August Pick Up Thread

[rainier2004]

This is a crazy month for p/u's, nice cards for sure. Like the Cobby Brian.

This came this weekend, the slab is huge, 5/8" thick and could probably be used as a weapon. I believe this to be Wags earliest image and he is still with Louisville prior to the 16 team expansion about to take place. Super clean image and a great bio on the back. I had to build a shelf in the safe so it would fit, pretty stoked to say the least. Sorry for the huge images.

Very nice! Definitely his earliest individual image, although I believe the 1898 National Copper Plate would be considered his “rookie”. Given that it’s the same image and you got it for considerably less dough, I’d say you got yourself a great item there! Yes, those BGS slabs are ridiculous, but they’re the only TPG that will grade this issue (not that it’s necessary).

For what it’s worth, there are a few team cabinets and pins that have images that pre-date his M101 image (1895 Warren and 1896 Paterson teams come to mind), but who cares? Your piece kicks arse!!! That would look great in any collection!!!

Thanks Derek, I don't know about those other images? Im assuming those items must be pretty tough, Ill have to keep my eye out...but wow, minor league images from 1895?

So the mail lady came again, she is being nice to me at the moment.

I am glad you won that! I had an early bid on it and was watching. Great piece.

Jeff, looking forward to whatever Wagner items you have in November.

Very nice Arndt. I think that's the only back of his that I don't have other than the Broad Leaf that I probably won't ever get.

That an amazing story with amazing images. The amount of research in that seems overwhelming mind blowing, thanks for sharing.

Orly - Thanks dude.
