Legendary Pickups. . .

[packs]

I bought the Walter Johnson 1908 postcard. I thought it was a special piece. I like the idea of the Big Train sitting down and writing a postcard to his friend after a win. It was only a few months into his second big league season. Signed Walter J.

It's not baseball, but for the first time I won a lot in
Legendary/(Mastro) Auctions. I feel I got this at a
great price too!

I'm a big collector of Philadelphia Caramel sets, so
I now have the E33 set checked off my list.

Thanks Peter! Why would it be strange that SGC would label as both? I have several rookies (Stargell, T. Perez, etc..) where their practice is the same.

I don't know? I guess I don't really have any modern...slabbed cards?! You just don't see designations like that on vintage cards?!

Too bad it didn't have a Weiser Wonder front!!! Cool item nonetheless.

As for me, I came away with the 1915 PM1 Eppa Rixey and the 1942 Musial press photo. I had looked, but never found, an online image of the Rixey pin until this auction! Very happy to get it for relatively cheap. I was certainly willing to pay significantly more for it.

Very special Johnson piece, Packs--congrats! I got some great stuff, including Walter's autographed 50th birthday menu "scorecard" and the scored program from his 110th and final shutout game, one of the few records that is guaranteed to never be broken, plus some terrific Senators pieces. What a smorgasbord for Washington collectors this was, from the Kent Feddeman collection. Don't know about the cards, but I thought this was a real buyer's auction on the memorabilia side, lots of "bargains" to be had.

Very special in my opinion. I wanted it, but dropped out in the extended bidding to go after other things. Last night was kind of frustrating - lots of stuff I wanted, but having the 30-minute rule end at the same time for all of them meant I had to drop out on several things. Then ended up with 2/3 of my budget left

Only picked up one item, but I really like it:

Added another from my favorite oddball set...the 1913 Cravats pennants.

I used to own this, had it framed this way. Only Washington example I've ever seen. Are your other Cravats one of a kind?

I have seen two of Bedient, Dooin, Mathewson, and Speaker. Otherwise, only one of Ainsmith, Archer, Bender, Caldwell, Coombs, Doyle, Konetchy, Lavender, McGraw, Sweeney, Thomas, Tinker, and Walsh. I haven't seen Baker, McInnis, Meyers, Rucker, or Tesreau yet...and there are likely more that remain uncataloged.

Most that I have seen are in poor condition and show stitch marks. Tik and Tik had a large lot of them 15+ years ago that came from the same source. I am guessing that is where this Ainsmith originally came from as well. Somebody must have stitched several together. Funny that most of the surviving Cravats came from a homemade banner.

Scott, that card is really nice. I was looking at it extensively. E107's are outside of my realm, so I didn't participate, especially after my most recent pickup. But that is a nice looking card. You got a good one.

Cheers.

Thanks Cy. I have no real idea as to value on these, so just went after a few with nice images. I'm curious what other E107 winners (at the low end, with me) think of the prices last night.

Scott- That was the card I chased, I really liked it but gave up at the end because I don't collect E107s. Congrats!
