JULY pickups
 

As 71buc will attest, sometimes it's the seemingly mundane pickups that can make you happy. After 20 years (literally) of looking, I finally found the orange variation of "We're #1." The white and orange variation turns up on ebay maybe 4X a year.

Just picked up this 1989 Wade Boggs game used bat...

1996 Frank Thomas Game Used Bat...

2007 Tom Glavine Game Used Mets Bat-- MLB/Steiner Auth'd
2013 Adrian Beltre Game Used Bat

^^^^ how many bats do you own, anyway??? :eek:

Around a thousand, but I've sold a few here and there.

I actually bought these last weekend but I missed posting in June.

Patriotic painted bat (my guess is that it is a 1950s Adirondack based on the knob but am not sure)

Nice pickups, Alan!

We share the same illness my friend:D Great pick up!

1954 Sandy Koufax Scouting Report
 

Bill Zinser Brooklyn Dodgers scout who first discovered Sandy Koufax in May 1954 and invited him to Ebbets Field for tryout. Original scouting report filled out and dated by Bill Zinser…One of a kind item...

Koufax item
 

Wowser!

GREAT item. Congrats!

Koufax item
 

Thank you for your post…I appreciate it..
Phil

Seriously Phil, that's as cool an item as I've seen pertaining to the Bonus Baby.

It says "PLAYER should fill out this side." Are you sure Sandy didn't fill it out?

Koufax item
 

Graig and Rob thanks very much for your kind words. Rob,the scouting report was definitely filled out by Brooklyn Scout Bill Zinser. The item is pictured and described in (2) Sandy Koufax autobiographies . It is pictured in Jane Leavy's book and described in Edward Gruver …

1940 Crosley Field World Series Banner
 

To say I'm thrilled about this one is an understatement. Size is approximately 3'x5'. Colors are far more vibrant than the photo portrays.

Dave Grob

Beautiful and spectacular, Dave.

Never seen that version before... Tremendous pickup!

Agree! Nice one Dave! Looks like it's in great shape too!

1940 Crosley Field World Series Banner
 

Thanks.. There is also a version for the 1939 World Series that looks very similar but obviously only reads National League Champions 1939.

Just picked this one up...I like oddball pieces so this fits well with my collection.

Just came yesterday...

1979 Gary Carter H&B game used bat...

Carter
 

Very nice Carter bat!

Do you happen to have any Brooks Robinson GU'd bats? If so, would love to see the bat/s.

Thanks Mark!

Don't have any Brooks bats unfortunately.

Recently picked up this 1948 Negro League East All-Star Team photo, picturing HOF'ers, Monte Irvin & Buck Leonard along with possible future HOF'er, Minnie Minoso and Vic Harris along with several other minor stars..........

Great photo!

Picked up this cabinet of what I believe to be an integrated team a while back, but just got around to scanning it. Can anyone narrow down an estimated time period? I was thinking 20's?

I've had a few Yankee Stadium seats in the past, but had to sell for various reasons.

I've been wanting to get another for a couple of years now, and finally found one with a good combination of condition and price!
It's complete, solid, sturdy and has some chips here and there in the blue paint where the old green shows through.
The guy I bought this from showed me pictures of himself and his Dad at the last pre-renovation game on 9/30/1973, a game which I also attended with my Dad.
I'm very happy to have one of these again.

Steven - Given the uniform style, Cadet Collar, I would put it pre-1920, say closer to 1910-1915.

My collection has a new(well 3) Best items. My son's first 3 Little League Home Run Balls!! He hit them all out in the last 2 weeks of June. Not bad for 9!! Yes, I'm bragging!! Oh and I finally got my Matty("His Favorite Photo") from RMY.

Absolutely epic pickup, Phil! One of your best! :cool:

Beautiful Dave!
Great pickups for you recently- what a run of terrific Reds items for your collection!

Rawlings
 

Really like the Mantle Rawlings adv. Very cool item...

Early Wynn 300th win scored program
 

I recently picked up a tough scored program to HOF Early Wynn's 300th and final career win in 1963 at KC. Wynn was known to be a tough competitor during his great career, but his struggle to get the 300th win was epic, as he was stuck on 299 wins for several months spanning 9 starts and had to change teams in order to achieve his dream...
Wynn started his 20+ year career with the Washington Senators, but also played many years for the Chicago White Sox and a few with the Cleveland Indians.

Ted Williams was quoted as saying that Wynn "was the toughest pitcher that he ever faced". It was during Wynn’s early years with the Senators that he began to gain a reputation for meanness on the mound, exemplified by his willingness to knock down a batter if the occasion warranted. Among his famous quotes concerning this subject are: “A pitcher has to look at the hitter as his mortal enemy,” “A pitcher will never be a big winner until he hates hitters,” and “I’ve got a right to knock down anybody holding a bat.”
Classic!

Picked this one up this morning at a tag sale here in West haven ct...

Based on the height and weight it matches others that have come up for auction

The owner decided to add some writing to the bat, but it actually cleaned up nicely. Cool bat that will be available for sale or trade once I do some homework on it.

Can't seem to upload more than 1 photo at a time
 

Model m110

Just picked these up the other day....

Carty...

Warwick...

Picked up this Wilkes Spirit newspaper from 1863. The paper features boxscores of Gotham vs Stars and SB Iron Works vs Hydraulic. There are also a few articles on the Eckford baseball club of Brooklyn and Newark. Really interesting read.

Joe Dimaggio Chocolate Wrapper
 

Obviously Joe Dimaggio. Ive never seen this piece before.

Ooooooooooo...that is way cool.

Thanks Sean! I'd love to see the box these came in.

