November Pickups

[eastonfalcon19]

Picked up a monster Babe Ruth bat this morning. I always wanted one of these to display in my collection.

Went to the auction of a Nebraska football "booster of substance" today. Game used jerseys and team signed footballs! (Lawrence Phillips including his locker room placard from the 1995 National Title game, Broderick Thomas, Johnny Mitchell, and Steve Taylor shown) got a couple of other jerseys and lots of signed stuff too.

A scorecard for a February 20, 1927 California Winter League contest at the integrated ball grounds of White Sox Park in Los Angeles in which the Philadelphia Royal Giants, an African American team with six Negro League Hall of Famers -- Turkey Stearnes, Bullet Rogan, Willie Wells, Andy Cooper, Biz Mackey, Bill Foster -- beat Hall of Famer Kiki Cuyler and his Shell Oil team by a score of 3-1. See the website below for more Negro League material.

I got this billhead in the mail Friday from a very nice Net54 member who sent it out of the blue to me. (Thanks Dave!) It goes well with the other Lawlor's stuff I've been collecting over the years.

1991 Wally Joyner All Star bat
1990 Roberto Alomar game used bat. He ordered 12 of these on 11/20/90 and he used it when he arrived in Toronto, which explains the blue AL ink transfers.

"Wally World".....that's why maybe we should not be so fast to induct Trout into the HOF.....even though I do think he'll get there.

Picked this up recently out in PA. This is a smaller photo measuring 4 3/4 x 5 3/4, but I liked the contrast and subject matter. I really wish that 'back in the day', someone had written more info on the back.....it's blank.

I picked these up in Heritage last night

Wally Joyner - He was not on the 1991 All Star Team.
Only All Star appearance was 1986.

I know, right? Surely there isn't anymore than 1 out there besides mine.

It's been a while since I've added to my Tigers pin collection. I found this honey on eBay last night

[eastonfalcon19]

Negro League ticket...anybody know any history of this team and what year this ticket might be from?

[vansaad]

Picked up this Cobb check to his mother in the Heritage auction.

[btcarfagno]

Does this qualify as one of the stranger (but very cool) items posted in the pickup thread in a long time?



Billy Martin's jacket from some of the most famous commercials of all time.

Congrats Mike��. Real beauty. I'm glad you won it! I was watching it and thought of placing a bid (I have the Schoolboy Rowe) but decided not to put my hat in the ring at the last minute . Its going into a great Tiger pin-back collection! Adam

Picked up a couple of bats recently, the Miggy shows medium use. The Bench is from 1977 with nice use. The fact that the stampings are light meant I got it for less than half what others would cost.

Picked up this Walter Johnson game top and tokens at a local auction today. Nobody bid against me so I'm fairly certain I'm the only one there that knew what it was and that there were tokens inside the top.

Ever since I first saw one of these circa 1939 Johnny Vander Meer Goldsmith glove boxes in Carlton's epic pictorial of The National a few years ago, I've wanted one for my personal collection. The graphics and color really pop...

I finally pulled the trigger in today's Hunt Louisville Slugger Auction.
The box also comes with a very nice AG65 Vander Meer endorsed glove (correct right handed mitt for a lefty hurler) and custom acrylic case for display.

This will look great with my Vander Meer endorsed balls and 1939 Goldsmith catalogue featuring Vandy.
I'm a happy camper today. Another neat item off my holy grail list!

Dan,
Love the WaJo top game & tokens. Not having a second bidder is extra cool!
Congrats. When was this game produced? Just curious...

If a museum had a choice of 2 of the exact same 100 year old items and could only have one of this item and one was nicely restored and the other was in its original condition (with some wear to it, not new original condition) which would they choose? I think they would rather have the unrestored one in my opinion.
