September Pickups

[Jim65]

2 Programs from my hometown of Paterson, NJ c1930's

[ruth-gehrig]

Today was not a strike out day at the antique show....I believe I at least got on base for once :p
Apparently this is a rather rare ashtray. If it weren't for net54 I wouldnt have known of it's existence. The following is a link where these were previously discussed.

!!!!!!! That's great!

[bigfanNY]

Wow what takes it over the top is the 1934 hangtag... sweet

[bigfanNY]

Got this in the Mail today from another board member. Love the Cy Young cover pic. 1908 was his last 20 win season..

[pherbener]

Just got this Shoeless Joe, Van Oeyen from Christies today! Very Happy!!

[GKreindler]

That's a beaut, Paul!

[jb217676]

Greta Stuff everyone, love the Shoeless Joe!!! Here's a recent pick-up of mine, a 1948 snapshot of Connie Mack & friend!

[pherbener]

Thanks Graig. I love that snapper JB!

1949 Yankees team signed baseball

[Bicem]

Amazing photo Paul!!

[bobfreedman]

Michael me Paul very nice pickups, I received the Temple Cup print today as well. I picked up the scorer on eBay and have no idea who the player is? Can anyone help out with who it is? Thanks

[pherbener]

Thanks Jeff! Bob, I love the print!! Great pickup!!

[Scott Garner]

Congrats to all of the other collectors that have posted their pickups this month. Definitely some great ones!
I'm very happy to have added this nice example of the elusive printed date version of Sandy Koufax's 3rd no-hitter ticket on 6/3/64 at Philadelphia Phillies.

This is an excellent compliment to the Type I original photo that I have from this same game. Many thanks to long-time hobby friend and Koufax collector Phil Paul that helped facilitate this pickup.

[horzverti]

Paul,
Nice buy with the Shoeless photo. She is a beauty!

Scott, great pickup! I love the idea of pairing type 1 photos with the tickets! It makes for a great display piece.

[mr2686]

Great pickup Scott. Can you tell me how scarce the printed date type is compared to the others? Is this one to upgrade an existing non-dated version or is this a first for you?

[Scott Garner]

[Scott Garner]

Hi Mike,
Great questions!
FYI, many Phillies tickets from this era are undated or have stamped dates.
In my experience finding ANY dated ticket to this game is an extremely tough find, period, in spite of the fact that over 29,000 were in attendance that night. In terms of findability, Koufax's 3rd no-hitter is WAY tougher than any of his other 3 no-hitters at LA. LA collector's saved these tickets and virtually all of them had printed dates.
By 1964 Koufax was a huge draw at the gate, wherever he pitched, reportedly adding about 10,000 additional fans to gate attendance.

To put it in perspective, I have seen/heard of perhaps 8-10 tickets to this 3rd no-hitter game surfacing in the hobby in all the years that I have collected this theme (over 45 years). I suspect that about 7-8 are of this variety, but that's a guess. The purple stamped date ticket is a bleacher ticket from the left center field portion of the stadium that held about 5,000 fans and full capacity.
I will tell you that I receive inquiries from collectors several times a year looking for a ticket to Koufax's 3rd no-hitter. It continually seems to be one that is on collector's want lists.
This does indeed upgrade a stamped version of this ticket that I have in my collection, but I plan to hang onto it because of sentimental value. This cemented a great collecting friendship long ago with Koufax specialist and net54 board member Phil Paul.
Additionally, the patron that owned this stamped date version ticket, Joseph Goldstein, was Jewish & obviously very proud of Sandy Koufax's triumph and his own ethnicity that night. So much so that he signed his own name on the back. So many great themes that I personally love as a collector, intersect with this particular example of this ticket... ;) :D

My Cincinnati Reds collecting interest (with few exceptions) ends with the 1970season. Thought this was a nice contextual piece for Riverfront Stadium. I have a few bats like this (first player to bat at a new stadium). There are any number of team/ball park collectors, but what seems to escape them until pointed out (CPT Obvious here), is that the first player to bat in a new ball park is going to be from the visiting team.

Cool bat -- particularly in context. And the accompanying photo and text are also very cool. What program are you using to put that together?

Thanks. I do these in PowerPoint. For may of these I end up saving them as a .pdf file and then take them to a local FEDEX Office Center where I have them printed and mounted/laminated on museum quality foam board. Size is around 8x10 and they look great with the item. Very affordable if you can do the design/graphic work yourself.

[Topnotchsy]

WWII signed baseball with signatures of Vince DiMaggio, Red Ruffing and some others. Was torn on pursuing this because the price tag was bumped significantly by the presence of "Wimpy" Quinn's signature. Quinn was not a particularly memorable player, (pitched 5 innings total) but due to his untimely passing in 1954, he is one of the rarest signatures of the 40's.

Given that he played ball while in the Military, WWII signed balls may be the most common source of his autograph. It is actually the second one I own. The other is a GU ball from the 1945 Navy All-Star Game.

