That was my first glove. Got it over 50 years ago and still have it. I remember the day like it was yesterday.

Mickey Mantle Glove
 

That is just awesome. Where you involved in picking it out or was it a surprise?

It was a surprise. My Dad drove us to the Rawlings warehouse here in St. Louis where he had already picked out the glove. I remember him saying he had a hard time finding a left-handed model.
Thanks for posting the pic. It brought back a rush of very happy memories.

Johnny Mize Grand Slam ball
 

Picked up this Johnny Mize Grand Slam baseball. The seller had deciphered some of the light printing on the ball, but I managed to get it all. The ball is a Ford Frick NL Spalding baseball. By checking the stamping against examples in Brandon Grunbaum's Baseball guide I was able to determine this type ball was only used in 1947-48 which checks out with the info on the ball.

Some tickets etc.
 

Picked up a handful of stuff at a small antique show this past weekend. Might hang on to the photo but the rest will be for sale. Not sure how to price any of it.
