December Pick Up Thread

[cracker_jack]

Sat out the whole pandemic thing and then December hit. Couple of auctions and some good folks from the BST....

[babraham]

Fun mail day today!
A pile of Collins-McCarthy cards from the last Collector Connection auction (thanks Scott!) and a beautiful 68T Carew from eBay.

Got this Stone from a neighbor for Christmas.

The only thing better than a graded T206... is a free graded T206!

That is a great photo Greg.

Last big card of the year was a very big one for me. My first Wagner. Purchased on Net54.

[Vintagecatcher]

These 2 rarities arrived today, a Hank Gowdy B18 (Red infield) and a James LaFitte T211 Red Sun card.

Thanks to REA for the B18 and to Christopher for the T211 via the BST thread.

A nice way to end a great collecting year.

Happy Holidays,

Patrick

[Vintagedeputy]

Picked up these T205’s for a great price.

Also got the 1956 Early Wynn. It’s in nice shape except for a small, odd little cigarette ash burn? on the back.

[ullmandds]

My LOTG winning finally arrived. Happy days are here again!!!!!

Great photo of "the old fox". One of my all-time favorites. I proudly possess a t205 and t206 of him.

Greg, great looking Witmor Candy card of Wheat. Which back does it have? I love cards like this from obscure sets.

[JohnP0621]

Picked up these 2 beauties at a local card show.

[RCFire82]

Couple more...

[CardPadre]

Got a wrapper this month (really enjoyed seeing the REA offering of almost all of the ‘33 wrappers they had recently).

Well, it took me 4 years to complete (and sell) a 520 T206 Peidmont/SC (PB) set.

Now been working 6 years on a T206 "mid-tier" back set (still in progress )

So, I figure, time for something new ...... T207s !!!!

Just two favorites for now ..........

Marsans --- Yes, Virginia, T207s do have diamond cuts .....

Benz -- "Hey pal, what the hell are you looking at" ...........

Fun, fun, (and Merry, merry), Scott

[jason.1969]

Got about halfway to another Dodger team set. Love how affordable 1940 Play Ball is if you’re not chasing Jackson, Teddy, or Joe D.

My first Ruth card, although this is nearly the size of an exhibit. Bought from a board member who was patient to let me get my financing in order.

Congrats on your first Ruth Card and glad to hear a fellow board member worked with you on it.

And most importantly Welcome to the Ruth family.

Congrats it’s a beautiful image. Happy Holidays.

[eliotdeutsch]

Squeezed this guy in before year end.

[joejo20]

I am thrilled to finish off the year with these two toughies

I’d be willing to bet that the missing corners were once holding thumb tacks pinned to a wall, and the card was yanked down.

[ullmandds]

Boston babe for the ruth collection.

Likely one of the last playing day ruth cards.

[Rich Falvo]

Great stuff everyone.

Very glad to add this low-pop card. Thanks Jeff T.

They are great cards in every way, as are 1939 and 1941. I am with you!

[ecRich]

As a long time 1930’s collector, I had to go for my first R340.

Off off off

Happy New Years. I was excited to cross this off my list.
