1944 Augie Galan Dodgers Satin
 

Chris,

Congratulations on landing the Galan. Wonderful jersey on so many levels.

Dave Grob

Yard sale pickups from this morning...1980s Mookie Wilson GU bat, 1940s John Sullivan (Senators) bat and a Yogi Berra/Don Larsen signed hand painted ball.

Ron goes to much better yard sales than I ever see!

Rob, almost every yard sale I go to I find nothing but junk and waste gas driving around trying to find them. But every now and then I manage to hit a good one. Today was one of those days.

1968-70 Willie Mays Adirondack Bat

1947-1949 Phillies Road
 

Just crossed a toughie off my list. While I collect a wide range uniforms to augment my reference library, I do have favorite areas. As a Crosley Field era Reds fan, I love Reds/Redlegs home uniforms and visiting NL team uniforms from 1934-1970. Even within this, my favorite subset are the NL road uniforms from 1947-1957.

Dave Grob

Beautiful uniform, Dave. Thanks for posting.

This'll be different

So I go to the Alameda Point show today 1/2 hour before it closes...really wasn't expecting to find anything...and I spot this barbell...$75.00...Seller said couldn't do better than $70.00 since it attracted so much attention throughout the day...never seen one with the ball ends for sale before....although plenty of dumbells...so I pulled the trigger...goes with my other strongman stuff...links below...feels like about 100LB...50LB per side...not sure on age...I don't know when they stopped using the ball ends...Would guess it's from around 1890 to 1920...

Very cool, Carlton!

Gotta be an early one... Love the classic shape.

Did you need any help unloading that thing?

Interesting pickup Carlton! With the bar bell and the heavy chain (anchor chain?) the vendor certainly deals in heavy metals! I prefer to lug paper and jerseys around to shows myself ;)

Seldom seen supplements
 

Not that anybody besides me is looking for them...

Thank you to another Doug for helping this Doug to more than double my collection of North American supplements (each about 10" X 15") from 5 to 11.

Thanks also to Leon for connecting us.

Here are the 6 that I received today...

Doug

Congrats Doug!
I can't even imagine how scarce those are, knowing that you didn't already own them before.

1924 Detroit Tigers Home Jersey
 

Cliff Brady 1924 Detroit Tigers home jersey. Period newspaper accounts place Brady in Augusta, GA with the Tigers during spring training 1924. As Manager, Cobb wanted this as his spring training location. Brady was not optioned out until 3 April, 1924. That was less than two weeks prior to Opening Day (15 April), so the 1924 uniform order would have already been placed.

Dave Grob

Amazing vintage piece, Dave.

What a beautiful Jersey :cool:

Congrats on another amazing pickup, Dave!

June pick up
 

I found this on ebay and then found the ad. Attachment 234248

Attachment 234249

Very cool George Brett combo. I was wearing my Pine tar George Brett stadium giveaway t-shirt today.:D He was my baseball hero as a kid.

Brett Photo
 

I couldn't believe I could find the ad so quickly that this photo was used in.
Great find for me :)

june pick up
 

Great Ruth!

Thanks alot

New to Hobby - 1948 Single Signed Ruth Ball
 

Recent JSA authentication - posted this ball elsewhere to this forum asking opinions as to whether this is a ball point pen? JSA stated it was a steel-tip fountain pen, but the start of the crossing of the 'T' leads me to believe its not. It seems the pen made a perfect circle, not sure how that happens with a steen-tip fountain pen. Any input would be appreciated.

Mark

Picked this pin up this morning.

Picked up 2 Hank Aaron items for this month. The first is an original 1958 Hartland statue, high step version. It's been glued to a white plastic platform, but I got it for a really good price and it still looks nice. I've only got the magnet version left to find. The second item is not really "vintage". It's the Aaron bobblehead from the Lakeshore Chinooks game on 6/4/16. I've got all of the current Aaron bobblheads except the "Catman" one.

Vancouver junk is better than Calgary junk!
 

