December Pickups
 

Surprised that a December Pickups thread hasn't been started so I'll get the ball rolling with this nice Patrick Moran T207 (Factory 606).

Patrick

Nice start...anyone else? I need my fix of cardboard!

Yippee!

Wow the second of a month and only three pickups and two are t207. Nice. I don't have any recent pickup scans.

Thanks
 

Ben!

I got these in the last few weeks. Finally getting around to taking some pictures. Finally found a lower grade crease-free Flick, and the Huggins is the nicest raw t206 that I've ever owned. Also, put a nice dent in my e96 set. Bought all of them from forum members. Thanks guys!

Really happy to pick this one up tonight. Rarer script series card of the original Dude. Also had a macabre interest in it as the train he jumped from was passing by my hometown.

A late November pickup and two early December pickups
 

In late November, John Rafferty here on the board found this Phillippe on the Check Out My Cards website and got it back with the others. Thanks, John.

Then in the Legendary Auction a couple weeks back, I was lucky enough that Joe Yanello of joesvintagesportscards.com picked up lot 10, which stated there were "several" in the near complete set that had the stamp of Howe McCormick on them. Joe has been very helpful with my collection and contacted me as soon as he had the cards in hand, and as always, gave an accurate grade and fair asking price for the cards. They were added to the rebuilt collection on Monday.

That brings the rebuilt collection up to 267.

If you've never dealt with Joe, you owe it to yourself to see what he has that might fit your collection. Accurate grades, fair prices and excellent care in packing and shipping.

Thanks to John and Joe, and everyone on the board who has helped with the project.

E95 Plank

Added a couple of "tougher" Helmar Stamps:

My latest T206 HOFer, an E121-80 HOFer (Type 3), a couple of Pirate Types, and a PC that I really don't know much about but thought was cool with the advertising on it:

Brian:

The Bancroft is a rookie card, nice.

George Gibson T206 Hindu back
 

This George Gibson T206 arrived in the mail today. Surprised I was able to pick it up on eBay last week. Nice front...back has a little paper/glue residue and perhaps a small bit of paper loss. Regardless, I'm excited to add it to my collection. First Hindu back!


Patrick

Phil,

Thank you and I am aware of that fact. It is my second Bancroft from the set.

Took heritage over 3 weeks from when my check cleared for them to ship, but finally arrived today for an early christmas present!

Dave, they were certainly worth the wait. Very nice.

Wheat Sovereign 460
Speaker Cycle 350

+1
It appears that Dave was high up on Santa's Good List.

Very excited on this pick up from Small Traditions as I'm building out the set! :)

A good looking "Good" card, though crappy scan here. Was very pleased when it arrived, as the card looks better in person than it did in the auction, where the picture was too dark (IMO). You definitely have to give anyone 2 thumbs up on quality service when you pay on a Sunday and it's in your hands on Wednesday! :eek:

Some great stuff this month so far. Man this month has been a nice one for some people

its been quite a few months since I've picked up any vintage thats not an auto for one of my 1953 Bowman color or 1954 Topps sets, but I found this (1906 White Sox Team PC) at what I felt was a pretty good price and the fact that it has 3 HOFer's (1 Rookie- Walsh) makes it even better!

Fantastic postcard, Dan. Love the early image/scawl of Nick Altrock. Congrats!

The colors on those cards are amazing.

Congrats Patrick -- nice pickup.

Richard.

Swamp Wagner is sick, nice pickup.

Thanks Richard
 

I thought of your example when I saw it, and I threw in a bid at the end and was surprised I won it.


Patrick

Won these three signed HOFers from Clean Sweep:

E98s
 

Dave, a couple of beauties, congrats!

Always wanted an SL Hindu, didn't think this would start it off…always loved the color and pose on this. And NOLA, baby….

Good Hindu start!
 

Nice pickup, Patrick! That was a tough one when I was looking for T206 Gibson s

December Pickups
 

Ladies and Gentlemen, my very first Cobb, and new favorite card in my personal collection.



(Special thanks to whoever damaged the corner, bringing this baby into my price range!)

Congrats David. Nice image on it. I can remember my first Cobby like it was yesterday.

Thanks Leon. Despite its obvious flaws, I am honestly thrilled to have landed this one with some (for me, at least) decent eye appeal!

This is the first D322 I've bought in about 8 years.

And I managed to pick up a second Hindu SLer also.
