You're very welcome. Sure does look a whole lot better displayed than in a box in my closet. So glad it went to someone who can appreciate and display the Musial piece.

Also, thanks for my request to post a picture; looks awesome!

[gregr2]

Thanks Mark. I love the look and surprisingly enough my wife thought it was awesome as well!

Perfect companion piece (2'x3') for my 1951 Durocher Giants home jersey.

Awesome! Good luck with your daughter's college search!

I have been waiting for a gamer from my favorite current Yankee, Brett Gardner. I finally got my chance last week when I made a deal for this one.
From the photo match, it appears that he used it to hit an inside the park home run. Even cooler is that the night before, he hit a grand slam, becoming the only MLB player to hit a GS and an ITPHR in back to back games (I think). So it is quite possible he used this bat for both (I think). I will have to do some more research before I call it though.
In any event, I am stoked to finally have my Gardner gamer!

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.

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

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

[Dave Grob]

Caps show up from time to time, but what I love most are the ball bag, whisk broom, and rosin bag as part of the grouping.
