Great pick up!

[ValKehl]

Ryan, that is one fantastic addition to your collection - congrats!

[Rhotchkiss]

Thanks guys. I am really really excited. I can’t be the only one with a pickup so far, especially with the national happening.

[Brian]

Truly awesome ticket--congrats!

[Lobo Aullando]

I pretty much sacrificed my right knee to get these, but I'm happy.



Just kidding. I wouldn't sacrifice my knee for two cards. (I brought back a couple dozen.)

Very nice examples of two classic cards Lobo.

Ryan, it’s fun watching you put together your ticket collection with such iconic games.

Congrats to both of you.

Finally got the flip fixed on this one of a kind Ty Cobb-signed Detroit Seamless Steel Tubes postcard. Instead of simply saying "Postcard/Ty Cobb" on the flip, now it says "1907 Det. Seamless Steel Tubes/Ty Cobb/Postcard" and is graded a 9 for the autograph. Only cost me 4K and took two days to be completed for the rush price. Really enjoyed working with PSA on this one.



And here's a Betz Studio Cabinet of the 1894 Orioles team with Keeler, McGraw and Jennings amongst others. I've been after this card for years and haven't had any luck in finding one with a nice image, until two weeks ago in Hunt's auction. Somehow I turned on the live auction one lot too late and missed it. Incredibly, as I was leaving the show I spotted the very card on a table at nearly a 100% markup. The seller was kind enough to sell it to me for only a 40% markup (and I was genuinely thrilled to get it).

Congrats Jeff. That Cobby is off the charts. 4k to grade a card. I need that job.

And the other cards in this thread, just great! The Goudey Ruth batting has superb focus and coloring.
The CJ Cobby is another beautiful card as well as the rest in the thread...and after only 2 full days of the month. The passion is growing in the hobby. Love it.
Congrats everyone!

I have a few pickups I'll show later...

The pickups in this thread are amazing.

Jeff the seamless postcard is one of the most incredible pieces I've ever seen. What a pose. Your collection leaves one speechless.

Congrats!!!!
