Also, picked up a Yaz lot that included a run of his cards. Was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the cards. Here are most of the regular issue sixties.
But the best thing I liked in the lot and maybe the most worthless was this patch which I think is cool. Also included an autograph photo personalized to me right after 1967 when I was 7. Then as a rebel 8 year old, I tore it in half in a fit of anger at my parents :o. This photo is now priceless to me :) |

I am doing this mostly to keep the thread alive and see what other people have. I haven't really been doing this for too long but do love old pennants, this is the extent of my collection, so far. On a related note I would consider trading for or buying some older red sox or patriots pennants if anyone has any available. (1946 red sox, batting sock)

Just picked this up from another board member, wondering if any of the
collectors here can help me out with any info on it? Thanks.... |
Nice. I think the double socks came out in the late 50's. before that it was a single sock. Is there a tiny union bug along the edge? Anything on the back?
Just learned something new. In the 1931 season, they had a sock logo on the cap. Just '31. Gotta get me one of these! http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...1-red-sox-.jpg |

1909 Boston American's ticket stub
1 Attachment(s)
Mostly because Steve brought this thread up to the top of the stack....
I posted this in the December pickups. This is a tough dated Boston Americans ticket from 1909. Boston's (P) Smoky Joe Wood vs. Detroit's (P) George Mullen. Smoky Joe beat Wabash George in his career year in which he won 29 games. In spite of Detroit losing, the Tigers clinched the AL on September 30, 1909 sending Ty Cobb and the Bengals to their 3rd straight World Series. This was Cobb's last trip to the World Series. |

This is the first time I have come across this thread. Wow there are very impressive items here. Allow me to share my own two favorite Red Sox pieces. The first picture contains items that are of little significance in terms of value other than the memories they bring back to me. In 1970 at age seven my father took me to see my first game at Fenway. Needless to say I was hooked. When people ask me how long I have been collecting I always show them this picture of me with the pennant and pins that remain in my collection. He bought me those items that day and I will cherish them always. The fact that I managed to hold onto them for 41 years speaks volumes of the impact that my father and that day had on me. The other is a Fisk a payroll check. I realized early in life that my own meager baseball talents would never generate such a check with my own name on it.

George "Rube" Foster- June 21, 1916- 1st no-hitter at Fenway Park! Mel Parnell- July 14, 1956 Earl Wilson- June 26, 1962 Bill Monbouquette- August 1, 1962 (at Chicago White Sox) |

More Boston Red Sox no-hitter tickets for you Bostons. These are all games that were pitched by the Red Sox in the last half century.
Trivia question: What catcher holds the record for most no-hitters caught in a career and how many? Hideo Nomo (2nd) no-hitter- April 4, 2001 (At Baltimore)- Earliest date that a no-hitter was ever thrown in the season Derek Lowe no-hitter- April 27, 2002 Devern Hansack- Unofficial 5-inning no-hitter- October 2, 2006* Clay Buchholz no-hitter- September 1, 2007 Jon Lester no-hitter- May 19, 2008 |
Scott:
Amazing array of No-Hit Tickets... you must have the best collection in existence! I don't mean to hijack the BoSox thread, but a quick diversion... Do you have the Armando Galarraga Ticket from when he was "jobbed" a couple of years ago? I've been meaning to ask about this, and the Harvey Haddix game as well. Even though neither qualifies as a No-Hitter, it seems like they'd make interesting additions to your incredible collection. Then again, if you tried to collect every "near" No-Hit stub, you'd probably go nuts. :eek: Thanks! Mark |
Quote:
Yes, I actually do have both Harvey Haddix and Armando Galarraga's near perfect game. I'm sure that you're not shocked by this revelation. :rolleyes: BTW, I view what defines a no-hitter game differently than what the current philosophy is by MLB. I started collecting no-hitter tickets in 1972. What defined what was a no-hitter game when I began collecting was much different than the current parameters that went into effect in 1991. I collect tickets to any official ML game where a hit was not allowed. I have games that are shortened, unofficial no-hitters that the game ran less than 9 innings as well as no-hit games that the no-hitter was broken up in extra innings, ala Harvey Haddix, Mark Gardner, Pedro Martinez et al. I actually do have the largest no-hitter ticket collection going by perhaps 40%. I know mostly all of the top collectors of this theme. I'm fortunate because many years of networking with other collectors has given me a great opportunity to add tickets that are scarce and new to the hobby. You might be surprised that a have a smaller collection of tickets to no-hitter games that were lost in the 9th inning. The ultimate pitching frustration! What can I say, I'm a sick puppy! :p Rather than post pictures of the Haddix and Galarraga near perfect game tickets here, I'll do it in another separate post so as to not clutter up the Boston thread. This will also give me an opportunity to post a few related items that I have not shown before to the Galarraga near perfect game. As always, thanks for your interest! |
Thanks Scott! Looking forward to seeing your new thread. And I am absolutely shocked that you have those two! Well, not really...

