November Pickups
 

Well, I guess I'll go again. 1923 Zeenut Waner. Sorry for the small picture, I took it from the e-bay listing.

Congrats Ed. I’ve always liked that card.

I have been blessed lately. Just won these and don’t have them in hand quite yet.

Sweet Pirate booty, right thar.

Sweet Waner... wish I'd seen it!

I should be receiving this one soon from REA.

Glad you didn't!:D. Foxx sure had a great signature, didn't he? Very cool.

Hey Jon, Did you win the '08 Pirate Vignette lot from the latest Hunt Auction?
(Nice pick ups BTW)

Thanks. No I was an underbidder on it. Would have liked those but with my pickups recently I had to hold back

I thought I had put in a good bid on them. Only really wanted the Gibson. Had to tap out early too.

congrats. great price too. was watching, but already have one!

Finally,
a bid that held up.
Been wanting one of these for a while.

Really nice Gehrig!

Received these yesterday...
 

I had posted these in REA thread but since I rec'd them yesterday, posting here too. I hope you don't mind. Last time I owned an e121 Ruth, I had 2 in nice condition. Sold them both for $500. And now, 25 years later - gulp!

A few Obaks. All but one of these previously resided in SGC 2,3, or 4 holders. They now look stellar in my binder. Love these things! I got distracted for a while, but I am back at the Obaks and am up to fifty something.

.

Great stuff Aaron! Love the E121!

This came today, lightning fast shipping from REA. Pretty excited about this one. Has anyone ever seen another? C. 1925-1926 RPPC. REA states it has never seen another and believes the man behind the automobile wheel to be Brother Matthias. From pictures I've seen it certainly is! Check out photo bellow I found, must have been taken same day and time of Ruth and Brother Matthias next to the automobile. The other player is Fred Merkle (smoking cigar) who was only with the Yankees those 2 years.

REA didn't name anyone else in the picture. Can anyone else confirm or have guesses as to other people in the image? Is the woman Helen Woodford Ruth? I believe it is but would like a bit more confirmation. I feel like the guy next to woman with open suit top and striped tie looks familiar but maybe not (possibly a player?)... Can anyone name the other priests, or confirm that this is likely in front of St. Marys Industrial School?

Also does anyone know of Brother Matthias being on any other card or postcard?

I've wanted a vintage photo or any type of collectible of Brother Matthias now for some time and think I may have just found one of, if not the top one!

The image quality is spectacular!

Other known pictures of Helen at bottom

Love that Roush Brian!

Thank you, Erick.

WOW...amazing piece!

Thanks Pete

Great Pirate Pickups! Shiver me timbers, indeed! :eek:

Erick, the Ruth postcard is amazing!

Thanks Andrew!

The double chin confirms it's Helen Woodford Ruth.

Busy month so far. Great pick ups all!

1934 Gehrigs are popular with guys named Chris this month :) Always loved this pose and was lucky to find this one and get it...

Beautiful Gehrig, Chris!

Gibby's buddy. Mr. Tommy Leach

Great haul, Aaron, the E125 Collins is one terrific card. Likewise, the Matty, who looks like he recently converted to the Jewish faith.

Great pickups for everyone and looks like November might be the start of the Christmas season. Here are some early pickups. Special thanks to a board member who was willing to part with this special Otsego RPPC after having it for 37 years.

Chief Meyers BF2 Pennant
 

Picked up a pristine Chief Meyers BF2 from Clean Sweep Auctions.

Patrick

Donahue T204
 

Went to the Shriner's show yesterday. Traded off some duplicates and picked up another T204 catcher. The card was misidentified by PSA as Jiggs (John) Donahue. The card is actually Patrick Donahue, who was John's brother, and he played for the Red Sox.

Patrick

Great pick ups Ryan. :)

Thanks Sean, and just picked this up at SCP last night.

I bought a T204 Donahue in an SGC holder a few years ago, and the label also identified the player, incorrectly, as Jiggs. I notified SGC, and provided some corroboration to support my claim, and they reslabbed the card for free with a corrected label. Nice card, by the way... One of my favorite sets.

Delete (for now)

E90-1
 

Thanks to a fellow board member for this one

This card is well-loved with tons of character -- I'm glad someone long ago decided it was worthwhile to keep around! :D

Thank you to Gary for this pickup!

Steve

Congrats Steve. What is the old saying, I would rather have a hole in my card than a hole in my collection!!

and a W514 Gandil Barker Bread....

Great stuff, everyone!

On the lower end, I was happy to fill a few small holes in my set. These proved a little more elusive than I expected. Blackburne SC 350/25 and Hoffman Sovereign.

Attachment 293807

LOL....a true board member!!

