Decent vintage pick up, scan

[timryan111]

Picked up a few cards today, this beauty was one of them.

 

[tyweb1]

Very nice. Looks great in that holder.

 

[Jastermereel]

Classic card.

 

[MaineMule]

....hmmmm, only "decent".....would like to see what an "awesome" pick-up would look like...

 

[imac220]

If that is decent, what is good?!?

 

[timryan111]

I don't really do much with vintage, but wasn't sure what to classify this as since the grade is pretty bad. So I said decent, if it is better then decent then good for me

If that card could talk, I'd like to sit down with it over a few beers and listen to how it got the way it is now. What a story it would be and what a great pick up it is!

Very true, never really thought of it like that. One thing that really did draw me to the card was the fact that it is 100 years old. I'm sure it would have a good story or two.

Let me start by saying that that is an AMAZING pickup, period.

I have to ask, are you under the age of 25? are you a "prospector"?

if you answered yes to either (or both) of those questions, then im not
surprised to hear that you felt the grade for that card was "bad".

as 69Mets mentioned, if that card could talk, id bet it has some really nice
stories to tell.

Vintage Cards are a whole other ballgame when it comes to condition....sure
huge dollars are paid for "gem mint" condition stuff, but for the most part,
vintage cards have a true history behind them.

Todays stuff, whole different ballgame. Todays cards are made better, packs
are opened with "kid gloves" for fear of damaging the contents. Collectors
have different mentalities then the kids of yesteryear.

I am not under 25...just turned the big 3-0 last month. I am not a true prospector either, I do a little bit of it, not nearly as much as some here. That being said I do almost nothing with vintage just thought this was a nice card.

Glad to hear it. Im 38 and just earlier this year really started to get into vintage slabs.
Thats a fantastic pickup! Im sure it was pretty costly as well. i wouldnt worry about the grade at all, enjoy
the beauty of the card.

Heres a Teddy Ballgame that i own, i love it and dont care that its in "bad" shape

Nice Williams, maybe I will start getting into vintage a little bit. Yes it was pretty expensive but I really liked it when I saw it. Thanks for the comments guys

Great Cobb!

 

[NerfXerks]

I likey.

 

[WoundedDuck]

Yeah...that grade is horrible .....I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands for ~$5 give or take....let me know :lol:

on a more serious note, how much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking? I'm hoping to start picking up some vintage and would love to start gauging prices for stuff.

 

[jeff550]

that is nice, who caresabout the grade for that, i wish i could afford that card

It was part of a larger deal, but I would say it was valued in the $500 range
