October Pickups

[pawpawdiv9]

After a long drought it seems, I am very, very, very, pleased to add a prized piece to my RC collection. It is not in great shape, but there are very few around. This is his 'true rookie' card.

Congrats; awesome piece. Don't see those in every collection, that's for sure. Really happy for you!

Chris what a way to end a drought! Congrats on the Dimaggio rookie.

[Shoebox]

Very nice pick up Chris!

Finally picked up an iconic card from 1962.

Nice "DeMaggio" (sic) Zeenut, Chris! I had my eye on that one to see how it would do at auction. Not a bad price for that card with no obnoxious creases and wioth such great registration.

Congrats!

This was the last card I needed for my basic '61 set. Two more remaining for the master set. Centering is a bit off from my normal tolerance, but I'm happy with this one.

Thanks man, I guess Xmas came early for me, I was not totally sure if i would grab it. What kept me in was the pure fact H&S sold one last week (sgc10) for 3k (which i was a underbidder on)..so i relaized what price range i needed to be in, and i was right at it, knowing it reach 2k, another reason i had bumped it that afternoon. It wil be one of the key cards to my RC collection and a nice investment indeed.
Ian(our prewar board member) bumped the price a few times later on and had a good shot. I consider myself lucky. So today i bought lottery tickets (Mega Million and PowerBall) one for 110 mill and the other for 200 mill.




BTW @Gregr2: Nice 55 Ted, i been searching for a RC Koufax as well.

Thanks Chris, I've been trying to pickup some of the greats from the 50s recently.

I feel bad now Chris, because I probably cost you several hundred dollars! As said on the other pre war board, I was so so so close to punching one more bid. Had the total with BP calc'd out to $10 less, I may have, but it was right at that next round number ($3K) and I held back.

I guess these are my consolation prizes this month--
including one of the other Joe D "rookies"-

... some signed cards-

1953 Bowman Stan Musial signed.jpg1978 Topps Paul Molitor and Alan Trammell signed.jpg

... and absolute proof how big a dork I am (had a bunch of extra bid bucks due to 4x Bucks offers and could not resist this relic of my childhood)