Great pick ups this month. I finally have a contribution to this thread. I have been looking for one of these for awhile. They were issued to the players and front office staff of the 1971 Pirates. I am still a long way from the 71 world series ring but I'm getting there.:o

Cool watch, I've never seen one.

I just made a trade with another collector and got these two tickets stubs.

First is Reggie Jackson's first career home run. This is the first time I've ever even seen one of these stubs.

Second is Mike Schmidt's 4 home run game in Wrigley Field. I collect 4 Home Run games and still need four more for the modern era players.

I might have overpaid but I couldn't resist this lot. Includes the supposed "merkle play" photo though Im sure its actually just a photo of the cubs and giants at homeplate from another game. Also has the original photo for a turkey red :)

Attachment 197455

Most of what you have posted are too small to see very well, but it appears that nearly all include the Cubs in unique to 1909 road uniforms at the Polo Grounds in it's 1909 state of contruction. However, in your array of really small images, 2 down and 3 to the right is a famous photo of a pre-game argument before the Merkle game replay on 10-8-1908.

Yeah I'm using the scan that the seller had. When I get them in hand I'll post better photos. Those 1909 cubs jerseys are my favorite all-time jerseys. Yeah that seems more likely to be the game. Pretty awesome to have a photo from it )

I'm also wondering if a couple of the action shots are from that game. I'll be able to tell better when I get them in hand

Love the watch. Congrats on the pickup.

Congrats Sean! I was one of the underbidder in this lot. Can't wait to see the close ups!

Thanks Gary! Im never really sure of value on type 1's so i am not sure if I overpaid but they seem pretty darn cool

Thanks its silly how such things still give me a thrill.

Fantastic pickup Scott!

Thanks Doug!

Mike,
Congrats on your 1971 Pirates watch pickup. Perfect for your collection. :)

Schedule
 

I had never seen this before but its a great little pick up, it is 17" x 30" (so nice a nice size). It is made of canvas and is in pristine condition. If anybody knows about these pieces I would love to hear more about them. Thanks

Always wanted one of these. 2013 main field home plate from yankee stadium. Yankees went 5-2 during a 7 game homestand. Some big things during this homestand included 2 walk off wins, 2 blown saves by Rivera, A-rod first homer of 2013, Miguel Cabrera 3 homeruns, Mike Trout several hits including a homer and Alfonso Soriano became only the third live ball ERA player to have back to back 6 plus RBI games. He ended up hitting 5 homers during this homestand.

Very cool, even if it is :rolleyes: D **gers. What size is it? I would love to have something like that for the Giants.

Monte Pearson 1939 Merry Christmas Happy New Year bat mechanical pencil
 

In 1938 the Yankees Monte Pearson became the 1st to throw a no-hitter in Yankee Stadium.
Here is a 1939 mechanical pencil shaped like a bat with Monte Pearson's facsimile autograph. Neat item off of eBay...

Very nice Scott!

1937 Negro League game used ball from Roy Caqmpanella's first pro season at age 15!

Just picked up this c. 1923 Yankee Stadium box chair. (If anyone is interested in purchasing a Yankee Stadium 1923 folding slat-backed seat, please let me know.)

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...psvthic2f3.jpg

Very nice seat Dave! Going along with the seats. I picked up a Briggs/Tiger Stadium box seat from 1912. The red seat is from Engel Stadium in Chattanooga. Babe Ruth, Harmon Killebrew, Satchel Paige and Negro League teams have played there.

^^^ Love the stadium seats!

I was finally able to cross a long sought after item off my wantlist. Mike Egner (the pennant guy; Lefty147 on the board) picked this up in Missouri and sold it to me. After some hard fought negotiations :D, Mike got about 60% of what he was after and I paid double what I wanted ;). Mike is in Boise and I'm in Salt Lake...he didn't want to ship it and I didn't want to drive six hours and burn $125 in gas...as it so happens, I have a Las Vegas friend whose son lives in Boise. He had a trip planned anyway, so he picked it up and hand delivered it to me. I spent some time cleaning it up and put a new 15' cord on it with an in-line switch. I think it ended up where it was meant to be :D. The two shown in another picture are two I already owned. I think there's one more...

I love the one on the wall in the bottom picture. Never seen anything like it. The design is exquisite.

Tom C

Thanks. It kind of screams "1960's," doesn't it? I forgot to mention, my new acquisition also contains a San Francisco 49er's team photo and 9 other, non sport screens. They scroll manually by using two knobs on the right hand side.

Wow. Congrats. Great item to go with the others.

Looks great Rob!

Giants
 

WOW! That is an awesome piece. The other two are just such cool items as well. You have a great Giants collection and I really like the way you have your collection displayed.

My only flea market find from this morning. The bat in the photo is a nice Spalding Gold Medal. Also picked up a Ebbets field postcard.

Rob really cool piece and the perfect location for it above the door. Finding space in your memorabilia room must be a challenge with your amazing and extensive Giants collection. Thanks for sharing the interesting story of how you managed to bring it on home. Adam

It certainly is but I already had that picture (but no light) in a frame. I did have to move another piece that I like quite a lot so now I have to figure that out :p.

Outstanding Rob that is an incredible item:eek:

Cool chair, David! :)

I just realized that I'd posted this in the pre-wwII section by mistake...sorry about that.

These don't compare to some of the items you guys are throwing down, but I was super excited to add them to my 1948 Bowman set.

If you have either one, please let me know. Thanks to all who helped me with these

3 modest pick ups from the RMY auction that ended last night: Casey in '52, Mickey and Whitey from '60, and Pepper Martin from '28.

Picked this off of eBay - a little tlc and I'm happy with how it came out
