Pie Traynor KQV Radio card/photo

Don't know if this should be here or in the Post war card section. May try to post in both.

Anyone ever seen this? NEAT!

BTW, I contacted Bob Lemke and he said: "No, that's one I have not encountered. I certainly would have added it to the catalog "back in the day."

Jackson and Gehrig

Beautiful photos Bob. I had that Joe Jackson in my hands for a short period of time but will remember it forever, its a REALLY beautiful image and dated 1919 no less!

Rhys

Joe, the Blues piece looks nice framed.

Anyone ever run across one of these? I thought the photo was just as interesting for the other pictured pieces of memorabilia pictured that are popular nowadays, and was delighted to spot what looks to be a George Burke standee of Zarilla in his mid-to-late-40's Browns uniform sitting on the table to his right, something I overlooked when I first spied the photo. Lots to see in this one :cool:

Cool Photo. I like the lamp with the Rittger statues mounted to the base. The photo reminds of me of a recent group of folk art baseball pieces I picked up - although not the same or as nice as the ones shown in your photo, figured worth showing. They are a group of folk art pieces all composed of Ford Frick team signed baseballs from circa 1948-49. A lot of the signatures are very faded, and some of the balls are tough to identify, but I liked the folk art look to them.

from Clean Sweep - George Schuba 1953 Brooklyn Dodger Ring (they lost to who else, the Yankees in the World Series that year).

This one just arrived in the mail yesterday, a double bonus in my eyes. A legitimate, original Negro League photo purchased on e-bay and also a truly rare career contemporary collectible of Effa Manley, I only know of two others in the hobby.

The seller did not have the ID for the Newark Eagles player. I have not done much research yet but believe it to be either Calvin Israel or Fran Mathews. Any opinions on that one?

I wanted that one badly. I am happy that a fellow board member got it. It is an exquisite photo, unfortunately I had burned through my budget earlier in the month. If you ever decide to move it please let me know.

Awesome pickup, Phil. I saw that too, but figured it would end up too high for me. Had a feeling you were in on it. Congrats:D:D:D

Salada CFL sheet Joe Kapp

Picked up a few more Wheats. Never had seen this ad before, I didn't know he advertised for Mail Pouch.
