June 2012 Baseball Pickups

Ty, at least you can read the sigs on those balls. I was looking at the ball in Goodwin that is supposed to be signed by Joe Jackson and others and I could tell something was written on the ball but the sigs are so faint it could be anything. Will be interest to see what the ball goes for.

Some of the sigs are awfully faint, but most are legible. One of the "Dean Nicholson" autos is on the seem, which sucks! Most, if not all, the sigs look like they were the first (and probably the last) time any of these young men signed a baseball. Including a "Wayne Wright" that looks like "Shoeless" Joe himself penned it.

The Ellensburg Cowboys began in 1946 and folded in 1954.

You weren't kidding, Jay, when you said this isn't a hot set right now. I've acquired four of them so far, all PSA graded and including two HOF's (Bucky Harris and Heinie Manush), and on three of the four I was the sole bidder. No competitor. Hey, so be it. If everyone else wants to sit out while I swoop up a great, underrated set, fine with me.

Wow, Jeff
Great Pick up, Thats stunning

Very happy with the card...quite a nice "2" I think:

Ben will be jealous!

Not Red Sox player. Beware The Wrath of Ben coming to a forum near you

True, but I think I establshed that I have a run of white cap Benders going from different sets...picked up 4 of them over the last 3 years (see my Bender post in the Takes 2 to Tango thread).

So really, Ben is turfing in on me... .

I got my 4th Goodwin and a HOFer!

No worries. Plenty of E102's to go around. Now, if it was a t216 Virginia Extra Bender, we'd have trouble

nice lee, i was watching that one on the 'bay

Just looked up completed items, great deal on that Brouthers Lee!

Very nice, Lee!

The Bonehead is mine. Seller called the card 'undergraded.' I would usually dismiss that as salesmanship, but in this case I'd have to agree. I'm off to touch second!

Seems that there are some M116s floating around lately...me likey:

another big haul for me the last couple weeks. the early 90's stuff is right in my wheelhouse**, especially the chipper jones and todd van poppel finally got them after searching for a couple months. other highlights include one of the dodger's biggest draft bust bill bene, who was arrested by the FBI a couple months back for selling pirated karaoke songs, and an obligatory prewar card to stay on-topic.

**it's damn fun seeing cards from your childhood!

Quan, what is that ugly black and white card doing in the group? You should give it to me.

The Merkle portrait is terrific.

Nice to see some of those 80s cards; haven't seen a Monty Fariss in a while.

Thanks guys, I thought the Brothers was a reasonable price for a 19th century HOFer. Lowly getting those 19th century HOFers. I have a big one coming soon!

it's a SIGNED fariss, so worth about 50cents more!

WOW!!!
