December 2011 Pickups
Had this one for a minute but hadn't posted it yet (at least I don't think so).
RPPC of Minneapolis Keystone team ca. 1909-1910. Frank "Bunch" Davis, Jesse Schaeffer and Dizzy Dismukes are in the shot. Thought you all might like to see it.

This card set-me back $7 but was well worth every penny. What a journey it must have taken
 ................................I can only image a housewife in 1933 passing in front of the Morton Theatre and being given this card. She glanced at it, but never did find the time to see that summers blockbuster movie "Cohens and Kellys in Trouble." A year later, she is cleaning-up her pantry when this card falls out, she thought of throwing it in the trash but instead gives it to her eight-year old son. Little Billy tosses it around a little bit and promptly tacks it on his bedroom wall (multiple times). Fast forward 80+ years later.....................how in the world did it end-up in my hands??? I love this hobby business of ours!By the way Jason, "WOW" on the postcard!!! kashinb001.jpgkashin001.jpg Lovely Day... Last edited by iggyman; 12-01-2011 at 11:06 AM.

Iggy, totally agree.
I am not at all into baseball, for me the joy comes from the history of the card itself and the complexity of the sets. From printing press to pack 100+ years ago to end up in my hands. How many people have enjoyed this card, the travels of each one. Equally its about the design and beauty of the lithographs, photos and printing process. Great pickups so far!

But it would be neat if each card came with a mini-film of its journey, perhaps skipping only the late '70s, just due to the background music.

Yet another great line Scott!

Nice cards Tony, here's a couple of Trae R's culls that looked too good to pass up.

Picked up this lot in the Huggins and Scott Auction last night (I'm really only interested in the first card, open to offers on the rest [Update: all but the Brashear are spoken for] - would love to chat with the winner of Lot 14):

Thanks Leon. I went into the auction on the group with the game plan of if I were to win the first several I'd better when them all. Some were steep while others were low so overall I was pretty happy with the ending lot price on the group as a whole.

Another HOF..
I still can't figure out how to scan this without it showing up so big and blurry! It looks fine on my computer but when I upload them they look like crap..

Good job, Rob. I'm down to 13. Sure glad we don't have to worry about front/back combinations and variations.

I received this cool blank backed 11 1/2 X 20 inch Oaks "premium" "supplement" "poster" or something today.
Thanx to Phil for alerting me to an auction by the same seller that helped me to notice this one. Doug PS - sorry, I meant to post this on the memorabilia side. I guess I shouldn't watch Family Guy while I'm posting. Last edited by doug.goodman; 12-03-2011 at 03:46 PM.

Heritage Auctions
Bought and paid for 5 cards from Heritage Auction in November. Maybe they will be shipped this month. If not maybe I can show them in "January Pick-ups".

I received my card from Heritage Auctions last week. As a reference point for those still waiting for their cards, I paid online the day after the auction closed.
