July 2011 Pickup Thread

[sportscardpete]

great card! guess I live in the wrong spot of NY. Driveway deals never end up with a black lenox as an outcome =)

[tlwise12]

This is my most recent purchase! I'm trying to save for the National, but that is easier said than done...

[jb217676]

This was a tough card for me to find! A big thank you goes out to Ron Rice for making this one available.

[wolterse]

Best Wishes!

Chris Buckler is an awesome guy. I just recently bought some stuff from him after seeing his ad on net54.

[jthorst75]

Another (trade) pickup from Mr. Buckler. It goes great with my 51 Bowman Mantle.

Thanks so much Tim!! 22 cards left to go in a journey that has gone on for about 4-5 years!

[Leon]

Upgrade...

[AK11]

I am happy to add another HOFer tobacco card to sit next to my Lajoie T206. The SGC holder is in crappy condition, so it will be sent to SGC for reholdering.

[MacDice]

Not the best of shape but finally got one that fit my budget thanks to Steve Murray

[4815162342]

Last pickup before the National:

[bcbgcbrcb]

Mike:

Nice pick-up on the Averill, still a very tough card in any condition.

[Howe’s Hunter]

six cards in six months (missed three on eBay). Then in a 24 hour period, seven cards with Howe's stamp showed up on eBay...

Thanks to Leon, for moving my plea for bidding partners to the main board. Thanks to Erick, Iggy, John, Bobby and Eric for offering to be bidding partners.








(I hadn't noticed the printers register marks on the side of the Mullin until I scanned it.)







When I contacted the seller Dan, and told him of my collection, he checked his inventory and found one more that had not been listed, and sold it outright.

[leaflover]

These 2 with Old Mill backs fit my set perfectly. See Y'all in Chicago.

[B O'Brien]

WOW Ed, killer haul!!!

Hope all is well and always on the lookout at the local,
Bob

[T206.org]

Niiice, Ed!

[muskiesfan]

I got this beauty in today.

E121 1921 American Caramels Heinie Groh

[Big Six]

Just picked this up from eBay (Probstein) and while I normally steer clear of cards with qualifiers, had to have this one because:
a) it's a Chase in White Cap which I don't have;
b) it's in nice shape for a PSA 4;
c) it has the coolest stamp on the back...has anyone else seen any of these "constable" stamped cards???



I guess I'll have to be on the look out for anymore with this back stamp...now I know how Ed feels!!!

[atx840]

I have seen that stamp but might have been on that card (I am obsessively checking backs)

Hi Chris,

I've owned a few T206's with this same stamp.

Any chance the front of that card is Shaughnessy?

[tlwise12]

I have had some really nice pick-ups recently...

[quinnsryche]

Another new one for the HOF collection off the bay

[mintacular]

Damn, there are some heavy hitters on this board, an upgrade on a Drum? Wow. A drum, a drum, leon doth come (McBeth). A couple of pickups from the BST, thanks Mark...

[Cerberus]

I just picked up this fairly nice Piedmont slide box, 1910 tax stamp, no overstamp, with a handful of cigarettes remaining. Sadly, there is no card included (so I'm telling myself that it would have been a bird or flag):

[scotty21690]

Big thanks to Bob M. for the smooth transaction!

[M's_Fan]

Checking off some T cards off my type card list:

[Piratedogcardshows]

A few great pickups from a great board member.This set hits close to home its amazing.

[HRBAKER]

Slow month. Waiting for Chicago in a couple of weeks. From the BST. Thanks Brian.

[sportscardpete]

But I couldn't pass these up !

[bcbgcbrcb]

C'mon, Pete, those were the two that I was looking for when they were on the BST. I was too cheap though and tried to get them at a discount from the seller, meanwhile I guess you jumped in and scooped them up. All kidding aside, nice pick-ups!

[sportscardpete]

Haha, Thanks Phil! I knew he was getting a bunch of emails, so I didn't want to negotiate and risk losing out.

Certainly would have been a bird or Flag..
did you buy it already opened with the contents already known or did you buy it sealed not knowing what might be inside??

[muskiesfan]

Today brought this beauty.

1912 T207 Bob Bescher

[T206.org]

Thanks, Doug.

I bought it, already opened, knowing that any card had been removed (and several of the cig's had been smoked). However, the price was right (to say the least). Do you somehow know for a fact, Marty, that it would have been a bird or flag, or are you just supporting my rationalization for not being disappointed?

[Big Six]

Managed to grab a nicely centered Hubbel Diamond Star from the latest Sterling Sports Auction as well as a T206 Chase w/ Trophy from Shaunsteig...

[Northviewcats]

I was very pleased to pick up these three HOFers to add to my Cuban collection. The Dihigo was at the top of my wish list. The Dimaggio and Williams were a bonus.

Best regards,

Joe

[bcbgcbrcb]

Joe:

Great condition on the Dihigo card, that is probably the nicest one of those that I have seen.

[Northviewcats]

Thanks Phil. I was real happy with the card's condition. It looks a lot better in hand than in the picture. I'm looking forward to having it graded.

Best regards,

Joe

[bcbgcbrcb]

Sounds good, an SGC 40/3 would be quite a nice grade for that set.
