March Pick Ups
 

My first check Ive ever purchased.

Salada shield. 1962, I believe.

Yes; 1962 Salada-Junket coins w/shield. NICE by the way! Fairly tough to find with the shield not cracked.

1975-78 Wausau Mets game used jersey, super tough jersey to find.

One dollar tag sale bargain. Missing the handle so I will strategically place it in my cabinet so you can't tell. :D

BTW if anyone has a pic of what one of these intact looks like I'd like to see it...I think I could fashion a replacement handle.

Jackie safe at home vs. the Giants. Pre-Posey Rule. :)

Score book with score card early 1951 Mickey Mantle, while he played with the Kansas City Blues Minor League team.

Blues Mantle program
 

Great pickup on the Blues program. Those are hard to find. Looks to be in nice shape, as well.

Jay- love the Cobb check.

I'm thrilled to add this special piece to my collection. Derek Jeter c.1996 Rookie Game Used Bat, with outstanding use and rookie era signature, PSA/DNA GU10.

Killer jeter bat ! Congrats !

Awesome bat!!!

It's always exciting to learn something new. Especially when it relates to a subject you thought you knew a lot about. I picked up this ticket and program. They are from a charity exhibition game billed as the 8th game of the 1971 World Series played at RFK on May 22, 1972. The Pirates were defeated by the Orioles 5-2 on that date. Other than the games location and final score I could not locate any additional I information.

Thanks guys. I will be put away for my son, along with my Mantle Gamer.

My biggest pick up
 

Not in hand yet, but excited to get it.

Woowwww ! That's amazing ! Congrats !

Nothing like that Jeter bat, but...
 

Always wanted to add a Yasiel Puig gamer to my collection. I think he is really funny to watch, plus when he connects, he can send one to the moon.

So naturally, I bought one from a seller on ebay who had no COA and some sketchy feedback. That's ok, right? He threw in some game used (and signed) gloves too!

Seriously, I sent it off to PSA, and it turned out the seller was legit!

Josh Gibson
 

Thanks Matt...

I missed it the first time, so I was happy to get it now. Did not think that it was going to happen, but it fits in with my other negro leaguers, so I am pretty stoked about it!

Awesome Al what a pick up!

1986 Mets Lenny Dykstra BP Jersey.

Great pick ups! Love the Jeter bat!

Mike

Awesome bat! Is that a crack in the handle?

Thanks guys.

The Jeter Bat had a minor crack in the handle that was professionally secured before I acquired it (those photos were taken prior).

what is it?

Great bat!

Disregard, I blew up the pix, nice Kirk Gibson bat!:eek::eek::eek:

1992 Derek Jeter Upper Deck Minor League Signed Card. I like Derek Jeter’s Early Autograph.

You got the Gibson part correct but that's ain't Kirk's bat!

Sorry....
 

It it a Josh Gibson bat. Still not in hand and am shaking when I think about it... but it should be here soon!

If i may ask for a item worth that much $$, do they still send it regular mail or in a armored truck.

Great bat Al and congrats!

Probably Fed Ex/UPS, covered by their insurance policy, but some things just can’t be replaced...

Yah I was just kiddn about it being Kirks.

And, if you can videotape the police escort of the mailman down your street, would love to see its arrival.

Off eBay I picked up this Dugout Lineup card (written in manager Earl Weaver's hand) from Cal Ripken Jr.'s rookie season of 1982...I had to do a little research to determine it was from the game of 08/02/82 vs. Boston

These arrived yesterday and are definitely part of the 'permanent unless I am totally broke' collection. Both are Gerrit Beneker watercolor proofs for Baseball Magazine covers:

Scott, beautiful.

Awesome, Scott! :cool:

I’d buy those for a dollar all day long! Let me know if you want to double or triple your money, and I’m your guy. :)

Glad someone here won that. I was watching it and planned on putting down a serious bid (quite a bit higher than it sold for), but mistook when the auction ended and totally missed bidding. Very cool piece!

Great pick ups!

Mike

Very cool and rare glove Marty.
Great pick-up for your Gibson collection... congrats!


Brent

Thanks Brent. I am super excited about the mitt. Big add for my Gibson collection.

Marty.

Very nice! :)

Curious, did you/have you ever heard back from RMY about your Gibson photo?
If not, I hope you do soon or eventually as I am sure you are hanging in limbo. I know I would be.

Good luck.

Thanks man! Still waiting. It is coming this week, so I will snap some pics of the packaging. For $450 shipping, I am assuming that it will be well packed and via FEDEX. Let’s see!

That made me laugh so hard! Thanks. I got the visual on that one!!

1951 Jacobellis Rookie Mays Type 1 photo
 

Picked up this 1951 Jacobellis Rookie Mays Type 1 photo to go along with my 1951 Jacobellis Rookie Mantle Type 1 photo. I love these crystal clear contact prints.

That Mantle is stellar

Love that Mantle pic!

Mike

Ben great Mantle sir, but WOW that Mays image literally jumps off the picture ! Really think the angle makes it that much more appealing, enjoy the both of them.
