August pickups
I find it surprising that nobody started a new pickup thread yet. After all, there is a somewhat significant show being held this weekend.
Let's see some new acquisitions, fellas. Best regards and happy collecting, Eric |

Thanks to Jeff for the t206's =)
Nice EPDG run you have going there. I was going to offer to help you out but I only have a Burchell as my sole EPDG but you already have it anyway. And another member posted the 52 Pierce and the card looked amazing so thought I'd add one to my collection seeing as I'm a Sox fan. |
Jeff and Josh....
great pick ups!!!
jeff, have you come across any "F" stamped epdgs???? I have been tracking the f scott fitz's....a lot on epdg:) |

Some guy I never heard of but pretty sure he didn't play for the Reds.

Really want to thank Sean1125 for thinking of me when this card came across his radar. It graded out at the show the other day. I've owned higher technical grades of this card, but this one is far and away my favorite and the keeper of all of them, due to its registration/focus. I love the colors and image on the '41 PlayBall Joe D, and how it represents his hallowed accomplishment that year. But it always seems the damn thing has ghostly halo effects around the top border line, his shoulder, his bat, and especially round the face-- rendering it so blurry. Thanks, Sean. Finally a '41 PB Joe D that I can look at without feeling like I've had a few too many cocktails-- cheers!

Someday I WILL get a scanner, but thanks to fellow board member Glynn Parsons for making it possible for me to acquire a 1913-1915 Pinkerton Christy Mathewson at the National. One of just two graded by PSA, and none graded by SGC. Thanks also to Leon for his expert advice as to the likely number in existence (you guys know I like 'em RARE) and avoiding the one graded "authentic" (poor eye appeal that even the scorecard back couldn't make up for in my eyes) in favor of Glynn's much better card!
Plus, purchased a very nice, well-centered 1934 Gold Medal Flour Dizzy Dean (a set issued to commemerate the '34 World Series) in PSA 3. To me, it represents the NL's last 30 game winner in his best season (Dean was 30-7 that year, with a 2.66 ERA, and led the league in strikeouts when there weren't that many of them with, I believe, 195, in a year when the league's ERA was 4.06). Fabulous pitcher before hurting first his toe and then his shoulder when he tried to come back too soon. Best wishes, Larry |

Only picked up a few things at National, these being the most interesting. :)
Side note, I really need to work on scanning rather than taking bad phone photos of cards... Cheers, Steve |

It's alright. It's not as though I'm going to run out of cards to spend my money on.

More from Jeff don't get the 2 on this Quillen at all :eek:
He's always been on my list as he played with the hitless wonders though he didn't play in the series and didn't last long. |

My collecting funds are limited so anytime I am able to add a pre-war HOFer it is cause for a celebration. |

More nice ones Bryan!
It's been a great week for me. Added a bunch of nice cards for my 150-350 run with some tough backs sprinkled in, including a Jennings portrait with full names on top and bottom. Also added my new favorite card! |
