Show Off Your Advertising Signs
 
One of the things I love looking at is advertising signs or posters featuring our favorite sports stars. I would love to pick up a few Yankees pieces one day, but don't know how to go about grabbing one, where to get the or how to tell a repo from a real sign.

That said, post what you all have. Vintage, modern everything in between. Baseball, football, hockey,basketball. Please post them here.

Polo Grounds - Knickerbocker Beer ad sign, cardboard.

Great signs guys.

Funny, I always thought the Giants were on WOR-TV, channel 9 here in NYC. Always thought WPIX was exclusive to the Yankees back in the days. You learn something new everyday.

Circa 1939-1940 Cincinnati Reds Bruck Beer Poster with Vander Meer
 
1 Attachment(s)
One of my favorite pieces that I don't currently have displayed is this Bruck's Beer advertising poster with Johnny Vander Meer.

I have been told that a former employee of Bruck's saved this poster after it had been on display somewhere in Cincinnati. Bruck's Beer was apparently one of the stadium advertisers at now defunct Crosley Field for many years. This was a pickup at The National a few years ago and it came from the long-time outstanding Cincinnati Reds collection of Steve Wolter (Sports Investments).
Dimensions of the poster is 18" x 24"

That's a great piece, Scott...

I was under-bidder on a similar one over 10 years ago.... and have not seen one since. It was NRMT, amazingly. I sure wish (in retrospect) that I pursued it more aggressively.

Great posts by all.... I think maybe Bob should have his own thread, though ;)

Thanks Mark! I would have to agree with you on Bob's great advertising collection.
It's absolute eye candy! :eek:

Thanks Rob. Not in the best shape but It's one of my favorite advertising pieces.

yankeesjetsfan 06-22-2017 07:30 AM

Such awesome pieces guys. I am digging those SF Giants and that 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers Schaefer Beer piece. I remember as a kid Schaefer became the sponsor for the Mets, which is how I associate Schaefer with. I remember in college, my buddy and I used to have steak & bad beer nights and Schaefer was one of the beers on the menu.

I've posted a fairly common '59 Orioles Gunther piece, but really makes for a nice display.

Yeah, I love the look of that! What's the size?

Not baseball, but advertising nonetheless.....

yankeesjetsfan 06-23-2017 02:47 PM

Great pieces everyone. Keep them coming!

Any advise on picking up advertising pieces? I'd be looking to grab 1970's & 80's Yankees.

Thanks,

Mike

The piece is roughly 35"x24"; so fairly large.

Mike,

Unsure if this would help, but since I collect Orioles items I typically search for "Orioles sign or banner" on eBay and search just Orioles items w/in auctions. I've picked up several pieces over the years in this way. Also, let collectors and dealers know what you collect and make connections and often time friendships will be established. I'll have people routinely tell me about items available as well as items they've seen or heard about that I may be interested in.

yankeesjetsfan 06-23-2017 04:41 PM

Great advice sir. Thank you so much.

Wonder if it's ok to start a Beatles Thread here... would really love to see more.

I'll post some Baseball stuff, if my computer will ever cooperate. I've sold/traded a few of my better pieces, but still have a few worth showing. Just need to enlist the help of a tech-savvy millennial :o
