I've been getting rid of my modern cards and picking up pre '70 baseball stuff.
this came today.I really like the stat sheet that came with it.

Nice Pontiac, had a 61 Impala, miss it more than any card.

Did it have a 348 in it?

307 when I got it, tried to find a 348 or 409, but settled for an LT1 350.

Nothing wrong with a smallblock!

Got rid of the split drive shaft and carrier bearing and have a custom built drive shaft made. swapped the 2 speed power glide for a turbo 350, mounted washer resivoirs in the trunk for bleach/ water on the rear tires, spark plugs and propane injection the the exhaust, 6 foot flames. Navy days were fun.

Any chance you a picture of it?

I'm extremely stoked to get this latest photo. It's been a long time since I've added anything like this to my prewar collection.

Clint - what's the story behind the photo?

Congrats again Clint! That's a keeper...however I may have to pry it away from you if that is indeed William Jennings Bryan there. ;)

"Gentlemen, your ancestors were not monkeys I tell you"

The photo I won off of ebay. As for the game I know Johnson made a few trips back to Kansas for exhibition games. I have rppcs from a game in Humboldt and also probably from this same game in Coffeyville. I strongly believe that William Jennings Bryan is standing between Cheney and Johnson. At the Coffeyville museum they have 4-5 postcards from this game. Larry Cheney and Ad Brennan were from Kansas like Johnson. Not sure why the games were held other than to celebrate the players. Here's a few of the rppcs I was talking about. They also had a loving cup at the museum that was presented to Johnson full of silver dollars given by the crowd. Seems like that cup was much bigger than the one in the photo. Looks like I need to make another trip to Coffeyville.

Thanks Dan, I need to do some more research and I will get back with you on that.:)

That may be an answerable question depending on what can be seen from a hi-res of the head in question and what can be found in newspaper articles.

I haven't historically collected Tickets though I do have a few for milestone acheivements (i.e. recent 500 Home Run or 3000 Hit games). On a whim picked up MLB Debut tickets for Mike Trout and Bryce Harper as well as a ticket from Harper's 1st Major League Home Run. Probably limited upside but if these guys end up being as good as they look at this point, maybe I'll have something!

Anyone else grabbing these? I think I paid $3 for the Trout ticket...about $8 each for the Harper's...

Original Photo pick ups
 

June has been a very good month for me. I picked up these photos in the last three weeks. I love the 1929 Hack Wilson. It is now one of my favorite images in my photo collection. The 1933 Hornsby is the same image used on his 1933 Goudey card. The 1956 Alston is my first Barney Stein picture. The three Max Carey photos are from 1926 (with Wilbert Robinson), 1932, and 1926. The 1932 image is from the Cullen Cain NL Service Bureau. It is unusual to me as it is on a thicker photo stock and has a dull finish. The two Dimaggio’s are from 1944 and 1949. The action photo was a father’s day gift from my daughter. The 1944 image is interesting because the lady in the photo was the consignor. It is on thick stock similiar to studio photos from that time. The final image is of Hank Aaron being carried off the field following his 1957 pennant clinching homerun. I took a beating in the Henry Yee auction, I only obtained the 1930’s Klein image I posted on that thread. These others certainly took some of the sting out. Thanks for indulging me.

Mike

Mike,

That Hack Wilson shot is KILLER! Well done.

Graig

Extremely rare picture of Thomas Moonlight. Moonlight was an Indian fighter, farmer, Civil War hero, pioneer in Kansas baseball, Kansas politician, Wyoming Territorial Governor and Bolivian Diplomat. Moonlight chased Quantrill's raiders, teamed with famed mountain scout Jim Bridger, lead in the formation of the first baseball club in Kansas (1867) , pardoned the Sundance Kid as Wyoming Governor and was appointed Bolivian Diplomat by President Grover Cleveland.

This little bio doesn't do justice to what this guy experienced. It must have been amazing to have seen what he did.

1882 baseball cup from Wyandotte County in Kansas.

