Thanks Mark! If you have never seen the Marathon beer sign up close, the green background is made of felt. I don't know if their other signs were made similarly or not but on a baseball themed sign it resembles freshly cut stadium grass

Derek, I am in awe of your Reggie pieces and am currently drooling on my keyboard.

Hey Derek, I owned both of those Reggie items at one time! If you ever want to let go of the Reggie bar piece let me know, that's one of the few pieces I've ever sold that I really miss.

[kid4hof03]

Thanks for the kind words guys. I will post a few more tonight, I've got a lot of Gary Carter ad posters and displays as well as a few more Staubach's.

Mine are pretty much easy to attain.

The Helmar is a recent pickup.



The Turkey Red and Egyptienne Straights are favorites of mine.



I couldn't resist the Pabst display since it went really cheap - no one wanted it - think I paid 24 bucks for it. And, again, another favorite - the Piedmont chair.



I had closeups of these on photo bucket - a real friend to collectors - so I'm gonna have to find another way to post in the future where a web doesn't "host" them.

This one is a 'double sided' die cut heavy stock cardboard and a favorite with the Yanks fans.

I've seen these a few times, but this one was especially pristine so the bidding was heavy - I remembering thinking I "paid too much for this!"





and here's a Helmar cardboard sign - the white doesn't "blue" with a black light, so we know it's earlier than the 50s.

Mike, the Knickerbocker sign is very cool.

Here are a few more of mine:

Mike, my jaw hit the floor when I saw that Yankees Knickerbockers Ad. Owning anything Knickerbockers related to the Yankees is a dream because they were both owned by the same owner, Col. Jacob Ruppert. Plus it looks to be in fantastic shape.

Enjoyed all of the items you pictured. Would love to see the room you have going on there. Looks really neat and organized (unlike my room). By the way, what color did you use for the walls? I have a grayish wall, but that looks even better.

Hiya Mark

I'm in the middle of finishing up a room in the back and then reorganizing the front office.

The back - waiting for the flooring to come in.







Instead of blinds, shutters painted the same as the wall is going it - so as not to distract from the shelving.

I don't have a lot of pics of the front office right now - it's really in a temporary state - I have GU bats and jerseys - and haven't decided what I'm going to do with them yet?



I checked the bottle of left over paint from the painter: it's Sherwin Williams Kaffee 6104 - it's a dark brown color; the back room is a dark beige color.

I've never seen the particular Marathon sign. When I saw the item it reminded me of a picture of Brooks from the '70 WS taken by Mort Tadder. It was the first WS played on artificial surface (astroturf) at the new Riverfront Stadium. The picture I took doesn't do it justice, but it has a cool looking background. Unsure why some of these pictures are sideways; sorry.
