Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Picked up a couple more E90-1s. Nothing groundbreaking, but I'm plugging along slowly.

Filled a big hole in my NYAL search!

Nice Sean! Great to see you back on a pick up thread. Missed you, how you been?

Nice Joe D. Sean. Would like to add one to the collection someday as well. Congrats.

Thought I would post these here since I don't see a 'track and field' forum. Picked these two 1935 Muratti cards up off the 'Bay - shipped to my mailbox directly from Germany. I had been reading about Jesse Owens and this guy, Ralph Metcalfe, was right there with him in the 1936 Olympics as part of the 4 x 100 meter relay team (Gold Medal) and finishing second in the 100m to Mr. Owens. Sort of the Larry Doby of those Olympics. He won four Olympic medals in two Olympics and served four terms in the US Congress. Quite a life.
Also thought that the photo of him conversing with the German officer was especially poignant given what happens in the '36 Olympics and in Europe in the following years.

Thanks Ryan and Dean. I always liked that card, and I finally found one that I wanted and could afford.

And Ryan, you're right, I've been in a drought. There are some cards that I want, but they either never come up, or else I get outbid when they are available. :(

PS- Nice Ruth.

Killer June pickup that I never posted! Top combo from my want list...

Couple other good ones!

Awesome Jay, congrats!! Those are some killer pickup. See you at chantilly?

Yes, absolutely. I will be there Saturday.

Love that pose too. One of my fave Exhibits of the Bambino (maybe my fave). Congrats on such a great one!!

Arriving Today:
 

Thanks to Jared on BST (and Leon for his advice). This was on my increasingly short shopping list:

Catcher & Batter RPPC
 

Picked up this period RPPC of a batter and catcher.

Patrick

Cobb
 

Just arrived today

My latest pickup, very happy with the centering...

Sweet looking Teddy!! Congrats

Very nice card!

OK, it's not baseball, but for my historical cards collection this has been a major grail so I am breaking the rules to post it. 1922 Felix Potin 3rd series.

But wasn't Renoir one of the artists that worked on the T206 set?

Brian

You're a weirdo. I'd rather have a Felix Potvin card.

Uncultured boor. Or is that redundant.

Awesome pick up, Peter. I love non-sports because I frequently see cards I have not seen previously.

Enjoy the card!

Cool Mathewson.

Brian, nice try, but it was Matisse.

Peasants...
 

..Let them eat Entennmans...

..

I could eat half of one of those at one sitting!! Nothing better than a cream cheese one with a big glass of chocolate milk. Where were we? Oh, pick up thread....here is a new (to me) 1927 Ruth - Hornsby premium...it is approx 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches...

Finally secured a decent copy

WaJo
 

Been wanting this one for a bit, very happy to now have it!

Brian, nice Johnson!
All kidding aside, that’s a really nice Exhibit.

Thanks for appreciating my Johnson Exhibit :rolleyes:

Had to go to another town about 40 minutes from to fill out paperwork for a new job I start on Monday. Decided to hit up a couple of antique stores because I heard they had cards.

Got all these for 50 cents apiece. All I had on me was $5 or else I'd have bought more. No creases, decent centering and corners. Not any stars or HOFers. But total BV for the lot is $54, so I paid right at 10% of BV with tax. So I was happy to walk out with them. A couple are extras, so they will be FT. But I am going back Friday when I get paid to buy more and also buy the vintage football cards too.

Although when she was counting them, she was bending them like playing cards. I said would you mind not bending them. She said oh aren't they just playing cards. I said no, they're collector cards and condition means everything. She said she was only the cashier and didn't realize that and apologized to me. Luckily she didn't bend any enough to crease them.

Brian, that is an awesome Johnson, congrats

Got some new Cobbs today
 

.... the Oxford is in particularly excellent condition :rolleyes:....

Nice Cobbs Brian. You got some tough ones.

And I love that Wajo Exhibits. Such a great pose.

Great pickups Jeff. That Mordecai is amazing!!!

Agreed, congrats Jeff. That Brown is totally amazing and well worth it

Just picked up this 1912 postcard to add to my Matty/Giants collection.

I am more impressed with the Radbourn myself. Amazing image.

Thanks, guys. I'm thrilled with both of these cards.

I really hate to agree with Peter on anything, but, much to my chagrin, I must agree that the Radbourn image is pretty sweet. Mordecai is pretty nice too

Paul, that is about as cool looking a team PC as you will find.

Great cards Jeff.

Three nice, new Tolstois :) ..... Finally able to add a few Cycle 460s (Luke usually buys them all ;)) ..... and a surprisingly tougher EPDG :cool: ....

Fun Stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Happy to have picked up a nice yellow second base T205 Hoffman from a fellow board member. Thanks a lot Andy!

Went antiquing with a buddy of mine today. Found these 2 at one of the stops. Paid $10 for the Mantle and $1 for the Paige. Not much, I know, but I thought they were pretty neat.

Ryan, that Babe Exhibit is a real beaut! ;)

I love the Campy Greg! Nice pick up!!! Such a big star in the 50's.....

Assistant
 

You don’t see too many Assistant Manager cards.
Pretty neat!

Thanks Lou! An underrated star, I'd argue. Can't get enough of his cardboard.

Box of Bowmans
 

Oops wrong area. Please delete.

Anytime you can get a Mantle in decent shape for $10 it's definitely been a good day. Nice pickup!

Chantilly pickup...

T207 Tex Erwin
 

Picked up a real nice Tex Erwin T207 from the recent Sterling Sports Auction.

Thanks Lee!

Patrick

Nice Bender!! Wow!

I picked up this one to add to my WaJo pile.

Thanks Jim, I agree! And Andrew, that is a great looking Bender; I saw it at Baggers booth and I know it looks even better in person.

Got this at Chantilly - was happy to acquire this in trade for some prewar stuff I never should have bought

Not my usual era, but these are my most recent auction wins.

Wow, great card Ryan!

Picked this up this week using my eBay Bucks:

One of the best pitchers of the era and the manager he feuded with, leading to him leaving MLB. And my first Holsum Bread card featuring another HOF near-miss.

Thanks, Ryan! Likewise, your photo does not do the Cobb justice. The color, registration and centering are very nice. Sounds like it was a good trade for you.

Been looking to get this card for a couple of years.
Over 100 years old yet still flexible in the middle.

Break time over, here are a few new cards in my collection
