Thanks Dan - it's good to get some positive reinforcement on purchases every now and then.

And back at you - that Wheat RPPC has got to be worth as much as most of the rest of the scrapbook. Very nice pick-up.

Default Vandy and Benny Borgmann- Interesting bio- take a minute to read!

I just picked up this sweet circa 1938 vintage signed photo of Johnny Vander Meer and Basketball HOF'er Benny Borgmann. Vandy and Borgmann both hailed from the same area in NJ and apparently knew each other quite well.

This photo originated from the personal estate of Benny Borgmann who starred in professional basketball and also played for many years as a baseball middle infielder and manager in the minor leagues.

Borgmann was also a pro basketball player and original Celtic, leading the American Basketball League in scoring 4 times (1926-1927, 1928-1929, 1929-1930, 1930-1931). He was elected to the Naismith Hall of Fame in 1961 Borgmann passed away in November, 1978
Here is Borgmann's bio from Baseball Resference for anyone that cares to look.

Bernhard "Benny" Borgmann
Bats Right, Throws Right
Height 5' 8", Weight 170 lb.
Born November 22, 1898 in Haledon, NJ USA
Died November 11, 1978 in Pompton Plains, NJ USA

Infielder Benny Borgmann played and managed in the minors and scouted. He starred in basketball. He hit .304 and scored 1,015 runs as a player.

He was a minor league player from 1928 to 1942. He debuted with the Wilkes-Barre Barons, hitting .308/~.385/.345 and fielded .932 as a shortstop. In 1929, he played for the Pittsfield Hillies and hit .264/~.339/.325. He tied Arlie Pond for third in the Eastern League in stolen bases (27). He fielded .971 when playing third base, second-best in the EL.

In 1930, Benny hit .292 for Pittsfield and .370 for the Harrisburg Senators. Back with Wilkes-Barre in 1931, the 34-year-old hit .263 while playing second base. Borgmann was back at short in 1932 with the Greensboro Patriots. He batted .321 and led the Piedmont League in runs (122 in 123 games) and steals (51).

Borgmann split 1933 between the Columbus Red Birds (.340/~.401/.390, 28 SB in 90 games; third in the American Association in steals) and the Rochester Red Wings (.341/~.420/.409 in 30 games). He stole 35 bases and scored 89 runs while playing in arguably the top two minor leagues of the era.

Borgmann played all of 1934 with Rochester and hit .279/~.325/.358 with 86 runs and 18 steals, playing second base and third base alongside Johnny Mize. In 1935, the veteran became a player-manager for the Huntington Red Birds and hit .307 with 92 runs. The 38-year-old stole 35 bases to lead the Middle Atlantic League.

In 1936, he hit .314, scored 90 runs and swiped 26 bases for Huntington. With the 1937 Portsmouth Red Birds, Benny hit .348, scored 114 runs and stole 22 bases. He guided Portsmouth to the 1938 MAL title, scoring 101 times in 117 runs and hitting .315/~.374/.386.

Borgmann also managed the 1939 Sacramento Solons to a title, but his playing performance fell at age 42, only hitting .231 in 58 games. He did not play in 1940, only managing Sacramento, but was back in the field for 2 games in 1941 (0 for 5 for the Syracuse Chiefs) and for 63 games for the 1942 Allentown Wings (.258).

Overall, Benny played 1,438 games in the minors, collecting 1,671 hits and 1,015 runs while stealing 284 bases. Never a slugger, he only cracked 11 homers. His average was .304.
He managed in the minors from 1935 to 1950. He scouted for the St. Louis Cardinals, Minnesota Twins ( -1968), Seattle Pilots (1969), Milwaukee Brewers (1970-1971), and Oakland A's (1972-1974).

Default Sal "The Barber" Maglie no-hitter celebration photo

Another cool October pickup.
Here is a neat original photo of Sal "The Barber" Maglie being carried off the field by youthful HOF'er Don Drysdale and Ray Campanella during the celebration following Maglie's no-hitter in September, 1956.

Default Football

This weekend's finds...

- Large 1903 football pennant. Sadly, the felt "0" has fallen off over time.
- Cover of the Canadian Illustrated News from 1874 featuring a woodcut of the
famous international match between the Harvard and McGill football teams.

Default Original 1923 Yankee Stadium Seat

Just completed the restoration on this Original Yankee Stadium seat I acquired a couple months back. This was my first time restoring a stadium seat and I am very happy with how it turned out! All wood and screws are original and I also left the screws unpainted so you can see their age. Custom built a home plate to mount it to for added support. Thanks to Al for the advice during this project!

Default Three interesting images

Images related to these can be found on the website in the caption below.

#1. A classic baseball albumen photo from the 1860 era shows a purely Americana scene: the schoolhouse, the watchful gaze of the adults, and children playing. A boy about to pitch a ball to another holding a bat is seen in the center of the photo. Behind them a group of girls joins hands in a circle. To the right of the batter are two boys wrestling. A group of girls adjacent to them plays croquet with a teacher.

