March Pickups
 

Thank you, B&L:

Dang, Brian, it isn't March here yet!

Just picked up the Wagner from Jim here on Net 54. The Cobb came last month but I think they look better together. My first Wagner card and the new favorite in my collection

Brian - fast out of the gate, huh?

Jesse- that's a great pair you landed!!

Finally landed one of my favorite cards via Leon's auction, and with my usual focus on color and centering.

Congrats Greg

- That's one of my favorites as well. I picked one up last year.

Blankenship was the first Major League player born in my hometown.

what town?

Hoping to "Bake" up a good March
 

Thanks Leon and B&L:

e90-1 Wagner
 

glad you like the card Jesse; a real pleasure working with honest people like you. take care and enjoy the Wags.
jim

Scouted and secured Walter Johnson for Washington.

Thanks Jim, it was a very smooth and easy transaction and I love the card.

B&L pickup. 2nd nice pickup this year for the '41 set.

Mathewson Postcards
 

Spent more money than I should have but am extremely excited to get these in the mail from B&L!

2 different shows in St. Louis today
 

Thanks to Tony at Monster Cards for the T206s and it is always good to see JD Heckathorn come on down for a visit - especially if he brings Fatima cards. I am glad that each of them braved the weather. I am still not sure why the show promoters decided to go head-to-head; it meant a lot of time in the car and less time flipping through books of commons for a 1958 set.

Love the Matty PC's

One more Matty from B&L. You see a lot of these around but I was surprised learn only "one higher" at both SGC and PSA pop reports....Centering makes this...http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1425257831

North of the border again:

Columbus, GA...home of Elmer Riddle, Frank Thomas, Tim Hudson, and Colby Rasmus (where they were born anyway)

Great OPCs Brian!

Raymond,

Thank you.

Type 2's and Weil
 

These are the Type 2 coupons that I have picked up since the first of the year plus a Weil.

Another T207 catcher
 

Thrilled to have finally picked up this Ivey Wingo T207!

A few more catcher S74 silks
 

Picked up a few more catcher S74 silks.

liked the writing on this...

My first Lionel Carter card

My first Fatima and first Jim Thorpe.

love the e94 chance...JEff...definitely agree...the writing certainly improves that card in my mind!

That Giants piece is really cool. I wonder why no Matty? Gorgeous nonetheless.

I need to give big thanks to Sean B and his guy Deron for making this Cobby pick up such a smooth transaction. Won't bore you with details, but they were exceptionally communicative and accommodating.

Great Pick Ups so far!! Here is an American Tobacco Company building in 1908 with a streetcar in front of it. Even though the district didn't put out baseball cards it's still a neat postcard scene.

And a Carrillo matchbook cover to go with the Adam Hat Premium (not to size)!!

My first Helmar stamp. I liked the fact that the registration is so off that it has a kind of ghost image effect.

Tom C

Killed two birds with my first 1935 Diamond Star and Mel Ott

Nice card.

Thanks Joe

Here is a 1914 Pritchard stamp, not often seen, and two cards with tougher backs:

Dan - I love that Ott card...I have a PSA-8 on layaway right now...should have it in two weeks. I think that's the best Mel Ott card.

Pretty happy to pick up this Cobb from a board member...

My first Gehrig from his playing days.

Attachment 181774

Good looking card Dave! Especially for the grade. Congrats!

The Gehrigs from that 34 Goudey set have always been among my favorite cards. Congrats.

Tom C

A few T206s
 

Just a few more to boost that ol' Monster Number.

and a cool PCL
 

Had to have it.

Congrats Ray! I agree, I think it's his best looking card as well

thx mark.

After what seems like forever I finally crossed of one of the five Series 4 cards I have left to complete the set with this Brumfield. Im in need of Aylor, Benny, Canepa, and Daughtery for completion if anyone has an extra laying around somewhere:D Ill def make it worth your sacrifice!

1911 Ullman PC
 

Not in great shape, but only $7.50

These arrived today....

I keep losing auctions for groups like this, so I finally just bought a lot outright on eBay.

Starting my 8th Pre 1934 cubs team set (T202, T205, T206 Sovereign, P2, m116, M101-4&5, 1933 Goudey autographed) for the first time Ive bought the hofers before the commons.

is that CJ Clarke for sure real? could just be the scan but has that washed out reprint look.

Fun card. It made me laugh, which was followed immediately by feeling like a dork.

If anyone has an extra one of these at a similar price let me know.

Excellent Sean. Whatever happened to that T206 Sovereign set?

Jeff...don't scare me like that...it's real...just a crappy phone pic. Much better scan on bst:

Nice card Pete. Those CJ's do have some cool poses.

[QUOTE=Sean;1387979]Excellent Sean. Whatever happened to that T206 Sovereign set?[/QUOTE

Hi Sean
still working on it. Need five that are proving to be quite hard to get.

Back at it with my HOF Collection again...

Great pick ups....
 

:eek:

especially the T206 ....

that pb lot was great:D

ah yes, definitely real! sorry about that :D

Great cards Dave, I decided to go in another direction or the 796 would have had another bidder!

Just picked this up - my first T3

Crazy...Congrats on your first t3...very attractive for the grade!

Thanks! Very Happy with it. Very Minor Back Damage - Displays very nice

Wow, nice Speaker Greg!

Hey Greg, was that a pickup from the Philly Show today? If so, saw it this morning and was debating about picking it up myself. Glad to hear a board member got it.

DJ

Hi DJ

Yes it was from the philly show. Had a couple of cards in mind and decided to go with this one. Been wanting to add one of these for a while.


Thanks!

Thanks Luke

Fresh from Clean Sweep Auctions, a Yorkie of Walter Johnson.

Nice E120 grabs Sean.

I feel lucky to have spotted this Ruth late night shortly after it listed, then decided to roll the dice on a zero feedback seller. It arrived safe and sound, and it seems this seller's- "these were my grandpa's cards" story is fully legit. The stain is nowhere nearly as pronounced in person, but am curious if any have had success soaking E120s. I've never soaked a card, and probably won't try on this one, but still interested to know if any think I might be able to clean this one up a bit.

I know not as many people get jazzed about items like this (other than Leon & I :) )

This is the only example of a wrapper of Bishop's Chocolate that I have ever encountered that is correct to the 1910 period, there may be other examples out there but I have never seen any. This is exactly the right size for an E99, E100, and E221 (folded) to have been distributed in (scanned larger so you can see the writing). A few of the team cards say they were included in 5-cent packages of Bishop's Chocolate, Nut Bar, and Almond Bar.

Anyways, it isn't something you will likely see again for a good long while so I figured I'd share it...

Great Bishop find!

Wow Rhett...that's awesome! A great go along with the cards...

Ricky Y

Rhett:

The ancillary items to a card collection are very important supporting role players. All of my Old Judge non-card items help define the universe in which the cards existed at the time. So, as far as I am concerned your Bishop wrappers are awesome!

Kevin

Nice pick-up Ian!!

Really cool pieces, Rhett. Congrats.

+1 Awesome wrapper find Rhett.

Very cool wrapper, Rhett! Such a great piece to have. Congrats!

Nice York Caramel!!!

Picked these up at Valley Forge. Enjoy!

Cheers, Mike

Will be FOR SALE soon prob. Guy had some old Pool and Track and a couple boxing tobacco cards in an old cracking nine pocket. This Random guy was on the back of a Kentucky Girl T card. He ain't mint, but he was lonely w all those other sports guys, I liked the back, and money or not, he was calling my name. Good back guys? ;)

LIBRARY SCANNING AND CROPPING STINKS..hahah

Great find Scott. :)
