October pickups.
 

Ah, senility. Put these in September pickups and then realized it's October. Also, sorry for the poor resolution on the M101s. My fault. Batting a 1.000 today:

Just returned from PSA/DNA today! Gem 10 Auto!
 

My fave October "pick up" so far, I just picked it up from UPS! Straight from PSA/DNA! Sweet!

Peace, Mike

I picked these puppies up in early summer (thanks Jim) but posting them now. I think the Cobb is my favorite pose, hopefully one day I'll get my hands on a graded one!

Picked these up recently!!

Purchased last month but now scanned. Card is mislabeled--should be 1921.

Nice mail day
 

Big afternoon

Great pickups Dan!

September pick-ups, or October? Pre-WWII cards or Memorabilia? We're too happy with this ordered-and-delivered in September,
picked up only today, set of rare game cards to think about which thread in which subforum.
Behold! Base Ball ~ The Modern Card Game (1921, Schulz Amusement Card Co). The same image of Heinie Groh from the W573 set
graces the card backs. We're still missing the box and scoreboard, but in more than thirty years, we've seen only one other complete
set of the cards.

+1!!

Loving the heavily monochromatic start to the month, bunch of great cards.

It's Been A Good Month
 

-------------------------------------------------
Forgive me for sneaking in a couple of post war cards.

Thrilled to pick this up.

Holy crap. We are barely 3 days in and look at what’s been posted so far! Too many to point out individually, but great pickups all, congrats. Here are mine (thanks Ed).

Thank you, Ryan. I'm going to miss those guys.

+1 that is a nice Red Cobb.

Rob your should be there any minute.:D

I know!! I was waiting for the mailman to deliver it, but had to leave to meet a friend for lunch.

Thanks again.

Upgrades
 

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

..upgrade from "poor-fair-beater" "place-holder" "collector-grade" "acceptable" "filler" to almost close-to somewhat possibly ( generously ) " good "...... these are not cheap for some reason......1936 Goudey R-314 'wide pens' Premiums......they do not have that little " Litho In USA" down in the lower right corner so that identifies them as "Type Two"


...

This is not pre-war, but there is no place for me to post it...

Despite my complaining about Ebay, I've picked up some truly exceptional deals in auctions. I am very proud of this, its easily NM in my opinion, and I paid well below recent sales.

Wid, here is the link to where your nice pickup should be posted: https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...01#post2024201

1932 Minneapolis Millers Set
 

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

"Eddie Sicking" , "Ray Fitzgerald 1932"....... ignore the flip ; everybody gets these wrong about 50% of the time...... the only one I'm missing now is "Pea Ridge Day" , who possibly had the saddest life of any ballplayer in the thirties , up until the death of Willard Hershberger and the diagnosis of Lou Gehrig...

...

It's a nice month when this trio of arms joins the collection....

Ty Cobb Postcard

Not high dollar by any means, but rainbow completed!
 

Thanks to Sterling, was able to finally finish this '41 Goudey "Rainbow" of Al Todd with 4 similar grading clean copies. Not really expensive, but a clean copy of the red background proved to be very elusive for me, took way longer than I thought. I'm still amazed at how many of these '41 Goudeys were mis-cut.

Perry rejoins the others
 

Number 380 in the rebuilt collection.

Low grade T206 Wahoo Sam

way to sneak that one in there on an "off day" when no one was paying any attention to the thread. Nice pick-up!

1963 Ruth Bust
 

Inherited this.

Finally getting Ed Walsh and Mordecai Brown back from SGC after a 92 day wait on a 20 day submission. Thanks Mike Peich!!!

I sold a card that did well in LOTG. Used some of my winnings to finally pay for Tris Speaker. Thanks Jim Van Brunt.

Those look great Ben!

I'm so impressed with all the stuff that has been posted so far this month. Personally, I'm not in a position to join in...more inclined to sell off...but I appreciate those who can...and shop well...which you all seem to do.

Congratulations to all!

Speechless....
 

My most favorite card....and the best mail day of my life.

Wow Waz! Sweet pickup bro! Very happy for you on that one. Hope all is well with you these days.

Andy

Congrats on the T3. That is just how a T3 should look. Even the more rare no offer back to boot.

T206 Cycle Backs
 

Cool cards.

1900 Mayo's Cut Plug
 

Love these.

1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson
 

The answer is, yes...I still buy cards from PWCC. Glad they had six 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinsons ending at the same exact time too

Holy shit....these aren't easy

T207
 

Some tough ones...

Nice group, some very tough cards in there..

Wazoo sweet Lajoie T3 pickup
what's the "Texan Coll"?

1913 Fatima
 

Cool piece.

This is the only one I know of, and I'm so happy to have picked it up.

Mercy...what a card!! :eek:

R312
 

Enough posts for one day. Cool pastel colors on these.

Damn, that Speaker is an incredible image. Congrats.

WOOOOOWWWWW!!!

Congrats!

Congrats, Steve. I don't recall ever seeing a nicer-looking T215-2 card.

Thanks everyone! :D

Wow Steve, that is a beast! Congrats

What a wonderful card on so many levels. Congrats Steve!

Picked up a law firm and a political ticket!

Thanks again!

Since posting, I've learned of a second type 2 example (raw and with unique identifying staining on the top). If anyone knows of a third, I'd love to see it! I collect scans of this set along with the actual cards.

The vast majority of the Red Cross type 2's all came from a collection that have the small spot of back damage/horse glue. Clean examples are few and far between. Nice card!

A little bigger than I normally collect, but I think they'll look good framed on my wall. Maybe next month I'll track down an M113 Wagner to balance it out.

I've got a reprint of this pose if you want it.

That is a sweet Lajoie Ethan! The colors really pop on that one. :D

Haha!
 

Pretty sharp I must say. Oddly enough, the colors in the real one are much better than the reprint.

So it was legit...good good

That last 1 minute was insane on him. Went from 0 to final price all in a minute

Hi Jack,

I think you might be confusing this with the miscut Type 1 that sold awhile back on eBay.

This Type 2 was acquired in a private transaction.

Cheers

Attachment 422712
Picked this up after a year of searching for one. Most exciting pickup of 2020 for me so far.

Great cards this month everyone!

Rube!!

Oh man! Where’d you track this down? Been quietly looking. Currently tracking the 4 on eBay but not hopeful I’m going to win.

Picked this up at auction. Just got it from my house finally.

It popped up yesterday on eBay when I was on lunch. The price was too good to turn down. It's been a lot harder of a HOFer to track down due to all the hoarding....eh...."collecting" ;)
