September Pickups

A few of my recent pickups as the quest continues. A special thanks to Lee Behrens who has been very helpful in my continuing quest. He was my obvious choice for superior Behrens brother.


Best,

Scott

Congrats on the monster trade Jay. How many T205's does that give you now?

I'm up to a whopping 45 cards now, but I have a lot of the tougher and more expensive cards out of the way. Not chasing the Hobby no stats. I was debating if I should try and get all the cards of one back. This trade settled that as most of the cards in the trade have Sovereign backs, so I guess I try and put together a set of those. HLCs were the other choice as my old collection was largely HLC.

Picked up another Omaha OJ in an unexpected venue...Puts me at 8 for my player team set....I know I'll never own a Flynn or Doran, but I think the Cooney is somewhat tough.

Great cards everyone!

Here are a few recent T209 additions. The Sexton, McGeehan and Roth are relatively difficult cards in the set and I'm glad to add them to my binder.

Are there 2 poses for Mcgeehan in the set? I used to have one but I'm pretty sure it wasn't that pose.

Jay

My 1st oj from west of the miss. Downgrade of my e90-3 type (anybody interested in a vg-ex schulte?).

Nice cards Zach, those t209-2 portraits are great. Such vivid photos. The "King" Kelly card is also cool.

So what's the set count up to now?

nice t209s indeed.

Zach,

I do enjoy watching your T209 quest progress. Thanks for sharing your pickups as you go.

Thanks,

AndyH

Thank you for the great response.

Jay, yes, there are two McGeehan cards in the set and both are with Wilson. Oddly enough, both the portrait and action pose (they are two separate players) are difficult to find within the set.

Ben, these new additions put me at a little over 90 different examples from the set, including a complete Greenville team subset. I’ll make a thread this week about the set and share some neat images with the board.

90 T209-2's!! Impressive. I bet they look great all together in a binder.

Looking forward to your thread Zach. Thanks for sharing.

I have to pick this one up at the post office in the morning, but here is the scan.

Not really a new pickup, and I'm not sure if I've shown it or not. If I have I'm sorry.

Bob....this one is for you!

I found a group of 13 the first week of June. This is the one I kept for my backs line to fill the Piedmont spot.

HaHa! Nice! Hey at least we have the same taste.

Now I'm Double Piedmont Factory 42 Jealous.

Hurricane Ike interrupted a Trade with a Board member but the Cards have been mailed , so I guess I can Post my first Post-Ike Sepia Toned Pick-Up

I love that Silver Flint card with the Mask & Glove, Nice Pick-up

2 more Sovereigns for the collections

I read the Frank DeFord book on Matty and McGraw not too long and have been looking for a decent McGraw card. Plus I've been wanting a Famous-Barr reverse for awhile, so I'm pretty happy with September's one and probably only arrival.

Zour's what issue is the Lefty Grove?

The Giants had to love those black uniforms in the summer. I think this is the first time I ever saw an all black Giants uniform.

Was shut out on the Pink Keeler that I wanted but regrouped and nabbed this one.
