Latest pickup.

mcolney1 · March 30, 2010 2:19PM

I have been following this auction...smells fishy, but it is a Bronco. If legit the guy has no clue, 37 FB all from Sellers. Kind of funny how he's approaching selling this card. Anyone want to gamble...not me!

1st try

2nd try

3rd times a charm?

I think a <$100 scanner would be a good investment.

revmoran · April 12, 2010 6:57AM

This had a BIN of $3,900

Goodsport40 · April 12, 2010 11:05AM

That's a fine looking 3.

Did you acquire it? If so, congratulations!

Robert

revmoran · April 12, 2010 11:39PM

Yes, I bought it - its fits right into my collection which is mostly middle of the road stuff. Now I'd like to find a Nagurski Wheaties panel.

mcolney1 · April 13, 2010 2:42AM

Nice Bronko. I'm looking for a similar, but still waiting to pull the trigger.

weinhold · April 13, 2010 2:53AM

Congratulations on your buy. I also bought an SGC 40 Nagurski; mine was acquired about 1.5 years ago. I believe that yours is nicer than mine because yours has far fewer brown discolored spots. Your central image appears to have retained good color, and it presents beautifully in the SGC holder! It's truly one of the classic cards of the hobby. Thanks for sharing the beauty with us.

I would Love to have a Nagurski in my collection one day
I just hope to find one as centered as yours revmoran for a fair price
Great card!

Great collection you have!

revmoran · April 14, 2010 12:11AM

This is a somewhat unusual Nagurksi item - part of a set of 11 photographs of College All Americans issued by the Albert Richards Coat Company in 1929 - they measure 9" x 12" and are on paper stock - not quite as heavy or glossy as the Chicle R311 photos. The others in the set are Ackerman, Cagle, Cannon, Carideo, Donchess, Glassgow, Montgomery, Sleight, Tappaan, and Welch.

That is awesome. I should get me one of those Albert Richard coats. If Bronko likes them, they must be good. Great card and great coat.

bsidegrve · May 8, 2010 8:01AM

Picked this card up from ebay, now my oldest Football card
1929 Churchman Sports & Games

gotsparks09 · May 13, 2010 4:40PM

Today's mail

cardbender · May 13, 2010 8:41PM

Nice Howie. I don't think he went to College. A free agent straight to the pro's.

-----------------

Nice Bronko coat ad photo. He's styling. It looks like he might
be reaching for a piece. This was Chicago in 1929.

Just wanted to say that this thread does not suck.

revmoran · May 14, 2010 8:10AM

Thanks for the kind words - this just in:

elsnorto · July 30, 2010 6:17AM

Bumped for Bob.

BigDaddyBowman · July 30, 2010 12:00PM

Seeing this thread makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It brings me to my "happy" place!

mcolney1 · July 30, 2010 12:47PM

I've been delinquent posting my pick ups. Will scan and post some this weekend. Just picked up a Hinkle - PSA 4, but the price was right.

revmoran · August 11, 2010 12:11AM

These just in

BigDaddyBowman · August 11, 2010 11:10AM

VERY COOL Spalding's Rev! Outstanding!

weinhold · January 5, 2011 5:30AM

The original thread is right here. Thanks for bringing back the interest, BDB.

While Photobucket problems continue to prevent me from sharing scans on the Boards, I'll enjoy seeing your scans. Great-looking '52 Bowmans there!

I heard from Perkdog just last week or so over on the Sports Talk Forum.

AUPT · January 5, 2011 5:44AM

In honor of the resurrection of this thread, let me share my latest and least-vintage football card custom creation.

You can find the details on my blgo, linked below, and if you scroll down a few pages within the blog, you can see what other cards I've been working on since this thread went on hiatus.

BigDaddyBowman · January 5, 2011 5:46AM

I searched the darn archives for this thread..couldn't find it...thanks for your help. Last post was back on 8/11...almost 6 months ago....that needs to change! I will repost....

This was always my favorite thread on the forum. Us vintage football guys should be ashamed that we let this great thread disappear! I couldn't find the original one, so I am starting fresh.

Todays mail pick-ups:

Picked these up for a steal (at least in my mind) last week. Can't help but think of our friend Paul "PerkDog" Perkins everytime I grab a new 52 large. Maybe this post will get him to come out of hiding!

Vintage football guys...it is our duty to keep this thread alive! The football Gods demand it!

revmoran · January 5, 2011 5:54AM

Thanks for reviving this thread - two holiday pickups

BigDaddyBowman · January 5, 2011 5:56AM

Rev..those are simply awesome! I LOVE the Grange!!!

jmoran19 · January 5, 2011 6:00AM

Love the Carl Weathers!! A Stabler in this year would look awesome too hint hint. John

scooter729 · January 5, 2011 6:10AM

I'll keep it going with two of my favorites.....

rexvos · January 5, 2011 6:52AM

this is one of my favorite threads. I am glad it was brought back from the dead.

Here are some of my pickups over the last couple of months:

mcolney1 · January 5, 2011 2:40PM

To keep the momentum going. My wife is from Helena, MT. Got this while she was laid up in the hospital.

