Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>Here are a couple of my recent pickups.<br /><br />First an 1891 North Carolina Football player Cabinet photo; marked with a fraternity affiliation on back. Any other fraternity men on here? I was in Sigma Phi Epsilon in college.<br />Also it appears to me that the melon ball he is holding sports a very faint '90 on it.<br /><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/NCCabinetPhoto.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/NCCabinetPhotoBack.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br />Second, I had the pleasure of having a transaction with Bert Bell's son recently, and had a very long conversation with him on the phone. What a great guy with some amazing stories. He surprised me with the these two 1940's payroll checks of the Philadelphia Eagles, signed by Bert Bell.<br /><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/BertBellChecks.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>Doh, called the photo 1901 rather than 1891; and for some reason I couldn't edit the post.

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Very nice checks, Keith. Bell is a very typical case-in-point of an autograph being extremely rare until the family lets go of checks, documents, etc. Bell's signature was worth a lot of money at one point, but his son ended up selling a ton of signed material a few years back. Did he just give these to you? I really like the double-signed one you have depicted.

Posted By: <b>Joe</b><p>Keith,<br /><br />Nice pic. I, too, was in Sig Ep - Buffalo State. I believe your guy's fraternity is Phi Gamma Delta, although my Greek is a bit rusty. Back in the day getting that wrong would've meant pushups - which I could actually stand to do now, come to think of it.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I won this today on an ebay live auction....I really did not think my bid would hold up and I completely forgot about the auction until a few minutes ago. It's a Honus Wagner decal bat.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/91A0_mid.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/91A1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/91A2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>Great Bat Dan - nice pickup. Nice to meet a fellow Sig ep on here Joe. I went to Philadelphia University (Textile when I was there) You are right on the Phi Gamma Delta. I remember having to recite the Greek alphabet three times in the time it took for a match to burn out - ah fond pledging memories. Jodi, yes he did just give them to me after finding out I was an Eagles collector. He's a great guy and regailed (sp?) me with several stories about his dad during our phone call. As a thank you for the checks, I surprised him with an additional item he wasn't expecting. The bottom check mentions that it is for Advances to MacMurdo and Oneill for travel. I am pretty sure they were coaches in 1940, and MacMurdo was a player for the Birds in the late 30's.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I don't know Mike, it looks short to me, but I would guess it's at about 32". At least I hope it's that long. Still a good price though IMO.

Posted By: <b>Mark Steinberg</b><p>Dan: <br /><br />Congrats on a GREAT pickup! That Bat is sweet, and you really "stole" it at that price. Hard to believe the seller would not think to put "Honus Wagner" in the subject heading... I bet that omission cost him a few $$$.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I'm not sure the sellers even had a clue that it was a Honus Wagner bat. Or even if they know who Wagner was? This was the only baseball item in the entire auction.

