August pick up thread
 

Can't believe it's the second and no new thread. I rarely post pick ups, as they tend to wind up in my inventory; but this one...

Glad you posted it.
Nice looking card.
Would be happy if you could post somewhere others from your collection.

I have to wait to post my card. It has not yet arrived. Hopefully son

A pair from the "Big Six".

Scored a different 1910 Tigers Schedule with a new advertiser on it. Hard to see the team picture as it’s on red paper. Also got a Jarvis catalog which has many cool Cobb pictures inside and lastly some kind of supplement with Ty and his young son pictured in the center.

I first saw this card following Ben's net54 posts when he was completing his set and was mesmerized by it. Put it on my list but really didn't have an expectation of finding one since there are less than 10 known examples. This one came from a veteran and long time collector who bought it 25 years ago. I'm very fortunate to have been able to add this card to my collection.

Wow! Both great pieces of memorabilia.

Great card, Phil, he is looking right through me. I love the guys in the background too. What card is it, do you know where the picture was taken?

1910 PC796. The appeal of this card is just what you said, it has very good balance & imagery. Much like the Crawford & Collins (attached) back grounds which were taken on the same day as each other, I'm not sure where this one was taken. Perhaps some of our members can shed some light.

Ed, congrats on your very special pickup!! I've never managed to acquire a Darby Chocolates for my type collection. I'm still dreaming the day will come when the person from whom you acquired your Darby will trade me the WaJo!

M101-6 Ruth?

way to go buddy.. if that was the one from eBay from last week, I was trying to get another one... such a great card.

Thanks Ben,
I really enjoyed talking to the Seller who had a pacemaker installed the day of the auction. Super nice guy.

Can't let the pick up thread drop to the 2nd page. A member was kind enough to keep an eye out for some E94's on my list at the National. Such a great community we have here.

Added another pose of Rehse a few weeks ago but took awhile to scan.

At long last: Stan Coveleski 1922 American Caramel
 

Been on the lookout for a decent copy of this iconic Caramel card of an underrated HOFer. Excited to post the new acquisition.

Yes you guessed it.

I guess I am to predictable

Coming soon. Hopefully

Ed, I just happened to be at your table in Chicago when a guy wrote a $20,000 check for a Just So Tobacco card (I didn't see who the player was). Pretty surreal moment for me because even though I know that cards bring big prices, I never actually watched a transaction like that in person.

Fantastic Cobb Tony. Jeff, congrats on the Ruth pick up, can't wait to see you post.

George Costanza : Can I say one thing to you? And I say this with an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality.

Jerry Seinfeld : Absolutely.

George Costanza : It's fabulous.

You just have good taste. Congrats, love that card.

Congrats again Tony, what a card. I’d get that beauty in a updated slab also. Another gem in your pc.

Many thanks Phil & Josh.

Josh, at some point Ty will definitely be placed into a new Sgc slab.

Sunday at the National, I pitched a dealer on one price for all 200+ of his 1974 Bra-Mac photos. When he declined the full deal, I grabbed 25 singles that interested me most, focusing on HOFers and catching gear.

Wow great photos and great history.

Great poses

m101-2 jax
 

m101-2 jax was actually picked up a couple years ago..finally got it slabbed at national ... it was about time ... nice addition to the Tribe collection ....

Very nice in your Tribe Collection or Any Collection

Great Pickup/Slabbing

1933 Goudey HOFers
 

Added three HOFers to my well-loved set.

Picked this up from Heritage. Still looking for a NY AL to complete my set.

great
 

Great hauls this month guys...Jerry

Looks like I landed this bad boy in the Huggins and Scott:

That's a beauty, Tony.

Great cards this month already...

Here is a postcard a few people wanted, unfortunately for my piggy bank (my apology to any pig who is offended)

https://luckeycards.com/indianpc.jpg

Picked this one up at the National
 

Don't think I have ever seen a Broadleaf miscut before...

I like how it still says “missing red ink”

Love the E94 Speaker, Phil! Just let me know whenever you get tired of owning it, and I can offer it a very nice home....

Some really amazing pickups this month -- too many to call out (except gotta give Tony credit for yet another great eye appeal T206). And with the national and all the auctions ending later thing month, I expect we will see a lot more eye candy.

Here is my latest pickup from Mile High last night

Hi Ryann

WE know you have been searching for one of those for a while

Congrats Great Pickup.

Thanks Scott, I'll write your name on the back so I can remember where to send it.

Ryan, another great pick up for your collection. Congratulations!

I'm not too well versed in postcards. What is this from? Fantastic photo!
Love this! The red background is soooo rich.
Beautiful cards Casey. Love the shadow detail on the Crawford. Amazing that the DoF from large format shows even on these small cards!

Ryan - Fantastic Young!

Won this really tough Sisler in Huggins and Scott last night.

