Aug Pickups

Thanks Blair...awesome pickups by the way! The orange is supposed to be the easiest! We'll see about that!

I don't really focus on collecting autographs, but it caught my attention that Lelands was auctioning on eBay some autographs collected by a now deceased sports writer. It appears one focus of his was getting autos of players on the 1915 Red Sox team. So I placed winning bids on 6 of those.

But the non-Red Sox one that I liked best was a Sam Crawford autographed postcard. The strong auto was personalized to Thomas C. Eakin of Ohio, who went on to become the founder and President of the Ohio Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. So I am happy to have gotten that one too:

I like this one of Ray Collins, as he gives his short career summary and record. Interestingly, he credits himself with 2 more wins than he actually had:

Nice pickups Jeff. I hadn't seen the Trap Shotting cards until recently and have really got to like them.

Couple recent pickups...

Wow, nice pick up on the Harry. It's hard to find that card with good contrast. Where'd you get it?

I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I saw that Wright card on Ebay. Great pick-up Chris, wish I had the cash at the time.

Thanks guys - yep I did find the Wright on ebay. Its one of the best images I have seen on a Wright OJ in some time, so I am really happy to have added it to my collection.

Way to go Chris. That Wright card is one of my favorites and i know you've been waiting awhile to land one.

Why is the B18 blanket "A", do they not assign numbers?

Thanks to Rob Adesso

Wow. You can get a B18 slabbed? It looks fantastic!

Nice Boner Big6.

I don't think Sgc slabs B18's anymore. I picked this one up on ebay pre graded, I think I picked it up because it was slabed it dose look cool

My first T202 from a recent auction - I think Ive caught the bug!:
