June Pickups
 

Not a Ty Cobb back (Ryan's post should be pinned its such a beauty), but been looking for a decently graded coupon for some time. There is a crease/wrinkle above the bat that accounts for the grade.

Very nice way to start the month -- great looking Coupon!

Being I'm from Atlanta, thrilled to have picked this up off the BST. Don't see many Southern Leaguer postcards out there, and narrowing it down to Atlanta makes it that much more difficult.

Doubt I'll bother getting it graded. :)

Great looking card Joshua, congrats!

Won the right to buy this in Brockelman last night. Always thought this was a cool card!

Very cool. What a great pickup.

Why you would even consider paying for somebody to tell you it's cool is beyond me.

Just when I thought Luke and I couldn't come up with a better trade, we do .... :p

Hofman has been near the top of my want list for a long time :); Quinn may be rough, but tough ;)

I love the Walsh!!

That is too funny.... Auto-correct changing Moser to Loser. These computers are getting smarter than I thought! :rolleyes:

Beautiful Cobb! Thank you Bill for the below card, though it is nowhere near the new Young you have!

Nice pick ups everyone!

Wow, that is a dream card, Cy Young rookie!

Great Cy card!

1908 Scranton Miners team photo featuring Moonlight Graham. Won it from REA recently. Couldn't resist after scoring the Rose postcard a month or so ago. Just had the photo framed. Will try to put up a jpeg of the finished product if I find a minute.

Love it David!

Love that Cy Young Pete, congrats

Hi all. Most of my activity is over in the postwar forum, but I’ve started dabbling with prewar again just recently. A while ago, I realized that though I’ve been a Chicago Cubs fan for 30 years, I’ve never really had any prewar Cubs cards of any significance in my collection. Changed that today with this pickup. Presents really well for the grade, I think.

F-Ing awesome Jay, congrats! Now accept my purchase offer and buy more Wajos

My most recent pick up, from a board member. Thanks John. Retreating somewhat into the super rare with all this BS going on.

Cool Wahoo, John!

Clark's Bread
 

This arrived in today's mail:

Looks like I will be taking advantage of SGC's crossover special soon! :)

Tom, very nice looking Clark's Bread card for the grade, and I feel that you got it at a good price.

Very nice Tom. We’ve seen a little group of these Clark’s bread cards pop up over the past couple months. I think that’s very misleading. These are tough and they’ll dry up and we will go a while without seeing too many.

Gonna just have some fun upgrading some of my T206’s for the time being.

Thanks Val! I was expecting it to go for more than I ended up getting it for too.


Thanks Dave! I was excited to see that there was a Chicago Americans in that group of 7 or 8 that appeared recently, and I hoped that the owner would eventually make it available for sale. Now that I have it, it will be staying as a part of my White Sox type collection for a while. ;)

Those look great, Doolin is a sleeper.
Go Phils!

Another catcher real picture postcard
 

Picked up this real picture postcard dated 12/9/1910.

The swastika on the uniform was a positive symbol back in 1910 with meanings including: ‘Well Being’, ‘Good Existence, and ‘Good Luck’.

This young man's name was Raymond Garcia, and he played for the L.W. Blinn Lumber Company circa 1910. I wouldn't be surprised that Chief Meyers might have been someone he followed since he was from CA and also spoke Spanish.

In light of recent threads...

Couple of cards from the long-term want list.

I don't usually go in for Authentic cards, but the eye appeal and cost savings on the e90-1 swayed me.
That leaves more funds for the rest of the run (see below)...

Nice!
 

Great Cobb's Jason!

Killer post, Jason. Love seeing all those well-centered Cobbs.

Hey thanks guys -- obviously 3-4 more key Cobbs on my list, but it's been fun finding these pieces over the last 8 years
.

Holy crap Jason. Awesome haul - that’s about as good a post as I have seen. Congrats

Hey John, didn't I just comment about this card on facebook?

Jay, outstanding Uzit! Clean, bold examples are seen less and less these days.

Great stuff so far this month for our members.

1886 Lorillard Detroit...
 

Just bought this today at an estate auction. Not the best condition and not the price I was hoping for, but I love the graphics. Originally handed out at a grocery store about an hour from me.

Well done Matt, The Lorillard Team card is great. I enjoy all 19th century Detroit items, particularly those that originated or were distributed in Detroit. Lorillard did a great job capturing the Tomlinson portraits.

Mr Cobb

i'm over here just drooling.... :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Just picked this up; yes, PWCC (ok, throw the insults). But it’s a Brown Lenox, and how often to you get a chance to pick these up, once a year, at most?

PS- great look Cobb Chuck, congrats

no need to apologize. stuff trumps everything.

I love the kid in the stands photobombing the Scranton team.
