Nice Chuck. I would love if you posted a pic of your Drums and Uzits- that would be very cool to see. Not a bad few things to collect.

Agreed! Chuck, you have a great collection (at least judging from your pickups that you post). A drum thread would be pretty cool. We would love to see some pics! Would be some major Drum-envy!

Brian,

Is the photo of "Wild Bill" the back side of the postcard or separate from it. Sorry for the uneducated question, but what is his name?

Great pick-ups!
-----------------------------------
Brian: Just looked him up: May be "Wild Bill" Donovan from the 1908 Detroit Free Press Tigers postcard. Born Oct 13, 1876, died Dec 9, 1923.

Right-handed pitcher played for the Washington Senators (1898), Brooklyn Superbas (1899–1902), Detroit Tigers (1903–12; 1918), and New York Yankees (1915–16).

So neat to see everyone so fired up here. Some of those pick ups are divine. It was a slow month here but there was a small addition. Couldn't resist plucking a couple things from the estate of George Scott. Here are images of his lifetime pass and the first pro contract as an 18-year old.

Some years ago I finally put aside the excuses and built a site about my collection. It has a page for every HoFer and a couple hundred other baseball figures. It's called CooperstownExpert.com. If you have a favorite guy, or too much time on your hands, check it out.

Thanks for sharing your pick ups!!
