August Pickup Thread

[paul]

I'll start things off with this one.

[DanP]

Picked this up from a board member in July, just back from SGC today.
Grimes RC

[Vol]

Well loved.

[CharleyBrown]

Very nice pickups so far... Mine will come in later this week, but I won't get the chance to post them then, so here goes:

Pre-War from Bagger's Auction:



Post-War: I received these from the winner of the Leland's Sal LaRocca collection:


(PSA Pop 6)




(PSA Pop 5)

I now have 5 of the 13 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson's... ironically, I still don't have the most common of the 13 (fasc. signature).

[CharleyBrown]

Double post.

1915 Susini (Cuban), featuring Tris Speaker and Red Murray.

Lovely Day...

Noticed a new card shop opened in a small town today. Stopped and the guy had 90% new stuff, some 50-70's and just three tobacco cards. A trimmed American Caramel, a beater T206, and this one:

Picked Heinie up in a BST trade & my first AB.

My first pick up in a long time. Picked up this beauty from a fellow board member. Can't wait for it to arrive. Thanks Scot!

[cozmokramer]

Very light image... but a very tough card to come by.

[rp12367]

Two are actually from July:

Munson Series 7 PSA 3.5
Bowen Series 2 GAI 3.5 (Double checked card, it looked short in holder, but size is 100% correct size, compaired it too many raw T210's )

Came Today August 1

Harrington Series 5 SGC 30

[Jcfowler6]

I was excited to get a few things toward my Pirates collection. This is my first Wagner item from when he was playing.


The Byrne M101 I picked up off a fellow board member Rob G. AKA tiger8mush. Thanks Rob.

Picked this one up at the National, it's a 1937 Rochester Red Wings premium w/Walter Alston (front row, second from right) pictured during his second season in professional baseball..............

[Tim Kindler]

Matt,
That Bishop Weaver is OUTSTANDING! What a great pickup! Great talking with you at the Dinner Friday night.
Take Care,
Tim

[Tom S.]

Got a couple of cards for my type set (sorry for the large pics).

I purchased this one from Roger Neufeldt...




...and this one was bought from Joe's Vintage Sports Cards.

[MVSNYC]

looks like i'm back in the T206 rare back game...thanks to Scott L., Mike H., Michael G. & Joe's Vintage! (sorry for the fuzzy pics & scans, i need to do new scans). feel free to PM me if you have any rare backs for sale or trade.

[DanP]

Upgrade Coveleski RC (great transaction from a N54'er)

[atx840]

Fairly certain Skydash was a board member who consigned a large find, he originally came here under the pretense that it was his wife's late grandfathers collection. Some amazing t206s & tin tops. Google him and you can read the whole story.

Hey thanks Chris.Its nice to know some background on these cards.

[tbob]

The whole Skydash thing was kind of odd. I know the cards I have in Lionel Carter and Frank Nagy slabs will stay that way forever but I can't wait to crack and resubmit the cards I won in the "Skydash" collection

[John V]

Bob,
Not sure I understand. Why do you want to get rid of the Skydash slabs?

why not? he's not a hobby pioneer (or even a collector that cares anything about cards), just some dude that got lucky and cashed in.

Three upgrades for my 1941 Play Ball set from the Memory Lane auction.....the Eddie Miller is a toughie. (I know it's not pre-war, but I snagged a nice '52 Bowman Willie Mays also)....................

[Big Six]

I had this EPDG Chase slabbed...I'll likely move it since I got it for a pretty decent price and put it towards one in better condition...my real reason for posting though was because SGC graded on site in White Plains this weekend...what a great service to be able to offer. Hope they keep doing it...



Back image is from before it being slabbed...

[usernamealreadytaken]

Funny how getting cards back from grading is like getting new cards (some were new pickups)...

[atx840]

Chris nice HINDUs!

If you ever decide to let a few go I am VERY interested

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, MSB:

[Mikehealer]

Got this in a trade with a fellow net54 member. Nice Hindus Chris.

From SGC Graded Cards

[Eric -goudeyhunter]

Hey gang,

It's been a few years since I've poked my head into the net54 board. Anyways, I managed to track down a fairly decent card this month. Don't call it a comeback..

[atx840]

Glad you won it! Eyes peeled on the remaining three.

[tbob]

Hi Chris. I would be remiss not to thank you for contacting me about this card.

This little jewel finally completed my T200 Fatima set after a 3 year search.

[glchen]

I picked up this Ruth beater recently. I think it looks good from looking at the Alterations FAQ for M101-5. However, can anyone else confirm?

It's GAI, and I think/hope GAI can still figure out authenticity at least, but the weird thing is that the cert # returned Cert Not Found at GAI's website. Obviously GAI has its issues, and I'm planning on crossing over the card to PSA or SGC fairly soon. The card has a tear in it, so it's very fragile, so I might have to go to BVG to get it holdered.
