February Pick-Ups

[Lordstan]

I got pneumonia. I'll recover, but it's a crappy way to start.

On the other hand, I did get this beautiful 8x10 or thereabouts pic of Gehrig and Ruth.
It was taken winter of 1927 in Nebraska, by Photographer Nathaniel Dewell.
He was most famous for his aerospace pics of air mail pilots from the 1920's

Below the pics is a page from a book the seller sent me describing the event. You can see the book references Ruth being presented with an egg. I think this is what the picture is depicting.

Excited for my Cobb signed check and Mrs. Cobb signed the back.

Just picked up this Hal Chase. I compared the Hal and it matched up pretty well though the Chase is a bit weird. It has paperwork as being from a Robert Edwards auction with Mike Gutierrez COA and ex Halper but that name worries me a bit. Still, I am kind of throwing caution to the wind here as it matches up with my Hal Chase Sporting News items I just got last month almost like I was meant to get this one. It even comes with the Original Hal Chase sporting news issue ad.

Sorry, Sean. That was a mistake.

No, Sean. I meant that IMHO that was not signed by Chase.

[milkit1]

david how can you tell? the hal matches very well with all "authenticated"ones and the only thing odd on the chase is the e at the end which is sort of capitalized. I know halper had a lot of forged items but this one seems an odd thing to forge. back in the 80s this wouldnt of had much value.

Awesome photo! You may want to check out Ebbets Field Flannels, they have very nice looking repro versions of the Larrupin' Lou's and Bustin' Babes hats featured in that photo on sale. They'd look great displayed next to it!

Great Hal Chase display. I haven't seen the postcard size "whatever became of Hal Chase". Is it blanked back? I have a larger size (about 11 x 17) poster of the same.

I really look forward to the monthly pick-up thread here but excuse me if I feel that the thread seems to be dominated by photos. Maybe we can have a seperate pick-up thread strictly for photos and another for everything else.

Very interesting. When I was doing research in Iowa, I came across this in a small-town museum (Pella), describing a famous day in their town's history, when Ruth and Meusel led two town teams against each other in 1922:
