Scott --

That's a great item -- I don't know where you keep coming up with this stuff!

Greg

Here's my contribution -- two items I picked up at a small flea market this weekend -- coincidentally both cost $18.

1951 Canadian American League ball signed by the 1951 Oneonta Red Sox.

Old printer's tray -- great for displaying pinbacks -- I'm already starting to fill it up with some of my pinbacks that I hadn't been able to display before.

And this empty box that held a dozen Bob Feller baseballs -- bought it awhile ago, but haven't shown it until now.

Picked up a several photos
 

1) TWO ORIGINAL, CHILDHOOD TYPE 1 PHOTOS OF DUKE SNIDER FROM HIS ESTATE. They fit nicely with my Mantle, Williams, FELLER and BABE(later printed-20S).

2) BABE RUTH TYPE 1 PHOTO OF 1918 WS, GAME 1. Ruth pitched this game. This series was the last one Boston Won for many years as we all know(HENCE-THE CURSE OF RUTH).
This had a bunch of black press ink/paint that came right off and matted out to this(just over 5x7). I am VERY happy with the result. I am not sure if I have seen an original of this other than this copy so VERY happy that it cleaned up! A great piece of history that I wil now protect:)

WIKIPEDIA:
"Game 1 of the 1918 World Series marked the first time "The Star Spangled Banner" was performed at a major league game. During the seventh inning stretch, the band began playing the song due to the fact the country was involved in World War I. The song would be named the national anthem of the United States in 1931, and during World War II its playing would become a regular pregame feature of baseball games and other sporting events. The winning pitcher of Game 1 was none other than Babe Ruth, who pitched a shutout.

1918 would be the last Red Sox World Series Championship until 2004. The drought of 86 years was often attributed to the Curse of the Bambino. The alleged curse came to be when the Red Sox traded the superbly talented but troublesome Babe Ruth (who was instrumental in their 1918 victory) to the New York Yankees for cash after the 1919 season."

PS: LOVE THE DUDE IN THE BACK LOOKING ON.

I posted them elsewhere on here - but here are two things I just got ...

the programs + ticket stubs are from the last game at the polo grounds

I had a nice example of this pin that I traded to Mark (perezfan) a year or so ago. I've always loved the form and couldn't pass up the terrific BIN price on ebay :D

Flint Rhem, Frisch and an "unidentified Giant" according to the auction description. Looks like Ross Youngs to me, same photo used for his W503 where he is mis-id'd as Pep Young.

Thanks Greg! Purely luck and good timing.

I know that this is off topic and I apologize. It seems that since I started collecting baseball photos my eyes have been drawn to images of historical figures that I occasionally find more fun to look at. Growing up Latino I heard stories of Villa and the Revolution from relatives. I find him fascinating and was thrilled to pick up this original 1914 8X10 Pathe News photo. I have always thought this was the quintessential (iconic?) image of him. Thanks for looking there is no one else in my immediate circle who understands my collecting affliction and I felt the need to share:o

Cobb Sporting News Supplement
 

Picked up this low grade (trimmed) Cobby for under $35... Happy to add another one to the collection! It's amazing what a frame and matt can do for a piece...

1930 H&B Famous Sluggers Yearbook -- photos inside are amazing.

Christy Mathewson Player Model Glove
 

:D

That’s a terrific Matty, Greg! Only the second full-web Mathewson I’ve ever heard of being found, so right off the bat, it’s one of the two oldest Matty’s out there. On top of that, it’s in tremendous condition. What a wonderful find! Please tell us more about how you acquired it.

Sweet Matty glove Greg!

Wow Greg.
I'm not a glove guy, but that Matty is great.
Congrats.

Incredible items!

Thank you also to those who commented on my track shoe thread. I did not want to bump it but I did not get a chance to say thanks.

Below are some photos I recently found at a paper show. It looks like the photographer had close access to the Giants at spring training in 1936.

They were originally glued back to back on scrapbook paper. Luckily, there was no writing on the scrapbook paper, and it was very thick, so I was able to separate them. I only hurt two photos (tore corners off) but am quite pleased I was able to do it.

More photos and a cool ticket stub
 

Here are the rest of the photos.

Also, I got this ticket stub from the 1915 Red Sox home opener at my favorite flea market a couple of weeks ago.

Wow Alan, those photos are awesome. :eek:

The photographer seems like they were pretty good with a camera. When I see snapshots from that era they are usually blurry or out of focus.

No flea markets around here ever have that kind of stuff. Hope u didn't steal it too bad:)
