WOW! Amazing items, Mike and Greg!

Clint...

The Helmet is Tony Perez' with original Reds Gift Shop Letter, stating it is one of three that he wore during the 1975 season and through the World Series. Epic season, if you're a Reds Fan.

The Cleats are Perez' from his second stint as a Red (1984-86)

The 1B Mitt is Perez' (circa 1980-82, with Boston)

The Black Glove was Joe Morgan's, with a Provenance Letter from former Umpire, Eric Gregg. Pretty amazing how small the Little Joe Glove is... and with leather softer than a baby's behind!

Getting back on-topic...

Here is the earliest-known Baseball Bagatelle Game (Nash), plus another super rare one. The "Pin the Ball on the Bat" Game features a cool image of LaJoie.

Great thread Mark, and great stuff guys!! Keep it coming.
We've discussed it before, but your Waghter's game is ridiculous Mark!
I've always loved that game! One of the most visually stunning 19th century games in my opinion.

Don't hate me guys, it's not baseball, but here's some hockey examples from my collection ranging from the 1930s - 1940s.

New old stock 1927 Psychic Bas Ball game with all scorecards and instructions present. The cards still have cellophane on them. Apparently they had Psychic Base Ball tournaments across the country as Lou Gehrig is pictured congratulating a winner.

Thanks for starting this thread, Mark -- possibly our favorite (inevitably) in our seven years on board here!
Gotta say we really like your Wachter's (and we don't say that to many guys ).

Really enviable pieces shown by everyone so far!
Greg -- is there any way we could prevail upon you to scan the inside and back pages of the Ty Cobb rule book for us?
Bob -- Kollmorgen's nephew and the son of You Pitch creator Ken Cook both contributed some background info
about those games at our own Forum.
Brent -- we've never seen the little blue-and-red game seen at the lower right of your hockey display. Could you give us
a little more information about it?

Our own collections have more quantity than quality, and at least two other guys on board here have game collections
the quality of which dwarfs ours -- but since it's so rare in here that we have any excuse to show off our stuff,
and before those other guys chime in with exceptionally hard acts to follow and make us look like pikers,
here are just a few of our favorites, with several more not present due to us not having decent photos of them...
hope nobody minds...
