Thought that I would start off the new month with this one, a 1982 Pre-Rookie Type I Press Photo of the latest BB HOF inductee, Barry Larkin.........

I got these. Im an Army football Collector, so I thought they were pretty cool. Dont know too much about them, but I think they are pre-1940. The three piece probably much earlier.

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.

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:

Mark- Don't get me wrong, I do love looking at the photos and appreciate when they are posted. Nice Program.

Rick- Wow. Great pick up to say the least. The book was a good price without the signatures.

Actually, the reason I used those examples is because the face is not fully visible. The seller wasn't sure it was him as the player in the picture appears right handed.
