January Pickup Thread

[pcoz]

Just picked this one up this morning. HNY to everyone!

[jason.1969]

Love it!! The back ad is the building I worked in these past 10 years. Despite the name it's in Chicago.

I don’t own many pre-war cards, but I am super excited to add this one to my collection!

This will be unlikely to turn heads substantially in this forum, but is kind of a big deal to me. My first substantial prewar pickup in quite some time. It’s hard for me to believe how much even lower grade HOF from this era has climbed in value in the past 10-20 years:

Nice pick up John. A great card and nice eye appeal for the grade. Congrats!

[Rhotchkiss]

Very nice Cy Young Portrait.

Just got these in the mail. I believe the Jennings Brown Lenox is a previously uncatalogued/unconfirmed 1 of 1, and the E104-II Wagner is tough as well.

[gabrinus]

Nice ones Ryan......Jerry

Wonderful cards, Ryan. Congrats. You are my hero....I almost used to be like you in buying stuff but with a lot less moolah. It sure can be fun to get such rare cards.

[mrvster]

Jason, that Mathewson is nice. Any back damage?

Just a pea-sized amount of paper loss confined to the lower left corner on the reverse
-- Frankly doesn't hardly disrupt the back or intrude on the lettering outside of the lower 1/3 of the "A" in American Caramel Co.

For a beautiful front, it made sense for me.
It's really pretty in-hand!

[mechanicalman]

Jason, great eye per usual.

[jason.1969]

With these two pickups I'm now at 12/13 for my Brooklyn team set. Didn't expect to land ones this nice for the money I was looking to spend.

Nice Chuck!! Phat card

[VintageBen]

Not the best looking Dan-Dee Mantle that exists but was looking at something to purchase with my eBay bucks that wouldn’t break the bank.

Thanks Andy. I’m going to try it! Need a Hindu!!!

Back from SGC.

Some non-malicious writing on the back dropped this one a bit

Fun, fun, Scott

[Scott L.]

Super tough combo.

[ahumes13]

Scott G and Scott L, nice cards!

Got my MR Clark items today (from Round 1). Super excited to have my first Gehrig item, and I thought at a good price to boot. Has a slight tear at the top, but no paper loss and doesn't distract from the image. Then picked up a lot that included Jimmie Foxx.

Nice haul Andy. Fine looking Cobb Dan.

[RCMcKenzie]

Congrats on the 1935 Goudey Traynor, Brian. Here are a couple of T205's. Really enjoying working on this set. The prices are terrific. BTW, the HLC is in a "4" holder. I wonder what a "10" looks like...

Tim--

Great pickups! I have a soft spot for these as well.
Might I suggest that they look great sitting in SGC holders with that black background.
Really pleased with the outcome when I slabbed mine a few years back.

You're right. I saw a SGC one online the other day, and i thought the black background really made the white and orange pop.

I gave that one a lot of consideration. Looks even nicer than I thought it was. Great pickup!

Yeah you don’t see them a lot. Kind of an under the radar Cobb card compared to some of the more well known ones.
