August Pickups.
 

Added this to my 1909 Pirates collection. I have another one of these from the same location but taken during the game. This one is during the dedication ceremony presumably prior to the game. Thanks Murph for the heads up on this.

National Show Pick-Ups
 

Not any major pick up but some fun stuff

Those two photos are very nice! Ruth pitching one of his wins for yankees(undefeated) and superb early cobb( love a signs in back and contrast).congrats!

I agree! Great pickups Bob!!

If only I didn't have to tilt my head to view

Thanks Paul and Ben

If I only knew how to post photos :) , When I open them up on my computer, they are correctly aligned but, something happens when I post them, I do not get it????

Aren't you into software or something....?? :)

Yes
 

But there is a difference in software and image manipulation

Cobb Photo
 

I bought the Cobb photo mainly because I thought it was an image used for a card. I could not recall the card until I came across this photo of the 1924 Willard Chocolate Card:

Nice items Jon and Bob. This Zach Wheat wire photo came out of a scrapbook of a friend of Zach"s. Love his handwriting.

Nice Bob, I was actually at that table when you bought the Cobb!

As was I :)

But I wasn't eavesdropping like Ben was.

Ummm... huh? All you do is evesdrop:)

Thanks
 

Jeff, thanks, you should have introduced yourself, I would l have loved to put a name with a face. I know Ben and his mug well enough :).

Ha! I didn't realize you two didn't know each other. That is awesome.

Picked up this 1929 Richard "Cannonball" Redding Contract. Been reading a lot about the Negro Leagues and thought it was a really cool piece.

Jackie Robinson
 

Something that has been on my wish list for some time.

Dave Grob

At least you didn't say "bid manipulation" :)

Great stuff everyone.

Mike

Matty
 

Bought this and it had printers marks, carefully removed them (I guess that means I restored it :D)

I am going to frame it with my other military photos of Ruth and Cobb.

Just picked this up. It was filthy when I got it and the scroll that revolves through four scenes (BB, FB, bowling and golf) was completely trashed. I had a copy made of the same scroll I have in another Falstaff sign. I spent all day today cleaning it up and it's now maybe even a little better than new, thanks to a couple of updates I made to it.

Rob that is a great item. I got this at my local shop. Rarely do I find Orioles items there.

Thanks, Clint. Is your item an advertising sign? How big is it?

Congrats on the pickup Rob.

Rob yes it is. It has an easel back and is close to 14"x19". The front is molded plastic giving it a 3D look. Sorry for the small photo from my phone.

I'd give anything for a Falstaff, why did they stop making it WHY???!!!!

A better pic.

The Falstaff and National Beer signs are fantastic! Congrats to you both.

Aug Pickups
 

Clint and Rob - both great pickups. Rob. don't you also have the lighted Giants team sign from the early '60's? It's also Falstaff, isn't it?

This is my fourth Falstaff sign. Falstaff was a big supporter of the Giants in at least their first four years in SF. They sponsored pocket schedules and 6x9 team picture postcards in all of those years.

Flea Market find from this morning.

I was thrilled to win this Trout ball. This is Mike Trout's 410th career hit signed and authenticated by MLB:

Picked up this note recently.

I have been looking for this Ron Santo PM10 for several years and I wasn't about to miss this opportunity. They just don't turn up and were apparently produced in small quantities. I am THRILLED:D

That's a little different looking than your average PM-10. Were there other Cubs with that same font?

LOL. I Have noooo idea. I call all the 1 3/4" player pins from the 50s and 60s PM10. I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT MAKES A PIN A PM10:p

Orioles
 

Clint,

I really like the Orioles National plastic easel sign. I have one that's similar that I picked up many years ago and it's one of my favorite O's signs.

Those Falstaff signs are some of my favorites and the new pickup is just awesome. I sure wish the O's had something like those, but unfortunately they don't. Those signs make for an excellent display in your Giants room!

Congratulations Mike on getting the Santo. The price sure has gone up since I found mine. And Rob, I have never seen another PM-10 like the Santo. Was probably made in very short supply in the 60's by someone who sold them at Wrigley.

Thanks Mark. I didn't even notice ours were different till I got it home and compared it to yours. Have you seen many and what do you value them at? Wonder what years they were made?

Looking in Paul Muchinsky's book, I see a similar pin of Luis Aparicio. I'm surprised to see only ten Cubs PM-10s in Paul's book.

Not a pickup but finally put the scoreboard on the garage!

Great contrast.. cool looking display.

You gotta relocate those windows! :p

That is so darn cool. Can you see it from the street? Can your neighbors see it?

The neighbors can see it and you can see it up the yard from the street. For the windows well thats for a different day.

Love those Falstaff & National Beer pieces.

I wish I found GU Bats at my flea market. Very nice!

Mike

National
 

I really don't know much about them so it's just a guess on my part, but I would think mid to late '60's. Mine had to be produced either after the '66 or '70 WS, but I would guess after the '66 Series. They loved the swinging bird with the crown on his head. I've probably seen 6-7 over the years of collecting. So it's fairly rare, but not to uncommon. At least to me, with the item being plastic the better the shape the more they are worth (at least to me). I would say 400-500 for one in nice shape. I think they are very cool!

EastonFalcon is the master of Flea Market finds! But needs to change his name to EastonEagle, 'cuz of his Eagle eye!

I made a couple of minor additions to my collection. The first is an original photo of Babe Ruth that has been cut out and adhered to heavy card stock which appears to have been intended for use in a publication? It measures 7 3/4 X 13 1/2 the back is blank. Ruth looks young in the photo. Has anyone seen this image before? I thought it was cool and for $20 How could I go wrong? The second lot I picked up was listed as a 1971 World Series program. Although I already possess a copy, the two items (poster and Clemente item) included with it I had not encountered before. At $10 I was pleased to obtain them.

Scoreboard
 

That scoreboard is just plain cool!!

Very nice Mike! Anything with Ruth & Clemente is awesome in my book.

Mike

1930's Baseball Player figural clock. Will be a nice addition to my collection.

The Ruth with no eyes creeped me out, but yah for $20 bucks, why not.

It's white editorial paint so I'm going to take A chance and remove it. Like I said $20 What the heck😎

Beautiful Clock.... Congrats on snagging that tough little figural!

http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/sayheykid1954/clock.jpg

Wonderful clock. This has long been a favorite among figural collectors:)

I don't think you should remove the paint from the Ruth. The picture is so heavily altered that it is a bit transformed into advertising art. I would leave it as it is. Plus, if you ever find what it was used for, will you want to have altered the piece used to make it?

1929 All-American Baseball Schedule NL AL and AA
 

Looking for any schedule collectors that can share some interesting information about a 1929 All-American Baseball Schedule published by All-American Services out of Chicago. The schedule has a sliding paper inside that reveals the schedule for the day/date and opponent for the 16 week season. The front has the baseball records in 1929 including Babe Ruth's 60 HR season in 1927.
I am assuming the advertiser in this schedule is a gambling business. Any insight here ?

Redleg Rooters
 

Here's a fun one for the ol collection. Recently picked up the sign to with the photo. Circa 1960 in LA.

Very cool sign! That would look really nice displayed with the photo.

Nice one, Chris! :D

That's the kind of stuff I love! Did they take the bus all the way from Cincy? :eek: :p

Thanks, fellas.

Reds Items
 

Wonderful Reds items as always..

A few Mets pinbacks added to my collection

I know this is a hockey item, but I thought you photo collectors might enjoy this one. It's a beautiful 1955 Type I Photo of Bobby Hull with the St. Catharines Teepees. The following note was hand written on the back, maybe by the photographer:

Lil Bobby Hull - Oct 6/55
Pilous (at the time coached the Teepees - future coach of the Blackhawks) knew he'd make a big splash his first day in TP's camp

Very cool

Thanks Ben! It's tough to find real nice hockey photos.

While an amazing image, the condition is really rough. It was priced to match though (which is why I got it).

Alan

"While an amazing image..." +1
Love that Mantle \ Mays 1951 WS photo. Nice pickup.

I'm not a "photo guy," but that condition doesn't really bother me. The image that matters seems unaffected.

Thanks guys! I like it too. Especially because the condition made it very affordable.

Great photo!!!

+1. I love the photo too!!

Is this rare?
 

Picked up today!

Is this rare part 2?
 

Just noticed both were postmarked the day the 1906 World Series started...!

Ron,
Love the Scoreboard! I have the same one hanging in my backyard. We even light it up on special occasions (looks amazing at night). My wife thought I was crazy, but now even she loves it. Best craigslist purchase I've ever made :)

Cubs/Sox PC's are not rare (by postcard standards) but cool none the less, especially with the postmark date. Nice pickup.
