September Pick Up Thread

[chadeast]

Two new HOF'ers for my T205 set arrived this week, courtesy of the BST. Thanks Mark and Jarrod!

[Natswin2019]

Picked up another T210 for the collection, one of the harder ones imo as this is first one I've ever seen come up for sale.

[NYYFan63]

Picked this up at the Dallas Show today…

I just busted this 1915 Cracker Jack out of one of those dreaded Pro Grading slabs. It wasn't easy because the plastic they use is like rubber and doesn't break. I basically had to pry the thing open, and reach in and quickly grab the card before it slammed shut on my fingers. It was graded an "8," but it's clearly not. Still, I love the image.

Got the black candy in last week to add to the run.

Chris, that's a delicate operation, those CJ's are so thin they crease if you look at em' sideways. Nice card.

DJ, congrats on a phenomenal back run. How many left?

Just 2 that are known, one easy (e90-1) and one a bit harder (T216 Kotton).

Congrats DJ. That’s a hell of a back run

[RCMcKenzie]

Great run, DJ. From a quick search, Young appears in the T216 Kotton thin series, which means he could also be found with the Virginia Extra back.

Correct, from my understanding though, no VE of Young is known. Just to add, I have no reason to suggest a red croft doesn't exist either, but I'm not aware of one existing.

I'm working on a back run with the same circumstance, technically it could exist but nobody's ever seen one. I don't think you can count those, you have to be realistic at some point, good luck on closing it out.

Nice pick up for the back run, DJ. My guess is there are still some cards to be found. I love VE's so hopefully more of those come out in the future.

My last 3 T206 HOF portrait pick ups arrived just prior to September, but I'm just now finding time to post em.

Although I will continue to upgrade as I find them, this now completes my T206 HOF portrait subset run minus only Honus. I may have to settle for a nice reprint for that one

Beautiful Set Tony! Congrats! That Plank is amazing.

Beautiful subset!
And best of luck on your Wagner reprint search.

Great cards this month...awesome back run DJ!!...Jerry

[Brian Van Horn]

OT. Not Pre-War or Post-War, but 1943 and from Venezuela where my parents lived and my dad worked for US Steel's Orinoco after graduating Ohio State, which in my opinion is Ohio State and not The Ohio State. Both parents graduated Ohio State.

Chris & Brian , thank you guys!

[wazoo]

I like the ones that are well loved

[nolemmings]

I won another (not Aaron) Judge rookie!!! This one looks great for the grade IMO, but more importantly, does not cut off the last letter in "Americans". Very few 1916 Joe Judge cards have the complete team designation--many have no part of the "s" showing.


Grading companies don't seem to care:

Here is my Sept. pickup. It is not a Ruth or a Jackson but I have been chasing this card for about 4 years.
It is a low grade. But on a scarce quantity card but I actually do like the eye appeal and I am proud to add it to my collection

[DeanH3]

WOW. That is a great card, Jeff. Congrats!

Added HOFer, "Ol' Stubblebeard" to my R316 set. The last pitcher to legally throw the spitter. I really dig this image of Grimes. Only 16 left to complete the set.

Big thanks to Luke for these two colorful upgrades:

AB Campbell -- arguably the most colorful card in set ......
OM Chase, white -- let's say a colorful personality .......