Outstanding Cy Ryan!

Outstanding Image!
 

Really outstanding image Leon ...

My guess is there were some individuals that specifically collect this ball club (Green's Nebraska Indians) which helped drive up the price. I have seen other colorized images for sale of this ball club.

Again ... outstanding image.

Chris, great BL MC!

Ryan, well, yet another beast card for you. Congrats man.

Thanks guys, I am psyched!

Jeff, how is fatherhood treating you? I hope wife and baby are well

I've been trying to obtain a card from the playing days of each of the members of the first two HOF classes for less than $200 each. My standards are low. I've been stalled for awhile looking for Young and Wagner cards. I watched this postcard for awhile trying to decide if it fit my criteria, and I decided it did. 1908 Cy Young as Fox Hunter postcard. I love it.

Congrats Dean! I was underbidder, and then got caught up in other stuff last night.. totally missed the email saying you'd outbid me!

That said, happy it's found a good home, and just as well we didn't bid each other up several more increments!

Thanks Ian,

I went back and forth on whether or not to place one more bid. If you had come back over the top one more time, we most likely would be having the same conversation, but the other way around. LOL!

2021 Nationals pick up.
 

Scored this card at the Nationals.

Took a little break from posting, I’ll post a few more as I take some pics. I’ve been working on my autographs and 1950’s collection, made a lot more Net54 hobby friends as I branched out

Thanks for posting that Cobb Historic Autograph. I have never seen that and I did some Googling and saw this company is located 20 minutes from where I live. Interesting concept. Curious how big is the card since it is a T206 and auto combined? I assume it came graded, so the company creates it and then gets them graded and redistributes the cards in packs.

Hi Jamie, it’s an original and correct size t206 with a cut auto. Regarding the PSA holder, it’s a postcard holder.

All I can say is I think this is one of the stronger months for new Pickups and it is only 1 week into the month.
Cannot wait for every one to share all their winnings from all of these auctions this month

Posting it before it is delivered
 

Hi

As Jeff "Prize-ner" guessed it here is the card I picked up but have not yet received. Can't Wait to get it to put it in the collection.
Feel like a kid in a candy store

I was thinking the same thing.

That is a great card....congrats!

and of course Ryan's Cy is no slouch either. Great month so far...

Wow Jeff! Great great great piece and great looking for grade.

Thanks.
Slow but steady for me and trying to be strategic in my approach.
We will see how strategic I was after the next deal. Lol

August pick up thread
 

Just picked up this 1909-16 PC758 Max Stein Post Cards Ty Cobb in the Goldin auction. I think it was a steal since the exact same card sold through Heritage back in April, 2018 for almost $2k more than what I just paid. One of only nine ever authenticated by PSA & SGC.

Very nice pick up and at a great price. And love the low population count

Great Pick up Congrats

I love the Cy Young going fox hunting! That's fantastic.

Leon - the back of your postcard says that the Washington Americans took our best pitcher. Any idea who that was?

Beautiful Ruth M101-6 and Max Stein Cobb!

My favorite pickup at the National:

Fantastic card Turner!

I checked out a local antique show today and couldn’t leave behind these prewar cards.

Hi Joe, I hope that all is well.

Nice haul there my friend!

All good. Thank you! They are not really within my collecting focus but I felt like they needed a home. Joe

That’s quite a find for an antique store!!

This is a monster thread. I see something and think "holy crap, is that great" and someone tops it a few posts later.

That FM Ruth is just crazy great, Jeff; I love larger format cards. You must be thrilled.

But then there's that E107 Cy freakin' Young. Really??? What is that like a pop -2?

Can't let a Williams RC go unremarked...and a Stein Cobb.

T205 Joss has been on my radar for some time as well and that one is sharp-looking.

I did not realize that Young hunting PC is that old. For some reason I thought it was from the 1930s. I have one somewhere; guess I will have to relocate it in my album since it is out of date range and I am OCD as hell about where my cards go in my albums.

I didn't get much this month but I can throw a few logs on the fire:

Got a bit of a King Carl collection going right now.

Thanks there are a lot of great items in this months post. Something for everyone and I enjoy seeing them all.
King Carl collection is looking real good. With a Healthy dose of those Wheaties

One step closer to completing my HOF Portrait run, and a bigger one to check off the list. Down to 4 remaining. Thanks Bryan for a great transaction!

Bill

Awesome additions everyone!

Net54 pick up, thanks Jeff D

I've always liked that card of Lou. Nice pick up.

great card... I almost bought one at the 2019 National.

Wagner, Plank, ___ and ___?

The cardboard definitely makes more of an impression with me than the Wheaties--which pretty much taste like cardboard.

BAAAHAHAHAHA! I don’t even consider them part of my subset. But I’ll pick up some nice replicas at some point.

Last 4 are Green Cobb, Matty, Brown and Chance Red.
