If anyone has any Harold Buckwalter memorabilia, I would be very interested for purchasing it for my friend.

great Teddy piece Max!

[Ladder7]

Sadly, these are still in mint condition...

[perezfan]

I've heard Williams quoted as saying he didn't receive a penny for that "endorsement". I guess the condoms were obviously unauthorized. Can you imagine that today... an image of A-Rod or Jeter (perhaps just a smidge different), and with no actual endorsement. A great example of how times have changed!

[carrigansghost]

Damn Steve, you think they come with the Splendid Splinters?

Here's a pretty little pin from Heritage's April auction which just went live for Internet bidding:

Earl can't be happy about that

[Heritage Sports]

Here's another cool Red Sox piece in the current Heritage auction (though I'll always think of The Rocket as a Yankee! ) The mourning band is for Tony Conigliaro.

PS: Just kidding about the Clemens is a Yankee thing--just a fun little jab. I know it's years played that counts, not World Championships won.

[Ladder7]

Bosox fans would rather he be considered a Yankee. Feel free to delete that jersey

Picked up this 1939 Red Sox ticket stub from a fellow board member, is there a way I can find out what game it was?

[Ladder7]

1909 p/c; Newly paved Huntington Ave, the Green Line tracks and Boston Opera House. Also, showing the HAG's centerfield wall.

[docpatlv]

Don't think this has been shown yet...

[sox1903wschamp]

Since we revived this thread, here is a 10' Scorecard that I had recently won in a battle of hand to hand combat.

[sox1903wschamp]

Also, picked up a Yaz lot that included a run of his cards. Was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the cards. Here are most of the regular issue sixties.

But the best thing I liked in the lot and maybe the most worthless was this patch which I think is cool.

Also included an autograph photo personalized to me right after 1967 when I was 7. Then as a rebel 8 year old, I tore it in half in a fit of anger at my parents . This photo is now priceless to me

[Ladder7]

Gettin itchy for April?.. Thanx Toby

[thekingofclout]

and since I don't have any new Red Sox pieces to share, I'd thought I'd post Ben's (ForeverYoung) incredible "Teddy" Williams childhood portrait he won in the Bill Mastro auction.

How sweet is this!

Two are souvenir hats from the 1967 World Series. and the other is a display poster/schedule from the 1966 season(see pictures below). You can view them at our auction site at: www.insidetheparkcollectibles.com

Steve,
I have seen similar.
Last year I posted some of Gehrig looking for some help to ID them. The border is different but has similar overall styling.

I am doing this mostly to keep the thread alive and see what other people have. I haven't really been doing this for too long but do love old pennants, this is the extent of my collection, so far. On a related note I would consider trading for or buying some older red sox or patriots pennants if anyone has any available. (1946 red sox, batting sock)

[BoSox1908]

Just picked this up from another board member, wondering if any of the
collectors here can help me out with any info on it?

Thanks....

[Ladder7]

Nice. I think the double socks came out in the late 50's. before that it was a single sock. Is there a tiny union bug along the edge? Anything on the back?

Just learned something new. In the 1931 season, they had a sock logo on the cap. Just '31. Gotta get me one of these!

[TheSquire]

1939 Rookie in civilians. Was given to a personal friend of Ted and the only one in existence.

Great pickup Steve. Those are awesome shots of Fenway.

I picked up this 16 WS stub to go with the photo from the same game. Almost like I was there

[Ladder7]

Thankx Michael,

Those are terrific Braves items. Wish they were still playing here in beantown.

Also, my pc may be from your game as well,

Nice pickup Steve, I was patiently waiting for those as well. Glad you got them - I would have been happy with just one of the lot.

Mostly because Steve brought this thread up to the top of the stack....

I posted this in the December pickups. This is a tough dated Boston Americans ticket from 1909. Boston's (P) Smoky Joe Wood vs. Detroit's (P) George Mullen. Smoky Joe beat Wabash George in his career year in which he won 29 games. In spite of Detroit losing, the Tigers clinched the AL on September 30, 1909 sending Ty Cobb and the Bengals to their 3rd straight World Series. This was Cobb's last trip to the World Series.

This is a Red Sox award made by Balfour that I'm listing on eBay tonight

This is the first time I have come across this thread. Wow there are very impressive items here. Allow me to share my own two favorite Red Sox pieces. The first picture contains items that are of little significance in terms of value other than the memories they bring back to me. In 1970 at age seven my father took me to see my first game at Fenway. Needless to say I was hooked. When people ask me how long I have been collecting I always show them this picture of me with the pennant and pins that remain in my collection. He bought me those items that day and I will cherish them always. The fact that I managed to hold onto them for 41 years speaks volumes of the impact that my father and that day had on me. The other is a Fisk a payroll check. I realized early in life that my own meager baseball talents would never generate such a check with my own name on it.

