February Pickups
 

I've never started one of these but I did pick up an interesting trade card today with an albumen image of the 1878 Buffalo Bosons, one of the greatest minor league teams ever. The 1878 Bisons won the International Association and had a winning record against National League teams(10-7). They joined the National League the following season. They featured a young Pud Galvin who compiled a record (hold on to your hat Old Hoss) of 72-25.

wow...very nice pickup!

Agreed.
Nice.

Thanks for whipping out your Pud and showing it to us.

Sorry...couldn't resist.

I picked up this for my Koufax collection:

I was not aware that you could even have a qualified 1. What is that, double secret probation for cards?

Nice Bisons pickup

My first Lenox and probably only one.

Wow!, an amazing piece. Congrats Jay, very, very nice indeed.

Great way to start the pickup thread for February! Love the Lenox, Luis!

Agreed on this, Adam! There is a flaw in the logic of adding qualifiers to PSA 1s. Dean Wormer must have taken a job with PSA. Nice card nonetheless. --tim

I like it. It lets me know the card is a 1 and has one of the flaws that earns a qualifier. The more info the better right?

Very nice.

Jay, congrats on the Bisons trade card and the Cal McVey photo. Truly spectacular pieces!

Great pickup on the Lenox! And a nice example too

Thanks guys. This is the second 1878 Buffalo trade card that has been found, as far as I know. The first had a green mount, was trimmed, and had different ads.

A Long-Awaited Upgrade!!
 

I've been looking for this one for several years:

Jay- Nice pick up on the Buffalo trade card. As mentioned in a post, did you pick up a Cal McVey image, also?

Hi Gary! Yes, I posted an image of the McVey and Leonard CdVs I picked up in the January thread

Terrific photo, Turner. That's Ruth's sister Mamie Moberly, is it not?

E106 Wagner
 

Went all in for this one including selling my 1951 Bowman Mantle. :eek:
Thanks to everyone who purchased from me this past month for allowing me to secure the funds for my first Wagner! Highest graded of the 14 slabbed by PSA

Nice Wagner! ^^^^ Congrats!

Jay, great trade card. It's condition is incredible. I have never seen that color before either. I have seen two green examples. Lipset auctioned the one on the left and I bought the other one in the 1995 Rucker sale and traded it away sometime afterwards.

Great looking card, congrats!!

That's great Kevin. So the one without the trimmed corner has the same ads as mine. The back on mine is undamaged. I've heard that there was a similar trade card made for the Troy team, but I have not seen an image.
It is interesting to note that Bill McGunnigle, who is featured in the Old Judge set as the manager of Brooklyn, was a player on the 1878 Buffalo squad.

Nice Card !!!
 

Resembles one I used to own !!!

Great Wagner Dan!

Picked this up in the latest greatest LOTG Auction. I traded mine last year and I am happy to have an example back in my collection for a very fair price too IMO

First I must say a huge thanks to Brian McQueen, who held this for me for a lot longer than most people would, just so I could get a tough card for my Dots Miller collection. I didn't know this Orange Borders card even existed until I saw his listing and I was told that there aren't any graded, so it was probably a one shot deal to acquire this card and Brian went above and beyond to help me get it

Dots nice, John (and Brian)! :D

Wow! Great start to January! Jay - you're on fire this year!! Last year must have been nice too with the Cambridge Collection!

Double Awesome
 

Awesome :eek:

Awesome :eek:

My first non graded T206.

Just picked up this one......

nice

Thanks guys :D

My god is February on fire so far. It's amazing what people actually score month to month. I wish I had some deeper pockets

A huge thanks to Rhett for this 1920 D327 Holsum Bread with the Type 1 back which arrived today to complement the 1921 D327 Holsum Bread with the Type 2 back that I won in the December SCP Auction. My OCD pursuit of all variations of all Edgar Charles "Sam" Rice cards continues!
Val

Sovereign kinda mood im in

Congrats Dan, awesome awesome pick up!

Thanks Ian!

Another T206 and T207
 

Glad to add this Livingston T207 (Small "C") and this Fred Payne T206. Thanks to Sean for the Payne T206.


Patrick

I received these in the mail yesterday.

A little oddball, but I get anything with his name on it

I just received this Cobb from another net54 member. My first Cobb card.

Congrats Jesse, nice card!

Thanks Dan, awesome Wagner! A little out of my league for now but I'm looking to add a cheaper Wagner soon.

Thanks Jesse. It's out of my league also to be honest...I had to sell some great cards to make it happen. Luckily they are all replaceable and that's what it came down to.

JUST A COUPLE OF EDs

Scored a couple more coupons for my collection the other night. This lil collection is moving along pretty quick.

Congrats Jesse! I've been collecting so long I forget how special and fun it really is when you acquire a 100 year card of one of the greatest baseballers ever. Especially the first one. Congrats again. -peter

Nice going Jesse. Good luck with those Coupons. :)

Thanks man, not my main focus but they are more available than my Goudey's and t201's haha

Thanks, I have a few cards from this era but this was my first big name HOFer. I was pretty excited to get it. I think it's amazing that someone pulled it out of a pack of cigarettes over 100 years ago and it's still survived this long.

These two arrived today, made a cold snowy day warmer. Sorry they're a bit blurry, I haven't figured out how to get clear scans of SGC slabbed cards with my scanner.

My goodness! Beauties!

Haven't posted in a bit... really happy with these.

The Boston Braves card always seems to be a toughie from the T200 set - happy to pick one up in any condition!

Just A Nice '33 GOUDEY:
 

First 2 of February

1935 Goudey Ruth and friends
 

Long awaited addition...not the most desirable to some, but a favorite of mine.
http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=17299

Beautiful Goudey. Congrats! :D:D:D

Jason,
Thats a very nice Ruth for that grade, congrats!

Tough f/b combo. Kind of makes me dizzy.

My mailbox smiled at me today
 

Davis M116 Sporting Life

Glad to knock these two off the list.

Thanks Ron

That's a good one, Jesse - Congrats!

Fatima T222 Catcher Pose Subset completed
 

Finally finished a small subset project. Thanks to Andy N. for this Jack Lapp T222 Fatima card.

I now have the 4 "catching pose" cards in the set: Archer, Lapp, McLean, and Schang. All 4 present well!

Patrick

Patrick, what about John Henry, the Washington Senators catcher? I believe he is one of the toughest T222 short prints to obtain. Here's the link to the OC web site where you can see a pic of this card: http://www.oldcardboard.com/t/t222/t222gal.asp
Val

John Henry also spent time at first base
 

Hi Val,

John Henry split time between catching and 1st base. His T222 looks like he has a smaller 1st basemen's mitt on to me.


Patrick

Patrick, I wasn't aware that Henry ever played 1st base. But, I just now checked baseball-reference.com, and I see that he played both positions during the first 2 years (1910 & 1911) of his MLB career, and catcher only during his last 7 years (including 1914, the year the T222s were issued). Re Henry's T222 card, I think he is holding a catcher's mitt, but have no expertise re vintage mitts. BTW, nice accomplishment!!