Thanks! Yes, actually both of these scenarios are true. The thing to keep in mind about early baseball tickets is that that most patrons attending games did not have dated tickets. Many teams, Yankees, Indians, Tigers, St. L Browns, Cardinals etc., etc. did not have dated early vintage tickets. Unless a ticket accompanied a scored, dated program or the fan wrote info re: the game on it, a collector like me has a difficult time locating early vintage games that you can pinpoint to a specific date. Also, it's important to note that even the teams that did have a dated version of a baseball ticket, these were rare and reserved these only for season ticket holders (there were very few) and special dignitaries. Attendance in early baseball was frequently very low because night baseball did not yet exist and people worked during the day. Night baseball did not even begin until 1934 and very few teams had it for many years. It was not uncommon for early games to have attendance in the 500-2000 range, when attendance was even reported at all in the newspaper. BTW, attendance reporting was very inconsistent at the turn of the 20th century and before. O/T- I have a collection of early baseball newspapers (over 120 early no-hit games) and I have noted this when I have read through the articles surrounding no-hitters.... As far as scrapbooks go, I will tell you that if it were not for scrapbooks, many older vintage baseball tickets would exist today. Several of my rarest older vintage baseball tickets came from fans that kept a scrapbook. :cool: |

You are correct, with an asterisk after it. Varitek has actually caught 4 official no-hitters, plus the 5 inning, rain shortened, unofficial no-hitter pitched by Devern Hansack that I pictured in my thread. It's important to note that Varitek is the winner by a mile. The runners up, HOF'ers Ray Schalk and Yogi Berra, caught only 3 in their storied careers. Does that mean that Varitek is one of the greatest receivers ever? I would argue that he certainly can call a great game. It also gives you a glimpse into the depth of Boston Red Sox pitching over a decade in time and a fair amount of luck mixed in. Pretty neat stuff! When Varitek hangs up his spikes at some point, I plan on getting him to sign a ball with an inscription of how many no-hitters he ends up catching. It's certainly an unusual statistic that I'm sure that he is very proud of as a backstop. A lot of great catchers with HOF long careers have not been so lucky. Case in point, Carlton Fisk never caught one. Amazing! He was the receiver when Tom Seaver pitched his 300th win though.... |

Here is a 15 WS Program that I own from Game #4 that the Red Sox won 2-1. I put the back of the program up because the Sox look snazzy in those Stag Brand sweaters. Also, the stub pictured below is from the same game as the program. I wish I owned the stub but I was outbid for it in this past weeks Mile High Auction. It would have been a great companion piece to the program as I also have a nice type 1 action photo from the game. But I thought I would post the stub with the program because they really do belong togather :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------- This historic composite photo celebrates Babe Ruth as he broke Buck Freeman's single season record of 25 home runs, that he set 20 years earlier in 1899. The slug tells the whole story and is dated 9/9/1919. One other comment regarding this photo, is both images of Babe & Buck are TYPE 3 photos. They were pictures of a picture, developed, pasted side by side, and photographed one more time to create the end result. Extremely rare for the era. I would say that regardless of what TYPE this photo is, the historic content trumps all, and the value wouldn't really be affected. I've re-posted my 1915 Sox Pitchers TYPE 1 photo that was used for the Bambino's image, so you can compare the images of a TYPE 1 & TYPE 3 side by side.

Hey gang, Thanks for all the great images. Did you know there is also a Boston Nationals thread in here as well *crickets*?
These are from Dr Leander Powers collection. From his bio, he was some kinda guy! After graduating from medical school and serving his residencies, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and participated in the Invasion of Sicily with the 45th Infantry Division as a captain in the medical corps. He received several medals, including the Bronze Star and was mentioned by name in war correspondent Ernie Pyle's book, "Brave Men." As Pyle wrote, "These men lived a rough-and-tumble life. They slept on the ground, worked ghastly hours, were sometimes under fire, and handled a flow of wounded that would sicken and dishearten a person less immune to it. 1942 orig negs, Chicago Bears v the U.S. Army All-Stars for the war effort; http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/K.png http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/J.png http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/I.png http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/H.png http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/G.png http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/F.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/E.png http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/D.png http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/C.png http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/B.png http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/A.png http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...football/V.jpg |
Hey Steve, the mounts for the goalposts are still located under the third base line and could be used again if Fenway were to host a game. Not sure is the right field ones are still there.

Not a Red Sox collector, but recently picked up this photo of their manager, Bill Carrigan, taken in June of 1928 - not the greatest time to be a Boston fan.
From the time Babe Ruth left, the Red Sox didn't finish .500 again until 1935, so Carrigan had very little to do with it - they were actually worse both before he began managing them, AND got even worse after he left. He was a player-manager for them during three of their best years, just prior to the fall: 1914-1916 and Babe Ruth called him the best manager he ever played for. |
