Babe "goin deep"

Beauty pieces, guys!

Love that Robinson! :)

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!

Very cool!

Thanks Joey its embarrassing how such trinkets make me happy. I suppose I lack depth:o

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!

arrived in the mail today via $11 shipping instead of the $378 Christies wanted to charge. nuts.

$378??? Were they going to drive it to you and take you out to dinner too? Great pickups! I love the Paige.

I just got this Jackie in the mail today.

That Satchel Paige is a thing of beauty.

1984-85 Dave Lapham USFL NJ Generals GU jersey, this is my 10th Generals jersey in my collection, a small milestone reached.

This was waiting for me at the office when I got here this morning.

Awesome Joe D.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice pickups, Mike!

Thanks Scott, apparently I'm clueless about the photos. No sooner do I pontificate about the likelihood that a Tavares photo doesn't exist...:o

Early commercial use of an iconic Matty photo.

I'll bet that guy got all the chicks!

Wrong forum!!

1948 Peaches
 

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!

1948 Peaches
 

Sorry for the pictures being sideways…lol

Picked up this 40" Winchester store display sign.

Peaches ball
 

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.

Great piece, Dan.

Two Pickups
 

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!

Awesome pick UPS Bob. I love the Feller.

Peaches
 

Thanks for the information….this was not something I was aware of...

Baseball pass
 

Awesome pass!

1957 WS Welcome Sign
 

Have wanted one of these for a long time.

Dave Grob

i like this little piece:)

Killer Piece!
 

Congrats Bob,

That season pass is incredible!

Patrick

The view from the Northern Territories must be horrifying.

99 down, 1 to go...
 

Ty Cobb, I'm looking for you...

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.

1938 signed Vander Meer Goldsmith ball with provenance!
 

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. :)

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

Your welcome Scott. It's now where it belongs.

Vandy Ball
 

First rate pick up all the way..

Dave Grob

Forbes field items
 

Just picked up these scoreboard pieces

c. 1866 CDV of Lon Kinch (b. 1841 - d. 1867), catcher, Columbia BBC (Bordentown, NJ)

Great pickup Scott! Your collection is one of my favorites. I love seeing your additions. Congrats!

Kurtz Mathewson Glove
 

Here is my H&S pickup, this makes it my 5th Mathewson endorsed glove

Rodeo Meats Ad
 

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!
