August Pickups.

[Jcfowler6]

Added this to my 1909 Pirates collection. I have another one of these from the same location but taken during the game. This one is during the dedication ceremony presumably prior to the game. Thanks Murph for the heads up on this.

If I only knew how to post photos :) , When I open them up on my computer, they are correctly aligned but, something happens when I post them, I do not get it????

Aren't you into software or something....?? :)

But there is a difference in software and image manipulation

[bobfreedman]

I bought the Cobb photo mainly because I thought it was an image used for a card. I could not recall the card until I came across this photo of the 1924 Willard Chocolate Card:

[kdixon]

Nice items Jon and Bob. This Zach Wheat wire photo came out of a scrapbook of a friend of Zach"s. Love his handwriting.

[Bicem]

Nice Bob, I was actually at that table when you bought the Cobb!

[Forever Young]

Nice Bob, I was actually at that table when you bought the Cobb!

As was I :)

But I wasn't eavesdropping like Ben was.

Ummm... huh? All you do is evesdrop:)

Jeff, thanks, you should have introduced yourself, I would l have loved to put a name with a face. I know Ben and his mug well enough :).

Ha! I didn't realize you two didn't know each other. That is awesome.

[Topnotchsy]

Picked up this 1929 Richard "Cannonball" Redding Contract. Been reading a lot about the Negro Leagues and thought it was a really cool piece.

[Dave Grob]

Something that has been on my wish list for some time.

At least you didn't say "bid manipulation" :)

[yankeesjetsfan]

Great stuff everyone.

Mike

[gnaz01]

Bought this and it had printers marks, carefully removed them (I guess that means I restored it :D)

I am going to frame it with my other military photos of Ruth and Cobb.

[ooo-ribay]

Just picked this up. It was filthy when I got it and the scroll that revolves through four scenes (BB, FB, bowling and golf) was completely trashed. I had a copy made of the same scroll I have in another Falstaff sign. I spent all day today cleaning it up and it's now maybe even a little better than new, thanks to a couple of updates I made to it.

[ksfarmboy]

Rob that is a great item. I got this at my local shop. Rarely do I find Orioles items there.

[ooo-ribay]

Rob that is a great item. I got this at my local shop. Rarely do I find Orioles items there.

Thanks, Clint. Is your item an advertising sign? How big is it?

[lefty147]

Congrats on the pickup Rob.

[ksfarmboy]

Rob yes it is. It has an easel back and is close to 14"x19". The front is molded plastic giving it a 3D look. Sorry for the small photo from my phone.

[Shoeless Moe]

I'd give anything for a Falstaff, why did they stop making it WHY???!!!!

[ksfarmboy]

A better pic.

[icollectDCsports]

The Falstaff and National Beer signs are fantastic! Congrats to you both.

[Joe Hunter]

Clint and Rob - both great pickups. Rob. don't you also have the lighted Giants team sign from the early '60's? It's also Falstaff, isn't it?

[ooo-ribay]

Rob. don't you also have the lighted Giants team sign from the early '60's? It's also Falstaff, isn't it?

This is my fourth Falstaff sign. Falstaff was a big supporter of the Giants in at least their first four years in SF. They sponsored pocket schedules and 6x9 team picture postcards in all of those years.

[eastonfalcon19]

Flea Market find from this morning.

I was thrilled to win this Trout ball. This is Mike Trout's 410th career hit signed and authenticated by MLB:

Picked up this note recently.

[mjkm90]

I have been looking for this Ron Santo PM10 for several years and I wasn't about to miss this opportunity. They just don't turn up and were apparently produced in small quantities. I am THRILLED:D

[ooo-ribay]

That's a little different looking than your average PM-10. Were there other Cubs with that same font?

[mjkm90]

LOL. I Have noooo idea. I call all the 1 3/4" player pins from the 50s and 60s PM10. I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT MAKES A PIN A PM10:p

[Mark70Z]

Rob that is a great item. I got this at my local shop. Rarely do I find Orioles items there.

Clint,

I really like the Orioles National plastic easel sign. I have one that's similar that I picked up many years ago and it's one of my favorite O's signs.

[Mark70Z]

Those Falstaff signs are some of my favorites and the new pickup is just awesome. I sure wish the O's had something like those, but unfortunately they don't. Those signs make for an excellent display in your Giants room!

[MK]

Congratulations Mike on getting the Santo. The price sure has gone up since I found mine. And Rob, I have never seen another PM-10 like the Santo. Was probably made in very short supply in the 60's by someone who sold them at Wrigley.

[ksfarmboy]

Clint,

I really like the Orioles National plastic easel sign. I have one that's similar that I picked up many years ago and it's one of my favorite O's signs.

