Vintage Pick Up Thread

Very nice, Jay! I remember seeing him mentioned quite a bit in Ty Cobbs biography. Quite a pitcher he was!

1958 Topps Jim Bunning. IDK what the raw going rate is (I know they BV around $30) and I got one for $7.49.

Pretty good pickup IMO.

T207 John Warhop PSA 3
These T207's are tough to find. I've got 2 of the 5 Americans/Yankees so far.

Oh snap! Missed this one, Danny. VERY nice!!!! :mrgreen: It's tough to find Boston [AL] T207s, sadly. Would really like another one....one of my all time favorite sets!

Thanks, Scott. Donovan was a local guy, too (born in Lawrence.)

Jay, I don't know what your finances are like, but there's several T206 lots in the upcoming Huggins & Scott auction that starts tomorrow. You may want to look into them if you have that kind of money.

 

[jay1065]

Although those T206 lots are amazing, they grade out much higher than my set. I'm going for poor/fair all around (good if the price is right.)

 

[Weimer]

Just figured I'd let you know in case you cared or missed it.

 

[jay1065]

Thanks! I like browsing those lots, however. The near set (519/524) is amazing.

A couple more old Yankees:
Russell Ford with white cap SGC 40
Dixie Walker 1936 Diamond Stars (blue lettering on back) PSA 6

Just picked this up. I have 16 of 21 of the Athletics in PSA 3 or 4. If I win the $200 million megamillions on Friday I will up my complete set goal to 22 and get the Plank.

Nice pick ups everybody. Donovan's T206 action pose is one of my favorite cards from the set.

I've got a couple nice vintage pieces at the framer right now. I'm hoping to pick them up this weekend so I can take some pictures, post them, and show them off.

Love that Murphy!

T205 Hal Chase Gold Border Extends card PSA 4 (MC). The top to bottom centering doesn't bother me.
I only need the Hal Chase one ear showing card to finish off the T205 Yankees.

Answered a classified ad and bought a lot of 105 Cubs commons 1957-66.

Very happy to land this one (#76/520):

Very nice card. I love the Lajoie portrait the bat off shoulder pose. Not as big a fan of the throwing one though. Mind if I ask what you paid for that Lajoie?

 

[scotty21690]

Nicely done, Jay! Do you purchase all of your T206s off eBay?


Here is my latest:

Thanks! The portrait is my favorite, as well. I paid $106 for it. A little higher than I wanted to go, but it's not too often low grade portraits of his show up in a straight up auction format.

Nicely done, Jay! Do you purchase all of your T206s off eBay?

Thanks, Scott. Not all of my T206s are from eBay. I'd say almost half have come from Net54.

Nice E95 Lord!

Danny don't be too jealous. Picked this card up last night. Died in 1958

I'll try not to be too envious :lol:
Nice addition of a deceased Yankee.
