First time in a long time I have been able to add anything to my 1971 Bucs Collection. I picked up this gorgeous 1970-71 Gene Clines jersey from Net54 member Clint (ksfarmboy). Many thanks Clint I couldn’t be happier! As far as I can tell there are six versions of this pin and a Zum Zum vendor version. I believe that with this 2.5” pin I now have all seven. These four team issued 1971 photos bring my total to 34 different individual team members. I believe I now have all of them unless Coach Frank Oceak has a photo I am unaware of. His head shot in the Baltimore World Series program has a background all others do not. This leads me to believe that this shot was added solely for the World Series program. There may be head shots of Frank Brosseau and a Frank Tavares out there I am unaware of. Brosseau pitched two innings and faced five batters in 1971 and Taveres never came to bat and debuted on September 25th which was game #159. Due to these factors they may not have included head shots of either player. However Rimp Lanier batted four times in 1971 and there was a team issued photo featuring his image. If you have seen Brosseau and Taveres 1971 head shots I would love to hear from you!

Congratulations on the Clines jersey pickup. It's in nice shape. So many Pirates jerseys of that era have letters and numbers that are a bit washed out (and sometimes replaced) because of later use. While I suppose the Pirates can be blamed (or credited, depending on your point of view) for ushering in the era of pullover knit jerseys, I'm very nostalgic for some of those '70s era designs and like the "old gold" and black combination. And, of course, that particular jersey design brings back so many great memories of some fantastic Bucco players and teams.

Completely agree.... It is soooooo hard to find one of these in nice game-used (and unaltered) condition. And yours, of course is a beauty.

Congrats!

[CharleyBrown]

Wrong forum!!

[sicollector1954]

Was lucky enough to run across this baseball near where I live…Turns out it is a 1948 Rockford Peaches Championship baseball…signed by 17 including Bill Allington the manager…I know it is 1948 because it is signed by a player named Marge Stefani who only played in 8 games total with the Peaches…Nice addition to my room!

[sicollector1954]

Sorry for the pictures being sideways…lol

[slidekellyslide]

Picked up this 40" Winchester store display sign.

[Darner]

Wow, nice Peaches ball! 1948 was the only year the ball was 10 3/8" in circumference. It was 11" in 1946-47 and it was reduced to 10" (with red and black stitching I think) in 1949.

Picked these two items in Huggins and Scott. Acquiring the season pass was a long-time goal of mine and to get it at the price I did (they normally sell north of $15k these days) was especially good fortune.

I had seen several Bob Feller Orange Ice Cream ads but I had never seen the fudgsicle version.

Hi Bob,
These are both undeniably terrific pieces. I actually looked carefully at both of them, but didn't have the funds to chase them. I'm glad that you were the successful winning bidder. Congrats!

[71buc]

Awesome pick UPS Bob. I love the Feller.

This is the best month I have had in a long time picking up items for my 1971 Pirate collection. This style of stirrups was worn between 1970 and 1976. This pair is attributed to Bob Johnson and carry his number 27 written in ink at the top.

[Scott Garner]

I just picked up this terrific vintage signed Vandy Goldsmith ball that originates from his historic 1938 season in which he pitched consecutive back-to-back no-hitters.

The provenance that accompanies it and the boldness of signature really set it apart as being exceptional and a perfect fit for my personal collection. The fact that Goldsmith's base of operations was in Cincinnati is an additional bonus.

Many thanks to net54's Chris Gamble for offering it to me. Friendships are what make the collecting hobby special and fun. :)

[WillowGrove]

Big congrats to you Scott! Another perfect item that belongs in your collection. Chris, way to bring the two together.

[Bumpus Jones]

[bobfreedman]

While I collect advertising pieces, my favorite types of advertising pieces to collect are ads advertising baseball cards and this one I am very pleased to have won. While not in the best of condition, I am pretty sure that there are not too many of these around:

Scott and Mike, great pick ups! I love to see collections, such as yours, that are so focused.

Dave, your collection continues to amaze me and your focus is one of the best - BRAVO!

Dan, that Winchester piece is briliant!

Dave,
I would look for a photo featuring this piece in the Reds yearbook from the next year as a starting point.

[Dave Grob]

Have already looked in the 1953 and 1954 Yearbooks as well as the News of Reds from 1953. My sensing is this is more of civic (town) or organizational (company) effort as opposed to one organized by the 1953 Cincinnati Redlegs. Also no mention of anything in the Sporting News or for the 1953 entries in Rhodes & Snyder "Redleg Journal."

[perezfan]

Couldn't resist this 7" X 33" sweeping panorama of Redland Field (later to be known as Crosley Field).

Now the difficult task of clearing out wall space :o

[perezfan]

This one was a bit easier to squeeze in. Always wanted one of these pins, but they're tough to find (issued to Cubs Players and team personnel only). This one belonged to the Batboy...

Ps. Dave... Fantastic Klu Banner!

[slidekellyslide]

I snagged an original Hartland Dick Groat at an antique mall today for a whopping $20...no bat, tag or box, but who can argue with that price? Also got a nifty 1958 cereal box and baseball tips premiums from Ryan C. He got them in Cuba more than a decade back.

I am soooooo excited to add this. It's a early Christmas present from the wife. This has been on my wish list for a number of years, but haven't come across one that I liked or didn't have the money for at the time. The stars finally aligned and it is mine. This is the best one I have ever seen. Thanks to Mike for making it available.