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>I have been trying to pickup one of these for years, and finally did in an auction last night. This pretty much completes my Eagles Kail collection. It is a 1960's Fred A Kail Eagles Stadium Ashtray.<br /><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/018_Lot1728a_lg.jpg"><br /><br />Next is a 1907 U. of Penn vs Amherst Baseball program.<br /><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/PennAmherst.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>I may have posted the Oval Cab in the past. I don't remember exactly. It's been awhile since I've picked anything up. But the oval is becoming one of my favorites. I like the TExtor too, but it is pretty banged up.<br /><br /><br />Check out the shoes. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1197248473.JPG"> <br /><br /><br /><br />Again with the inappropriate shoes. What is it with these gals playing in heels?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1197248513.JPG"> <br /><br /><br />Not much to look at, but for $15 the price was right. It's not a PC, it's slightly bigger. Anyone from Ky familiar with the city or name?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1197248579.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Sweet. All of this came from Stuart's estate sale huh? Did you go or just your dad? btw. in case you weren't aware, Dick Wagner was the GM of the Lincoln baseball club at the time Stuart hit his 66 homers. He later went on to work in the Cincinnati Reds front office. He just passed away about a year ago.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Went on a mini buying trip today to one of my favorite small towns and picked up a few cool items.<br /><br />Stopped in the first antique shop and headed for my favorite booth and picked up this Lefty Grove glove...kinda smallish so I think it's a youth glove. Needs some help, but for $15 I wasn't going to leave it there.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/frelefty002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/frelefty004.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/frelefty005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Also picked up this niftly little paper doll from 1894 McLaughlin's Coffee...Never seen it before. She folds over. I had to buy about 20 other dolls just to get this one, but I'll sell the rest on ebay and easily make my money back.<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/fremascot.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Next stop I found a nifty Wahoo Main Street postcard which clearly shows a banner hanging over the street that says "Baseball Today". Wahoo is the home of Sam Crawford.<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/frewahoo.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Also solved a mini mystery of mine as I've always wondered what year this Cornhusker baseball team photo is from...I found a 1930 Nebraska Yearbook and it contains the exact same photo with all the players named...coached by John "Choppy" Rhodes a Nebraska baseball and football legend. He also coached the U of Wyoming in Football and was on Dana X Bible's football coaching staff when he was at Nebraska. The photo is the 1929 team.<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Nebraska%20Baseball%20Memorabila/C1920CornhuskerBaseballSmall.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>Nice pickups, Dan...<br /><br />Looks like a successful little excursion you had. Condition is rough, as you say, but Lefty Grove endorsed gloves are very very tough.<br /><br />Regarding the paper doll... she is adorable, and in great shape for one that old. But what is she holding... a catchers Mask? Very cool piece!

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Hey Dan,<br /><br />Check this out. Not a recent pickup but might be from the same series as yours. I got if from the BST awhile ago.<br /><br />A few things of interest:<br /><br />At National this year Terry Knouse had a few of these - don't remember exactly but one was a basketball player, plus a few others. There is actually another piece to the ones he had. It was like a two-sided skirt or petticoat and top - something like that - and was a separate piece that slipped over the head. You could pull a tab and "lift" the skirt to see what was underneath. <br /><br />So mine is definitely missing the top piece. The girl is clearly in underwear, while yours looks more like a full outfit itself. Somehow the top piece left the arms/hands, etc in the "right" position - didn't cover them up or whatever - so yours could maybe have had a top piece even though she is holding the mask. Mine is MacLaughlin and has an 1894 date on it.<br /><br />Second thing that I just couldn't help but notice on mine - just a wierd little oddity. I was struck by how exacting my front and rear views were in terms of matching up the picture. Every flower, leaf, bat position, etc, is exactly correct from the front to the back - meaning consistent as to the front of a person and the same picture from the back.<br /><br />Except her feet! Check it out: In the back view, the girl's right foot (and foot to the right in our view) is clearly forward. But in the front view, the forward foot is the girl's left foot (to the right in our view). So they went to really painstaking care to get each flower and leaf right, and then got the feet backwards! That means ... nothing, really. I just couldn't help but notice it.<br /><br />Cool pieces, that's for sure.<br /><br />Joann<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1197755379.JPG">