Thanks Mark. I didn't even notice ours were different till I got it home and compared it to yours. Have you seen many and what do you value them at? Wonder what years they were made?

[ooo-ribay]

Congratulations Mike on getting the Santo. The price sure has gone up since I found mine. And Rob, I have never seen another PM-10 like the Santo. Was probably made in very short supply in the 60's by someone who sold them at Wrigley.

Looking in Paul Muchinsky's book, I see a similar pin of Luis Aparicio. I'm surprised to see only ten Cubs PM-10s in Paul's book.

[eastonfalcon19]

Not a pickup but finally put the scoreboard on the garage!

[Forever Young]

Bought this and it had printers marks, carefully removed them (I guess that means I restored it :D)

I am going to frame it with my other military photos of Ruth and Cobb.

Great contrast.. cool looking display.

[ooo-ribay]

Not a pickup but finally put the scoreboard on the garage!

You gotta relocate those windows! :p

[vintagesportscollector]

Not a pickup but finally put the scoreboard on the garage!

That is so darn cool. Can you see it from the street? Can your neighbors see it?

[eastonfalcon19]

The neighbors can see it and you can see it up the yard from the street. For the windows well thats for a different day.

[yankeesjetsfan]

Love those Falstaff & National Beer pieces.

I wish I found GU Bats at my flea market. Very nice!

Mike

[Mark70Z]

Thanks Mark. I didn't even notice ours were different till I got it home and compared it to yours. Have you seen many and what do you value them at? Wonder what years they were made?

I really don't know much about them so it's just a guess on my part, but I would think mid to late '60's. Mine had to be produced either after the '66 or '70 WS, but I would guess after the '66 Series. They loved the swinging bird with the crown on his head. I've probably seen 6-7 over the years of collecting. So it's fairly rare, but not to uncommon. At least to me, with the item being plastic the better the shape the more they are worth (at least to me). I would say 400-500 for one in nice shape. I think they are very cool!

[Shoeless Moe]

EastonFalcon is the master of Flea Market finds! But needs to change his name to EastonEagle, 'cuz of his Eagle eye!

[71buc]

I made a couple of minor additions to my collection. The first is an original photo of Babe Ruth that has been cut out and adhered to heavy card stock which appears to have been intended for use in a publication? It measures 7 3/4 X 13 1/2 the back is blank. Ruth looks young in the photo. Has anyone seen this image before? I thought it was cool and for $20 How could I go wrong? The second lot I picked up was listed as a 1971 World Series program. Although I already possess a copy, the two items (poster and Clemente item) included with it I had not encountered before. At $10 I was pleased to obtain them.

[Mark70Z]

That scoreboard is just plain cool!!

[yankeesjetsfan]

Very nice Mike! Anything with Ruth & Clemente is awesome in my book.

Mike

[sayheykid54]

1930's Baseball Player figural clock. Will be a nice addition to my collection.

[Shoeless Moe]

The Ruth with no eyes creeped me out, but yah for $20 bucks, why not.

[71buc]

It's white editorial paint so I'm going to take A chance and remove it. Like I said $20 What the heck😎

[mjkm90]

Wonderful clock. This has long been a favorite among figural collectors:)

[Jobu]

I don't think you should remove the paint from the Ruth. The picture is so heavily altered that it is a bit transformed into advertising art. I would leave it as it is. Plus, if you ever find what it was used for, will you want to have altered the piece used to make it?

[Ribbens]

Looking for any schedule collectors that can share some interesting information about a 1929 All-American Baseball Schedule published by All-American Services out of Chicago. The schedule has a sliding paper inside that reveals the schedule for the day/date and opponent for the 16 week season. The front has the baseball records in 1929 including Babe Ruth's 60 HR season in 1927.
I am assuming the advertiser in this schedule is a gambling business. Any insight here ?

[Bumpus Jones]

Here's a fun one for the ol collection. Recently picked up the sign to with the photo. Circa 1960 in LA.

[Mark70Z]

[Bumpus Jones]

Thanks, fellas.

[Dave Grob]

Wonderful Reds items as always..

[Jim65]

A few Mets pinbacks added to my collection

[jb217676]

I know this is a hockey item, but I thought you photo collectors might enjoy this one. It's a beautiful 1955 Type I Photo of Bobby Hull with the St. Catharines Teepees. The following note was hand written on the back, maybe by the photographer:

Lil Bobby Hull - Oct 6/55
Pilous (at the time coached the Teepees - future coach of the Blackhawks) knew he'd make a big splash his first day in TP's camp

Thanks Ben! It's tough to find real nice hockey photos.

[aelefson]

While an amazing image, the condition is really rough. It was priced to match though (which is why I got it).

Love that Mantle \ Mays 1951 WS photo. Nice pickup.

