Huggins & Scott pickup

[Jason]

About two months back I was able to knock off most of the Billy Nash cards and variations I needed in a fantastic deal with a very cool Net54'er. This one being my favorite of the bunch. Thank you!

[oldjudge]

Great pickup Jason. Obviously, that is Nash tagging Radbourn.

[Jason]

Thank you Jay. For some reason SGC wouldnt slab it that way. I had it on the submission form.

[TUM301]

Wow, the 54`ers are hotter than ever, fantastic items guys ! Special kudos to Ethan and that beautiful Foto Ruth. Really enjoy seeing the Babe in a Boston uniform. GO SOX............................ !!!

I get a warm fuzzy feeling when something I have sold deserves a post in this thread. Hopefully everyone is happy with items they have purchased from me.

Good to hear it pleased you, Brian. Here is another pickup which I also hope left the seller with a good feeling:

[GregZakwin]

Picked up the original Bill Bradley from Jim (JimmyD99)

[MVSNYC]

Lichtman- sick pick ups, congrats, bud. Nicest examples of both I’ve seen.

[Vintagecatcher]

Upgraded my John Tiedemann Home Run Kisses card.

Patrick

[Zan]

Corners and color on this are fabulous.

[BLongley]

Been wanting this in a Sov back and finally grabbed one.

[Bicem]

Great card Brian!

This is a crazy month for p/u's, nice cards for sure. Like the Cobby Brian.

This came this weekend, the slab is huge, 5/8" thick and could probably be used as a weapon. I believe this to be Wags earliest image and he is still with Louisville prior to the 16 team expansion about to take place. Super clean image and a great bio on the back. I had to build a shelf in the safe so it would fit, pretty stoked to say the least. Sorry for the huge images.

Very nice! Definitely his earliest individual image, although I believe the 1898 National Copper Plate would be considered his “rookie”. Given that it’s the same image and you got it for considerably less dough, I’d say you got yourself a great item there! Yes, those BGS slabs are ridiculous, but they’re the only TPG that will grade this issue (not that it’s necessary).

For what it’s worth, there are a few team cabinets and pins that have images that pre-date his M101 image (1895 Warren and 1896 Paterson teams come to mind), but who cares? Your piece kicks arse!!! That would look great in any collection!!!

Thanks Derek, I don't know about those other images? Im assuming those items must be pretty tough, Ill have to keep my eye out...but wow, minor league images from 1895?

So the mail lady came again, she is being nice to me at the moment.

[Rhotchkiss]

Damn Steve, those are awesome. Congratulations. Is the Wagner from LOTG? Unreal piece, that is high on my list (one day.....)

Very nice Arndt. I think that's the only back of his that I don't have other than the Broad Leaf that I probably won't ever get.

I am glad you won that! I had an early bid on it and was watching. Great piece.

Jeff, looking forward to whatever Wagner items you have in November.

That an amazing story with amazing images. The amount of research in that seems overwhelming mind blowing, thanks for sharing.

Orly - Thanks dude.

Very pleased with the contrast on this OJ of HOFer Tommy McCarthy:



And Mr. Cobb marked #100 for me out of the 180 card V100 Willard Chocolates set:



And Mr. Knabe marked #178 for me out of the 180 stamp Helmar Stamp (baseball) set - where are you Cy Young??:

I'm broke, but happy These were found together at a flea market in York, PA and then graded at the National.

a flea market? did you pay flea market prices?

[ullmandds]

they're fantabulous btw!

[Luke]

No, I bought them from the guy who found them, and he paid flea market prices. He said the seller didn't realize the back was anything special. Which makes me think the two cards have probably been together for a long time. Maybe even ever since they were pulled from a pack.

[gregr2]

Nice pickups Luke, congrats.

[RedsFan1941]

high grade for uzits. awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up a Large Letter Gabby Street P2 pin.

Patrick

[Rhotchkiss]
