September pickups

[earlywynnfan]

Great stuff from Clean Sweep last month. Here are a few faves I picked up.

1) Ernie I've been waiting for for a while. I was hoping for one with the periods like I use, but this will have to do

2) How can you not love the name Phenomenal Smith??

3) For my WWII collection, Robin Roberts' discharge papers. Think someone lost a pile flipping this from Hunt.

Great pickups Ken. I was able to secure a couple of great items from them as well.

An oddball item i'll tuck in here...

Family friends with the Kepner's, whose son, Tyler, is the New York Times' national baseball writer. In the late 80s/early 90s, he self-published his own baseball periodical, to which my family subscribed. Hard to tell you how many of these I *ruined* as an elementary school student. Several years ago, when promoting his book "K", he was gracious enough to sign several surviving copies...

Got these back from PSA today.

Thanks to Steve S I was able to add to my 1914 Braves collection.

I just picked up this HOF Lefty Grove 1939 signed GPC.
This is the nicest signed Grove GPC that I have ever come across.
Grove beautifully signed the GPC in fountain pen using his better signature that features really nice flow with flourish.
IMHO, the extra added typed bio on Grove and picture put it over the top.

Nice stuff as usual Stuart!

I still don't have a full name Wagner signed but did pick up a written postcard.

That one is over-the-top cool, Scott, it's got everything! Even the picture is unusual and wonderful; it's from his playing days; and that autograph is the best Grove anybody has ever seen. Fantastic pickup!

Thanks Hank!

Excited to add a 1908 letter from A.O. "Dutch" Jordan regarding a former teammate Phil Sitton who played with him in Atlanta. Dutch had a brief major league career from 1903-1904 but is included in the T206 set.

One of my most expensive purchases ever. The 2nd picture I have had for awhile and might think of trading for a signed card I need of equal value. Possibly a autograph not on a card of a HOFer I need but I have most of the easier ones. I'm keeping the double signed one

Wow. Congratulations on the Mathewson items!

[UKCardGuy]

Sorry, I posted to the wrong thread.

[Lordstan]

Wow. Some phenomenal stuff posted, especially that Matty. Congrats to all

[Scott Garner]

Love the Matty's!!

Picked up two tough Deadball era autographs this week. One being Otto Pep Deininger and a full letter signed by Charles V. Moran.