1914 Federal League Game Ball
 

My only acquisition this month was a 1914 Federal League game ball. I love it already.

Well done Clint! That is a beautiful trophy! I wanted it really bad but didn't bid due to the fact of no international shipping and i thought it might go a bit higher.

Very nice, Clint...

I was the under-bidder to you. The last few months, I have perfected the art of finishing second :(

But very glad you got it- especially with the Kansas connection. Its a spectacular item, and I'm glad it found its proper home.

Many congrats!

Loved it also clint. Almost pulled the trigger. Great pickup on the cup.

federal league
 

Congrats on a great pick-up. What a wonderful piece of federal league memorabilia. Very few federal league balls have survived, especially one with that kind of info on it.

bf2 display
 

Here is my bf2 display incorporating all my premiums with my set of smaller pennants. Sorry for the poor quality of the picture.

Man.. I just love those pennants.. SO COOL!

Matty...

Spectacular Display wall.... one of the best I've ever seen :cool:

Congrats!!

I'd love to have that ball. August 3rd is my birthday.

While not a big rowing fan (one two month involvement in a team of eight was enough for me), I did pick up this 1923 album of photos of the Vancouver Rowing Club

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8143/7...22373f7c_c.jpg

Thanks Dan, Mark and Kevin. Glad you guys didn't bid or bid higher :) . I thought it would go much higher too. I've found some info on the Rosedale AOW and the # matches up and they were chartered in 1880. Surprisingly heavy piece to.

Garden city Billiard table co litho
 

I picked up this 32x48" 1891 litho of The Garden City Billiard Table Company. It was a previously unknown image which was owned by one family for 70+ years. The Chicago based company was formed in 1880 and sold out to Brunswick in 1893. The piece is a little rough in spots but since it looks like it's a one of a kind I guess I can't complain. I can't wait to get it reframed and hang it in the pool room.

Wow! That's really cool!

Spectacular graphics... I bet Carlton goes gaga over that one! :eek:

Ran across these in a Cubs photo collection and thought I'd post to see if anyone recognizes these proud Cubs fans? I have absolutely no idea when the photo was taken...

<img src="http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll13/thecatspajamas99/L-/21/CubsFans223.jpg">

Wow Clint! That is one terrific artifact! And the detail is quite superb. Craftsmanship that even 130 years later would stand up to today's artisans.

And Mark. I've got the feeling your going to break your runner-up streak come July 10th. ;)

I completely concur with the others, Matty. Good taste + a good eye = a killer display!

Wow
 

Was lucky enough to find this last weekend at the flea market.

Gehrig pics
 

In the aftermath of the Yee auction, I was still on a spree and picked up these as well.
I have to say these Beckett cases are HUMONGOUS! There is no doubt they'll protect the pics. I'm not sure if they're bulletproof or not, but it wouldn't surprise me.
I'm debating cracking them out cause they take up sooo much room.

Just watch your toes if you drop one!

This is the first photo I have picked up in a while. Type 1 of Hank Greenberg from Opening Day, April 15th 1947.

Andrew,
That is an awesome pic. I love pics of ball players with kids.
Very nice pickup.
Mark

Thanks Mark,

I like them also and would love to see the original photo for this card surface one day also.

Andrew that is cool as well.
This is my favorite. It's not a new pickup, but it is one of my favorite pics of all.
They will need to pry it from my cold dead hands.

Lou Gehrig with Christy Walsh's son 1927

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...styWalshJr.jpg

Mark,

Very nice photo. FYI the kid in the Greenberg photo is Len Merullo's son Boots.Merullo has four sons. His eldest son is nicknamed "Boots" because on the day he was born, Merullo famously made four errors in a single inning having been informed by the club's owner, Philip Wrigley, that his wife had gone into labor.

This piece is from the recent legendary auction. I've long wanted one of these, and when the bb cards I was bidding on (I am mostly a card collector) went past my $$ limit, I went for this piece, which will serve as a centerpiece for my collection of bb cards of the players on the 1924 W. S. Champion Senators team.

Sweet pickup, Val!
