April Pick-Ups

[Runscott]

Just to show I'm a sport about modern game-used.

Finally have all the photos for this ball display. The ball is photo-matched against all the pics except the punt and Seattle field goal, but because it's matched against kicking plays before and after these, it's the same ball. It was only used for kicking plays, but apparently was used for ALL kicking plays, at least well into the second half of the game. Unfortunately, I just got word from the photographer that I can't get a large print of the centerpiece photo (shown just above ball). I have a smaller one that will have to do.

[yanks12025]

Bryce Harper hit ball from today and it's his second of the season.

[tony]

Just picked up this game for my room. Its in beautiful shape

[Runscott]

Brock - did you catch that one?

Congrats.

Congrats that is a very cool machine. Is it coin operated?

[yanks12025]

Brock - did you catch that one?

Congrats.

No bought it at the mets shop.

[tony]

Hi Yes , its a 5 cent machine. You put money in a slot on the side and shoot it with the lever. The nickel than works its way down. If you are lucky it will go into the hits. Its amazing what we thought was hight tech. LOL

[Runscott]

No bought it at the mets shop.

There are some real jewels at those stadium shops - last September I bought the ball James Paxton used to strike out Chris Young in Paxton's ML debut, for $45. Apparently he threw it in the dirt and Young went for it, so it got tossed over to the ball-handler-tagger lady.

[yanks12025]

Yeah. Every hit I was watching to see if they gave the ball to the mlb hologram guy. Because pretty much you can get any ball that is hologram the next inning. So after Harper got the hit, I went to the shop and asked for it.

[Runscott]

That is a really great idea - I'll make a point of keeping my eyes open for special balls next time I go to a game.

[71buc]

Scott, I don't think they pay very close attention to the pieces they sell at Safeco. A couple of years ago I found this Mariners dugout line-up card in the clearance sale stack for a paltry amount. When I got home I looked up the game and found that it was from K-Rod's MLB record setting 62nd save. I will readily admit I had no idea that it was from that game prior to purchasing it. However you would think they would have looked it up prior to discounting it

[71buc]

Here are a couple of recent odd ball pick ups for my 1971 Pirates collection. The first is a line-up card and program from a three game pre-season series the Bucs played in Panama. I am currently kicking myself for missing the ticket stub that was listed with these. I cant imagine I will ever see another example.

[scmavl]

Went to a minor league game last night and got this bat that big money Rockies prospect David Dahl broke in the first game of a doubleheader. I have both ends of the bat but it is missing a chunk around the handle. I'll probably get it signed at a later game.

Very cool, Mike! Your ebay searches must be pretty easy....."1971 Pirates" :D

Excited to get this. Carbon triplicate copy of Christy Mathewson Military ration voucher. This copy I guess went to the officer, in this case, CAPTAIN MATHEWSON

This is my Ruth that I had posted a few months back in the prewar section and forgot to put up here. This is my center piece to my collection. :) It's a postcard of the Babe with Ruppert on the day of his signing in 1933. Thought you guys might enjoy it.

Here is a newspaper clip from that day as well. I know mine version of his signature is not worth $52K but maybe someday I hope! HA!

I don't think you can top that! Your one and only autograph collection is complete.

[pencil1974]

No I would like to pick up a Cobb Auto, Gehrig, Wagner etc.. I just got lucky and found my white whale so to speak as my first one.

[pencil1974]

What I love about the Ruth though is you never seem him sign his first name along with his nickname. That is what really drew me to the card.

[Scott Garner]

I just picked up this great first generation photo of "Bobo" Holloman following his no-hitter on 5/6/53.

Holloman's background story was an interesting one. In 1953, the 27-year- old rookie, made the show with the St. Louis Browns, but was not getting much of an opportunity to pitch on the big club. Bobo Holloman was never short of confidence. In fact, he was his own #1 fan.

Up to this point in the 1953 season he was relegated to only eating up meaningless innings. The entire season he kept asking Brownies Mgr. Marty Marion to give him one start so that he could show him what he really could do.

