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.

Patrick

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.

Thanks for the card, Steven. It's going to the NY Giants part of my collection.

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

Found this little gem thanks to Sterling Sports Auction. Net54 advertising works!

Great cards Brian! I got some too!

Nice pickups, Erick.

Thank you, Duncan.

................ some nice "new" backs :)

Up to 40% set (518) with backs between PB/Sov. 350 and Pied. 42.

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Thank you, Dave:

Thank you to Johnny V for this pair. Street was the first oddity/scrap I had spotted but came up short on auction night, happy to finally own it.

M101-2 Speaker
 

Finally added a HOFer (and a spectacular one at that) to my signed M101-2 collection, each from the Dr. Steen collection.

Nice Chris! That is so clear you can tell that Shaw brushed and flossed his teeth daily.

This looks like the beginning of a back run!

GREAT Babe, Jay! Congratulations!

Very nice pick ups on the T207 Napoleons. I have Chance and Lennox in Napoleon back so missing 6 Napoleons as Cubbies are my area. Where did you find them?

..was able to track down the original photo , well-worn and poorly-treated , for the 1937-1939 Orcajo Photo Art Cincinnati Reds Billy Meyers Postcard....showing both variations here , the 'plain' regular issue and the "Val Decker Meats"-sponsored ; nine of them are known to have the Val Decker Packing Co. , I'm still looking though...

..it's becoming more and more difficult to explain why I buy certain items to wifey....she still likes looking at "the pretty ones" though....

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...S_0002_NEW.JPG

...back of the photo is dated "March 14 , 1935".....then "Steve O'Neil ,Cleveland Baseball , Manager"

...used for the R314 Goudey Wide Pen Premiums ; 1935 or 1936 is the year for the Type 3 ( borderless) ; 1936 is considered the year of issue for the Type 2 ;

...I've found four photos corresponding to baseball cards I own so far in 2016....sometimes I go years without seeing even one. Astounding.

Congrats, easily my fave T207 back....

Unreal! Nice one Steve!!!

Whoa! Congrats!

Steve, what's up with you? You don't seem to pick up "ordinary" vintage cards, just really, really tough ones! :D
Congrats!!
Val

Wow, very nice Steve.

Eldon Aucker-Tom Mix Master Set Completed
 

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

...just received the hand-lettered 1932 photo ( taken by 'Schoolboy' Rowe's 'roomate' at Spring training at Tiger Field in Lakeland , Florida ( they were still there as of this past Spring )----it's a very very young Eldon Auker who is with one hand holding his rat terrier puppy and with his other pulling close " His Luck-Charm Tom Mix "

...I collect just about anything that's thirties Tigers but this is the oddest item I've found so far...fountain pen was used for the printing on the front; on the reverse , written in cursive pencil is :
Big Six Auker
His dog & good
luck charm
Tom Mix



..




...

Thanks, everyone. :) I'm really excited to have worked out a deal for it, and the gentleman that I got it from couldn't be a nicer guy.

...and Val, I do pick up "ordinary" (is anything here ordinary?) vintage cards...some of my favorites are beaters with holes in them! :eek:

Another Phelps T206
 

Picked up this nice tall diamond cut Eddie Phelps T206 because it had the one color background compared to the more common two color background.

wow, Rob...who's the last one u need?

I have 10 more coming back from SGC, then I would need about 40 more to complete the confirmed run.

My Ginger Beaumont I bought from a member here arrived today.

Chris.............
 

Street and Shaw needed to be with you:)

hanging with you, adam, Jamie, Jantz , Dan , Mike at the national was Awesome!:D


going to post about it.....;)

Love the D381s posted, nice cards from a great find.

Here is a slight upgrade courtesy of the Arizona Find (Steve Hart at Baseball Card Exchange). Hoping the new PSA8 will cross over (the PSA slab insert leaves a strange shine on the scan that I can't seem to avoid).

I should really wait until I have the card in hand before I post these- card somehow got lost at the post office after I wasn't home to sign for it. Any advice on what steps I can take to get them to track it down? I've been there multiple times already with no luck.

You're in the right spot---
 

.. Looks like a nightmare right now BUT---We have members on this forum who will , in a few hours , describe exactly what steps to take. Patience ; he'll be home from work in a few .

..

I couldn't resist adding this Young portrait with some nice big fat borders - love the look of it!
