Vintage Pick Up Thread

Surely!

It is fun watching your progress, such a great colorful set.

Here's my latest vintage pickup. For $25 ($5 per card) you don't get much baseball material from 1907. These are Raphael Tuck & Sons Oilette Baseball Series postcards. RTS was the largest postcard printer in the world at the time. Oilette was the tradename of their printing process that looked like oil paintings. They printed their cards in England, but sold these in the United States.

Disappointing thing is that this was a set of 6, so I'm still missing one card. These 5 were all mailed to the same person in California. Too bad there wasn't one more.

Thanks. I've always wanted on like this. It just makes me smile.

Added a graded Mantle today!

I've got that card too, but mine's not near as nice as yours though. I really like it because it's the 1961 HR race and has both Mantle and Maris on it.

Catching up on a few recent pickups. The '59 and '69 were just too good of a deal to not buy. The '66 was an upgrade on my PSA 5.

Nice Banks additions! 1959 has always been my favorite of him!

 

[dano7]

Another, better Mantle!

2 recent cards that arrived (eventhough we are on lock-down, some mail gets through... thankfully).



More incoming and 2 being graded at SGC as we speak... I'll share it all when the cards arrive.
Take care and stay safe.

Very nice additions! The 1955 presents very well for a 1.

That might be because it's a 3. lol
The 56 is a 1. (sorry for the bad pics).

Thanks. Almost every card or picture of Thorpe I've seen, he has a awesome look on his face.
