Vintage Pick Up Thread

Wow! Nice card!

 

[t_crabby95]

picked up my 1st ever vintage card.....

 

[chromerookies]

I won this right before my trip to Colombia and when I came back it was waiting for me at home. Definitely one of my biggest single item purcheses ever! Also it rarely shows up for auction, but when I saw it, there was also a Lajoie rookie from the same set and in really nice condition AND he's pictured as a Philadelphia Athletic (my favorite team being the A's). It was really hard to pass that one up but I only had enough funds for 1 and not both. Ultimately I just couldn't get it out of my mind that if I won, I would have a Honus Wagner Rookie from the 1800's! Also I ended up winning it for a VERY Good price to boot!

so without further adieu.......an 1899 M101-1 Sporting News Supplement Honus Wagner Rookie

As the curator of one of the world’s worst T206 collections, I am proud to announce number 514. I am now down to ten cards to complete “The Monster”. (…a feat which I do not see happening barring a lottery win!)

514 of 524 98.09% complete

 

[TNP777]

when talking about The Monster, there is no such thing as the "worst" T206 collection. They're all beautiful. Congrats on #514!

Here are tonights pickups:

and the Gossage and Blyleven

 

[gojacks]

Wow I love the Nolan Ryan! Ecspecially because he played for the Astros.

 

[wolfmanalfredo]

Great pickups Eric. That hole punch in the Clemente RC doesn't really take a whole lot from the look of the card. Clean bright white edges and no creasing from what I can see. Beautiful card.


Gossage and Blyleven from my pals 4 sharp corners by chance. If so, those guys have filled some holes in my collection with some nice high grade cards

That is just.........wow. Can you say impressive?


Best of luck winning the lottery.

Great pickups. I wonder if the previous owner had a lot of those Topps 55's in some kind of punch card holder... :?:

I didn't realize there was a vintage board . I will just copy and paste my post from the other board.

Bought a nice little collection of vintage today. Some are in very nice shape and some a super rare!! Pretty stoked about the whole lot! I will be sending them all off for grading. I am not a member of PSA so I will probably end up sending them to SGC. What do you guys think?

Here is the haul:

1952 Bowman #231 Dee Fondy, #239 Dale Mitchell, #241 Mel Parnell, & #248 Bill Werle

Love the Diamond stars, and awesome Cobbs. That Tolstoi back is pretty sweet.

And I'd love to own that e93 Cobb.
