July Pickups

[vintagesportflips]

Figured I would start the July pickups thread with an item that's been on my wantlist for about 12 years or so, and thanks to my dad hitting an estate auction early yesterday morning, my long hunt is over. It is a 1960 Black Faced Philadelphia Eagles nodder. I will probably never pick one up, but an Eagles Promo is the last nodder to cross of the want list.

Nice pickup!
Hopefully the estate sale brought it in cheaper then if it was done in hobby circles like a card show or auction house.

[Scott Garner]

Nice job, Kevin!

Thanks guys; I was very excited to cross that one off the want list.

Probably over paid but couldn't pass up this great item, hopefully he picks it up and has a good career.

But 2010 rookie game used bat by justin smoak. Bat is mlb hologramed and photo matched to being used to hit his FIRST CAREER HIT AND 1st CAREER HOMERUN.

I don’t normally make such purchases but I couldn’t resist picking up these two original March 14, 1910 Bain images of Myrtle Rowe. I have seen both of them in books and in documentaries but had never seen original versions until these arrived today. I did a bit of research and found this fun newspaper article on Myrtle Rowe that I thought I would share. The photo of her hitting is mounted to a piece cardboard stamped Culver. The other has the Bain stamping with the above mentioned date. I would like to remove the mount but don’t want to risk damaging the picture. Has anyone here ever successfully removed such a photo from a mount like this?

My first MLB flannel!! Vern Stephens, from 1948-52. No apparent alterations. This thing is HUGE! I put an XL t-shirt on top of it to show relative size. I'm only 5'8", but he was listed 5'10", and when I hold this up to my shoulders, it reaches my knees.

Ken,
Very nice Flannel.

BTW, It's OK to admit to those being your toes. No one here will think of you any differently.

Sorry guys, I posted this on the wrong July pick up thread.

My newest Gehrig items.
I got these in a big trade. I had to give up a photo that I really loved. I hated to do it, but it was worth it.

1924 Lou Gehrig type 1.



1927 Yankees infield type 1

Sensational photos Mark. The Gehrig is awesome. Here's my recent p/u. Another tobacco companion piece.

[Lordstan]

Thanks Tony.
I like your new tobacco stuff as well. Very cool looking. That type of stuff makes for really neat looking displays.

Picked up these early oversize college pennants. Normal 12x30 pennant is in the pictures for scale. The Princeton one is 17" x 47" w/out the tassels as is the Xavier. The tiger head looks incredible The South Dakota is 17" x 59" w/out the tassels. The ladies grandmother worked at the factory where they were made and was able to keep them. Not really sure if they were available to general public to purchase or not. Mike

Wow Mike...

Fantastic detail on that Tiger. Must look even more impressive and imposing in person. Beautiful Pennants and incredible condition... congrats!

I'm sure I overpaid, but really couldn't resist this one. It's Dan Banhead's WWII discharge certificate. Not only is it signed, but has his thumbprint! For someone who collects Negro Leaguers and WWII players, this was an obvious "like."
