June Pickup Thread

[crazylocomerk]

Time to retire the May pickup thread.

Let's see what this month has in store for us!

[asphaltman76]

A couple different novelty leaders headed to the house from different places..and currently the two highest graded examples in the set. (Sorry about the scan on the second, I scan them again though once in hand....its a Traynor SGC 60)

I just picked up this T222 George Burns. It's very badly hurt, but I wanted to try a different set as I don't have a T222. I also needed a George Burns for the NY Giant pennant winning teams I collect.

[asphaltman76]

Nice card none the less...I love the Fatima's, and they are hard to get in anything above low grade.

[ItsOnlyGil]

1888 Giants has 6 HOFers. That team, if done with individual cards, makes for a serious project, and a heckofa presentation. I'm planning to get the Ward/Keefe/Ewing n28 & n29; and leave it at that.

One of the E94's I won last night. I don't mind the back damage. The front looks good and it's a Nagy Collection piece to boot.

my 2nd ever e94 cobb. still have never owned a young. also i see mastro is about to have their collector auction...then huggins and 19th century...where's the break i'm feeling burn out.

p.s. i also like the slabs you buy is a reminder of your present financial situation. it went from excellent to very good, then good and now consistently in the poor category .

[crazylocomerk]

Great looking Cobb. I tried to go after that one too, but couldn't get my bid in on time. Oh well....glad it went to a board member.

[mzm55]

Great looking cards, everyone. Here is a toughie that is really growing on me:

[T206.org]

I've been patiently waiting to find a nice Gibby at a nice price for months now. Landed this one June 3rd for $28.

Awesome Cobb, Quan!



I really wanted to bid on that one, but massive home improvements have left me with little or no hobby budget for awhile.

Zach, great D380 pickup. Setting the bar high for the type card collectors. Congrats!

DAMMIT QUAN!!

King of all orientals. Post your damn Nadja Wagner already!!!

[crazylocomerk]

The rest of my E94 pickups. I don't plan on going after the entire set....I just wanted some good examples. It does seem however, that no matter what I do and what I trade away, I always end up coming back to this set. It's my favorite E set.

These first three are from the Mastro Auctions Ebay offering:







This one I purchased from a fellow collector:


And these three I got via trade:






And these last two are for sale/trade in the Tobacco section of the B/S/T:

[hanksta]

[rman444]

Congrats again!

[nolemmings]

Thanks To Jeff Jenkins for this one, and to Gil for enlightening me about it.

[fisherboy7]

Nice Grove Todd. What's up with the green stripe on the back?

[nolemmings]

I will let Gil elucidate, as I am a greenhorn when it comes to W517s and was only looking for a nice Grove for my HOF type set, whereas he has studied the subject thoroughly. It is my understanding, though, that the green stripe entitled the holder to a candy prize.
