Default March pickups

I'll kick off the March pickup thread with an original Underwood and Underwood 3 photo pitching sequence of Johnny Vander Meer from June 23rd, 1938 at the Polo Grounds following his back-to-back no-hitters. I love the vintage signage in the background!

This technically arrived in February. After a 3-4 year hiatus from the hobby, I was very happy to get this. Ball from Barry Larkin's first MLB hit....

Default March pickup

Driving home from Boston, the GF and I stopped at a baseball card shop in Portland, where I found this cool ticket from Joe D's last game.
I don't usually buy tickets, but hey, it goes with my Joe DiMaggio collection.

Nice ticket!
BTW, Joe D's last regular season homerun was on September 28, 1951 at NYY. The ticket from the Double Header on 9/28/51 is also for Allie Reynolds' 2nd no hitter in 1951 in case you ever look for it...

Thanks! I will keep that in mind, if I run across one. I don't normally collect tickets, but now that I have one...

Blurry pic, but Joe Tinker owned photos. One of which he wrote "The Tinker home". A half Joe Tinker autograph I guess haha. Not sure how to make the photos larger (via my iPhone).

Default Mirror holder

Could not believe this was on eBay. It is from 1898 and in remarkable condition with no condition issues to speak of. I do not know if the mirror is original ( I doubt that it is) and I believe that it is missing a piece that somehow affixed the mirror to the base in the shape of a base.

1920's 5x7




2015 Game used uniform patch. Worn by Seattle MAriner Wei-Chung Wang. Really wanted a Yankee jersey, but ones I found were more than I wanted to spend.

I will be liberating the photo from the slab soon, as the description is wrong(Photo is dated 1930 on back) and I don't like the look. Does anyone know if Pec12 can remove the black from around Lou's head or any other way to remove it safely beside a professional conservator?

It has been a while since I had a decent vintage pickup, but I've strung a few together recently...


And while not vintage, I was excited to add these two within a couple of weeks of each other. Bobby Murcer's 1983 (final season) Yankees BP jersey, as well as that of the man who replaced him on the 25 man roster.

Default 1955 Roy McMillan Home Jersey

For Crosley Field Era Reds guy, this is just about as good as it gets. This is a very tough style (home or road) to begin with. Now consider the player. Prior to Frank Robinson showing up in 1956, Klu and McMillan were the fan favorites at Findlay and Western. Because of the way Klu had his sleeves cut, his 1955 gamers (a home and road exist in the hobby), his uniforms are without the "Mr. Red" patch on the left sleeve.

A number of the Redlegs of this period get overlooked or considered "inflated stars" due to the All Star Ballot Box stuffing of 1956 and 1957, but many considered McMillan to be the best infielder in the majors at the time (See Tom Meany article; Collier's Magazine May 27th, 1955).

Roy won the first Gold Glove presented to a major league shortstop in 1957 (only one award per position that year) and then took the NL honors in 1958 and 1959.

Dave love that patch. Possibly the best patch ever made. Have you ever found any patches by themselves?

Default 1955 McMillan

Bob,

Thanks and, not surprising, I would have to agree with you.

Clint, I have never seen a legitimate one of these patches off the jersey. There are some modern replicas and some "new old stock patches", but those were never for the jerseys.

I only know of two other McMillan Reds jerseys out there; a 1956 road and a 1958 road. I have also seen Milwaukee Braves and Mets (players and coach) offering as well..

I like the oddball stuff, too. Pitcher Joe Gibbon's luggage tag, circa 1966-69.

Default March pick ups

Was able to get 2 vintage photos which were purchased directly from Charles Thomas' estate (the African American catcher made mention of in Ken Burn's Baseball and potentially influential in Rickey's eventual integration) approx. 20 years ago. The first is of the 1901 Zanesville football team, and the 2nd is of the 1903 Ohio Wesleyan team. Both will be for eventual sale

Picked up this Yankee Boy Tin. Have been looking to pick up one of these for a couple of years. Seems like they are really starting to go up.

Default Inaugural 1952 Pony League World Series Program

The 1952 Pony League World Series was held at Washington, Pa.
The program is not particularly fancy as it is in black and white; but quite significant because it represents the first Pony League WS.

There were two players on the first Pony World Series championship team that would later play in the big leagues.

Trivia question:

Who was the winning pitcher and the only other player on that 1952 inaugural Pony League World Series Championship team to play in the Major Leagues?

I'll mail the winning pitcher's signed Topps RC to the 1st member correctly answering the trivia question

Joe Horlen and Mike White. Give the card to a local kid and tell him about some history. I love programs like this and collect tons of Minnesota related items like this. Take care. Jason

Duluth Eskimo got the correct answer. I thought Mike White would be a name that would stump net54 members -- but Jason knew the answer right away. (

Below is a team pic showing the eventual '52 Pony WS champs in Washington, Pa. Not sure which one is Mike White (6th from left, maybe). Joe Horlen is about the smallest guy on the team, wearing a warm-up jacket. Immediately after this pic was taken, Horlen tossed a nifty shutout as San Antonio, Tx defeated San Bernardino, Ca for his 1st of 2 wins in the WS.

Rudy Davalos, Jr was also on this team. Eventually, Davalos became a very successful Athletic Director at the Univ. of New Mexico following several coaching stints, including the NBA Spurs.

Default Pre-1945 Wrigley Field Flag

Wonderful Wrigley Field flag that dates to after 1938 but before 1945 based on the number of red stars. Over the years I have seen these come to auction on a couple of occasions, but both of those examples had 16 red stars which dates them to after 1945.
