May Pick Up Thread
 

Been a long time since I got to start a month.

1954 Red Heart Mantle

Brown Town
 

General rule of brown backs is that if you have to ask if your back is brown, it isn’t.

Fortunately I’m not asking.

Alright! I'm sure you are so stoked right now.

My collection is no longer 'Ruth'less.

Edited 5/2:

Well, there have been almost 800 views of this thread now and I was wondering if someone might have made comment questioning this image (some of you may just have remained mute out of kindness) but it is actually an 1860's English cricket player. I guess it just goes to show how close the look of the players were during that early stage of base ball. I couldn't even tell myself except after looking at the ball a little closer (ok, well, that and the English photographer notated at the bottom of the image and on the back:)).

It reminds me a great deal of the Hoboken Benefit image of Harry Wright in his cricket uniform (not mine):

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Nice Scott - and a Howe McCormick sighting to boot!

T202 Chief Meyers T202 subset complete
 

Thanks to Lee at Sterling Sports Auction for helping me complete the 10 card Chief Meyers T202 subset. Chief Meyers has the most T202s with 10 different cards in the T202 set.

Lots of backs so far! Lenox, Howe stamp...and now I get to add a blue back that arrived today.

A very big thank you to DJ for giving me the heads up on this one!

(If anybody has another blue back Matty to share, I'd love to see a scan.)

Cheers,
Steve

Nice, I was Watching that

Congrats Tyler! Very nice Ruth.

Beautiful

Just this so far:

Many great-looking, classic cards out of the May gate.

Just got these babies scanned and in-hand today; Cobb was a bump, so not entirely new; the '57 auto is one of my favorite pieces ever.

Beautiful color on those Matty’s, Frank.

The Goudey #144 Ruth is, in my opinionated opinion, one of the best baseball cards ever. Your's is a peach.

I can never quite decide if I'm selling off or buying up Polar Bears, but I now own one more than I did yesterday.

1910 Hogan Obak & George Graham T205 Black AB back
 

Received these 2 cards in the mail today.

One of my favorite Obaks, Hap Hogan (Vernon). Have 2 1911s already and now have a 1910. Background color slightly different on each one.


Patrick

Nicely done, Leon!

Okay, I guess I'm adding them.
 

One Polar Bear at a time

Mr. Kruger always reminds me of Alfred E. Newman of Mad Magazine fame.

Just started collecting the T206 HOFs, and these are 3 of my most recent with a few more on the way.

Pretty strong resemblance for sure.

I love those Piedmont Stamps. Great Art work.

1934 butterfinger mel ott

National Indian Baseball Team rppc...

May Pickups
 

t206 Kaiser Wilhelm with a fun color shift.

Great card Leon. I am hoping to pick up a 19th century mascot card one day soon myself.

e107 plank which has been on my list for years and a t227 cobb from ebay a few weeks back. I will say that as much crap as we give ebay, they still have some really good stuff here and there...

Attachment 315004

Pete that is an awesome Plank. Would love to add a Plank to my collection with that iconic pose!

Thank you very much! The e95 is arguably just as nice and way more affordable - but I agree, an iconic pose.

Great Plank Pete. I was looking hard at that one myself. Glad you got that and I got the Wags Nadja. Looks like we have similar tastes; I dont know if our taste is good or bad, but similar....

T205 Tom Needham
 

Thrilled to ugrade my T205 Tom Needham with this green American Beauty back.

Patrick

Very Nice AB. Is it a SGC 4-4.5?

:D

Nice card. Its crazy to think one would want a 5 for more $ when you could have this one. Super nice pickup

Signed T206 "Doc" White
 

Extremely happy to pull this card into my collection - thanks Steiner Auctions! This would be the 45th different T206 pose I have autographed. About 10 years ago, I said that 50 would be my lifetime goal -- just five away now, but man it is getting harder and harder to find new ones!

Thanks! My thoughts exactly! :)

7/7 known R322 Zeke Bonuras
 

My seventh Zeke Bonura back variation arrived yesterday. That sheet's complete!

Not sure if I am going to hold onto this one or not. First one I have ever seen signed from this set.

Why not

Blue Crofts
 

Used the most recent eBay 15% sale along with a Best Offer to pick this up... :)

Hi Ryan,

Said the same thing and I just picked up a coupon too from ebay (PWCC)! My first one.

Love the card Joshua

Thanks Dave. This is only my fourth tobacco card.

Never expected this
 

I am still in disbelief I got this one. It was never on my want list because I just thought it was to scarce to ever attain. Overjoyed to add it to my collection.

Troy

Great card, congrats

and lots of great cards already this month, guys. Leave some powder in the keg for later too :)....

That card is awesome! I need to make more money!

Ebay pick up 1935 Goudey "8-in-1" which I thought was a fun item $17.80 delivered.

WOW, I was underbidder on the Joe by a longshot. It was only at 7k around dinner time and was thinking it was a STEAL. I had a snipe in place.
Well, it did meet the last price point of the other '2' that sold last year in HA.
Glad, its in the Net54 family.

Just can't resist centered T206's with nice full borders.

An image of George "Candy" La Chance while playing for Montreal. Along with a couple more scarce images Jack McAleese and Mike Mowery

I never should have sold my e95 cobb in the first place...but...this one is a minor upgrade. So glad to have it back in the stable!

#44 & 45, slowly nibbling away

nice pickups...that wags!!!!! MY KINGDOM FOR A NADJA MILLER!!!!!!!

Nice E95 Cobb Pete! Been looking to add that one to my collection one day.

DJ, great Wags Nadja. Congrats, I know you needed that one. Now, if you ever come across an extra one in the throwing pose....

Great Cobb Pete.

A Cobb, followed by a rare back Wagner, can’t beat that. And those photos from 1905 - gotta love the flower bed on the field, was that the batter’s circle?

Congrats, DJ!

Nice cards, y'all. Here's a new one...

RCMcKenzie, do you have a pick of all your t213-1s? I would love to see that

Really like that Candy LaChance image, Scott!:cool:

Oh dear, now I want one! Great pickup!

Hey Rob,
Welcome back!
Steve

Thanks Kevin!

This and many more came from the remains of the Kermisch collection. I was familiar with it, having handled a few for sale last year. When the bulk of it was offered in REA I could not wait to get it. There were only a few images and a barren description of what it contained with no listing of the players.

I now know where they originate from, another important piece to the puzzle. Originally I was going to break it up by player and other small groups. Now I don't think I can do so, given the historical importance it may need to stay together.

In the future I will scan them all and document the entire group.

Very happy to add a second overprint T210 to the collection. Thank you Brian for working with me on this one.

From a couple years ago ... he's since picked up Mr. Hickman I believe

Very impressive!

Super nice Cobb Pete. Congratulations

That's a beauty. Congrats

Thank you Robert!

Those photos are crazy cool. Can you spare me the suspense and let me know if George Gibson (with Montreal the first half of 1905) is in that group of photos? That'd be so awesome...

Regards,

Richard.
