The Army pennant was from the Soldier Field official dedication game vs. Navy in front of 110,000 fans.

The Spalding football jersey is from 1905 (single year patch) and I've found a very similar (if not identical) jersey worn in early Vanderbilt football team pictures.

Thanks for looking...…...Matt

Museum quality. Awesome pick ups.

Turns my stomach. But had to get it. :)

Yet it warms my heart.

Gotta give it to Jackie....he retired rather than going to the Giants. "We" despise anyone who goes the other way. See: Kent, J; Schmidt, J; Uribe, J; etc.

I picked this sign up this last week, it looks to be the same image as the cigarette pack. Its 17" x 15" ish.

Awesome sign. I also picked up the 1960 version of the pack unopened still in cellophane. Going to frame the packs together like I did with these packs.

I'm certainly not fond of Jason Schmidt myself.

My latest pickup of a Dodgers fan from 1946 sums up how I felt about that deal too!

Great pick ups. Especially the uniforms guys.

I have had these for a while, but finally sent them in to get graded. All grades came back very strong as I expected.

1969 H&B Harmon Killebrew - PSA/DNA GU 10
1993 LS Kirby Puckett - PSA/DNA GU 10
1976 H&B Tony Oliva - PSA/DNA GU 9

I absolutely love these. Here is my 1991 gamer. Wish it was “the” one but at least the same year. PSA 9.5

Agreed! Nice lumber.

Rugby Town Railway Station Sign

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_railway_station
Here is a railway station sign I picked up earlier this month at the Sacramento Antiques Fair...it's from the town of Rugby in Warwickshire, England where the sport of Rugby was invented about 1845 at Rugby School…which American football was partially modeled after…So I sort of got a little piece where football originated…Of course nobody knew those details and the seller didn't seem to have a clue anything about it…offered it to me for $60.00…Lotta bang for the buck kinda piece…Not real old but got a little wear enough I'm confident it's original...Subsequent research turned up the Station was named "Rugby Midland" from 1950 to 1970 when it was used to differentiate from “Rugby Central” railway station which served the competing “Great Central Main Line 1899-1969”. After Rugby Central station closed in 1969, the "Rugby Midland" name was changed to the current "Rugby Station"...So I'm confident it's pre 1970...Can't believe I managed to squeeze it in!!!

I always look forward to your pickups, Carlton. Fun to learn the background of the Rugby sign.