[ooo-ribay]

While an amazing image, the condition is really rough. It was priced to match though (which is why I got it).

Alan

I'm not a "photo guy," but that condition doesn't really bother me. The image that matters seems unaffected.

[aelefson]

Thanks guys! I like it too. Especially because the condition made it very affordable.

[Bicem]

Great photo!!!

[vintagesportscollector]

Thanks guys! I like it too. Especially because the condition made it very affordable.

+1. I love the photo too!!

[chalupacollects]

Picked up today!

[chalupacollects]

Just noticed both were postmarked the day the 1906 World Series started...!

[Westsiders]

Ron,
Love the Scoreboard! I have the same one hanging in my backyard. We even light it up on special occasions (looks amazing at night). My wife thought I was crazy, but now even she loves it. Best craigslist purchase I've ever made :)

[Bicem]

Cubs/Sox PC's are not rare (by postcard standards) but cool none the less, especially with the postmark date. Nice pickup.

[chalupacollects]

thanks!

[bobfreedman]

This piece was on my want list for a while

[YankeeFan]

I'm a big fan of that Pirates fan!

[bobfreedman]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. To give reference, it is 10" long when folded up and straightened out. I knew this before I purchased it but I was still awestruck with the size and condition.

There are less than five known and this one I believe was from the Halper sale although I am not 100% sure about that. Thanks again

[gnaz01]

Awesome my friend, great pickup!!!

[irv]

The things I continue to see on this site continuously blows me away! :cool:

[yankeesjetsfan]

Beautiful!

Just picked up the one on the right, so cheap I almost feel guilty.

Almost. :p

[ksfarmboy]

Nice adds Rob and Bob. I added this 1974 Boog jersey to my Orioles collection. Amazing how big this is compared to other jerseys I have from this era.

[ooo-ribay]

Nice adds Rob and Bob. I added this 1974 Boog jersey to my Orioles collection. Amazing how big this is compared to other jerseys I have from this era.

Wow! Look at that signature!

I've bemoaned this before....penmanship is dead....have you seen a Trout or Lincecum "signature"? Is there any current player who does better than a scribble?

[Mark70Z]

Nice adds Rob and Bob. I added this 1974 Boog jersey to my Orioles collection. Amazing how big this is compared to other jerseys I have from this era.

Love the Boog jersey! Great addition.

[ksfarmboy]

Thanks Rob and Mark. Rob you are definitely right about the signatures. I usually don't like my jerseys signed but I like the style and placement of this one.

[icollectDCsports]

Thanks Rob and Mark. Rob you are definitely right about the signatures. I usually don't like my jerseys signed but I like the style and placement of this one.

Great jersey. And I agree on the signature. I usually prefer game worn jerseys not be signed but, if they are, down on the tail is best in my opinion. Congrats.

[yankeesjetsfan]

Great lighter set & Boog jersey.

Mike

[71buc]

Boog! Awesome jersey

[sicollector1954]

Was lucky enough to run across this 1948/49 Joe Gordon professional model baseball bat.

[eastonfalcon19]

Finally added a Derek Jeter GU bat to the collection, no I didn't get at the flea market. I did get this Cigar Indian bust at the flea market this morning for a few bucks.

[perezfan]

Wow.... Terrific use on that Jeter Bat. Beautiful example.

Nice score!

[eastonfalcon19]

Thanks Mark!

[Mark]

Was lucky enough to run across this 1948/49 Joe Gordon professional model baseball bat.

[yankeesjetsfan]

Wow!! I collect Derek Jeter. Mainly cards and low budget stuff. I dream of owning a GU bat one day. Beautiful piece.

Wonderful uniform on so many levels. Has been a long time in the works. I even managed to pick up the photo of Reese holding a thermometer and smiling in his cool "Palm Beach" while Bruce Edwards sweats in his flannel.

Dave Grob
davegrob1@aol.com

That is freaking awesome, congrats Dave!!

[Dave Grob]

Thanks Leon. This is an extremely rare and significant uniform for any number of reasons. First, it is an extremely rare style and the only surviving example of a Brooklyn Dodgers “Palm Beach” style uniform that I have any record of and it is one of a very few that I know to have been produced for the Dodgers, Indians, and Athletics between 1949-1950. Additionally it is the earliest home Pee Wee Reese Brooklyn Dodgers jersey that I have any record of. 1949 was also an exceptional year for Pee Wee Reese as he led the major leagues with 742 plate appearances and the National League in runs scored with 132 (Reese remains today the Dodgers All Time Leader in Runs Scored). Additional 1949 saw Reese achieve career highs in home runs (16) and fielding percentage (.977).