Bobo finally got his chance on May 6th, 1953. In his first ML start, Holloman no-hit the light hitting Philadelphia A's 6-0 in front of only 2473 fans at home in St. Louis.

Holloman never recaptured the magic of his no-hitter game. In fact, he was back in the minors less than 3 months later, never to return again...

[Bumpus Jones]

Nice one Scott!

[Runscott]

[71buc]

For some reason this was one of those items that has eluded me for years. I finally picked up this one to complete my collection of all eight of the 1937 and 1938 Dixie Lid Premiums. I think they are one of the most attractive issues of the 1930s.

Older Ty looks happier here than in the Hospital Robe photo I got a while back. TYYYYYYYYYY:)

[71buc]

After seeing all of the cool snapshots of hall of famers I decided to start looking for images of the 1971 Pirates in snapshots. These are the ones I have managed to pick up to date. The 1971 Pirate World Champs pin is new to me. It is the first time I have come across one like this. I am guessing it was a lapel or tie pin?

Here is a neat February, 1928 snapper that I just acquired of HOF Walter Johnson just as he was beginning his role as manager of the Newark Bears.

I'm always amazed at some of the terrific items offered for sale on net54.
Some of my favorite pieces in my collection originated in the BST. Thanks Jack!

3/4 size Tigers Pennant with cloth tag reproduction company on back. I didn't see this one in Mike Egners book. Does anyone know a date on it?

My Giancarlo Stanton collection is getting bigger and bigger by the week. Here are 3 from this year that just came today.

1) Cracked on 4/10/14 against Strasburg. Was a foul ball.

2) Cracked on 4/11/14 off AJ Burnett. Cracked on a single.

3) Cracked on 4/9/14 off of Jordan Zimmerman. Cracked on an RBI single.

[yanks12025]

Nate,
How do you get all these Stanton bats?

[4scuda]

really unusual item I have never seen one before

[UnVme7]

Nate,
How do you get all these Stanton bats?

I actually did a random search a few weeks back and came across the one with the Beltre on a website. Shocked no one had bought it.

[71buc]

This vintage 1941 autographed and personalized 8X10 of Satchel Paige arrived today. I acquired it via a trade here on Net54. Thanks Derek. I have always wanted a vintage original Satchel Paige Monarchs photo or a vintage Paige autograph. I am thrilled to have completed both goals at once. The collecting community here is amazing. This will most certainly be my favorite acquisition in 2014 and is now the cornerstone of my vintage baseball photography collection.

[doug.goodman]

I just picked up this well loved scored program with a ticket stub taped inside.

All due respect, Nate (TRULY)....why do you collect what you collect? re-sale? Investment?

I have a couple hundred Giants gamers, but I'm a Giants collector. You seem to pick up a lot of "lesser name" GU stuff and I wonder why (not that Beltre or Stanton are scrubs). Truly....I respect your collection....just curious. :confused:

I don't mind you asking at all.-- Believe it or not, I mostly collect vintage bats. I buy very little modern stuff because it really doesnt interest me much. I've recently been able to buy Beltre and Stanton bats which is why you've seen a lot from them. They are two of my favorite active players. I live in TX and get to see Beltre play everyday and it's an absolute treat. Stanton is a little different because I think he has such upside and is still very young. I'm also from the KC area so I'm a sucker for 80's Royals jerseys.

I don't buy for resale, because I sell very little of my items to begin with. I just buy what I like to collect, just for the fun of it.

[sebie43]

That is really cool Nate. If I ever had the chance I actually would like a Stanton bat, just for the hell of it. That kid can swing

basically explains everything! :D

Beltre has been a stud but I yearn for the days when players stayed put (ala my Giants Mays, McCovey, Marichal. Hell, even Bonds.....cuz nobody else wanted him!).

[71buc]

Boy, was I tempted to buy it. It's georgeous- congrats!

