Another signed book I lucked out finding. Pretty cool IMO. May be for sale soon:)

Sorry pics came out squiggly...:p

I just picked up this Claude Berry. Interesting that he says he caught the game for the Seals when they played the longest game on the West Coast against the Oaks, Oaks win 1 to 0. From what I can find, that game was on June 4th, 1916, and he wasn't with either club then. Am I looking at the right game? Anybody know something I don't? I'm not really a big autograph collector, but I thought it was a cool addition to my PCL collection.

Handful of pickups from here, there, and everywhere:

The Variety of stuff people get is fantastic :)

From a few google queries I did, appears that 24 inning game was June 8, 1909, and Berry was on SF then.

On June 8, at Oakland’s Freeman Park, Henley pitched the longest shutout in PCL history, besting Jimmy Wiggs 1-0 in 24 innings.

Ah, thanks! I was looking at the game that was part of a double header that ended up going 28 innings between the two games. One also ended 1-0, except with Oaks winning. So it was Henley that he was trying to write on this card. It looked like he wrote Hemming, and that was really messing me up.

October pick up
 

I was very happy to pick up my first 2 vintage playing day Cobb sigs today at the post office. From the research I have done, it appears that the letter and cut were obtained between 1905-1915 (with an educated guess, leaning closer to circa 1910-1914). The manager of the hotel listed on the stationary worked at the Brunswick from the mid-1890's until 1914 when he retired, and passed away in 1915. On the PSA site, the full name cobb sig compares favorably to the 1912 exemplar. I will most likely keep the cut for myself, and sell the letter to another collector to help finance the purchase.

I have enjoyed digging into the history both of Cobb and the Brunswick Hotel in the process (A little did you know...In the early 20's when Mickey Cochrane was still at Boston U., he worked across the street from the Brunswick cleaning dishes, and would see the Yankees and other major leaguers sitting on the Brunswick hotel steps. In the book The Hall, he was quoted as saying,"See those lucky stiffs on the Brunswick steps?...some day I am going to sit over there and look over here and watch other guys washing cups and saucers, knives, and forks. Yes, sir. I have made up my mind I am going to be a big leaguer myself."

Those Cobbs are absolutely exquisite.

I think it says '24 inning game', not Henley or Hemming (though the 4 does look like an H somewhat).

Glad I was able to provide some small assistance.

Even better! I thought it said G Hemming. You really can read 1909!

Been a good month, Just added a really nice James Lavender and Hippo Vaughn for my 1916 Cubs autograph set. Even more importantly, I just bought oneof the nicest space items Ive ever seen. a Gemini litho signed by 13 ofthe 16 Gemini astronauts including Neil Armstrong, Ed White, Gus Grissom, John Young, Charles Conrad, etc. 6 moonwalkers and 2/3rds of the Apollo 1 crew that we re killed. I'm going to had Richard Gordon to it next week at Space Rendezvous and hopefully get James McDivitt at space fest in June. This was featured on Pawn Stars and Rick got a hell of a deal for it. I did nearly as good

The astronaut piece looks like the one on Pawn Stars, the episode with the Senator's chair.