Cy Young's last win # 511. That's awesome!
Congrats on that pickup!

Thanks Scott!

Phil,
Game # 68 or Game # 69 in the season ticket book?

[pherbener]

Scott,
Based on the original schedule, it would be game 68.

[Scott Garner]

Scott,

That's really terrific. I don't think that I've ever seen another ticket to his last win. So cool!

[pherbener]

No, me either. I also thought it was cool that it was issued to Elmer Steele, a pitcher for them who was released on September 16th after throwing a towel in Fred Clarke's face. That's probably why the tickets remained. He got picked up by Brooklyn.

[slidekellyslide]

Great pickup Paul.

[Lordstan]

Paul,
I am not a ticket guy, but getting Young's last win is pretty damn cool. Congrats

Second item this month for my federal league collection.

[ValKehl]

Marty, that 1923 Senators team photo is a nice pickup! I never knew that George Gibson was a coach with the Senators for that one year. FYI, I collect type cards, and I prefer to have Senators' players/coaches for my types. A couple of my tougher type cards are of Gibson, and now I will no longer look to replace them.

Hey Dan, I've always wondered, I know you have a Nebraska connection with your long-time collecting focus but do you also have a Native American connection to it?

I've always wanted one of these easel backed 1947 advertising signs from Louisville Slugger. I picked this one up very cheaply from the most recent Lelands auction.

I am 1/16th Native American. My great great grandmother was 100% Cherokee. I have never identified as NA though, nor would I have known if I hadn't found the papers and photos in my grandmother's stuff years ago.

That's not the reason I collect Native American baseball though. I just branched out from collecting the Nebraska Indians ball team memorabilia. All the research led me to want to expand.

Thanks for asking.

Very nice, Mark! I especially like the vintage snapshot.

[david_l]

Yeah that snapshot is super dramatic. I love the lighting and shadows on Gehrig. Fantastic.

Kindred spirits with shallow pockets!

Nice. To me, this sort of memorabilia is as cool and fun as any other.

[Lordstan]

Thanks Scott, David, and Phil.
I really like them as well.

I prefer to think we have discerning taste

Two recent eBay photo purchases:

1) Sal "The Barber" Marglie original pitching action photo from his no-hitter on 9/25/56 against the Phillies.

2) An original snapshot of HOF Bob Feller warming up on the sidelines prior to what I believe is the 1st HOF game at Cooperstown in 1939. The 1st HOF game featured a combination of former MLB stars as well as current players.
In 1940 the HOF game format was changed to feature two different ML teams. Many thanks to net54's own Jim Stinson.

I was amazed to find this mid 19th century hand colored lithograph "Cricket Match, Tonebridge School" at an antique/ flea market store today. It measures, with the frame, 45"x 27". When I saw it I took a picture of it and sent it to my wife. When I told her it was $50, she said "get it". It has already replaced the hunting scene litho we had in our family room. In person, the colors are just stunning. Not early baseball, but close. Also, Dave: Those A's pieces are just outstanding! Love the KC A's, as well.

They're both great!!!

I am on phone and can't see very well.. looks similar to mine. It was actually on the boat on way back with his exposure in ww. I will find the slug later and post. So if it is the same photo session.. I assume he would be uncomfortable. :(

Here's the back of mine, Ben. The two poses (yours and mine) look nearly identical, VERY subtle differences, almost like the photos were taken within a second or two of each other.......:confused:

Awesome photo, especially the Yankee Stadium setting. I was watching this one, but poof!...it disappeared. Nice buy Joey.

[GrayGhost]

Forgot bout this one. Got it a while back. Hey, Rogers thinks this is great reading:)

Thanks man...ya as soon as i saw it i made the guy a offer. 1950's Aaron photos are hard to find so i jumped on it

[mcgwirecom]

Made a trade for this. You don't see very many good used batting helemts.

[thecatspajamas]

Ill start with this one. Finally pulled the trigger on it and couldn't be happier

So happy you deleted the image less than a month later?

[JoeyFarino]

Thanks Lance! Its nice to know I can count on you to spend your time pointing that out. Keep it up

[gnaz01]

Joey, Lance's point is that if you're going to remove the image so quickly, why post it at all???

[JoeyFarino]

I see his point It just cracks me up because I really think he goes through all the threads to see if i deleted anything so he can point it out.

[JoeyFarino]

And I have no idea how to post a photo thats not part of my photobucket

[Forever Young]

I feel fortunate to have been able to add this 1927 Gehrig by Charles Conlon with all the fixin's( conlon stamp, writing, signiture and used for a card). It has it all.

I don't have to go through all your threads when you kick off the monthly pick-ups thread, and then delete the image before the month's done.

I do not use photobucket so pardon me for asking. Is it cloud storage? If so, do you put photos there using your computer? If that is the case you could probably save your photos in a file on your hard drive. If you are scanning your photos it would be very easy to send them to a scan folder. The same would be true if you use a digital camera and download onto your computer. They can be sent to a folder.

Yep, when uploading your photos, there should be a picture file they go to?

From there, I send them (right click) to "MY Documents" and use "My Documents" to upload them to Net54 using Leon's "Manage Attachments" link below every thread/post you start or reply in.

I likely have a 100 picture files alone filled with likely a thousand pictures or more. I can easily open any file/folder, click on a pic and open it up to view or right click on it before enlarging it and send it to "My Documents" or wherever I choose.

[horzverti]

That Conlon Gehrig is decent...if you like that kind of thing. I guess it is ok.
