December Pickups

While that Ruth signed snapshot pretty much ruined this thread for showing off purposes (nowhere to go but down from there!), I am happy to have added this Roush ball on the sorta-cheap.

Ken,
I beg to differ . I think your Roush baseball by any standard is a great pick up , especially one signed legibly in ink . The most common baseballs of his are , as you know, signed in Sharpie; so an ink one is a great and tough acquisition.

Thanks! I do like how it's not the typical sharpie, so I didn't mind as much the toning.

Not the greatest item, but an indy racing legend. I LOVE the authenticity . First, its dated, not seen in signature crop from 1979. and original owner has photo mounted a photo, likely from the signing. Bobby w the pile of books on table that he signed. This one was likely one of that day in 1979

Got this as a Christmas gift. Ichiro is one of my favorite players and I have not seen this particular SI signed that much. I see a lot more of the one with the Japanese Flag.

An appropriate item for a December pickup. This was signed 90 years ago on January 1, 1925. It is an RPPC of Frank Beaurepaire. He was a swimmer for Australia during the 1908, 1920 and 1924 Olympics. He won a silver and bronze medal in each of the games. He served in the Australia Defense Forces during WWI. He was gassed and suffered from trench fever before being sent home. In 1922 he rescued a shark attack victim near Sydney for which he received a gold medal from the Royal Humane Society. He founded two tyre (correct spelling for Aussies) companies and served as Lord Mayor of Melbourne 1940-42.

Got this one for Christmas from Jim Stinson. Want to eventually frame it with one or two of my Braddock type 1 photos.

Fantastic autographs!

What about Paul Pilgrim, Robert Leavitt, Fay Moulton, William Frank and Edward Glover? Do you have scans of these five, too?
I am ust curious!

I am very happy to show my newest signed 1934 Goudey. It's my first new one in 2 yrs. Thanks to Andrew for making this available to me.

I am now at 76/96 of the set.

Thanks Michael. I wish it would go a little faster.
Anybody have any they want to move?
