Vintage Pick Up Thread

The supers are so thick I think they can be thrown through a wall and come out the other side. When you get a chance, scan some of those cards. It would be great to see them again

Still waiting for one more to come in. I was hoping it would make it today but guess I'll have to wait until after the long weekend.

Nice looking trio there. Congrats!

You cannot beat vintage T206 cards that have great eye appeal like the ones you just posted. Nice pick ups!!

 

[RiceLynnEvans75]

Thanks guys! Typically, VG is the highest I go on these things because they start to get a little more pricey after that. My big concerns are always centering and creases/wrinkles through the player, especially their face so with that, and some patience, I'm able to get some nice looking cards with great eye appeal at a decent price.

Here's the other portrait I was hoping to have in the scan with the others last week. Now time to sell off some more modern for more portraits!

Picked up the tough Irvin Wilhelm, so my T205 Brooklyn Superbas set is now complete. I've finished T205, T205 and '33 Goudey Superbas/Dodgers. I need to figure out what pre-war set I'm going to chase next. Love T3 and Cracker Jacks, but don't know if I want to invest the dough it's going to take. Maybe some of the other Goudey sets.

Thanks for looking!

Outstanding! You should get them framed. T205s are gorgeous. Congratulations on completing your team set.

Awesome pickups and congrats on the accomplishment!

I'm only familiar with a few cards in the set and am not sure how many are even in it but have you considered the T207? Not very colorful but definitely unique in their own way!

Congrats on completing the T205 Brooklyn set, TNP. It looks great! What about an M101-5 / M101-4 subset?


Added a T204 to my type collection today:

Great pickup. I remember seeing these somewhere when I was about 8 and loved them because they were so "weird" to me at the time and love them to this day. I finally got one (and probably only one) about a year ago. Congrats!

Very nice!!

Didnt you have a thread in which you listed a scan of all your Dodger cards or am I imagining this? If you didnt...why dont you? LOL Excellent collection! I have been always kinda fascinated by the Dodgers and their various names. The Robins, Superbas, Trolley Dodgers....they have a pretty cool background.

Ramly's are so cool even if they do have a hole in it where the kid, 100 years ago didnt take the time to take the tack off the card and just ripped it from the wall. Do you ever wonder how a card that is more than 100 years old made it to your hands? I always wonder about the kid who owned these cards all that long ago.

All the time. Some of my 206s have paperless on the back likely due to being in a scrapbook. I love imagining where these things have been

I've been buying a TON of vintage for $1 dlvd lately, but none is better than the 1950 Bowman Johnny Lindell.

 

[RiceLynnEvans75]

Got a new group in today for the '34 Goudey set I'm working on. All but one are staying as I already had one of the cards.

Man, that Nelson looks awfully nice for just a 30/good...?

Did they grade his smile??

I think the seller had these things kicking around and the cases are streaked/smudged but it looks like there is an indentation on the top/front/center of the border. But the lot overall is strange. If there is a low-end "Good" and a high-end "Good", this lot displays the full spectrum! There are a couple of others that look really great and others that are just, eh. But it's fine, I love the eye appeal of all!