I didn't win any of my pre-war REA bids but I did land this beauty.

Only one graded, and one of coolest names....and first baseball pin set, I believe...He once gave up 4 home runs in game to Ed Delehanty--but pitched CG and won 9-8....Olbermann loves this set....

any comments on Cameo Pepsins?

Foxx, Batter-Up
 

Am happy with this high number Foxx. One of the keys to the Batter-Up's.

1925 Cubs vs Los Angeles. Washington Park

Gorgeous card Duncan!! Doesn't get much better than that!

.

Dang, I guess I missed the Gasslers. Nice card....here is a scarce one that garners little respect.

Thank you, Leon. Very nice Ruth!

im seeing a trend here...yes Leon...nice babe!

Hey Pete,
That's a great Ruth. Presents outstanding for the grade!

Picked up one of my white whales
 

Psyched to add this williams 1939 premium to the collection!

Thanks Jim!

Very nice example of Teddy's rookie card. [ducks and exits the room]

gorgeous ROOKIE of Teddy Ballgame!!

A couple of Whitey Glazner items, a near mint-y looking RC of a borderline HOFer, a PB common, and a D type card, all for less than the snipe I set on the first item

great r303B williams!

Agreed...the horiz crease towards the bottom isnt terribly apparent!

Mislabeled:

Williams Rookie
 

David's Williams is an R303A...unless, of course, it's a V351 - which would REALLY be awesome...David?

Beautiful either way.

Shriners Pick-up
 

Picked up at the Greater Boston (Wilmington) Show last week. In the raw.

The Real Jimmy Stewart
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...RATTON_NEW.JPG

..these two probably represent most of Monty Stratton's "cards" ; I may have the complete Monty Stratton Master Set without even knowing it because I also have his 1933-1935 Worch Cigar on Page 1 or 2 of the "Worch Cigar Project" thread a few lines down ..
The 1937 Team Issue Picture Pack has some staple holes and a scrapbook backside ; the Burke 4 x 6 is almost flawless --I'll post a scan of the reverse of that one in my next entry ; the Burke guys need all that stuff from back there
..

November Pickups
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...IMMONS_NEW.JPG

..a 1934 Gold Medal Al Simmons ( finally , after 11 years of searches ) ,a 1939 Canadian V351 ( like USA R303A ) Flea Clifton (an upgrade ; the one I have is off-centered ) , an AZO postcard RPPC of a well-equipped catcher , looks turn of the century , and then the reverse of the Burke 4 X 6 Monty Stratton....can anyone familiar with equipment hone in on which years that older-feller catcher might be from ? The back is clean and unused , no ID at all , and I can't find a Studio logo anywhere on the front .

..

Congrats, nice card. You need to share this with John Dreker!

Finally got one on my longtime wish list, one of greatest images of anyone, and a good version, methinks. http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1510298709

Congrats! I was the under-bidder.

................ a few "back upgrades" ............ :)

Attachment 294331

Especially like the Tolstoi Delehanty

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

That 70s Card . . .
 

Doubled-Down this Month
I recently just added a SGC 40/3 of the same card.
https://siriussportsauctions.com/Ite...980040_lg.jpeg

.

Beautiful copy of a very scarce pose. I find the card’s background very interesting. 1887 Boston players (and all other NL teams except New York) were photographed by Gray Studios. The backgrounds that Gray used we’re pretty consistent. However, off the top of my head I don’t remember another card with this background. Also, number “0440” was a relatively late addition to the “0” number series. Something unusual took place with this pose; I need to spend some time thinking about what was going on. Anyway, congratulations—great pickup.

.

16 HR and 81 SO as a rookie in 1889. He was the Aaron Judge of the American Association.

Card in hand, now I can finally post this. I badly needed this back for my Evers back run, and its one hell of a tough card. Bryan thank you! Bryan (Jobu) and I met up in DC last night to make the swap, and it was great to meet, in person, a guy I have emailed and texted with for over a year but never actually spoken to. Maybe i will meet more Net54 peeps at Philly or Chantilly.

As an aside, with this T213-1 in hand -- first I have ever owned, I dont see how this is not a T206!

crack that evers out of its tomb...caress the card stock...see if you still feel the same!

Yea, I never held one and I understand they are much thinner. But by looks alone, t213-1 looks like a t206 all the away around

Evers
 

Nice pickup, Ryan. What's needed for your yellow sky back run now?

totally agree!

Hey Tony. I don't have much left, "only" the Drum, BL 460, and a Sov 350; you know, the easy ones. And I wouldn't mind a t213-3 and a -3 overprint, bc those are common....! My gut is aside from the Sov 350, my back run will remain with a few holes and I doubt I will ever fill all of them.

holy cow!!! beautiful!