#2. This 1908 program honors the boys from the 1878 Boston Red Stockings, "The Men Who Made The Game." Featured on the cover are baseball legend and Hall of Famer Harry Wright along with Jack Burdock, John Morrill, Harry's Hall of Fame brother George Wright, Ezra Sutton, Pop Snyder, Tommy Bond, Harry Schafer, Hall of Famer Jim O'Rourke, Jack Manning, and Andy Leonard. The program was issued for a September 24, 1908 game of "Professionals" that included Albert Spalding, George Wright, Jim O'Rourke and Tommy McCarthy against "Amateurs" that included catchers mask inventor Frederick Thayer and James Tyng, who wore the first mask.

#3. BUT THEY LOST! The 1911 New York Giants news photo proclaiming Hall of Famers Christy Mathewson, John McGraw, Rube Marquard and the rest of the team "World's Champions" is significant because they lost the World Series that year to the Philadelphia Athletics 4 games to 2. "The New York Baseball Team, winners of the National League pennant. This picture is sent [to] you for use should they win the world's championship," reads the typewritten notation on the reverse.

Never post in the memorabilia side, but picked up the On-Deck circle from the final game/season of Tiger Stadium. Probably overpaid, however, I don't know how to even put a value on it.

 photo 1894 Bull Durham Bx_zps7sgwsfts.jpg

 photo s-l1600 5_zpsteheajor.jpg

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_D...ckwell_Company
Picked up this Bull Durham sign the other day...never seen one before...has the printer and date 1894, which is invaluable...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_D...ckwell_Company
Bull Durham advertising represents the most expansive, revolutionary advertising campaign of its time. The Blackwell Company spent more money to advertise Bull Durham than any other company on any product. Large advertising campaigns at the time were considered to be extremely risky and fruitless in meriting more sales. Bull Durham ads proved this theory wrong, however, as the various campaigns became some of the most successful of the time and paved the way to modern day advertising.

Default Johnny Vander Meer consecutive no-hit innings streak ends at 21 1/3 innings

I recently managed to fill yet another hole in my Vandy collection want list that I have been looking for. I just picked up a neatly scored program and Grandstand ticket to the end of Vandy's consecutive no-hit inning streak in 1938.

After pitching his historic ML record back-to back no-hitters on June 11th and June 15th in 1938, Vander Meer and the Reds continued their road trip and boarded a train to Boston to play the Boston Bee's.

On June 19th, 1938, in the 1st game of a doubleheader, Vander Meer continued his historic no-hit streak. Facing the same team that he faced in his 1st no-hitter, he didn't allow a hit for another 3 1/3 innings until Debs Garms stroked a clean single to finally break it up. Ironically, Debs Garms was held out of Vandy's 1st no-hitter game on June 11th because he was a left handed hitter.

Vander Meer and the Reds prevailed in what was a decidedly lopsided game 14-1 over the Bee's.

Hey guys, I just picked it up from clean sweep. They did ship very fast. It came in a padded envelope and I was disappointed it wasn't in a cardboard box which would not have cost more. Big smile when it was opened to undamaged! Very happy!

Default My ongoing Maine player collection

Picked up this awesome 1925 photo of a semi-pro team from Rockland, Maine.

Back row, second player from left is George Francis "Squanto" Wilson, who appeared in 1 game for Boston and 5 games for Detroit in his major league career. Not sure about the other players, I will have to do some research. There is some writing on the back, listing the players, but it is kind of hard to read.

I think I just filled a very tough hole in my Maine collection.

If anyone recognizes other players, feel free to let me know.

I think I just filled a very tough hole in my Maine collection.

If anyone recognizes other players, feel free to let me know.
It is an old picture so one of them has to be Joe Jackson.

Time travel must be real because the guy in the back row with the headband sure looks like a young Joe Mantegna.

On a serious note that is a great addition to your Maine player collection.

Hahaha. I don't even know what Joe Jackson looks like. I would probably look right past him in an old photo.

Nothing really big, but I have a game used baseball from Phil Niekro's 250th career win. I have been searching for a ticket or a stub from that game for a while now. I happened to find a lot of 25 stubs from the game on Ebay.

Nice pickup, Sean. What do you know about George "Squanto" Wilson? Native American? Or did teammates just think he looked NA enough to give him a NA nickname?

I think I read (in SABR?) that he was not a Native American, but he got that nickname at Bowdoin or something like that.
But he was from Old Town, Maine, and there is a high population of Penobscots there, so maybe? I have no idea.

Picked up this Yogi Berra 1949 GU All Star bat. By far the best pick up I've ever had.

Nice pickup Ron!!!

Been a little bored with the hobby lately so started buying bats of six players that I enjoyed watching when I was a kid... Recently added this cool Ellis Burks, and a monster Mo Vaughn
