Todays Card Show Report (2 of 2) (Fighting Phillies)
 

So this dealer was helping an estate sell off a Phillies collection. And there was some cool stuff, but I know nothing about it. One of my fellow OBC trading buddies (Josh) is a Phillies collector, and he knows his stuff. Josh and I have been swapping cards since 1991!
PROBLEM it's 9AM in Florida, and 6AM out west where Josh lives LOL! I bought a few of the items, and then Josh called me. He confirmed the stuff was legit, so I went back inside and bought most of what remained. Many of the items were from Philadelphia newspapers, and the total price paid $85.

First up, three cool decals. Do kids even know what decals are anymore?

Great pickups, Larry. Hope your friend in CA appreciates you looking out for him.

I didn't purchase everything the guy had. I left behind a few felt pennants including this one. Also another very cool team photo (from a newspaper "The Evening Bulletin") dealer said $100 on the photo but I never really got into the negotiation mode. Probably should have pulled the trigger on that.

Phillies items
 

Really nice pickups on the Phillies items. Also, really like the pin ups. Personally I would have tried to pick up that panoramic and pennant (if I was a Philadelphia fan that is...).

You weren't the person I discussed Phillies items with were you? There was a dealer there that said he was a Phillies fan and I asked him about broadsides for the game where the Phillies would play another MLB team where they helped monetarily w/ sandlot baseball. It was called the Annual Junior Baseball Federation Game. The broadsides would picture a few Phillies players along w/picturing players from the other MLB team.