Thanks Scott, that HoJo snapshot is beautiful as well. Although I spend much of my limited collecting dollars on 1971 Pirate trinkets meaningful only to me the opportunity to obtain this photo was irresistible. I have always been fascinated by Paige. My father watched him pitch for the Tribe and a very , very progressive great aunt watched him pitch in the negro leagues. Their stories really sparked my interest in Paige at a very young age. I'm beyond pleased to hang Satchel next to my Roberto:)

Added this piece to my Federal League collection this month...been wanting one for a while, and finally found one at the right price.

[yanks12025]

Picked up a Giancarlo bat this week. Shows tons of use and was most likely used to hit a monster 3 run homerun off Strasburg last week.

I'm not quite certain how I feel about learning that the Material Girl shared my love of the Bucs. :o

The back of the photo reads "Florence Frazee, Osage, Iowa"....I was able to locate 1900 census records that question whether Florence was male or female, so I assume that since they questioned it they had reason to believe Florence was a male. I haven't been able to put a face to any of my other photos yet, but haven't looked closely yet.

Was that photo taken in Indiana? You would think it would be more likely from Nebraska.

[QUOTE=slidekellyslide;1268852]

Yep, The Nebraska Indians lost to Washington, Indiana in 1904 by a score of 2-1. My guess is that this photo was taken at that time.

edited to add: I also do not believe this player was Native American.

[GrayGhost]

Casey and the Dodgers. a Winning combo;)

These guys have some great photos. can't wait for it to arrive, esp w/out the watermarks:)

I've said it before I think, but I'll say it again. I've always wondered if the subjects in these photos had any idea that over 100 years later someone would have such great appreciation for their photograph? That people would still enjoy seeing the image and that it would even still exist after all this time.

Great image Dan!

I recently picked up this home dugout card (1/1) from Nolan Ryan's last career win # 324.

On 8/15/93 Nolan Ryan faced off against starting pitcher Jose' Mesa and the hometown Cleveland Indians.

This lineup card is an awesome complimentary piece to a number of items from Nolan's last win that I own in my advanced Ryan collection.

I own Nolan's complete uniform from his last win as well as a game used ball and signed ultra-scarce Indians loge box ticket and scored program to this game.

[koufax1fan]

Hi Scott:
Thanks for sharing these great Nolan Ryan items. Would love to see your collection one day. Phil

And shot by a well-known photographer, Lee Balterman, who did some work for Sports Illustrated but is probably better known for his non-sports photography. Nice pick-up!

According to the description, this is supposed to be Frank Bancroft and another player from the 1914 tour of American and National League Stars that Bancroft put together. The guy on the right (as you look at it) could be Bancroft, from other images I've seen, but can anyone identify the other guy in the photo (crouching)?

Probably going to need an enlargement / closer cropping of crouching man's face, as it's just about impossible to make out any detail at the automatically-resized resolution the system displays your photo at. Cropping it to just his face should reduce the file size considerably, so that the Net54 system doesn't compress it so much for the attachment.

That's what I was afraid would happen, this is the auction photo I downloaded. I will do a better scan when it arrives, I am just curious to find out what I bought. Always exciting to see if my purchase turns out to be "as-described." Description was:

"Original photo from 1914 showing two famous Baseball players (both of whome could easily be in the Baseball Hall of Fame someday) posed in front of the enrance to the San Xavier Mission in Arizona while on a Baseball Trip of the West. To the right is Frank Bancroft and his wife and to the left is another superstar player and his wife.

I am listing over 100 photos tonight of rare Western U.S. scenes. These were taken by a famous Baseball player and his wife while they were on a tour of the Western States and many of the people in the images are famous Baseball Stars!"

I have no reason to doubt the guy, it is San Xavier Mission in AZ., and the guy on the right does look like Frank Bancroft. I just asked the seller who was the famous baseball player that took the photo, and who was the other guy in the photo, and he never responded. Thanks for looking, I will add better scans when it arrives.

Nice Koufax sig and you are correct on the era. Based on exemplars it's circa 1963.