I just added really nice scored programs to HOF Sandy Koufax's 1st and 3rd career no-hit games from 1962 and 1964, respectively. The patron's scoring job on both of these is exceptional, IMHO.
It should be noted that the 3rd no-hitter scorecard in 1964 is extremely challenging to find in any condition from what I hear.
Many thanks to Phil Paul for passing the baton and allowing me to add these to my collection...

The 3rd no-hitter scored program pairs up nicely with the 3rd no-hitter ticket that I picked up in September as well.
I guess September is Sandy Koufax pickup month for me. :)

Great finds. Well and neatly scored programs are fantastic, first-hand records of the game. That these relate to such historic games just makes them that much cooler. Congratulations.

[bigfanNY]

Picked up this 1963 St.Louis program from Stan Musial' s last game. Great shape..

[bigfanNY]

This is the nicest 1906 Philadelphia program I have ever seen. Game was July 2nd vs the Highlanders who won 5-1. Picked it up at Westchester N.Y. show this month.

[Jim65]

1976 Wayne Garrett game used jersey. I had the Casey Stengel/Joan Payson armband and the Centennial patch restored.

Great jersey all the way around. The '76 Centennial patches are very cool. And I've always thought the Mets skyline patch to be the best arm patch in MLB.

[Westsiders]

Recently picked up these three.

[baseball tourist]

LOVE the bats!!

[yankeesjetsfan]

Great stuff guys!

Mike

[yankeesjetsfan]

Love that Dodgers program.

[Westsiders]

LOVE the bats!!
Thanks! I was able to pick them up thanks to another net54 member.

[CooperstownExpert]

Bill Buckner hit a homer in the first game I ever attended as a boy. Even after he left my hometown Dodgers he was still my favorite. I've stumbled upon and obtained Buckner's first pro contract signed as an 18-year old, his first Topps contract, his Angels contract and his final payroll check as a big leaguer.

The newest pickup is his actual passport from 1970. It has me thinking...do collectors -- like me -- ever wake up with a fleeting moment of clarity in realizing collecting doesn't make sense? If so, I'd sure like to have that clarity more often.

If you want to see all the stuff on Buckner, pieces on every member of the Hall, and more than 200 non-HoF guys, please check out CooperstownExpert.com. There's decades of collecting there. I hope you enjoy the site, but please tell me the danger signs that point to being unbalanced as a collector. I may have missed a few along the way!

[Dave Grob]

I don't see myself launching into pinback buttons, but these appealed to me as wonderful contextual smalls to augment some related uniforms and stadia items.

[daves_resale_shop]

Pretty psyched to add this Umass (my alma-mater) gamer to my collection

[Mark]

Recently picked up these three.

Westsiders,

The grain on that Pontiac bat is amazing. Does it have signs of much use?

[Lordstan]

Got this a couple months ago, but didn't get a chance to post it till now. Late 1930's Gehrig JC Higgins 1664(I think. Any glove experts out there willing to correct or confirm my identification would be appreciated)

Super-rare beauty.... that Gehrig is a magnificent Mitt.

Nice pickup, Mark!

[Lordstan]

Thanks Mark.

[Scott Garner]

Nice Gehrig mitt, Mark! Congrats on your pickup.

[mr2686]

Nice Gehrig mitt Mark! That's going to look great on display.

Wow!

You simply don't see Jeter inscribed items.

So bob what's the story on the bat. How did u aquire it.

[eastonfalcon19]

A few newer pickups. I bought the Mantle papers this morning at the flea market. They are from April and May 1951.

^^^^ As usual, there's a dog in the group photo. :p

[yankeesjetsfan]

Love that Jeter auto and that Ladies Yankees hat. Great pieces!

These Johnny Hero uniforms aren't rare by any stretch but took me a while to find one without an inflated BIN.

[yankeesjetsfan]

I'm eyeballing a couple Yankees and Jets Johnny Hero's on eBay as we speak. I almost got a Yankee for under 50.00, but some sniper grabbed it with 3 seconds left and my cell phone couldn't set itself up in time for me to make a counter bid.

The search continues.

The Mets BIN were always around $50-70, I waited and paid $20 for this one. Be patient, a better deal will come along.

Not prewar but I got a Maz Golf course Card. I must have played there a hundred times and never kept one of these.

Agree with Jim about the prices.

You need to get your own snipe program. Put in a bid you're comfortable with and let the chips fall where they may.

Nice bunch of pick-ups this month! The Anson Presentation bat is amazing. I recently picked up an interesting Anson item. Here's an excerpt from the Adams County Free Press (94/1909):

"This should not keep anyone away from the big Clarinda fair, as the best base ball names ever played in the state will be played there on next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Humboldt, la., Atohlson, Kan., Superior, Neb., and Clarlnda are the teams. All are high salaried players, the best that money can hire. Capt. A. C. Anson, probably the greatest base balllest the world has ever produced, will umpire all the games. There will be two games each afternoon. A schedule of the games may be found la the large advertisement on the last page of this paper."

[Dewey]

Saw a similar image in RMY a while ago, but never pulled the trigger. Glad to find a similar pic of Rickey and Jackie, Jr. 1949.
