Phenomenal pick up Bob! Fantastic piece! I was unaware of a complete version of this sign. The two I was aware of were both trimmed. Congrats on the addition :)

Love that Bob. What hof players does it show/name? Beautiful
|
Thanks
Thank you all
Ben, it includes Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, Frank Baker, Nap Lajoie, Chief Bender, Ed Walsh, and Roger Bresnahan. It basically has anybody who is anybody for the time period it was created (Circa 1910's as was answered correctly on an earlier post) with the exception of Joe Jackson. |
Very nice! I remember when REA had one, it caused quite a stir on Net54. Congrats!

It made me think of scenes in Field of Dreams where the guys were taking fielding and batting practice. |

Great items as usual guys, keep them coming. Been a good month for me some nice autos, Mantle items and this 1919 Babe Ruth Sheet Music. Thanks to a fellow board member Dan Mc. in helping me acquire it. Large, 9 X 12, period image of Ruth in his Red Sox uniform showing off his mighty swing ! Really like this image.

Probably won't be able to keep these too long, but they caught my eye and I like them a lot.
1. Really neat Shoeless Joe Jackson fan letter. Great Material. https://sportscardalbum.com/c/239u672f.jpg https://sportscardalbum.com/c/s9zmuncu.jpg https://sportscardalbum.com/c/skyrz7xf.jpg 2.

I like that Jackson fan letter. I read recently that (as it's commonly known) his wife signed almost all of his signature needs except a few, but that she did teach him how to sign by tracing over his name that she signed. My fantasy is that when she got sick for awhile, that he actually signed some requests himself and that I and some other unknowing collectors actually have his signature...hey, I said it's a fantasy. LOL

Large 1891 Cornell rowing photograph by C.H. Howes.
The photo was taken June 25th, 1891, in New London, CT, when Cornell brakes the world record for an eight-oared 3-mile race with a time of 14 minutes 27½ seconds. The photo has some condition issues, which I will need to address to best preserve, but a very rare original photograph of an historically dominant crew.

Picked up a ton of sports publications from the 1920s-60s (including about 30 Husker football programs mostly from the 30s and 40s) at a local auction tonight. Also got a very cool 1930 champions baseball trophy along with charms from the same championship. Got the guy's baseball bat too, a Spalding 200 Hand Turned model.

During the late 19th Century and early 20th, rowing was a very popular spectator sport, and coverage of big races would be front page news nationally.
1915 IRA Regatta (won by Cornell). Scrapbook page with Observation Train Tickets and Photos. Fans lined the Hudson River, in Poughkeepsie NY, and those with tickets could ride the observation train that ran alongside the shore during the race, keeping pace with the boats over the 4 mile course. (last photo, not part of scrapbook, is a stock image, but shows what the train looked like). Attachment 278141 Attachment 278142 Attachment 278143 Attachment 278144 Attachment 278145 |
Just happened to notice that the above photos were taken exactly 102 years ago to the day.....
