January Pickup Thread

yankeesman · January 2, 2016 10:26AM

I didn't see a January monthly pickup thread so figured I'd start one. Here's an addition to my HOF catcher collection I got in the mail today:

alifaxwa2 · January 2, 2016 12:27PM

Both these two to do a dual custom cut

And this for my dad (he is a Bob)

DanBessette · January 2, 2016 12:32PM

Picked up these 2 cards for my 1974 Topps Red Sox team set. Technically a December purchase, but arrived today.

So I haven;t shared much lately but I had to share my first Ichiro Auto ....Dynasty 1/5 Yankees gear ... Some of the Mariners swatches were nice but I pulled the trigger on this one.

yankeesman · January 7, 2016 8:24AM

That Ichiro is SICK!!!!!!!!!

yankeesman · January 7, 2016 8:25AM

Got this in the mail today. Our newest Hall of Fame catcher:

I have nothing against autograph collectors, if that's your thing then that's great and I'm all for it.

I'm just saying if I had to pay good money for a person's auto, I would want something more than an illegible scribble.

Where have you gone, Chas. Gehringer. One of the all time great autos.

thebaseballcardkid · January 7, 2016 12:22PM

Dan Rooney autograph - Very nice. Before you cut them, are the dates on the post cards significant? A lot of times the issue or PO stamp coincides with some event. Just something to think about before you proceed. Nice autos. Congrats. They'll present well.

Dboneesq · January 7, 2016 1:20PM

With the addition of these two that I just got in the mail, I now have 34 cards for my New York T-206 sub set.

yankeesman · January 7, 2016 8:27PM

Those are gorgeous Doug. That Crandall looks much better than a 4 grade. Congrats!

baseballfan · January 7, 2016 11:14PM

boy there is nothing like a good looking T206. congrats!

I hope to have a post soon, waiting for the last few cards to come in, as I recently finished the 52 topps low numbers

DanBessette · January 8, 2016 1:17AM

Wow Doug, great cards, congrats!

Just saw this. The Dan is 2 days before the SB they lost to the Cowboys. I can't find anything significant for the Art beyond the subject of the stamps and it was the day the Beatles release Abbey Road.

Just finished the card;

halosfan · January 8, 2016 9:59PM

Those are some sharp looking 206s!

Dpeck100 · January 8, 2016 10:26PM

It was purchased in December but arrived in January so I will add it to the thread. The first copy to ever grade Mint.

ToneD · January 9, 2016 9:02AM

Went to a local card show today and figured I pick up a box to bust. I THOUGHT I was buying a 2014 Bowman Chrome box but when I got home I realized I bought a Topps chrome box. Ugghh. Well turned out to be a pretty good mistake. Pulled these two.

On a side note, how do you find the redemption code on these? The box on the back won't scratch off. Thanks in advance.

ssdawg77 · January 10, 2016 7:32AM

A few 52 Topps that I have picked up this month.

Halonut · January 10, 2016 12:52PM

Picked this up for $130 dlvd after a $20 eBay coupon. It is the 11x14 Topps jumbo card, signed and authenticated by MLB and The Nolan Ryan Foundation.

yankeesman · January 11, 2016 4:15AM

Wow! That Ryan is SWEET!!!

Halonut · January 11, 2016 4:19AM

Here's the latest addition to my catcher's collection. Ivan Rodriguez signed game used catcher's mask:

RookieWax · January 17, 2016 12:02AM

Definitely a good month.

yankeesman · January 17, 2016 2:28AM

Whoa!!!! Yahtzee. Nice cardboard Rookiewax!

RookieWax · January 17, 2016 2:58AM

I really like the looks of that. Great pickup

I was not planning on posting anything but I got this similar item back earlier this month from my last sub

Halonut · January 17, 2016 7:33AM

Nice! I have it in an 8 as well. Also have a PSA/DNA'd slabbed copy with the Nolan Ryan Foundation hologram.

alifaxwa2 · January 18, 2016 4:39AM

UFFDAH · January 19, 2016 3:20AM

Thats a fine looking 6.

ThoseBackPages · January 23, 2016 3:36AM

STRONG cards fellas!

thunderdan · January 23, 2016 3:52AM

My January has been a month of duplicates, 84 topps football, and a bump. Picked up a second Rickey, a second Bird/Magic, and a Marino. The Elway bumped from a 9 to a 10 last week, so I'm pretty excited about that. And you can never have too many Rickey's and Bird/Magic RC's. I just love the designs and images of both cards.

ThoseBackPages · January 23, 2016 3:57AM

STRONG 9's Dan, WOW!!!

Darin · January 23, 2016 4:24AM

Great cards Thunderdan! Congrats on the Elway bump.

Does that second Bird/Magic card have a shot at a bump? Looks like a really strong 9.

Hard to say for sure. It's a really strong 9, though. Shout out to Jeff (cardcountry) on that one. It's a beautiful card.

Honestly, I thought the Marino was overall slightly stronger than the Elway, and the Elway bumps but not the Marino. Go figure.

ssdawg77 · January 23, 2016 5:20AM

A few more 52's for my set.
