Wow! Amazing condition.

Maybe one of the detectives here will save you a trip to the CPL.....

Dave,
I would look for a photo featuring this piece in the Reds yearbook from the next year as a starting point.

[Dave Grob]

Have already looked in the 1953 and 1954 Yearbooks as well as the News of Reds from 1953. My sensing is this is more of civic (town) or organizational (company) effort as opposed to one organized by the 1953 Cincinnati Redlegs. Also no mention of anything in the Sporting News or for the 1953 entries in Rhodes & Snyder "Redleg Journal."

Couldn't resist this 7" X 33" sweeping panorama of Redland Field (later to be known as Crosley Field).

Now the difficult task of clearing out wall space

[perezfan]

This one was a bit easier to squeeze in. Always wanted one of these pins, but they're tough to find (issued to Cubs Players and team personnel only). This one belonged to the Batboy...

Ps. Dave... Fantastic Klu Banner!

AWESOME!!! Great pickup! Congrats!

[slidekellyslide]

I snagged an original Hartland Dick Groat at an antique mall today for a whopping $20...no bat, tag or box, but who can argue with that price? Also got a nifty 1958 cereal box and baseball tips premiums from Ryan C. He got them in Cuba more than a decade back.

Great pickup Mark! I love that one. I agree, finding wall space for the bigger items always is a challenge!

[david_l]

Really nice Cincy items!

[ksfarmboy]

Great stuff guys!

[Lordstan]

I am soooooo excited to add this. It's a early Christmas present from the wife. This has been on my wish list for a number of years, but haven't come across one that I liked or didn't have the money for at the time. The stars finally aligned and it is mine. This is the best one I have ever seen. Thanks to Mike for making it available.

The provenance that accompanies it and the boldness of signature really set it apart as being exceptional and a perfect fit for my personal collection. The fact that Goldsmith's base of operations was in Cincinnati is an additional bonus.

Many thanks to net54's Chris Gamble for offering it to me. Friendships are what make the collecting hobby special and fun.

That is a great ball Scott. Congrats

It's a beauty. Perfect sig, Mark!

Probably the most excited about this pickup than any before. 1911 Pirates Season ticket book with a few tickets left including Cy Young's Last Win!

Phil,
Cy Young's last win # 511. That's awesome!
Congrats on that pickup!

[pherbener]

Thanks Scott!

Game # 68 or Game # 69 in the season ticket book?

[pherbener]

Scott,
Based on the original schedule, it would be game 68.

That's really terrific. I don't think that I've ever seen another ticket to his last win. So cool!

[pherbener]

No, me either. I also thought it was cool that it was issued to Elmer Steele, a pitcher for them who was released on September 16th after throwing a towel in Fred Clarke's face. That's probably why the tickets remained. He got picked up by Brooklyn.

[slidekellyslide]

Great pickup Paul.

[Lordstan]

Paul,
I am not a ticket guy, but getting Young's last win is pretty damn cool. Congrats
Mark

[bobfreedman]

Great Pick-up Paul, very historical and it crosses many interests!

[pherbener]

Thanks guys!

[Shoeless Moe]

Paul

Outstanding!

[JoeyFarino]

1947 Yogi Berra

[slidekellyslide]

I have tried to obtain this poster 3 or 4 times over the last few years since it first showed up but always got outsniped on ebay, or outbid in an auction house.

I think it found its forever home.

[Scott Garner]

Nice pickups Dan & Joey!
Joey, that babyfaced Yogi photo is awesome!

Nice Yogi Joey! Looks so young!


Great pickup Dan!

[MartyFromCANADA]

Picked up the '23 Senators team photo. Features Walter Johnson.
My reason for picking it up?, only photo of George Gibson in a Washington uni I've ever seen.

[slidekellyslide]

Picked up a lot of 10 Native American baseball player and team photos

[matty39]

Second item this month for my federal league collection.

[ValKehl]

Marty, that 1923 Senators team photo is a nice pickup! I never knew that George Gibson was a coach with the Senators for that one year. FYI, I collect type cards, and I prefer to have Senators' players/coaches for my types. A couple of my tougher type cards are of Gibson, and now I will no longer look to replace them.

Was very happy to win this.

Rob, very nice cdv! I was going to bid on that lot just because of this one. It reminds me of some of the player outfits and stances in the 1865 Creighton woodcut.

[perezfan]

Agree..... A stunning, important and elegant Federal League image.

Congrats Bob, on another amazing pickup (but your wall-space must be getting extremely tight after all of this activity!)

[slidekellyslide]

Some sports pinbacks...anyone know what that Cal Abrams pinback is from?

Hey Dan, I've always wondered, I know you have a Nebraska connection with your long-time collecting focus but do you also have a Native American connection to it?

Rob M

[71buc]

I've always wanted one of these easel backed 1947 advertising signs from Louisville Slugger. I picked this one up very cheaply from the most recent Lelands auction.

I am 1/16th Native American. My great great grandmother was 100% Cherokee. I have never identified as NA though, nor would I have known if I hadn't found the papers and photos in my grandmother's stuff years ago.

That's not the reason I collect Native American baseball though. I just branched out from collecting the Nebraska Indians ball team memorabilia. All the research led me to want to expand.

Thanks for asking.

[JMEnglish27]

1959...so hard to turn up old wrestling and boxing magazines.

Love the pre-1963 Kansas City Athletics. Still looking for a 1962 road jersey.
