in good shape--these are from the first year; in fact, Bresnahan was the first issued(that area of white in the "clouds" is actually part of the photograph as adapted for the supplement and is not staining):

Thanks - I love that a wagner that is much scarcer than the T206 can sell for less than 1% of the price of the t206. Works for me to buy ones like this one!

14 CJ Smith
 

Happy with this one . . .

Nice CJ

it arrived!
 

I already posted it once, but FedEx just knocked on the door, and it was here. more fantastic in person

That is a great card.

Beautiful card Joe......I wish FedEx dropped cards off like this when they knock on my door :D

joe...crazy to see how big those borders really should be!!!
