February Pickups

[paleocards]

The owner of my favorite shop called me last week to tell me that a nice collection had walked in his door. He sent me some scans of the cards he thought I'd be interested in, and I immediately knew which one I had to have. This is my first 19th-century HOFer and I'm thrilled it's an N162. To me, the brilliant color lithography of the Goodwins and the Allen & Ginters are so much more attractive than the often washed-out sepia photography of the N172 Old Judges. Anyway, here's my "newest" 126-year-old baseball card, enjoy!

After several years of looking, finally found a Dahlen

Great looking N162 with awesome color! My latest E92 Dockman pickup, Mr. Wagner.

What started as just want a few now has me worried I might be getting hooked on these cards...a few more OJ's.


Always wanted this pose.



Congrats Jamie on the Cobb and your run, well done sir.

Cheers,

John

Jamie,

Nice pickup on the Cobb. That Cobb run of yours is outstanding.

Regards,

Thanks guys.. I am certainly very happy with how it has come along.. when I first started I expected no more than 20.. due to the scarcity/cost of about 9 of them... with the blank I am now at 26.. one of the great things about this website is following the progress of collectors projects.... perhaps seeing something someone else has been looking for.. and letting them know... and watching the collections come together..

Looking forward to seeing everyone's Feb pick ups this month.

Steve.. congrats on finding the Dahlen

Brad.. i love that Ruth Postcard..

and John... those OJs are great.... are you getting into OJ's now? is there an agreed checklist for them? how many are in the set? if so it will be fun to follow ur progress here.

Brad that Ruth P C is beautiful, don`t think I`ve ever seen a Ruth sig. like that. Wow !

Geez, John, it's a tough enough market without having to fight another OJ aficionado! Just stick to buying all of Jay's extras!

Those three are beauties!

Jamie - Awesome Cobb run!! Congrats on the blank back; sweet!

A much lesser Cobb, but finding one of these without the red color shifted onto the white baseball, right bat, and right basepath of the diamond was a goal of mine.
