December Pick Up Thread
 

The most money I have spent on a card so far!
Really excited to add a Ruth to my collection.

Picked up a lot of stuff on the B/S/T area - thanks guys!!!
I just love single digit pop cards like the W516-2-3 Cobb!

Wow great first card of the month and fast start.

Congrats

This one scratches two itches, West Coast type card and Ty Cobb in a seldom seen pose. Relatively rare with less than 25 known examples.

Picked these up from the collector connection's most recent auction

Perpetually envious.

Nice pick-up Phil!

Chad

Congrats Phil. That is a great card, front and back. Great pose too

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Thanks so much!
Really happy with the card.

I’m a sucker for black and white Ruth’s!

These came in yesterday:

I just left the Philly Show, picked up the W514 Jackson from a hobby friend, plus two other recent pick up’s.

Nice Jackson’s. Great additions to your collection.

Congrats

Chuck, awesome Jackson!

+1 agreed Mike.

Not sure how I missed that one on B/S/T

Picked this up at Philly Show yesterday. Nice low grade copy.

I liberated the ‘39 Play Ball Lew Riggs from an antique store today, and the T205 Peaches Graham arrived in the mail!

Fatima Mail Day
 

Now have 13 of 16 for the set!

Just saw you posted the Ruth I had sold via Myslabs. I should have just posted in the BST, and could have saved us both some money.

Well, live and learn.

Hope you enjoy the Ruth!

LOTG win. Collecting goals were radically changed to make this happen, but it was worth it. :) Thanks to Al for another great auction.

Thanks to Rick C. for this nice B18 Bert Whaling (dark brown infield.)

Great pickups!

Recently, I have come to the conclusion that we "back" collectors are a odd bunch ....... ;)

Whereas most collectors are excited about Cobb, Matty, and Young (as well they should be), I am thrilled to add these two "lesser known" gentleman to my set ..... :)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

That Cobb used to reside in my collection a few owners back. Enjoy, it's a really scarce card.

I recently picked up this German Transfer stamp, pretty much just for the back transfer. I like these little oddities, and this one goes well with the other two cards that I have with back imprints.

Great pickups Gary

Love that Rittenhouse Ruth. I just picked one up in Red

Here are my December Pickups

The 1923/24 Exhibit is the rarer version of the 1921 exhibit Ruth. It has condition opportunities but I am proud to have it and the condition gives it personality

Stuff that tastes really, really good is called crazy good these days.

Analogy: that's a crazy good Honus Wagner, sir!

I’ve always wanted this combo

I posted this in the REA pick up thread that I started, but I really like this card. So in posting it here too.

Thanks Sean, I remember it popping up on Tony's sight, then here, then eBay, and finally Heritage. Every time I went to pull the trigger it had sold. Figured it was meant to be in my collection since it kept coming up until I bought it.

Recent pick ups, I’m grateful. Now it’s time to step back for a bit…

Daaammmnnn, Aaron. Nice additions.

Thanks, Jeff. I love your pickups also. The 23-24 Exhibits is crazy rare, and I've always been a big fan for the Rittenhouses.

A bunch of other great additions for others in December.

Jesse, that's a beautiful US Caramel Ruth.

Aaron, incredible pickups. That Jax just pops.

Aaron, I would call it a career step back in my case. What a stunning haul! An emphatic well done.
By the way were you the unidentified winner of the Power Ball? Just asking.

Thank you guys. I had a bunch of consignments in the auction, had a big collection turnover.

Picked up these three including my first B18 Blanket.

Thanks, Mac!

Thank you Jeff.

Love that ‘41 Double Play card. It’s a set I’m slowly building.

Cannot say no to a Hindu…

Two prewar and one post war

Nice pick-ups Kenny!

Finally got my 1921 Throwing Pose Ruth Card.

The George variation. That completes the Trifecta Name variation now got all the different back variations to go after. Lol.

Thanks Erick L (Yanksfan09) on this forum for helping me achieve this milestone

Congrats on the great pickup Jeff.

Congrats Jeff. Presents well for the grade, for sure.

and Great pick ups Kenny and Aaron and the rest....some of those would be my budget for a few years years....
.

I just wanted this Sanella I picked up recently to be the 14th (if I counted correctly) Babe Ruth card already posted this month on this thread.

I always liked this action batting pose...just wish Babe's head was tilted our direction a little more so we could get a better profile view of his noggin.
