You just reminded me that I should pick up an 1800's frame to put the photo in.

I was surfing Astros stuff on ebay during the World Series when I spotted the following item - a program from the first game I ever went to, even scored (Marichal threw a complete extra-inning game). What are the odds? Marichal threw 25 complete games that year, 3 were extra innings. This one went 11 but the scorer gave up after 10.

Not worth a lot of money but I really liked the way this newspaper looks with Cy Young from 1904.

Just won some bunting from the World Series games played in Houston. This was similar to buying furniture for a room, as I felt it was necessary for my man-cave and would rather have this on the wall than any piece of furniture I can think of. How's that for rationalizing? I further rationalized that I needed two of them...

Love it!! It's funny how we "rationalize" our purchases in this hobby!

Awesome! I always liked how the Astros programs featured the visiting teams as well.

Another trinket but I couldn't resist this Spring Training snap shot of Murtaugh

I was hoping that Jennings would stay cheap so my opening bid would hold up, but glad you won it, its one of his best photos I have ever seen and was a good deal. The stuff I really want ends tonight so now I have some extra money to work with!

Congrats

Rhys

Thanks Rhys,

I thought it was going to go for actually quite a bit more than it did. But I was like I'll toss out one more bid and then go to bed and ended up surprised that it held. lol.

I'm interested in seeing it since the photo is mounted on board in seems like its almost postcard size. I'm not a huge collector of 19th century stuff but when things pop up that seem interesting I'll pull the trigger. So now I have this and my 1885 Chicago White Stockings imperial cabinet.

Good luck with your stuff tonight.

Take care,
Brad

Nice pickup Michael.

Looks like your cooper item was used to create 1906 PC792 Embossed "Batter & Catcher" Baseball Postcard.