Got to my second antique show/flea market since moving back to Vancouver and found some interesting items - a baseball themed loving cup trophy - local to Vancouver, a mashie-niblick golf club, a Japanese printed "Black Superman - Muhammad Ali 45 record, a bunch of 1980's hockey and CFL tix, a couple of 1940's hockey photos and a cool looking pinball box top from the '40's. Lights up too!

I love that! May I ask what you paid?

Another garage sale find for Ron! :D

Picked this up as a companion piece to the game which I have

6 panel lemon peel
 

6 panel lemon peel weighing 3.00 ounces and 9.03 inches in circumference.

Ty Cobb store model bat.

1920's Tryon smooth surface shin guards
 

Picked up these nice Tryon Sporting Goods shin guards this weekend. I believe they date to the '20's. I also understand that Tryon is the oldest sporting goods dealer in the U.S., dating to the early 1800's.

1916 Christy Mathewson

Went down south to the Rose Bowl Flea this past weekend...Barely even saw anything interesting...much less to buy...However I did run around to some antiques malls in L.A....Santa Monica, Pasadena, Hermosa Beach, Sherman Oaks...all nothing...But in a store in Pasadena a gal had a small collection of about ten European tins...and I spotted this c1900 12" tall mountaineering one...Mountaineering stuff is hard to find...but what a sport!!!...man against mountain....Now if I can just find some great tobogganing or dog sled race piece!

http://www.bamfords-auctions.co.uk/b...ectionery-tin/
I found another example on line, below...and as you can see originally it had a lid...The auction in which this better condition one sold...listed it as a Fryer's tin...I couldn't find any reference to Fryer's but did find a "Fryers" candy company in Nelson, Lancashire England that likely produced this tin....

<img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/Mountaineering%20Tin%202/Better%20Condition_zps0bvsdcej.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo Better Condition_zps0bvsdcej.jpg"/>

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk...true_pioneers/
Fryer and Co (Nelson) Ltd, Victory V Factories, had its origins way back in 1830 when Nelson man Thomas Fryer met a travelling confectioner over a pint of beer and they decided to open a small shop in the town making peppermints and lozenges.

Eventually Fryer built a factory but when he ran out of cash 20 years later, Dr Edward Smith bought the business for £1,000 and ran it with his brother William Their formula for combining ether, liquorice and chloroform – it took five to seven days for the whole process – to produce Victory V Lozenges was still being used in 1959.

William took full control of the company in 1864 and it became a private company in 1906.

When he retired two years later, Jack became manager.

Down the years, the company had many notable firsts – it was the first to make jelly babies, slab toffee and decorated tins as sweet packaging.

Picked up this coffee ad piece on eBay last night. A pretty unique piece compared to my typical items.

Very neat looking piece Carlton. Way to hang in there and make a find!

The "other" Mickey Mantle Day
 

Program and ticket stub. I know it's not as desirable as the June 8, 1969 ticket, but still a nice Mantle item in my opinion and a small piece of Yankees history.

http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...psytcvvzk3.jpg


Also picked up a stub to Joe DiMaggio Day, a day on which the Yankees won the pennant by beating the Red Sox. I've had this ratty condition press photo of DiMaggio giving a speech that day for a while. Love the jacket.

Pretty excited for my first Jackie auto!

Nice! :D

Picked up this 1920s Ken Williams bat yesterday.

This arrived Saturday. Thanks to a fellow 19th century collector I now have a Jack Glasscock rookie season scorecard to add to my collection!!!

1972 White Sox Radio Broadcast Booth Scorecards
 

Harry Caray began broadcasting Chicago White Sox games in 1971. Working with him in the booth during 1971 and 1972 was Ralph Faucher, veteran Chicago area sports announcer and sports director for WTAQ, LaGrange.

According to Ralph, he and Harry kept a scorecard during every game. They used the scorecard information throughout the game; also, Faucher did the post game show using the scorecard info.

Below is an example of the historical scorecards from that 1972 season. The near complete set of detailed scorecards from that year also includes a few spring training games. In 1972, Richie Allen was AL MVP and Wilbur Wood topped the AL with 24 wins, 376 IP during a successful White Sox season.

Images below display front and back of one of the 1972 detailed scorecards (11 x 12 inches), 5/30/72 Angels vs White Sox.

Ernie Banks
 

Joey,

"REALLY" like the Banks...

Thanks mark!

Thanks Al for this one. Circa 1947

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/q...psvldgpjoc.png

Fantastic pickup, congrats!

Joey, love the Robinson of course, but the Banks is legit. Nice.

Thanks bro

1943 magazine article with a great image of Josh Gibson. Just got this back from the frame shop

Picked up this Drysdale with Burt Shotton looking on for my pre-rookie collection.

Just got these guys !

Great score Matt. Don't usually see anyone picking up both at the same time.

1969 Bench Road Jersey
 

Was glad I struck out in Leland's as it turns out, it freed me up for this one. Although from a distance or with a poor cell phone, the embroidery looking like "1968", up close it is clearly 1969. In addition, the Wilson tagging for 1968 is much different than 1969. The 1968 Reds road jerseys (also Wilson products) feature red over white tackle twill for ALL numbering and lettering, front and back.

Dave Grob

Dave,
That Bench shirt is a killer. Very nice!

1969 Bench Road Jersey
 

Scott,

Thanks. I think so as well. In response to a couple of emails, here are side by side shots showing the differences between the 1968 and 1969 Reds road uniforms.

Dave Grob

Very nice Dave! Is the patch original to the jersey?

1969 Bench Road Jersey
 

Clint,

The NOB has been restored and I just had the patch restored. I have a pretty good selection of the 1969 Anniversary patches, so I found one that looks great and shows commensurate use and wear to the jersey.

Dave

Dave,
Pretty tough to find a 69 jersey with original patch. Great classic jersey and thanks for sharing the pics.
Clint

Love the 1927 Yankees photo!

Johnny Vander Meer 1st start ticket
 

I recently picked up a tough ticket to Johnny Vander Meer's 1st ML career start on May 19, 1937, which also happened to be the 1st night game for the Reds in 1937.
As many of you perhaps know, the Cincinnati Reds became the first ML team to play baseball under the lights in 1935.
Prior to this game, rookie Vander Meer only had been used as a pinch hitter and in relief since his ML debut in late April 1937.

21 year-old Vandy went the full 9 innings, but took the tough luck loss 3-1.
Vander Meer deserved better, pitching effectively and striking out a season high 11 Boston batters, not allowing an earned run in the game.
As an aside, Vandy also picked up his 1st career hit in his first AB in the majors.

I wish I had an actual photo from this game...

Jack Johnson and Jess Willard RPPCs
 

Picked up these early RPPCs of Jack Johnson and Jess Willard. They fought for the Heavyweight title in 1915 in Havana, Cuba, so I believe these were produced around that time by a studio in Panama. Both appear to be signed on the reverse by Jess Willard and there is an interesting reference to Kid Norfolk who was a famous Lt Heavyweight boxer of that era. Is the signature on the front of the Johnson RPPC a possible authentic Johnson autograph?

Yankee Stadium Usher's Shirt
 

Love items like this to add to team uniform/stadia displays.

Dave Grob

Great shirt Dave! I love it. And another nice example of showing color in a black and white world.

Scott - Congratulations on picking up the ticket to Vandy's first start. I appreciate how you share the history behind the item.

Yankee Usher
 

Jack,
Thanks.. In time I hope to find a cap to go with it.

Dave Grob

Thanks Jack!

No Bull. I've Wanted One of These Forever
 

I know that Cooperstown has the jersey worn by Costner, but this is just such a classic visual from one my all time favorite movies. I have hundreds of jerseys in my collection, Hall of Famer flannels, gamers from childhood idols, but this one just brings me a special kind of joy.

If I had this when we were doing the book, I would have insisted on a feature essay for Crash Davis.

Dave Grob

That's pretty awesome!!

Newest Mets items

Those are great pics.

Those are great. Are any particularly rare? The Agee, maybe?

You should put them in the Anybody collect pins? thread....it could use a revival. :D

Thanks alot!
