A few sweet finds to kick off December (technically some in late November):

1) Type I Johnny Vander Meer unique candid dugout shot from June, 1938.
This was at the Polo Grounds in NY. Check out the vintage water cooler! Thanks to net54's Chris Gamble for selling this to me!

2) Type I 11" x 12" photo of Randy Johnson's no-hitter celebration on June 2, 1990 at Seattle. RJ has always been a personal favorite of mine and this is a terrific image of the very 1st no-hitter ever in the Seattle Mariners organization.

3) Paul Derringer's personal copy of a George Brace postcard of Vander Meer, Babe Ruth and Derringer talking in the dugout prior to Vandy's 2nd consecutive no-hitter on 6/15/38 at Ebbets Field. From the Paul Derringer estate

Nice photos Scott. That Randy Johnson photo is an iconic Mariner image only surpassed by the shot of Griffey Jr. at the bottom of the pile in 1995.

Below are my most recent pickups. The 1965 Willie Mays Aurora Model has long been on my want list. It was nice to find one with the original pieces unaltered and still in the box. The panoramic photo is of a crowd watching the 1930 World Series I’m uncertain what city they are in. The DiMaggio shot was taken by WM C. Greene.

I love the 1951 spring training photo of Dressen and the Dodgers coaching staff. The slug on the reverse states, “"WHAT'S THE PITCH? VERO BEACH, FLA: No manager of coaching staff worth its salt can afford to overlook any possible method of doping out the season's chances. Going in for some occult research are master swami Chuck Dressen, who reads the ball, and coaches Clyde Sukeforth (LEFT), Jake Pitler and Cookie Lavagetto (RIGHT). Dressen's headgear is not a Paris creation, but a fugitive form the shower room. It's better than a hat to keep things under -- especially next season's headaches."

I found this ironic considering the headaches that Bobby Thompson and the Giants had in store for them later that year. When Chuck Dressen needed a relief pitcher to face the Bobby Thomson in the ninth inning of the third game of the National League pennant playoff, Sukeforth the Dodger bullpen coach passed over Carl Erskine and sent in Ralph Branca. He was fired by the Dodgers after that. He then went to Pittsburgh and got a measure of revenge a few years later by playing a role a role in the drafting of Roberto Clemente from the Brooklyn organization in the 1954 Rule V draft. Sukeforth was a baseball lifer who is most famous for scouting and assisting in the signing of Jackie Robinson. He was also the Dodger manager for opening day 1947 for Robinson’s debut.

Mike, I believe I have seen the panoramic photo on the 'Shorpys' site - might want to go there and dig around, as it probably will tell you the city.

Here's a few recent pickups, a 1920 Spalding catalog, a 1946 snapshot of Yogi Berra and Bobby Brown with the Newark Bears, and a 1918 photo of a factory team from Philadelphia. The snapshot was an eBay BIN, and the others came from last weekend's Mark McRae show in the San Francisco Bay Area ...

Thanks Mark, I don't know if they are lone survivors but they would certainly have to be rare....I wonder if there are baseball ones...imagine a players head with a pillbox cap!

Your Nationals pennant is really nice....amy chance of getting a close up of the player...I can't read the name. So the Nationals and Senators were one in the same?...how about a little background/history lesson on them...Have you ever seen this one before?

It's Clark Griffith depicted, with the caption of "Foxey Griff".

Here's the brief version of his bio...

Clark Calvin Griffith (November 20, 1869 – October 27, 1955, nicknamed "The Old Fox", was an American Major League Baseball pitcher, manager and team owner. He began his MLB playing career with the St. Louis Browns (1891), Boston Reds (1891), and Chicago Colts/Orphans (1893–1900). He then served as player-manager for the Chicago White Stockings (1901–1902) and New York Highlanders (1903–1907).

He retired after the 1907 season, remaining manager of the Highlanders in 1908. He managed the Cincinnati Reds (1909–1911) and Washington Senators (1912–1920), making some appearances as a player with both teams. He owned the Senators from 1920 until his death in 1955.

Griffith was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946.

Sorry that's all I have time to post... work is hell.

1933 Springfield Cardinals (Western League) Minor League team scorebook. Covers the first part of the Card's season. Several of these players made it in some capacity in the Majors. Teams include Des Moines, Joplin, Muskogee, Wichita, Omaha, St. Joseph, Topeka and Bartlesville. Scorekeeper shows what appears to be the gate receipts at the top of each page. It appears they charged 5 cents per person.

So YOU got the Cubbies.... fantastic acquisition, Jeff! Same for the '33 Nats...

First that I have ever seen of either variation. I think it's safe to say that we'll never see another Cubs Pennant like that. I spoke to Troy about it (at length, on closing day), and he did all the due diligence to ensure its age and authenticity.

I was an under-bidder (as you can probably tell) and am quite envious. This one even pre-dates the oversized "Jumbos" of the 'teens. Magnificent graphics with the early Cubbie and the Pillbox.

Just fantastic stuff... congrats!

Definitely not prewar, but this another holy grail type item for my collection. I also posted this in the game used forum.

This is a 1988 rookie era game used hat of The Big Unit as he was just launching his terrific HOF career.

As many of you know, Johnson ended up his 21 year HOF career with 4875 K's (second only to Nolan Ryan's standard of 5,714 K's), 2 no hitters (including a perfect game), 303 wins, 5 Cy Young's, 6 seasons of over 300 K's (tied with Ryan for the ML record), a 20 K game, 2 19 K games.

Johnson only appeared in a grand total of 11 games during 1988 and 1989 with Montreal before he was traded to the Seattle Mariners making this Expos hat extremely rare. Randy's name and uni number are penned in his own hand and the hat shows nice use for one of the best left handers to ever take the mound.

