REA Pickups

on the turner rose chocolate ad postcard; it would have fit nicely in my turner collection. I was kind of irked by REA's not mentioning old Cottontop's name in the title.

I picked up the pair of Brooklyn Dodgers signed baseballs... no particular reason but I thought the price was decent and I liked the panel with Hodges/Furrillo/Pitler on one. I'm jealous of whoever picked up the 1912 WS Red Sox Medallion and the other lot with 17 1912 Red Sox photos... they are lucky that I am not a rich man.

The Baseball Hall Of Fame picked up the Ebbets Field Model.
That was a work of art.
If I remember I think everything is donated?

I was able to pick up one of my "white whale" cards that I have been looking for for nearly a decade but have never had the opportunity to purchase one (I always hoped it wouldn't get any much publicity until I was able to pick one up). I was willing to go MUCH higher but it was pretty well hidden in a larger lot so I am really happy.

He has almost always been simply listed as "Graham" or even "Peaches Graham" in most checklists but this card is in fact the only known individual card of "Field of Dreams" subject ARCHIBALD "MOONLIGHT" GRAHAM (who was played by Burt Lancaster).

in the Moses household as I woke up fulling expecting to be outbid on the Old Judge banner. With juice it hammered at least 1000. less than I expected. Despite my reluctance to do so based on so many discussions here and in the free market - I had to sleep and executed a "left" bid only 2 bids above my final winning bid. I "won" it at my initial amount. It is elegent and refined as well as rare and historically significant - at least to me. Yeah!!!

Josh, nice pickup, I licked that release card a lot.

Leon, nice e107, I always think that card is of cyclist Tyler Hamilton.

Picked this up

Great catch Rhett! Heck of a pickup.

Nice Premium Greg, was a steal. Do you have two now or is this a replacement one?

LKeeler · #10 10-20-2013, 12:58 PM

My two pickups from last night's auction. I previously had a '33 Delong Gehrig that I had to part with in order to fund a trip to Easter Island. Hasn't been an easy replacement. The Jackie replaces one I sold to Greg Schwartz years ago (Ok, 5 or 6), and I have been kicking myself for selling it ever since. The market for Jackie's rookie has obviously changed since then.

I bought the Ebbets model and hope to display it in a museum someday.

Thanks again guys. There were two printings of the Mayos over a two year period. One printing resulted in more of a black/white image while the other was more brownish than black. The former, which this card is an example of, always have sharper images.

Nice pick-up. As I recall, your home almost qualifies as a museum already, with that wall of T206s.

Gentlemen, I am making a conscientious effort to wax a little less enthusiastically when it comes to these pick up threads. But let me say this. After spending many hours perusing the latest REA catalog, both the hard copy and the online one (with all my watch-listed cards), I am very happy to see so many of those beautiful pieces finding their way to some really great owners. In the coming weeks, I can only imagine the myriad of smiles that will be popping up all over the country when your winnings arrive. Congratulations to you all, and to REA for what looks to be another rousing success!

Now THAT was fast!!!

Auction ended Sunday morning.

I mailed my check from MA on Monday morning.

REA shipped my items Wednesday.

Fedex just showed up at my office building with a package for me.

Holy CRAP - now THAT is service!!!
