Nice item!

Can you tell me what the initials after the players name mean on the 77 team card?
I think c - catcher, p - pitcher, L - left, r - right, but what are h, m, b, and the 2 s'?

Thanks,
Mark

Great observation, I totally missed that!

I tried to Google and find an answer but came up empty, so if anyone happens to know what these designations may mean, I would love to hear it.

Most notable in the lineup of the 1877 is "Thayer, C", which is none other than Frederick Thayer, inventor of the catcher's mask.

James Tyng, also on the card, was the catcher who wore Thayer's mask in 1877.

Nuf Ced is visible in the background. He's standing between the third and fourth players from the right in the last row. He's the smiling chap in the bowler with the mustache.

I'm not sure about the physical items that were in the bar, but a good deal of his photo and ephemera collection (maybe all of it) was donated to the Boston Public Library. Those are the items that David is referring to on Flickr.

The Nuf Ced McGreevey collection at the Boston Public Library is impressive. We have obtained copies of many for an on-going Spring Training photo display at the Hot Springs Convention Center.

The library along with the National Archives are both very helpful when you are looking for photographic help.

I just picked up an awesome item for my no-hitter collection.

As many of you are aware, Johnny Vander Meer is the only pitcher in baseball history to throw back to back no-hitters. After a lackluster 3-5 beginning in his 1937 rookie season, Vandy would have had no idea that when he signed his 1938 contract that he was just about to set a baseball record that may never be broken. The contract that I just purchased was Vander Meer's personal copy of the contract. The back of the contract is signed by Reds VP and HOF'er Warren Giles.

Pete Rose, who knew a little about the difficulty of breaking iconic records, stated in an interview once that he believed that Vander Meer's back to back no-hitters was perhaps one of the most unassailable in the game. His point was that someone may eventually tie Vander Meer's record, but nobody would ever break it. In approximately 140 years of baseball, it's only happened once.

Three back to back to back no-hitters? C'mon!!! :D

Picked up this 1956 Dick Stuart Lincoln card that's been signed by him...Stuart wrote and circled a "73" on the card..that was the minor league home run record that he was going after that year...he fell short though and only hit 66. The fact that he wrote the "73" on the card though indicates that it was released during the season and not after like had been speculated in the past.

Here are a couple of my recent pickups. The first piece is a letter written by and signed by the Phillies owner GP Nugent in 1933 to Honus Wagner thanking him for his attendance at an old-timers game to celebrate the Phillies anniversary. The letter has a notation on back reading: no answer required. I guess this could be Honus' handwriting. The letter came with a small snapshot of Honus and some others carrying apple baskets.

The other pickup, I posted on the basketball thread too, but figured I would post it here since it is a March pickup. It is a trophy basketball from the 1923 AAU Basketball championship game between the Kansac City Athletic Club (KCAC) Blue Diamonds versus the Hillyard All Shines. The ball has National AAU Champions painted in gold at the top, and a large white painted diamond (I guess the diamond shape to coincide with their team name) that is decorated with the score and the starting 5 of the KCAC - George Williams Capt C, George Reeves F, Milton Singer F, George “Pidge” Browning G, and Robert Sanders G

Bill, that's a great idea for a project. I believe most of those players are fairly common and inexpensive to get a 3x5 of. A quick check of ebay showed multiple examples of the 10 players I checked...should be easy to compare and tell the legit ones. The one player I didn't find was Earl Harrist, but I checked Kevin Keating and he has one at a decent price so I suspect you would be able to find one from someone on this board at and even better price.
Good luck.

Bobo Holloman didn't have a 1953 Topps card? Forgive my ignorance, but I'm not a huge vintage card guy. I know that 1953 was the year that Bobo threw his no-hitter for the Brownie's....

Bobo did play for the 53 Browns but the 53 Topps cards are for players who were on the 52' team. Bobo's 53 Topps card depicts him in an Athletics uniform.

Shows fantastic use, with huge team repairs. The next piece is an Eagles oddball piece: its a Johnny Hero doll in its original box dressed in a Philadelphia Eagles uniform.

The following three Indians postcards, circa 1954 (the calendar in the second PC shows August of that year), are interesting to me. Though I'm not a fanatical collector of team-issued Tribe PCs from that era, I will pick up ones that interest me. The backs of these are identical to those of the team-issued variety, but I don't think they fall into that category. I've solicited opinions from a couple veteran postcard collectors I know, but we've been unable to reach a consensus. I'm still trying to figure out the identity of the guy in the suit. I have ruled out Joe Jackson.

