Today's yard sale pick-ups! 1962 Signed Dodgers! Atlanta Crackers. etc.
 

This stuff is out of my realm of knowledge, (to new) but when I saw all the baseball goodies I just started grabbing :). I believe most of this stuff was acquired by the gentleman himself at the time period...

I am not an autograph guy so I do not know if any of this stuff is authenticate? I am hoping to learn about what I have and see if I picked up something of real value? I see Koufax, Aaron, Niekro...? At the least, thought everyone would enjoy.

I will be posting more in the next few days as I go through it.

Just a few!
 

Here are a few of a Bunch of tickets....

Cool looking program with tons of signatures. Just FYI the ball is a machine stamped souvenir.

Autographs look great. Nice pickup

Another Ball
 

I was not sure if they were facsimiles or not? One question about the Balls... Do they stamp the leather before or after its made into a ball? Reason I ask is that I see ink on the threads....

What about this one?

Unfortunately that one is stamped as well.

Football
 

Thanks everyone,

Jeff, thank you - I removed most of the scans of the balls - no need in a bunch of junk.

Here is a sampling of some Fulton High School football programs (over 40!) from the 1950s. I do not believe they have a lot of value but I love the Graphics....

Nice haul...always worth scouring the high school programs for famous names.

Autos
 

I see Lindy McDaniel, Ray Sadecki, Ernie Broglio, Maury Wills, Doug Camilli, Jim Gilliam, Walter Alston, Sandy Koufax x2, Joe Moeller Wally Moon, Norm Sherry, Tommy Davis a few I can't tell.

Third Ball :) Southern Conference
 

Ok, surely these are legit signatures... :)

I know nothing about this ball - Looks like its fairly recent to me like 1990s?

Are these high school kids or is there something more to this ball?

Thanks again everyone,

It's a college baseball...not sure which team, but teams like Chattanooga, The Citadel and Samford are in the Southern Conference.

That one is definitely legit. College ball probably, I see Mark Teixeira on there.

Texeira played at Georgia Tech...not in the Southern Conference, but no doubt GT had Southern Conference teams on their non-con schedule.

Ga. Tech
 

Hey Guys... Ga. Tech. definitely makes sense (see photos) and that's just the tip of the iceberg....

Just a note about the stamped, facsimile balls: I wouldn't call them junk. They're considered collectible, even if their value is minuscule compared to their "real" counterparts. I've got a collection of about 20 Cleveland Indians team balls dating to 1948 and have dealt with other collectors who specialize in different teams. So even though you won't get rich flipping them, there is a market.

cool dodger program! I didn't realize Lena Horne was a lefty
.

Cool!
 

Imagine going to a garage sale in January! Here is Wisconsin we are up to our asses in snow and we won't see a garage sale until late March.

Might be worth a trip to Atlanta just to go garage saleing. (Is that a word?)

Nice stuff. I love the Sands autographed thing.

Rick

Rob......hopefully our earlier successful transaction doesn't wind up in my name being added to your signature.....LOL.....just noticed that....I'm a schosh behind..........funny stuff

Agree with Rob on the facs balls......they are collectible. Generally in the $10-$40 range depending on team, condition, etc. Have seen them sell for more than that too.........

Love the high school FB program graphics too and the tickets are cool......

That's funny... You guys are right - I need to start looking at the Facs balls in a different light. Its just when I was a child we did not think twice about them and I guess that still lingers in my mind.

As far as cold.... Its quite cold for Ga. these days - Todays high is 32 & low
19, I cannot believe people are have yard sales or even estate sales for that matter. I have been hitting both and even though Estate sales are inside - attendance is way down. Some people have no choice though I guess...

I have a lot more to show - didn't just pick up baseball stuff either - I got many old covers, stamps, basketball & football cards that I think are 1969 & 70...

I will post as time allows, thanks for the comments everyone.

I could be wrong but it looks like Mark Teixeira on the top of that side panel on the last baseball.

Maybe a college ball? Teixeira wore number 23 on the Rangers. It might even be a Rangers ball.

University of Chattanooga - Tennessee
 

I thought this was a neat little survivor: 1934 University of Chattanooga Football Schedule...

Here some of the basketball & football:

Also a Don Drysdale next to the Joey Bishop photo.

The last ball is definitely Georgia Tech, probably late 1990s or early 2000s. Teixeira was there until being drafted in 2001 I think. I see Danny Hall on the sweet spot. He's been the coach at Tech since the mid 1990s.