It has been awhile since I have added anything to my collection. I thought I would share my latest. Hope you are all doing well and had a Happy Turkey Day.

1) Extremely rare 1927 Barnstorming Type 1 photo of Babe and Lou. Shots of just the two of them in uniform, with bats are very very tough from the tour. I am very happy to add it.

2) Type 1 photo of mantle used for a couple important cards as well as memorabilia. Tough team issued early Mantle.

Thanks Chris, Chris and Mark!

The hat is an terrific compliment to a Randy Johnson debut/1st strikeout/1st win full ticket from 9/15/88 at Montreal that I own in my personal collection. Ironically, this Expos hat was personally gifted by the Expos team trainer in 1988 to a patron and his son sitting on the Field Level at Shea very shortly after Johnson made his debut on 9/15.

It's the only ticket to this game that I've ever heard of in the hobby. Certainly one of the very few full tickets that survived to the game that launched a great HOF career.

I was fortunate to see Johnson pitch many times through the years. He's one guy that I would unquestionably pay to watch pitch.
6' 10" of pure nastiness once he finally put it all together and found his control...

When I received my Randy Johnson 1988 Rookie Expos cap today I had the first opportunity to examine the hat up close.

First off, I love it now that I have it in hand!

While I was inspecting the handwriting and uniform number ink on the underside of the cap I noticed that there was something slipped under the sweatband at the front right behind the bill. I carefully removed what appeared to be two Bazooka Joe comics that were folded in half, which made me smile. At the bottom of each it tells your fortune.

It appears that like many baseball players, The Big Unit is superstitious.
The Bazooka Joe comics that he saved had two really neat fortunes that read:

"A good luck streak is approaching" and the second fortune read:
"There is no end to your good luck".
Both fortunes were definitely keepers apparently...

It appears that I might be the lucky one as the hat was gifted to the seller and his son by a team trainer in the NY Mets series vs. the Expos during 9/16/88- 9/18/88 at Shea Stadium.
As I stated in my earlier post about the hat, Randy Johnson won his ML debut on 9/15/88 at Montreal.

WOW! :eek::cool:

Picked up a couple of items for my Eagles collection this week.
First up is a Chuck Bednarik board game. Its the first one I've seen, and talking to some dealer/collector friends of mine, they tell me its a very rare game.
Then at the Valley Forge show, I decided to make my first foray into Hedy glass, picking up an Eagles 4 inch tall glass. I never considering buying/collecting the Hedy items in the past, but there aren't many figural pieces I need so figured it was time to pick something up. I bought it from the guys at Inside the Park - if their are any figural collectors here on net54 who haven't checked out their auctions, you definitely should; there aren't a couple of nicer guys in the hobby.

Nice Cubs lamp, Mike. Interesting thought about the shade. I went with modern shades that are smaller when I needed to replace the hideous shades that came on my two Indians lamps. These seem to fit pretty well proportionally.

Do you have any thoughts regarding the manufacturer? A few people I've talked to in Ohio seem to think that the maker was Stanford Pottery, but I've always had my doubts. Another collector swears it was Gibbs Conner. My guess is that, barring the discovery of an ad from the time period, we might not know.

mjkm90

12-11-2012, 06:53 PM

I havn't a clue regarding the manufacturer Rob and agree that any speculation is wishful thinking at this point. One interesting difference between mine and yours is that the part where the bulb screws in on mine is the same black as the legs. The Cubs lamp is pretty much in unused condition and the seller found them as is with no bulb in a small box. I do like the shades you placed on yours. I've not seen another Cubs have you?

Rob D.

12-11-2012, 07:12 PM

I've not seen another Cubs, and I'm actually glad to see yours, because I think it takes Stanford Pottery and Gibbs Conner out of the equation. I don't think either of those companies produced other Cubs figurals, but I might be overlooking one.

Not sure whether you noticed, but one of mine as quotes around "Indians," and the other doesn't. So you still need that variation. :)

Just purchased it from someone who inherited/acquired an estate collection of a late baseball "ambassador" who I don't think realized the significance of this game. I gave them a fair price, but it's worth a little more than what I paid for it, and with the letter, maybe a lot more.

I personally wished I would have thought of that when I was younger and added a note to every game I attended then I would actually remember the games, now I just have tons of stubs and the memories all blended together.

Well, much to my great surprise, December ended up producing my favorite pickup of 2012. Christmas came early this year! :D

Here is a game ball from Nolan Ryan's 15th strikeout in his 1974 AL record 19 K 9-inning game on 8/12/74. Ryan passed HOF Bob Feller for the AL record and tied Tom Seaver and Steve Carlton's ML record 19 K's in this game. This ball came directly from the Angels 1974 ball boy Paul Hirsch. Paul retrieved the ball when it hit the backstop and screen during the at bat of Cecil Cooper immediately following Ryan's 15th K that night. His letter of provenance fills in all the details.

Rocket Roger Clemens, Kerry Wood and Randy Johnson have since become the standard bearers with 20 K's in a 9 inning game.

Additionally, I purchased Nolan Ryan's 1974 Angels locker tag from Paul as well. I don't know if it is clearly visible, but you can actually see these Angels locker tags in the background in the picture of Paul and Nolan posing together in the Angels Clubhouse in 1974.

1974 was arguably one of Nolan's best seasons. He struck out 19 three times (yikes!), a 1-hitter and his 3rd career no hitter.

Both of these items are excellent additions to the Angels portion of my advanced Nolan Ryan collection. Not many items make their way into my Ryan collection these days. They have to have special significance and have perfect provenance. These two items made the cut in a huge way...

Many thanks to long time Bay Area collector/dealer friend Mark Macrae for connecting me with Paul!

Good stuff, Scott.

Way to end the year with a bang.

Thanks Rob! This is why I didn't chase the Feller debut ticket...
