August Pick Ups

[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.

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).

Jeff, you are going to need to open up a museum for your collection. Just incredible.

Working in Greensboro,NC for the last few weeks, today , I decided to see if they were any card shops in the area that had any prewar cards. The first call, a youth answered that did not even understand what “prewar” meant. After educating him, he said,” All we have is modern”……whatever that means
Not to be discouraged, I called the next shop on my list…..Score More Sports Collectibles in Winston-Salem. The young man that answered DID know what prewar meant and then said, well we have a few T206’s, so I drove the 26 miles to the shop. When I entered the shop, no one was there except the young man running the shop. I ID’d myself as the caller on T206’s and he directing me to the case where I spied at least 20 cards. My anticipation grew….While I was going through my list and pulling cards I needed , he brought out a box full of slabbed T206’s which were not priced yet. So then, I went through the box 5 at a time pulling cards I needed . I would say the box contained another 40 plus. The problem for me is that , once you past 400 in your collection, you seem to already have more of the cards than not.
BUT…..I did manage to add 12 beautifully graded cards with AMAZING eye appeal. The prices were quite reasonable and he gave me an additional discount for buying the 12. So , even though I missed the National again this year( hopefully next year), I was able to have a great afternoon of collecting. If you are looking for T206’s and are in the area……check these guys out…..I’m certainly glad I did.

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...

Awesome pickups, all.

It was another great National for sure.

I was able to pick up this humble Cobb and another one that was on my want list for quite some time.

If a board member here bought the W600 Konetchy from Heckathorn's table I would be interested in purchasing it.

Love that Cobb. I’ve been looking for one but saw that one too late.

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!!!!
