July Pickups

[Dave Grob]

Not a Giants fan per say, but how do pass on something like this? I just couldn't.

[YankeeFan]

Very nice! Is that from when they won the NL pennant in 1962? Hanging in Candlestick during the World Series?

[Mark70Z]

Dave,

I'm really not a Giants fan, but that bunting is very cool. I especially like that the Giants are noted since most of them are just the team colors or some variation of the colors.

[Dave Grob]

Still looking into the dating, but first blush is early 1960s. This would have included the opening of Candlestick (1960), an All Star Game (1961), and a World Series (1962). Not claiming it's from any of those at this time as now the real fun starts...and I mean that with all sincerity.

Hi Dave-

I AM a Giants collector and have a similar banner (pics attached). As you can see by the label on my banner, it was produced by the Paramount Flag Co. I have several smaller flags (including the one sewed onto the middle of your banner). I would guess your entire flag is also a Paramount product. Is it marked? I did some ebay deals, years ago, with a former employee of Paramount. He included some nice documentation with the things I bought and I was able to call him when I got the big bunting. He confirmed that mine has the early 1960's labeling. The labeling apparently changed through the years.

I have never been able to connect my bunting to a specific time and place. Please let me know if your research produces any "hits." Seeing your jersey pickups, I have to think you are better at research than I am.

Rob,

Love your bunting. While our designs are similar, yours appears to be in line what they decked Candlestick Park out in on Opening Day 1960. You may want to look for other images of that event to see what you might see.

My flag was manufactured by Emerson Flag MFG. CO (of San Francisco). They opened for business around 1909.

Babe Ruth Ticket and program

[Dewey]

Picked up a few baseball kids theme.


Cecil Haley. 1939 "negro mascot" hired to help snap Giant losing streak. The only way a black person wore a major league uniform in those days, sadly. 8 more years to wait. Found this interesting write up on Cecil.

Then a pic that reminds me of my youth.

[YankeeFan]

Babe Ruth Ticket and program
Wow Tony! Great pickup. To obtain either one would be exciting...to get both together is awesome. Congrats!

Giants mascot
Dewey - I love the enthusiasm evident on the face and body language of Giants mascot. Quite a contrast to the other young fellow!

[eastonfalcon19]

Won this Charlie Gehringer Hanna Batrite bat.

[JoeDfan]

Got this cool photo of University of Maine coach Wilkie Clark; circa 1920's. Looks original, and was clearly pasted into a scrapbook before I got it.

Before he was the coach of UMaine, Clark played all over the minors. In 1906, he played for the Scranton Miners, hitting .262. A good average, but not as good as .336, belonging to their leading hitter, Archibald "Moonlight" Graham.

[bobfreedman]

This is a large piece (50" x 38") and in absolute mint condition (no restoration either).

[khkco4bls]

Bob that piece is fantastic. .

[ksfarmboy]

Wow that's great Bob!

[perezfan]

Phenomenal. How could it survive like that?

Insanely beautiful graphics... Congrats!

Browsed around today at a flea market. Saw nothing special, but grabbed these for practically free ($6). The postcard pictures an old Yankee Stadium. Maybe an expert can assist me with a date of this card type.
The dual cookie package I tried looking up, but could not find anything with an exact match of box markings. Mine is marked "Baseball Card & $5 Coupon Inside", and has quiz #10 on the reverse. The only mention of date is referenced with cookie shapes and art work copyright 1989. I'm tempted to open a box to see the cookies and card. Maybe there's a cookie expert out there.



Top, Bottom, and side panels

[vintagesportscollector]

The postcard is mid to late 1930s. No idea on the cookies.

[Jantz]

Someone knew how much I like baseball and thought of me when they found this snapshot of Ron Fairly in their grandmother's possessions. So here is my (once in a great while) memorabilia pickup thread contribution.

[Topnotchsy]

Picked up this Ted Williams signed lineup card. Still looking for lineup cards signed by managers who are in the HOF or were significant figures in baseball history.

edit: Why don't my pictures ever work?

[mjkm90]

Added another from this Cubs set I love and am working on

I cannot be certain on the card age but almost certain that the image dates from 1928 - simply because an original photo used for the image was auctioned a few years ago and had stamps / dates to confirm it was a 1928 image.

[GrayGhost]

Maybe for sale soon. never saw this. AL golden anniversary comm rubber ball

[DeanH3]

Stumbled across these today. I don't know much about them, but they are in great shape and thought they were pretty cool. These are from the 50's, correct? I also assume they are pretty plentiful. Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

[GrayGhost]

yes, but be careful. those have been reprinted. if orig, cool stuff