And if the Babe looks familiar in that image, it's because it was made from this photo.

For all of you Boston Red Sox fans, here are tickets to early no-hitter games that the Bosox won:

George "Rube" Foster- June 21, 1916- 1st no-hitter at Fenway Park!

Mel Parnell- July 14, 1956

Earl Wilson- June 26, 1962

Bill Monbouquette- August 1, 1962 (at Chicago White Sox)

[Scott Garner]

More Boston Red Sox no-hitter tickets for you Bostons. These are all games that were pitched by the Red Sox in the last half century.

Trivia question: What catcher holds the record for most no-hitters caught in a career and how many?

Hideo Nomo (2nd) no-hitter- April 4, 2001 (At Baltimore)- Earliest date that a no-hitter was ever thrown in the season

Derek Lowe no-hitter- April 27, 2002

Devern Hansack- Unofficial 5-inning no-hitter- October 2, 2006*

Clay Buchholz no-hitter- September 1, 2007

Jon Lester no-hitter- May 19, 2008

[perezfan]

Scott:

Amazing array of No-Hit Tickets... you must have the best collection in existence! I don't mean to hijack the BoSox thread, but a quick diversion...

Do you have the Armando Galarraga Ticket from when he was "jobbed" a couple of years ago? I've been meaning to ask about this, and the Harvey Haddix game as well. Even though neither qualifies as a No-Hitter, it seems like they'd make interesting additions to your incredible collection.

Then again, if you tried to collect every "near" No-Hit stub, you'd probably go nuts.

Thanks!
Mark

Thanks Mark!

Yes, I actually do have both Harvey Haddix and Armando Galarraga's near perfect game. I'm sure that you're not shocked by this revelation.

BTW, I view what defines a no-hitter game differently than what the current philosophy is by MLB. I started collecting no-hitter tickets in 1972. What defined what was a no-hitter game when I began collecting was much different than the current parameters that went into effect in 1991. I collect tickets to any official ML game where a hit was not allowed. I have games that are shortened, unofficial no-hitters that the game ran less than 9 innings as well as no-hit games that the no-hitter was broken up in extra innings, ala Harvey Haddix, Mark Gardner, Pedro Martinez et al.

I actually do have the largest no-hitter ticket collection going by perhaps 40%. I know mostly all of the top collectors of this theme. I'm fortunate because many years of networking with other collectors has given me a great opportunity to add tickets that are scarce and new to the hobby.

You might be surprised that a have a smaller collection of tickets to no-hitter games that were lost in the 9th inning. The ultimate pitching frustration! What can I say, I'm a sick puppy!

Rather than post pictures of the Haddix and Galarraga near perfect game tickets here, I'll do it in another separate post so as to not clutter up the Boston thread. This will also give me an opportunity to post a few related items that I have not shown before to the Galarraga near perfect game.

As always, thanks for your interest!

[perezfan]

Thanks Scott! Looking forward to seeing your new thread. And I am absolutely shocked that you have those two! Well, not really...

Mike- Many of the things I collect, such as souvenir pins and pennants, are related to the fan and their cherished memories of a trip to the ballpark. I think it is great that you have a picture holding that pennant. I am sure you can't put a value on that.

Scott- Your no-hitter collection is amazing. I wondered if you have ever picked up any no-hit tickets that were not advertised as being no-hit games? I assume that some of these tickets were pulled out of scrap books and others might have been marked as no-hit games by the fan who was fortunate enough to attend the game.

Hi Adam,

Thanks! Yes, actually both of these scenarios are true.

The thing to keep in mind about early baseball tickets is that that most patrons attending games did not have dated tickets. Many teams, Yankees, Indians, Tigers, St. L Browns, Cardinals etc., etc. did not have dated early vintage tickets. Unless a ticket accompanied a scored, dated program or the fan wrote info re: the game on it, a collector like me has a difficult time locating early vintage games that you can pinpoint to a specific date.

Also, it's important to note that even the teams that did have a dated version of a baseball ticket, these were rare and reserved these only for season ticket holders (there were very few) and special dignitaries. Attendance in early baseball was frequently very low because night baseball did not yet exist and people worked during the day. Night baseball did not even begin until 1934 and very few teams had it for many years.

It was not uncommon for early games to have attendance in the 500-2000 range, when attendance was even reported at all in the newspaper. BTW, attendance reporting was very inconsistent at the turn of the 20th century and before. O/T- I have a collection of early baseball newspapers (over 120 early no-hit games) and I have noted this when I have read through the articles surrounding no-hitters....

As far as scrapbooks go, I will tell you that if it were not for scrapbooks, many older vintage baseball tickets would exist today. Several of my rarest older vintage baseball tickets came from fans that kept a scrapbook.
