I love flea markets:

Not a new purchase, but a new find. These were packed away and forgot about 20 years ago. I thought I was opening up a box of misc baseball cards and turns out I had some early 70's bobble heads and also several early 70's 7/11 slurpee baseball cups. Here's the bobble heads.

a few from Henry Yee
 

Pics now in hand officially count as pickups.

I know it isn't pre war, but it is still pretty cool. Did some research on the pic. Dated 5/67 against Cubs at Shea. Mets played Cubs at Shea on 4/20/67. No games at Shea against Cubs in May. Seaver's first start was 4/13 against Pirates at Shea. So this pic dates from Seaver's second ever ML start on 4/20.

I got this reprint copy of the 1927 Yanks Team from Spring Training off of ebay. It's not a high value item, but it is significant for me.
It shows one of the ST team pics from 1927.
This matches exactly with the team pic I got in the group of 1927 ST snapshots I picked up earlier this month.
First pic is the new one. Second pic is a close up of snapshot. Third is high res pic of same snap.
You can see the pic is almost exact, except for some hand placements and the angle of the photograph.

I do think this proves the pics are from 1927. I also think I might have a very rare snapshot. Has anyone else ever seen a team picture snapshot?
The guy must have been lucky enough to be there on the same day.

These are also now in hand. Looking forward to the next auction!

The guy on the right looks like he just watched Billy Buckner try to field a grounder!

Mark V- who is that old timer in the photo with Gehrig? Thank you.

I have a guess: is it Bobby Lowe (another four homers in one game guy)?

Barry,
That is exactly correct.

This the write up from the Hyee auction

A Vintage 1932 ORIGINAL Photograph issued by the Detroit News depicting New York Yankees star Lou Gehrig with old-timer, Bobby Lowe of the Boston Beaneaters. RARE 5” x 6” period photograph taken when Gehrig’s Yankees were in Detroit where Lowe lived and the Detroit News took the opportunity to take this photograph of the pair. Lowe was the 1st player ever to hit 4 home runs in one game (on May 30, 1894, doing it in consecutive at-bats). A few days ago, Gehrig became the 1st American League player to accomplish the feat.

That's a great photo Mark. I assumed it was taken shortly after Lou's big day.

Original Negative -- 1955 night game Briggs Stadium

Anthony,
I love this shot of Briggs (Tiger) Stadium. Very cool- congrats!

Great shot of Briggs
 

Here is Nevins (Briggs) (Tiger) Stadium I thought you might like to see. Love the old stadium pictures.

Thanks Scott, I really like the shot too. It really feels like your sitting in the park.

Also, Dynarl great photo of the field and players. I'm wondering, is the guy walking in the stands wearing a tall white hat a vendor?

Here are a couple of other original negatives that I have of the stadium both from their 1940 AL Championship season

First is a regular day game, I like how the sun is coming in and the sweet hats on the fellas.

Second, is a shot from behind the plate during Game 3 of the World Series vs. the Cincinnati Reds

Picked up a late 1930s game used glove that belonged to Whitey Hilcher. 1931-36 Reds, and then a few years before the war in the PCL. Has part of his nameon the back were he stenciled it on.


Collecting Goldsmith equiptment, I filled a big gap by getting a Goldsmith brand glove that was game used. Here are some pics, cant wait for this one to arrive.

More great photos. Yes that is a vendor in the white hat. D.

Nice, I thought it was but I wasn't totally sure. I'd sure hate having him standing on front of me throughout the game but it's probably better than having a pole obstruct my view for an entire 9 innings :eek:

I figured the pope decided to catch a ballgame :eek:
