February 2016 New Pick Ups
 

Lets see some new pickups. I picked up this two and a half ft wide by 5 ft long Negro Leagues banner today.

George Sisler post career bat
Milky Cabrera San fran bat
Todd Green Game Used catchers glove
Juan Rincon Game Issued Glove

If I may ask, what did you have to pay for the Melky bat?

$35..

Was very pleased to pick up this 72 Mays bat. This one came directly from a former player who played in the big leagues in the 60s and 70s. Fantastic bat, with great use and a great look.

Great Mays gamer, Steve! :cool:

Thanks Scott!!!!!

King Carl 1939
 

I recently picked up this great original photo of "The Meal Ticket" Carl Hubbell from the 1939 Baseball Centennial Season on the BST for $10.
Awesome!! :cool:

Love these "Family pictures". just treated myself in these lousy times to this neat one of Da big Train after retirement.

PS anyone got an extra free car? LOL:) even one that just runs ok..need one bad.

Anyways, THE TRAIN and the Baby!!!

Scott, that shot of Hubbell is KILLER. Amazing pickup, especially for $10.

Thanks Graig!! Can't beat it.

Steve, beautiful Mays gamer. I hope to add one just like this at some point for my Minneapolis Millers collection.

February pick up
 

A Type I photo of game one of the 1947 World Series, featuring my favorite, Joe D.
Although it is a little hard to make out, Joe is running for home (he would make it, I think), and I believe that Jackie Robinson is at first (I used a magnifying glass)!

I think it a cool little piece of baseball history.

1990's game used Capital City Bombers jersey (Mets single A)

Wally Post
 

1950s Wally Post gamer and 1956 Parade Magazine with Post cover.

Dave Grob

1946-49 Bobby Doerr Gamer

Pleased with price point

Nice stuff guys.

Just added this PSA/DNA GU10 Jeter to my collection.

Nice Jeter bat! Picked up this huge advertising piece for the Ultra Fashionable Howard Hat. In the background is a scene of a baseball game. Probably one of my favorite pieces in my collection.

Incredible Ron. Congrats!

Thank you Joe!

Thanks for the compliment on the bat, Ron.

Might I say, that ad piece is off the charts!

Deb Garms
 

I wish I could find the DiMaggio that goes with it. It is about 26" tall and 12" wide

Thanks! I am super happy with it!

Debs Garms broke up Johnny Vander Meer's no-hit streak in the 3rd game, Bob.
Neat pickup, I haven't seen that one.

I haven't been very active lately. My most recent pickups have been small. The unscored program with the two attached ticket stubs is from opening day 1973 when the Pirates retired Clemente's number.

Nice item Bob!

And Scott, I really like your new Hubbell photo. Solid.

Also, in all my years of being a bb fan, I never looked up when Johnny V, gave up a hit in the 3rd game. Of course you know Scott.

Love the Boggs AS bat, even though it isn't the one he hit his HR with, but how about the packaging?? Thanks, Mile High!

WOW! :eek: I hope you wrote them back and included pics?

Wow! That is about as careless as it gets. Thankfully it arrived at all.

Looks like Mile "High" has been hitting the Wacky Tobaccy hard since they made pot legal in CO. :rolleyes:

I did, and I've gotten no reply!

Are they kidding they just sent that with tape across the top I'm surprised that didn't disappear with the mailman

I'd be p*ssed, as I assume you are, but talk about rubbing salt in the wound by not acknowledging you! :mad:

Vintage Draper and Maynard ball cone display
 

I recently added this D & M vintage cone shaped ball display to provide an interesting way to show my Vander Meer endorsed circa 1939 ball.

The ball, original box and display are all toughees. Great complimentary pieces that belong together! :)

Wow!!!!
 

I have had pool cues arrive with weird packaging like that, and it turned out that it had been opened and then 're-sealed' by the USPS. In one case two one-piece pool cues were sticking out the end of the tube, one with the end of the cue cracked off and no longer present. I had done business with the guy before, so I knew it wasn't his packaging.

On the other hand, I recently had a $450 baseball bat arrive from a large auction house, simply bouncing about in a box.

Now, when a customer sends detailed packing instructions, I understand their fears.

I friggin' LOVE February!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Holy Cow!!!!! I NEVER thought in my wildest dreams that I would add something like this to my Joe DiMaggio collection!!!!

Quick thanks to my girlfriend, who stopped at the post office for me (I work too late to get there), and signed for it.

I have to make sure I clarify that it is not a real gamer. The seller said that Whitey and Mickey used to run a fantasy camp back in the '80s, and it is likely that it came from that. He had a Mantle companion jersey for sale with a similar inscription, and I was able to photo match that to Mick at fantasy camp in about 1 minute on Google, so I took the chance on Joe (I thought about Mick, but unfortunately, couldn't afford both).

But I don't care, because I got the jersey that Whitey got right off Joe's back!

Thank god she didn't surprise you and wash it for you, "honey, I got that ink right out."

JK - awesome p/u!

Tiger Catchers

A co-worker who collects WWII aircraft photos bought a collection and found this baseball photo in the stack. He knew I collect Tiger items and gave it to me.

Super photo, Jim! :)

My first Rose Company postcard.
