August Pickups
 

.

Nice opener, Brian

lot better shape than I'm used to seeing in that issue.

Not in yet but I picked up 11 PSA 6s in Heritage, a PSA 6 on eBay last night and one PSA 5 on eBay the other night. All commons, all were new to the set except for last night which was an upgrade from a 4.5.

Thank you, Raymond.

August pick-ups
 

I got this last month (or was it June?), but finally got around to scanning it!

1926 Kut-Outs Yankees - Earle Combs (the rare, severed neck version):

Derek,

Nice pickup on the Combs.

Great KC premium, Derek. Congrats!

T213-2 Coupon
 

Making a lot of progress on T213-2, up to 122 now. Thanks, Adam

Got some new Napoleons. Very happy :D

Nice pickups Luke
 

Luke,

Nice pickups on the Nap backs. They are tough!

Patrick

Those sound like some nice PSA's!!

T206 Bender
 

Thank you to fellow member David George!

Sweet Bender! I've always wanted to do just an SGC 55 collection. They are always "nice for the grade"...regardless of issue. David G. is definitely one of the good guys in this hobby!

A few new cards from my new "passion" (although I can still quit anytime I want :rolleyes:):

Love the Toy Town Stamp on Cycle Hallamn.
EPDG Overall, portrait is rough ---- but tough
AB Zimm. is pretty cool also :cool:

Fun stuff, Scott

Thrilled to have picked up my 5th card from this set, and also my only card (in my current collection) that's graded better than a 1 :D

1933 Worch Cigar "Mule" Haas and parent photo
 

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

...George "Mule" Haas , wearing a Philadelphia Athletics uniform in the American League Service Bureau 5x7 original newspaper sports dept. file photo . By the time Worch Cigar used the image for its 1933 send-in premiums he was playing for Chicago.
Got the card last month but the photo just arrived . It looks like they spelled his las name "Hass" on the Worch but it's spelled correctly on the back of the file photo.

1933 Worch Cigar Mel Harder and parent photo
 

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

..Had the Worch card for a while but just received the 5x7 photo from which it was made.

1934 Gold Medal Foods Irving "Jack" Burns (Wheaties Premium) & original photo
 

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

...had the St. Louis Browns card for several years but the 5x7 parent photo just arrived . Thank you " Fedex" on E-Bay.....astounding stuff you have.

...the Gold Medal premium has five pin-holes and fifty years of cigarette smoke protecting its glossy finish but the American League Service Bureau photograph has only four pin-holes and a lot of editors' penciling .

..I've seen that picture used on another Jack Burns card too...one of those annoying little "W" cards.

Finally picked up my first two Satchel Paige items.

The newspaper photo isn't in the best shape but love that it's from the 1948 leaf card and the pre photoshop editing.

Usually try and bust these out of the plastic before posting here
 

but can't find a hammer at work to facilitate that process.

Number 292 comes from Pete Gustafson who has found quite a few over the years. Thanks, Pete.

No "Sneak Peek" pickups yet?

National pick-up, sort of
 

Ironically, I'm not at the National, but bought this from a dealer friend kind enough to send me pics of his cases. Kind of a virtual National experience.

I bought this today. I looked at a higher rated one and just liked this one better. Could not find a high rated one that was affordable. Honestly, the prices have literally tripled for the higher rated 1934s since last year's national. I don't know how r why, but they have. Anyway, I like this one and it goes with my other 1934 yellow one.

Oh, and I admit I suck with the scans etc. not my specialty. But I did buy a cad at the preview night.

As an aside, I heard a lot of gasps and talk about how crazy prices have gotten. I heard some Koufax talk, some Clemente talk and some Mantle talk. Lots of bewildered people there. Not sure what to make of it.

I just picked this up, I have not seen a Jordan with this dark sky on it before. It is dark ink printed on the card, not just dirt on the card. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this before, it is very different from the normal Jordan.

Nice one Ed, I was watching that. I have been picking up some of the same type of "dark sky" cards when I see one that catches my eye:

Great Toy Town Stamp :D

Not Bad
 

From the National. Thank you, Tim Newcomb and Terry Knouse III:

Congrats.....tough combo...

Regarding the dark sky that's curious. I do wonder, how this is caused in the lithographic process. Is the sky the only thing that's ever dark when you see these cards (as opposed to say, a dark bottom of card)? Do they all come from the same factory? Ah tobacco cards are cool..

Nice looking Gehrig!!

1933 Uncle Jack's Ferrell. Far from fresh, but the price was right.

I was looking to add a Lindstrom to my HOF collection and ended up acquiring two. And then I can't resist an inexpensive Butterfinger premium when I see one come up on a eBay auction.

Hi Ed,

This isn't as dark as yours but I had (traded it to a friend) this Rokenfeld
with a darker sky that also has an odd pink triangle in the upper right corner.

Found this Lone Jack Tobacco Tin in an Antique Shop in South Jersey.

My guess is it's vintage is circa 1888.

I wish I had some Lone Jack BB cards to display with it......but, I do have several colorful Non-Sports cards to show.

1905 JT DYE Here Come the Giants Post Card (more scarce B&W version) in really nice condition.

Almost gave up on even looking through eBay BINs, but found this for what I thought was a very reasonable price.

Also, found this T213-2 earlier this month in nice condition for the series...

One on the more rarer regional issues of the 50s for Mick

Nice pickups, Erick.
