awesome scoreboard Ron, where did you get it?

Thanks Joe. I actually got it from a local high school and the best part about it was that it was free all I had to do was pick it up.

Free? Wow. Very cool. It’s ironic….just yesterday my daughter had a soccer game at the field of a local middle school that was built in the 1960s (I would guess). At the back of the school was an old football scoreboard, not that different from your scoreboard, about the same size but maybe older. It clearly had not been used in decades, and football had not been played on that grass field for many years. A couple of the dads and I discussed that it would be cool if we could get and restore the scoreboard…..and here you got one for free. Congrats!

Thanks Joe. That is ironic and would be cool if you were able to restore it. It was perfect timing b/c they purchased a new scoreboard and they were going to cut this one up for the scrap pile.

Those lucky strike and tuxedo posters are beautiful. The scoreboard is such a cool item. I am trying to think what I would do with it. Basement wall or put up in back yard perhaps. Definitely needs illumination. Man thdtxwalter tuxedo is beautiful.

1913 Wags ticket
 
Just got this ticket. Honus Wagner's last two hits of 1913. Clinches .300 Batting Ave. for last time in his career. He went 0-3 the next day to drop his average to .300 and then didn't play in the final two games. I would imagine Fred Clarke sat him to keep that intact. Anyone else think that was the case??

Also just got this 1911 Police Gazette Matty. Didn't realize how big it was. Awesome! I put it next to my T3.

First pickup of the month and my last. Photo is Jackie's first steal after walking in his first at bat in 1947 world series. Baseball mag Dec 1947 cover image is of next play in the game: Pee Wee hitting into fielder's choice, Jackie out at third. Mag not in great shape, but I love the consecutive plays story that unites them. Pee Wee advanced to 2b. Would love a pic of him scoring.

P.s. that Tides jersey is GREAT.
