Well it's August 24th...the National was over on August 3rd...and I have now posted all the photos I took on my website SportsAntiques.com , link above...I wasn't going this year and I went to email a group of friends to let them know I wouldn't be there...and a buddy of mine, since he was going, John Gennantonio shot back..."what if I paid for your airline ticket with my air miles?"...So that pursuded me and I swung into action four days before the National...got a last minute plane ticket and room... and off I went...and guess what....turned out to be one of my best National's... <img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/NewsboyFBApron_zpseb71c7f8.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo NewsboyFBApron_zpseb71c7f8.jpg"/> I got five pieces...and very happy with all of them. I've gone to the National before and bought stuff that was OK but not wild about...and even last year I hardly bought anything....but this year each of the five pieces I really like...You'll see them all in the photos...see one above...first apron I ever bought...Enjoy the photos...I'll post a brief overview on my site later....but for now I'll get the photos up for everyone to see...-Carlton |
Great photos, thanks.

super share
Thanks! You did a great job this year and I dig the rugby bottle. Any idea what the seller was asking for the outrageous "Hot Ball" caddie label (?) or sign you pictured? I've only seen a couple of the vertical ones like the one I have (needs work) and never that one. It has superior "presence"..........

Thanks Carlton - your pictures are always the next best thing to actually being there.:)

Carlton,
Thanks for the great photos, and congrats on your cool pickups. Patrick |
Thanks, Carlton. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with you before the show opened!
|
Thanks Much
Thanks all for the encouraging words...glad you enjoy the photos...
1880nonsports, thanks yeah that Rugby bottle was a great find for me....I've been going to bottle shows for years looking for something like that...so I know exactly how rare it is...On that "Hot Ball" caddie label...doesn't ring a bell...send me a link to the photo and I'll tell you what I can.... Chris, It was a pleasure meeting you... By the way FYI...I just added six photos...of a Peerless football and a Goldsmith basketball advertising poster...somehow they got left out...you can see them right above "Carlton's Pickups" on page 7 <img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/PICT9495_zpsbc867590.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo PICT9495_zpsbc867590.jpg"/> <img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/PICT9489_zps79791b5f.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo PICT9489_zps79791b5f.jpg"/> |

Hey Carlton, once again a great job! I was in the hall a few hours before you and I didn't see half that stuff. Thanks for your great work, looking forward to the story.

Your contributions to our hobby are so significant Carlton. Thank you and congratulations on another exceptional recap.:)

Thanks

Thanks for all the pictures and thanks, especially, for the recap of the Spalding's Foot Ball box. I don't personally believe this, but some folks say if you WIN an eBay auction you are just a sucker who paid more than anyone else in the world would pay for a particular item. It's always easier for me to come in third!
|
Thanks a lot for the kind words about my booth Carlton! It was nice chatting with you, and I am glad you ended up with the Rugby bottle. When I first picked it up, I thought of you first, so I am glad that is where it ended up. Great job with your photo coverage too.

Thanks

http://www.sportsantiques.com/spalding_fb_box.htm You're welcome...yeah that Spalding box phew!...what an artifact... Keith, You're welcome....you were a great contribution to the National |
It was nice to meet you, Carlton. I agree - Keith J's booth was a great one. I also really enjoyed William P's booth that he shared with a buddy (yikes-I forgot his name! my sincere apologies). It's amazing what William is able to do with his bat creations, and that super-glove! I apologize to these guys for not coming by at the end of the show and trying to deal for one of their 100+ yr-old gloves, but it would have exceeded my sales! (and have been worth it)

Carlton -
Amazing photos, as always. Thank you for posting them! One item caught my eye that I knew I had read about before. It was the 1896 Football Calendar pictured near the top of Page 5 of your photos, in the right column (it's in the lower left corner of the photo frame). I keep an archive at home of informative articles I've read over the years or pieces that I'm particularly interested in and l flipped through it last night. Sure enough, I found the article I remembered, and it turns out that you wrote it! It's from the June 13, 2003 copy of SCD. Hopefully the scans can be read. Below is your photo, with the scans I attached of the article you wrote. I wonder what booth this was from or who is selling it? Thanks! |
Fantastic reporting as usual Carlton! Thanks.