I picked up a couple of cool vintage snapshots of early no-hit pitchers tonight.

The first snapshot is of the Indians Ray "Slim" Caldwell that threw a no-hitter against the NY Yankees in 1919.

The second snapshot is of Thomas L. Hughes (Long Tom) of the circa 1906 NY Highlanders that threw 9 innings of perfection in the 1st game of a doubleheader in 1910 before finally giving up a single in the 10th inning. Hughes ended up allowing 6 more hits and ended up losing the game 5-0 to the Cleveland Naps. I actually own the only known ticket extant to this game in my collection. Long Tom ended up changing leagues and threw a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1916 while he was a member of the Boston Braves.

A new month, and hopefully it's full of new pickups for all of us.

My latest pickup, to add to my growing collection of 19th century Harvard sports collectibles, is this scorecard from "Class Day" in 1882, featuring a game between the Harvard baseball team from 1877 vs. the 1882 squad.

Most notable in the lineup of the 1877 is "Thayer, C", which is none other than Frederick Thayer, inventor of the catcher's mask.

To follow up on the thread which started the month, and a question which was posted regarding the positions for the 1877 team, I emailed the Baseball Hall of Fame a couple of days ago, to see if they may have an answer for this. The gentleman from the HOF who replied to me was super helpful, and just found the answer this morning, courtesy of the next day's (June 24, 1882) Boston Globe article, which he emailed me (and is posted below).

For the 1877 team lineup, first base, second base and third base are designated as a, b and c; left field, center field and right field are l (left), m (middle) and r (right).

Lordstan

03-22-2011, 01:14 PM

Nice work Scooter.

Using the boxscore, it appears that in the scorecard the shortstop is labeled "s" and the catcher is "h" for possibly "home."

Another thing to notice is that there were 18 runs scored on 28 total hits...Time of Game 2hours!!!! How long would this game be now?

Very cool item.
Congrats.

I think it's because TV timeouts between innings were much shorter in 1882. Plus, since there were "many ladies" in attendance, maybe the players kept the game moving along to keep a dinner date.

Hughes (Long Tom) of the circa 1906 NY Highlanders that threw 9 innings of perfection in the 1st game of a doubleheader in 1910 before finally giving up a single in the 10th inning. Hughes ended up allowing 6 more hits and ended up losing the game 5-0 to the Cleveland Naps. I actually own the only known ticket extant to this game in my collection. Long Tom ended up changing leagues and threw a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1916 while he was a member of the Boston Braves. 

Scott - "Long Tom" Hughes was a member of NY AL only in 1904. "Salida Tom" Hughes (Thomas L. Hughes) pitched for them in 1906 and 1909-1910.

Dude!!

I remember those Danish Go-rounds, they were awesome, wish I had some now.

They were like extra-thick Pop Tarts. I remember the food and the cards well. I'm glad someone shared the box here!

The Sugar Crisp box is from 1957.

Got this at the Antique Mall yesterday - Now I just need 1951, 1954, 1956, 1959 and 1960. I've knocked off two already this year which is amazing to me.

A few more publications with Bob Feller on the cover. One from ebay, one from the Philly show. There's at least one more out there from 1937 with Bob Feller on the cover. Now I just have to find it!

Got my 1st signed Babe Ruth Baseball over the weekend thanks to fellow Net54-er Brock.

Also signed by Gehrig and the rest of Murderer's Row Combs, Koenig, Lazzari & Muesel, along with Urban Shocker, a very faint Miller Huggins, and a few others.

I've been working almost entirely on the 61 Yankees over the past month, and have been able to pick up 11 additional autographs including trainer Gus Mauch on an Oct 1950 GPC. The great thing about that team is that all members are very attainable with co-owner Del Webb probably being the hardest.

Picked up two game used jerseys. The first is from the 1984 Wichita Aeros club. I have to do some research to find out who #14 was. I'm hoping Eric Davis. The second is a 1978 Pittsburgh Pirate jersey known as the bumble bee style for obvious reason. It was worn by Jerry Reuss.

Incredible, Matt...

That bat is off the charts! I didn't know there was a even such a thing as a Zebra Striped Bat and a Mushroom combined into one. How many (if any) of these have you seen over the years?

Awesome pickup!
