May Pickups

[pherbener]

I just picked up a Wags signed HOF first day cover to add to my collection. Ran to the UPS distribution center last night to get it! I think I have a problem! :-)

My first pick-up (worth showing) in nearly five months. While I am not a fan of the medium (I haven't bought a baseball already signed in over 10 years), I couldn't pass up the opportunity of adding the potential hall-of-famer:

Sooooo psyched to add my newest card. A real toughie. Hi Bell died in 1949, so only a 15yr window to sign the card. Now at 81/96

Nice one, Mark! Congrats.

[Lordstan]

Thanks Scott. Never thought I'd find one of him.

81/96 1934 Goudey signed is f'ing nuts! Amazing job!

This Stargell is absolutely my Holy Grail. I knew I would have to pay through the nose to get a signed copy, but was thrilled that in doing so I was able to get a rookie era signature on it. As few of the signed Stargell rookies as there are out there, one that was signed by him as a rookie (or thereabouts) is that much tougher. Paid high but am on cloud nine that I was able to get it.





This Rose just went way too cheap for me to pass up. Rookie era signature (never seen another on his 1963 Topps) on a card that would likely sell for $450-500 without the autograph. Love it.

Thanks Mark. It's been a long road.
If you wish to see them all, follow the link in my signature.

Damn Mark, that is awesome. Congrats on the pickup. How many of the last 15 are possible or probable?

[Lordstan]

Mike,
Long time, buddy.
Thanks.

I have seen examples of all the HOFers that remain. I am not sure if the non HOFers are all available, but have seen copies of most at some point. There are none that are technically impossible.

[Lordstan]

WooHoo. It has been a good year for my Goudey set. With this new one it will be 5 this year after a 2 year drought. Now at 82/96.

A big thanks to Pete Fishman who helped me acquire 3 and Jason May who helped make it possible for me to acquire the most recent 2. I love this board.

Hey Mark, yeah it has been awhile. Took some time off from the hobby, but getting back in so I can finish off my memorabilia rooms. Should have some pictures of at least one of them soon. Damn, 2 pickups for your Goudey set is outstanding. Hopefully the second half of the year will be just as good.
