Vintage Pick Up Thread

[TNP777]

guys, thanks for nice comments on my latest pickups. Now, I'm no expert on grading, but if I remember correctly, doesn't any crease mean a card can grade no higher than a 5? They don't show up very well in a scan, but when I turn the card just so, the light's glare reveals them. Then there's that border problem at the bottom. All in all, still a very nice card - maybe my nicest older vintage.

ahhh yes, the famous "wrinkle", which means you can top out at "5"

still a great looking card for sure.

Nice OJ! Are you working on the set, or a sub-set of some sort?

 

[TNP777]

that Old Judge is pretty darn cool. One of these days I'm going to have to pick up something from the 1800s.

Thanks guys,

I just pick them up when I see them at a decent/affordable price (for me)...Unfortunately, some of those I still need are most likely out of my price range. But I have been very lucky and I do have some of the more desirable cards, including one of the Ruth's and a Gehrig amongst others.

I am way behind in my scanning but you can see them in my photobucket site in two areas:

"1933 Goudey Sheets" shows the cards in 9 card holder/pages, I scanned these a couple of years ago.

"1933 Goudey Individuals" shows the cards individually and I scan my newest cards in that folder and have started to get the cards in "Sheets" transferred to that folder but haven't worked too diligently towards that end.

Thanks again and happy collecting.

I'm not working on the set. I just have a different kind of player collection with sports cards with the first or last name Hogan. This OJ is one of three poses. I have about 35different Hogan cards. Mostly pre-war.

Uh oh, did someone hit the "F5" key on the T210 set?

Good one, Scott. Yup, back to the Old Mills. Taking a different approach this time. I'm starting with one card for each team, then going after the full set from there (except for Jackson and Stengel....way too much $$$.) I'm going at it knowing that it will most likely never be complete, but that's ok. Just going to enjoy the ride this time.
