I'm late in posting these 3 pickups that all originated from the 2015 National, but I was thrilled to find these:
An original vintage (circa 1939-1940) Brucks Beer & Ale poster that features the 1939 NL Champion Cincinnati Reds team including Johnny Vander Meer. This photo doesn't really do this piece justice, but it is 24" x 18" and has been enhanced with red and gold hand painted detail. It supposedly originated from the family of a former employee of Brucks that saved this promotional piece that preceded the start of WWII. It's awesome to look at and possibly one of the scarce few that survived the war.
Two cool vintage no-hit tickets:
A scarce ticket stub to Bob Keegan's no-hitter at CWS in 1957. I've seen two of these ever surface in the hobby.
A full, unused ticket to Cub's hurler Milt Pappas' no-hitter in 1972. Pappas came within one strike of a perfect game before walking the last batter with two outs in the 9th. Ouch! So close...
This is the 1st full ticket to this game that I have ever seen, FWIW.
