Today's yard sale pick-ups! 1962 Signed Dodgers! Atlanta Crackers. etc.

This stuff is out of my realm of knowledge, (to new) but when I saw all the baseball goodies I just started grabbing . I believe most of this stuff was acquired by the gentleman himself at the time period...

I am not an autograph guy so I do not know if any of this stuff is authenticate? I am hoping to learn about what I have and see if I picked up something of real value? I see Koufax, Aaron, Niekro...? At the least, thought everyone would enjoy.

I will be posting more in the next few days as I go through it.

Here are a few of a Bunch of tickets....

Cool looking program with tons of signatures. Just FYI the ball is a machine stamped souvenir.

Autographs look great. Nice pickup

[smokelessjoe]

I was not sure if they were facsimiles or not? One question about the Balls... Do they stamp the leather before or after its made into a ball? Reason I ask is that I see ink on the threads....

What about this one?

[ATP]

Unfortunately that one is stamped as well.

Thanks everyone,

Jeff, thank you - I removed most of the scans of the balls - no need in a bunch of junk.

Here is a sampling of some Fulton High School football programs (over 40!) from the 1950s. I do not believe they have a lot of value but I love the Graphics....

Imagine going to a garage sale in January! Here is Wisconsin we are up to our asses in snow and we won't see a garage sale until late March.

Might be worth a trip to Atlanta just to go garage saleing. (Is that a word?)

Nice stuff. I love the Sands autographed thing.

Rob......hopefully our earlier successful transaction doesn't wind up in my name being added to your signature.....LOL.....just noticed that....I'm a schosh behind..........funny stuff

Agree with Rob on the facs balls......they are collectible. Generally in the $10-$40 range depending on team, condition, etc. Have seen them sell for more than that too.........

Love the high school FB program graphics too and the tickets are cool......

That's funny... You guys are right - I need to start looking at the Facs balls in a different light. Its just when I was a child we did not think twice about them and I guess that still lingers in my mind.

As far as cold.... Its quite cold for Ga. these days - Todays high is 32 & low
19, I cannot believe people are have yard sales or even estate sales for that matter. I have been hitting both and even though Estate sales are inside - attendance is way down. Some people have no choice though I guess...

I have a lot more to show - didn't just pick up baseball stuff either - I got many old covers, stamps, basketball & football cards that I think are 1969 & 70...

I will post as time allows, thanks for the comments everyone.
