Re: NOVEMBER 2009 Pickup Thread

Great looking cards. The Wagner as a 1 is a great buy, the Johnson T202 is rally nice. If anyone is looking to pick up HOFers cheap the T202 is the best way to go. You can pick up decent looking for around $500.

I second what Lee and Eric said - that Wagner is a beaut, Blair. One of the best looking "1's" you'll ever see. If it was that ebay BIN a week or two ago, then you got a steal!

Don'y usually post my pickups but I am very happy to finally own this one

Hi Ben,

You got it - that is the one! I took a bit of a flyer on a very blurry pic of the card, but I exchanged e-mail with the seller so I got a better idea of what the card was like.

[bowlingshoeguy]

Jim, if you ever decide to sell it, please keep me in mind as I need that card for my Sovereign back subset.

[Jim Rivera cfc1909]

Thanks guys-I have wanted this card for a long time but everytime I saw one I liked it was too much $$ and not the right back.

I am not a 205 guy but this is a great card and a tough back.

Jay if I ever sell it -you will be the first to know because this one needs a good home not just someone that is going to flip it. I am sure this would get a better grade if reviewed. This is one of the best 2s I have ever seen and a Sovereign back

here ya go Jay

This one today...a real beauty example of a super-tough card of this legendary pitcher:

My other pickup from B-L Auctions.

I love those OPC batter-up style cards. So much better looking than theri American counterparts. I probably think that because they are similar to Delongs.

Hi Jay,

Yeah exactly - sort of a cross b/w Delong and the Batter-Ups! I like them too. A scarce set with some important cards (including very early Dimaggio and Bob Feller cards). The Red Sox from this set are pretty much all HOF, including Grove, Foxx, Cronin and Rick Ferrell.

I didn't think I'd win any of the Uncle Jacks in the Goodwin auction last night. Excited to see I won some, including these two:

Great Uncle Jack pickups, King! Great looking examples of HOFers. Congrats!


As for me, I picked up a Voskamp in Goodwin and a 1902 version of McGraw's W600 in Legendary. (McGraw's earliest "obtainable" piece of cardboard since his Alpha Engraving is a 1/1).

King, I just knew you'd come away with some of those Uncle Jack's. Very very nice. My lone pick up.
1908 Cubbies cabinet photo. I thought the Angers Ice Cream Cone ball caps the players are wearing
was very unique. Tinker, top row, 5th in from the left looks like a real nerd in this shot. LOVE IT!!!

[crazylocomerk]

Wow....November really has turned out to be a great month for pickups! Congrats to all. Very nice pickups King, Brian, and Tony.

I always wanted a T207 Cycle, I love the red, and know I finally have one:

Thanks to Bob Craik



And a recent AB back purchase:

[bowlingshoeguy]

It looks like someone was looking at their Keefe card and breakfast and spilled their grape juice. Doah!

Nice Keefe!!!!!!

Lee

[Wiggum Fan]

Yeah it's interesting to look at, the scanner didn't do it justice. First Keefe. Got it for about $100 less than the last VCP price so I can live with it.

[bowlingshoeguy]

I love the Cubs team photo, but who would name a ice cream cone company Angers?

[cccc]
