August Pickups

Great collection of the "almost perfect game" Scott

[Runscott]

Sometimes no one gives you credit for being perfect

Just picked this up from a long time friend of Mark's. His minor league Modesto A's jersey.

Great items! I especially like the Almendares photo and the early baseballs.

The White Plains show was really good for my hall of fame collection as I needed both Carey and Robinson. The Carrigan/Stahl and Carrigan/Lannin were too nice to pass up.

Nice set of Shibe Park ribbon end seats. Pretty excited to add them to my stadium seat collection.

Awesome seats!

Thanks Brendan..you know Forbes field seats would look really nice next to them

Two cabinets I picked up at the National this year.

One is from Cuba, the other is from Celina, Ohio - a man named John Heidering is in the photo somewhere:

Spent too much at the Mariners game today.

Had a great time watching today's game with Luke and Mike, except for the part where the Rangers beat the living sh*t out of us.

Bought a game-used turn-back-the-clock Astros uni on the cheap, including the cap - everything fit perfect! Also stood in line for 3 innings to get the 1st shot at today's game-used balls, and picked up one that Cano hit for a double, Kendrys hit for a double, and they finally pulled it after a pitch to Seager in the dirt. Also got the line-up card from my birthday, and finally, a 1920's glove at my favorite antique shop prior to the game.

Here's me in full uni, fielding Cano's hit ball with the 1920's glove.

I realize that I look like a dork, but that's the point of wearing a 1970's Astros uniform!

[Runscott]

By the way, as fair warning, if any of you can't locate me at future card shows, you are BLIND!

That's classic Scott! It was a great day despite the thumping handed to the M's. This post is the perfect ending to it. Thanks for making me laugh.

[Runscott]

....removed. I thought this was kind of interesting, but guess I was wrong.

[71buc]

Randall great addition to your already impressive big Mac collection. Do you have the Tacoma jersey as well? I spent a lot of time watching him there.

[Runscott]

Picked up these two PCL baseballs yesterday. They each have a small amount of writing on them - one has a printed name and the other possibly a signature, both illegible.

Kind of a boring pickup, but all I can boast about as of late.

[UnVme7]

Scott, I believe the printed name is Roy Jackson, who was Prez of the league between 1974-78. That at least dates the ball, if that's in fact what it says.

Thanks, Nate - I think you are right.

Awesome pics Alan!

Thanks Mike, I know you got a great rookie HR ball of his! This Modesto jersey is only the second jersey of his I own actually. I don't think I have ever seen his Tacoma jersey. I have seen his Huntsville one though. I recently made a great connection and hope to be adding some more really cool stuff to my collection in the future!

SWEET McGwire uni!! Congrats Randall!

[MVSNYC]

Scott- that Bud Selig letter is very cool! That's pretty amazing he took the time to write you.
