May 2020 pickups - show em!

I don't see a pickups thread for May 2020, so I'll get the ball rolling.

1936 Detroit Times Sports Stamps Joe Louis. A hand cut issue. It's tough to locate in any condition.

    He didn't know that in 89 though. You would think the guy they call Donnie Baseball would have been a shoe in.

    Just like Johnny Football? I think there may be a curse.

    Watching him struggle with injuries in the second half of his career was almost as painful as watching the awful teams he played on in that era of Yankees baseball.

    I kicked off this month with a new early Yankees card addition. I like old cards of important Yankees and this guy was a team and franchise superstar. The Crow made his debut for the Yankees in 1932 and would be a Yankee mainstay for the next 40 years. With a playing career of 17 years as a slick fielding shortstop (who often pulled off the hidden ball trick on many the unsuspecting Major Leaguer) and then another two decades as a part of the coaching staff, you really couldn't face the Yankees and not bump into the light hitting 2 time all star. Here he is 91 years ago - before the Yankees - they when he was picking it for the Seals.

    Stephen, congratulations, incredible card and your Dad's day with Nelson is a great connection. I love your equating Nelson to Musial, from all I've read that is spot on.

    1936 Detroit Times Sports Stamps Joe Louis. A hand cut issue. It's tough to locate in any condition.

    The Detroit Times stamps were issued in either a side-by-side pairing; or, in one case, a full-page "sheet" of 16. The Joe Louis pairing was with Babe Ruth, making it a pretty special one to find with those two together.

    Yeah, I've seen that Babe Ruth before, thank goodness Joe was separated from Babe on mine, or else I never would have been able to afford it! ;)

    Gorgeous and Iconic card. He is also a lawyer, an author and a former member of Parliament here in The North. Hockey might have been simply a hobby for him.

    I decided to bite the bullet on this one early. Given the current climate of cards and the hype surrounding him, I just thought it wouldn’t pay to wait. This is my second card of The Martian. I may do one more.
