April 2011 - Pick-up Thread
Just got these back from SGC/JSA this afternoon. A beautiful fountain-pen signed T206 Blackburne. This makes 37 different autographed T206 poses for my collection -- now just 13 short of my near-impossible goal of 50. This is also the only autographed Minor League T206 card I own -- Blackburne and Cravath may be the only ones possible. And it's the only signed Sovereign that I own as well.

This one came from ebay last week. <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/lclhrhKZImA-a2Clb9EG6DiJm_Z5QsNdec5_I7WHZRE?feat=embedwebsite" ><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_Ys7fw31kTDs/TZaJgAQLz4I/AAAAAAAAI8U/lvbblQgsi5c/s800/LivingtonAutoPSADNA.jpg" height="800" width="462" /></a> |

Hey Jeremy, I don't know what that is, but I like it.

Thanks Mike !

Thanks Mike ! The piece is a 1 of 1 Helmar Brewing Art piece. I have bought some odd and end pieces from Helmar Brewing (Charles Mandel) since they started putting out their beautiful art cards a few years back and while it is not vintage, Charles & Team put a lot of work and craftmenship into every piece they make and this die cut cabinet was right up my alley since I collect Nashville/Tennessee Type material/Southern League stuff. The piece measures about 5x6 and has tremendous detail to both the front and back. Also, I like the fact that Charles will not make another like this, so it makes it a bit exclusive. Even though 99% of what I collect is vintage material, I like to stray as a collector... Helmar is creative and brings joy to my collecting. |
Thanks for the info Jeremy, vintage or not I like it too.

same here mike, jeremy those are neat!!

Ralph, this one was purchased with you in mind

Glad at least someone I know got it...

Thanks Guys !
Larry - Mike - Joe,
Thanks for kind words. I find the piece amazing and thought it belonged on our vintage board due to it's relation to T206 poses of those 6 Tn players. By the way, Helmar Brewing just ran a few more similar auctions for the other Southern Leaguer's on Ebay. (Texas & Southern League Stars, Alabama Stars, etc.) The die cut cabinets were very similar to the one I have posted. There was also a Sally Die Cut with Joe on it that went for a strong price. Beautiful artwork... I have scans if anyone wants me to forward them (Or post them) Thanks, JJ |

My Dad called me over to his house and gave me these 2 as a gift. Aren't cards the best gift? The Merkle is an ad back and the Griffith a checklist back. I'll get them graded when I have the cash to do so!

tony,
nice to pick those up from your dad!! it's been 23 years ago on 4/8 that i last spoke to my dad, boy do i miss him!!:( Quote:

Hick Cady 1915 E145-2 Cracker Jack
1 Attachment(s)
This Hick Cady arrived in the mail this morning. It was graded Authentic by SGC which must have scared off a lot of buyers. I can't think of a better card for a lifetime Red Sox fan. The card softens the pain of the "lost weekend" in Texas for this year's Red Sox team.
A boardmember recently picked one up, and I then decided I should have this classic catcher pose card in my collection. Since there are only a handful of PCL cards left on my wantlist, and also only a few more cards on my type card list for the 7 major league catchers I collect, I have started adding a few beautiful examples of other major league players' cards such as the Bill Bergen E101 card as well as this Hick Cady card.

Nice Cady, I happened to just pick up a Cady as well. Very rare Underwood postcard series...

Nice Underwood & Underwood PC
Jeff,
Congrats on picking up the Underwood & Underwood PC. It shows that the image on the Cracker Jack of Cady reflects what he truly looked like. Patrick |
Love that plowboy. Is silly playing on a roof?!
|
That Cady CrackerJack is sweet. Might even consider resubmitting it, worst case it comes back authentic again.

Lajoie with Bat
@Mikehealer - That's a sweet Nap. At a PSA 2, I'm guessing there's some kind of adhesive (or the like) on the back that accounts for the grade. Regardless, a beautiful card.

Jeff and vintagecather, nice Cady pickups.
Jeff: I waffled for a long time on that one in Mears. Nice pickup! Scotty: Thanks for the admiration on the Ramly. I love this issue and getting close to the Sox subset. Here is another one that I just picked up that is just like vintagecather's Cady as It is graded PSA authentic. Regards, Michael |
Big thank you to Brian Terjung

Some of you may not remember post 16 on 1-1-11 in the topic "What would make your 2011"
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...384#post859384 but apparently Brian remembered it & let me know this was available. So a big thanks to Brian, you helped make my 2011 & I owe you one. |