Southsider · January 5, 2011 8:56PM

Cool thread. I'll play. I picked up this Red Grange Shotwell's ad back a while ago, but finally submitted with my renewal gradings.

PowderedH2O · January 6, 2011 9:20AM

I just picked up one of the big boys for my 1951 Bowman set. Been wanting a Van Brocklin rookie for awhile. Finally got one!
This also is my third Van Brocklin for the Master set. Just gotta get five more...

Sam

weinhold · January 6, 2011 9:47AM

It's terrific to see any Van Brocklin RC here. Nice grade. Thanks for sharing, Sam. The Van Brocklin RC is one of the most aesthetically pleasing cards ever printed. (It also helps that he QBed my Eagles to their last NFL Title 50 years ago).

You and I have parallel collecting interest - some of the very same vintage football classic cards.

rexvos · January 6, 2011 9:53AM

the Van Brocklin is awesome!!

PowderedH2O · January 6, 2011 10:13AM

Thanks guys. I'm a teacher, so I have to watch my budget a bit. I wanted an 8 for that card, but I liked the 7.5 and I got it for less than half of VCP of an 8, so I'm quite pleased. I don't have a lot of the graded 51's (probably because I can't keep my interests focused on one thing - I've started player collections for most of the football HOFers - at least the vintage ones). But it sure is fun going after them.

BigDaddyBowman · January 6, 2011 12:02PM

That is a great Grange and Van Brocklin!

Love the stuff..keep them coming!

I am building the 1951 Bowman set in SGC. Have about 25 cards to go to complete the set. It is really a remarkably aesthetic set. Here are some of my recent crossovers and pick-ups:

PowderedH2O · January 6, 2011 12:16PM

I know you guys are in love with the 52's, but I still believe the 51's are even nicer. I can only imagine if the 51's were in large size!!! Big Daddy those are so gorgeous and they look great with the black backing!

Publius · January 7, 2011 2:22AM

The Checklist for the 57 set is almost as much as the Starr, or Unitas....
southside, i love that Grange Shotwell man, one of my favorite sets.

mrmint23 · January 7, 2011 2:36AM

I picked this up in a trade. Does anyone know the value or any information on the set.

rexvos · January 14, 2011 9:36AM

time to bump this thread back up to the top.

2 additions this week:

this being the bigger one for me, as both an LSU fan and a HOF collector.

weinhold · January 14, 2011 9:58AM

I put a not-too-aggressive bid or two on that same Van Buren in the eBay auction that just ended.

Congrats on the pickups.

AUPT · January 14, 2011 11:21PM

I'm nearly ready to go to press with my first effort at an O-Pee-Chee style custom card. I'm still hoping to get a real French-Canadian translation for the copy on the back; I had to make do with internet free translation from English to French-French.

You can find the details of the card's creation on my blog, linked below.

fiveniner · January 14, 2011 11:54PM

Just picked up a 56 Topps Set w/47 PSA and checklist.Have not looked at it yet as I have been too busy. Will show some scans when I get time.I have ended by Baseball buying for now except upgrades for sets that are the registry,59 Topps 53 Bowman and 75 topps mini all baseball.

BigDaddyBowman · January 16, 2011 8:42AM

Just picked this up today. I have bought 4 PSA 7 Layne's and tried crossing over to SGC and failed everytime..so I patiently waited for one to come up already slabbed by SGC...after 2 years...finally nabbed one.

I am starting to see the light at the end of this tunnel! About 15 cards to go of the 144 for the set.

Fabfrank · January 16, 2011 9:11AM

BigDaddyB- Really nice Layne. Congrats. I'm about 50% through my set. I assume you are building the set in SGC holders?

BigDaddyBowman · January 16, 2011 10:39AM

<< <i>BigDaddyB- Really nice Layne. Congrats. I'm about 50% through my set. I assume you are building the set in SGC holders? >>

Thanks..yes I am building a SGC graded set. My avg. is about a 7.5 but most stars are 8's. If you need any 51's I have a bunch available.

TNP777 · January 16, 2011 10:48AM

just picked up this well-loved beauty today - only three more to go to finish up my raw Rams set.

PowderedH2O · January 16, 2011 11:22AM

Well-loved is right, but so is 'beauty'. A gorgeous card!!!

BigDaddyBowman · January 16, 2011 12:09PM

Picked up these tough Mayfair candies cards...havn't decided if I am going to keep or re-sell...hmmm??

mcolney1 · January 16, 2011 2:15PM

Great stuff guys. Just picked up a 48 Bowman Pihos PSA 4 off ebay, but well centered. I've only got 20 more to go to complete my HOFer collection. Will post scan when it arrives.

Publius · January 16, 2011 2:32PM

LOL, I won 3 of those too, I was the underbidder on those ones, sorry BDB! Kevin at Cardboard classic, seems like a really classy guy. He had the Grange in sgc 88 up last week, I got caught on a late flight and missed bidding on it, frustrating as those dont come up very often in that grade.

Love the Vintage Football!