Posted By: <b>CarltonHendricks</b><p>Below are three pickups for December so far, and probably this is it for the month. I did get one other very special item in Leland's which hasen't arrived yet, so will wait on that one. <br /><br />Tennis Gal poster 26" tall x 20 1/5" wide framed<br /><img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/TenisShoeGalPoster1903.jpg"><br /><br />The Champion Tennis Shoe poster with the gal tennis player I got out of a James Julia auction. They had it in a grouped lot of five signs, so I had to bid on the whole lot to get it, click this this link <a href="http://www.jamesdjulia.net/atd/nov07/catalog_detail_shots.asp?Details=8043" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.jamesdjulia.net/atd/nov07/catalog_detail_shots.asp?Details=8043</a> to see the whole lot. I got them all for $345.00 including premuim, plus $68.00 shipping. I took a little chance and opted to ship them the cheapest way, ground with no insurance...as I couldn't, if it got broke, see filing a claim for one poster when the whoe lot went for $345...they'd pay me $60.00 if I was lucky. Julia did an excellant job packing them. On the back it says Copyright 1903 United States Rubber Co American Lithograph Company. Little creasing at the top, and a little hole in her dress, but pretty good over all condition, and already $framed$ I'm very pleased with it, and a buddy wants it whenever I want to move it.<br /><br />Winslow's Skates poster 25" tall x 18" wide framed<br /><img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/full.jpg"><br />I got the Winslow's Skates poster at a bottle show of all places, in Auburn Calif. in the Gold Country above Sacramento. Great show, biggest bottle show in Calif. Went to early entry day and a guy had a bunch of signs. Actually I posted about fifty photos of the show on my site if you want to see them, here's the link: <a href="http://sportsantiques.com/49erbottleshow12_07.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://sportsantiques.com/49erbottleshow12_07.htm</a> Got the poster for $150.00...lotta bang for the buck! The gal has a hockey stick in front of her which I think is neat...I thnk Winslow's was the biggest skate company in the country at the time...made ice and roller skates. The background graphic is unusual in that it looks like wood paneling.<br /><br />Gillies Coffee tin 4 3/8" tall x 5" wide<br /><img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/WithCoke.jpg"> <br /><img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/CloseGoal.jpg"> <br /><img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/RushersClose.jpg"> <br /><img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/Inside.jpg"> <br /><img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/OppositeSide.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/TinsWRedGillesFB.jpg"><br />I got the mustard yellow Gilles Coffee tin with football graphics on eBay for $80.00. It's from around 1890, and very rare. I have a red one in better condition which you can see in the photo above with my other tins (old photo), which I got from John Buonaguidi for I think it was like $500.00...so $80 isn't bad. My red one has a lid, and the graphics are stained on this yellow one. Actually you can read more about the red one on my site, in this page link below, which I wrote back when I got it:<br /><a href="http://sportsantiques.com/whatsnewarchivepage.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://sportsantiques.com/whatsnewarchivepage.htm</a> This yellow color is my favorite color tin. I was in Adamstown once and saw a c1880-90 sperm oil tin this color, with an illustration on the front of a bicycle rider coming right at you thru a wheel with spokes. It was the best thing I saw in the whole town, but wouldn't you know it...it was priced out of reason (I thought at the time anyway) at $1,200.00, and it was near mint!...but I was on my way to a National, and figured I'd need the money there....It was at South Side Antiques as I recall and the managment would'd let me take a photo which killed me! Anyway, back to this coffee tin...I had to take a shot of the dead spider inside...gives it that virgin just found in a barn feel. If you can believe it, the Gillies Coffee Company is still in buisness in Brooklyn!! and they have a website!!! <a href="http://www.gilliescoffee.com/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.gilliescoffee.com/</a> How's that for full circle? When I got the red one, the girl I was seeing at the time ordered some Italian Roast from them...it was good coffee! <br />

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Carlton, I got them off of ebay for $19.99...I was the only one that bid. A real bargain at $10 apiece in my opinion, but there is not much interest in Ruth snapshots in which he is not in a baseball uniform. Not sure why, but that's okay with me as I'll pick them up every time at that price.<br /><br />Fan taken snapshots are a favorite area of collecting for me:<br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Hall%20Of%20Famer%20Photos/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Hall%20Of%20Famer%20Photos/</a><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/1937-41%20Brooklyn%20Dodgers%20Spring%20Photos/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/1937-41%20Brooklyn%20Dodgers%20Spring%20Photos/</a><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Minor%20League%20Snapshots/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Minor%20League%20Snapshots/</a><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Vintage%20Baseball%20Snapshots/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Vintage%20Baseball%20Snapshots/</a>

Posted By: <b>Mark Steinberg</b><p>I am stoked... my final purchase for 2007...<br /><br />This rare depiction of the Brooklyn Bum has been on my Pennant want-list forever. This is one variation you simply NEVER see. I finally nailed it down at what I feel was a really good price. <br /><br />Had to out-dual Dave B. (who currently appears to be on a pennant rampage) for this one.
