Tough card! Nice snag on the Speaker!

Finally picked up this Jimmie Foxx rookie.

Nice Foxx Paul!

To me the E90-1 Speaker is the toughest of the big name Hall of Famer E90-1 cards, so indeed a great snag, and nice looking to boot!

Brian

Thanks Eric. Beautiful Cobbie Ben!!

Looks great, Ben. Congrats ...on one of my 3 favorite cards in the hobby.

Ben, let's see that reverse! :)

Thanks everyone. Back posted.

Leon, the t205 set is definitely at the top of my prewar enjoyment. It goes well with my photos as well. Thank you!

Not in the greatest shape but the price was right.Attachment 343444

Super excited to get this in the mail today, especially after forgetting to bid on the Kotton a few weeks ago. Thanks again Pete!

Just picked this up

Is it normal now for SGC to not include the player's name on the flip anymore?

Nice pick up nonetheless.

Yeah, that’s weird right? Just “throwing”... has to be a mistake they didn’t put it.

Bought this from a seller in Louisiana. This might have been its first trip out of the state in 100 years.

T206 Cobb Green Portrait
 

Was finally able to replace the SGC 40 that I always regretted selling, and its subsequent placeholder, with a nicely centered copy. Probably going to be sending this one in for review since SGC wasn't doing half grades back when this one was slabbed.

Very pretty and centered example. Congrats!

Thank you sir!

Beauty Dan, congrats! I got my green Cobb about 9 years ago, a centered PSA2, but with some stained borders. Now that prices are where they are, I really wish I’d ponied up the couple hundred extra it would’ve taken back then to a cleaner 2 or a 3.

Thanks Ian! Hope all is well!

Not sure how it got that plastic casing around it, unless PSA sent a team to do on-site grading in Louisiana...cool find, nonetheless!

1936 R-311 Premium from National Chicle ; the Brooklyn Dodgers from this set is also just as scarce ; the Boston Braves with Babe Ruth is the toughest to find.

..

T213 Elberfeld
 

Nice type 3 Glenn...Jerry

Got a fun little pickup for my "Providence" collection. I've seen many auction listings that mislabel the T206 Hof(f)mans, Morans, and Shaws, but this is the first I've gotten with the wrong name on the flip.

Congrats Dan! That’s a great 2! Great card Brian!

Nice premium, MikeG, with the Waner Bros.

Nice green Cobb.

Trifecta!
 

I picked up all three of these cards at the post office this morning from recent eBay purchases.

Picked up a sharp Jimmy Archer M116 Sporting Life with a 300 subjects back.

Also picked a cool 1915 Ivy Wingo Cracker Jack.

Lastly, I grabbed a Lou Ritter T206 because it has contrast in the pink background whereas my current example has no contrast just a flat pink background on the top half of the card.

Nothing major, just a tougher Sov.150, to replace a 350 ...... ;)

Love that R315 Foxx. The W517 Ruth is cool too. Nice grabs.

Thanks guys

One of the Black Sox to mark their 100 year anniversary:

Great pick ups so far- too many to mention, but especially the t206s and the Gandil Green-Joyce

These are paid for/checks in the mail, but none are in hand yet... (I can’t get the Crofts Cocoa backpic to post, but it has a clean back)

Well, this appears to be all pre-war cards but I'm going to post my weekend pickup anyhow.
Was actually picking up some junk wax when I asked if there were any other packs at a LCS. Pulled out a few including this one. Wasn't looking for vintage packs but can't pass them up when they are a good deal!! The front of the case needs a good wipe down but otherwise I'm pretty pumped!

Wow --- nice!!!!!

OMG :eek:

oops, wrong thread...

Holy, well, I don't want to cuss. But the word starts with an "f." Ryan, you're killin' me.

It appears to be all prewar because it is the prewar section. No offense meant, but there is another section all about post war cards.

Great stuff Ryan as always! LOVE the Old Mill Matty!

Ryan
 

Unbelievable haul Ryan!!!....I agree with Ed on both counts.......Jerry

Thank you Leon!

I'm relatively new to the board, and only recently back in the hobby for the last year. My goal for 2019 has been to go full-bore on my very small but growing Chicago Cubs HOF collection. For all pre-WWII Cubs HOF'ers, my goal is to have at least one original card of each player in a Chicago uniform. I figured Cap Anson to be one of the more expensive acquisitions, and frankly have never spent this much on a single card! The rest of the collection will seem much easier to acquire after this one (with the exception of King Kelly's Chicago N172 Old Judge - that one is hard to locate).

It's been a busy few days on eBay. :eek:

Cap Anson - 1887 N28 Allen & Ginter
Jim "Hippo" Vaughn - 1916 M101-5 Sporting News
Hack Wilson - 1931 W517
Rogers Hornsby - 1931 W517

Mail day today. A HUGE thank you to Wilson. Could not have asked for a better transaction. He answered every question and package arrived quickly, safe and sound. Thank you Wilson!

Fantastic group of cards there Brandon. Congrats!

Nice pick ups Brandon, love the Anson

T206
 

Picked up these two...

Nice Ryan! Wow... love that wrong back Wagner!!

Ryan, did you forget REA opens in less than a month, or are you just getting warmed up? :eek: Love the cocoa Cobb; great pose, tough back and really tough to find in that condition.

E145-1s
 

Picked up the Hooper a while ago just never scanned it in. Just got the Brown at the Tristar show Sunday.

Todd, that Green-Joyce Gandil is my kinda card - a truly-rare, real-photo card. Congrats!

Ryan, every time I see your pickups, I think there is now way that your encores will surpass them - then, your encores usually do! Congrats! I am more and more looking forward to your second "DC area Net54 Show & Tell" that I hope and believe you are planning to organize in the not-too-distant future, because I can't wait to see your new gems up close and personal.

Thanks all for the kind words- I am total cardboard junky.

Dean, great looking HOF example (as always); Brian, awesome month so far; Brandon, looking forward to seeing more posts - Go Badgers!!

These monthly pick up threads are my favorites on the board. Great stuff fellas.

No offense taken. This thread was on the Homepage so I thought it was inclusive to all pickups.

Ryan, if you stopped right now, you would have had a great year.

Brian, those are two mice pick ups, congrats.

Dean, your 100% correct about Wilson, class act. Nice Matty...I picked up his Speaker, looks much better in hand.

Outside of Ruth and Gehrig, Exhibits still seem fairly inexpensive given the supply. On a whim bought this one.

Nice Collins, Peter. Exhibits and W517s are a very reasonable avenue for HOFers.

Agree, sweet Collins. Hes not known for a lot of attractive cards. This is one of my favorites.

Chuck, great Speaker!
