January 2009 Pick-ups

Great card Zach!

I think the cow was producing chocolate milk.

My 2 latest additions, a little paperloss sure make cards more reasonable. The Glasscock makes for N162 #2.





Lee

Picked up another one toward my suffering '33 Goudey HOF EX/NM set.

-Brian

Good looking card Brian! Very nice centering!

Thanks. I always thought that Joe Cronin and Jim Bottomley looked kinda goofy in their poses in this set. Jim has his hat on sideways and Joe is making a weird face. Nonetheless, the HOF set is not complete without those two good players.

lee freaking sweet cards...i'm warming up to those 19th cent issue. i'm also impressed by beckett grading lately, their cards have looked the best out of the big 3 in term of presentation. hopefully they've turned a corner and their cards stay underground pricewise.

Card show Pick-ups today

Nice pickups Jerry! What card show did you go to?

Thanks Eric, It's a semi-Annual Tri-Star Show in Houston. It's one of those autograph extravaganza's.

Jerry, I knew you were old but I'm impressed with you pulling a Barber coin out of your pocket for the scan. Why didn't you keep those baseball cards from that era too?

Jay

Nice assortment Jerry, are you aware there is a collector (John Dreker I believe) that collects Larry Cochrane OJs?

Lee

Thanks Guys
Jay, I dug that Barber quarter with my metal detector at an old Ghost town site
Lee, I understand why someone would collect him... I researched Corcoran's stats and for 5 yrs (Early 1880's) he was a dominate pitcher much like Koufax was in the middle 60's.
Check out this article on him, if you feel like it..I think you will be amazed at his 5 yr run.

Great looking cards, everyone! This has been a very productive month for me, here is my lastest addition:



I now own 8 of the 20 cards in the set.

Congrats on the Voskamp's, Zach
You sure come up with some Cool Cards
When I was your age..all I came up with was speeding tickets.

Back to cardshow for final day. Nothing spectacular but a few tidbits

Hey i picked up this card a few years ago did not know what I had want to get it graded, does it appear authentic just by the pics thanks

Is it just me or is that pose of Griffith a little... odd.

I know it isn't unheard of for a baseball player to grab his crotch, but that looks like an unfortunate pose for that image.

Then again, perhaps I am just a bit too sophomoric in my thinking.

It's not you - it's the series' artist. Peckinpaugh's bat is totally phallic.

Hey Mike.....do you have a pic? We'll definitely be able to help you out.

Another nice one Zach! It has been a while since you added to your Voskamps collection, congrats!

Here is the latest addition to my E107 HOFer collection. Thanks, Eric!

Look time no see from chefmike, welcome back and nice pickup.

Have you been cooking lots of frozen food in MN? It has been way too cold here in MN.

Lee

Thanks for the kind words, Lee. I usually come to the site almost every night, it's just been a while since I've posted any of my cards so I thought that I would start by showing the Wagner. And yes, it's pretty cold where I'm at too (Rochester)