Reese, unlike many of his team mates, performed extremely well in the 1949 World Series batting .316 (Robinson .188; Campanella .267; Snider .143; Furrilo .125, and Hodges .235). Of note related to the World Series is the fact is that Pee Wee Reese is the ONLY player on either team to have appeared in every game of every Dodger-Yankee World Series of 1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955, and 1956.

Finally, it was in 1949 that Pee Wee Reese was named captain of the Brooklyn Dodgers (See Roscoe McGowen, The Sporting News, 19 December 1956; “Pee Wee…The Pride of Flatbush”).

Congratulations are in order! You must have quite a collection.

[perezfan]

My goodness, Dave...

What a score! Insanely rare style, and a very early example HOF Player no-less. Beautiful and classic style, iconic franchise, and apparently great condition to boot. You really hit the jackpot with that one.


So many questions arise from this terrific find (and the photo...)

1. Is there any record of specifically who/how many players on the roster were issued the "Palm Beach" Uniforms?

2. Were the pants also "Palm Beach style", or were only the jerseys this lighter-weight style?

3. Were the players given a choice of Palm Beach vs. traditional Flannel?

4. Or did management simply decide for them?

5. If these were indeed superior in hot weather, why were they so short-lived? Why did the Dodgers and other teams revert back to heavy flannel?

6. Were there any "issues" with the lightweight material that contributed to their demise? Was it perhaps less durable?

It's hard to imagine teams today using different style jerseys for different players. I know that certain alterations are common (shortened sleeves, shortened tails, tapered widths, etc.)
But seems like having two completely different materials is a phenomenon that would never happen today.

Congrats on the fabulous acquisition!

[ser1979]

Picked this up a few days ago. 1909 Tigers Team postcard. There are several different versions of the 1909 Tiger postcards that are out there. This is one of the harder to find versions. PSA has only graded 2, with any luck this one will be number 3.

[Dave Grob]

Mark,

Thanks. I’ll take a shot at answering your questions as best I can:

1. Is there any record of specifically who/how many players on the roster were issued the "Palm Beach" Uniforms?
A: I don’t know of any formal inventory records of any manufacturer from ant team of this period. I do know that a pretty detailed photographic study and as well as contemporary information for the Dodgers, Indians, and A’s of this period indicates these were not ordered for all players. I suspect much of this was based on a player request.

2. Were the pants also "Palm Beach style", or were only the jerseys this lighter-weight style?
A: I don’t believe so based on images and not sure this would have been a practical fabric for pants.

3. Were the players given a choice of Palm Beach vs. traditional Flannel?
4. Or did management simply decide for them?
A: I would say player choice.

5. If these were indeed superior in hot weather, why were they so short-lived? Why did the Dodgers and other teams revert back to heavy flannel?
6. Were there any "issues" with the lightweight material that contributed to their demise? Was it perhaps less durable?
A: I am not so sure they were superior. First of all, in my comparative study, these “Palm Beach” uniforms are slightly heavier than the flannel fabric of the day. By 1949, fabric weight had gone from 8oz to 6oz with the introduction of synthetic fabrics. By the early 1950s, Wilson was already putting out garments in 4 1/2oz fabric and Rawlings in 1954 introduced a fabric that was 5.71oz made of a blend of Dacron and wool. I suspect they were short lived based on cost and they really were probably not that much cooler.

[perezfan]

Thank you, Dave...

Very interesting, and appreciate you sharing the extensive research you've put into this!

[btcarfagno]

Got this at the Christie's auction yesterday. The most I ever spent on an item for my women in baseball collection, but well worth it in my view. The cabinet card depicting her in uniform has twice sold for over $6,000. To me, the actual contract that made it possible is worth so much more. At least to me.

Lizzie Arlington (birth name Stride....she used Arlington as it was believed that a more European sounding name might bring more people to see her play) was the first woman to play in a minor league game. She pitched a scoreless ninth inning for the Reading Coal Baron's against the Allentown Peaches. Allentown included several players who either had played in the majors or were about to play there, including three Delahanty brothers (one of whom she got to pop out, another of whom touched her for a single). I believe she played second base for a good portion of the game as well.

Although it has not been confirmed, Ed Barrow (who signed her to the contract I just won) said she she also played in games for three other teams in the Atlantic League that year. I will do some research and see if this might be possible.

Anyway, this is the contract that made it all possible. The first woman ever to play in the minor leagues.

This is the only opportunity I have had to acquire a nice example of this mug to accompany the other example I own. I just love the color scheme of this set.

Carlton owns the only example of the pitcher for this set I am aware of. Finding another pitcher is definitely a collecting goal for me:D

1959 Giants home schedule lighter. I can see some Rittgers influence in the graphics.

Rob,

Your Giants collection and the pieces you pick up for it is astounding!

Great Clemente photo also!
