June 2022 New Pickups Thread
 

I guess I'll start this new months pickup thread!

It's been very sparse pickings in Eastern Iowa but I did pickup this dogear football helmet this afternoon.

I think late teens but I am stumped on the chinstrap on this thing. Can't find a comp on it. The laces match up to the other cloth pattern on the brow strap. I think it was adjusted to some of the ear pad holes but the strap have very similar slot holes to the helmet. My question is, is the chinstrap a later addition?

There is a maker mark but it's hard to read. Stamp is in an oval. On bottom of oval it states Sporting Goods. I think is says Schmidters Kansas City,MO but can't get a real read on it.

Any help would be appreciated!

It would appear that the slots below are for the chin strap. It looks like someone shoved the strap through the earholes.

Picked up 2 Globe Baseball mugs. I've always loved these mugs. I was looking for one of these for years and couldn't find any for sale. Now I pick up 2 in the same week.

Pretty excited to add this boggs bp used pro model to the collection

Beautiful Boggs bat. Technically I picked these three up in Pittsburgh the end of May. They were finally delivered yesterday. Examples of all three tend to be tough. The Charlie Sands has a 1967 Adirondack center brand. That was his first season, he played in one game and had one at bat. I love the pine tar on the Davalillo. The Jackie Hernandez has me pretty excited as it is a 1971 World Series issued bat. Which makes it very rare and extra meaningful in my collection.

I don't pick much up along you guys level, but when I get something I like, why not.

NFS at this time. I am extremely pleased to get this:

photo of fans swarming the field on 9-23-1908. That of course is the date of the INFAMOUS Merkle Game. This is stamped w a pair of more modern stamps, but also an old one. It is definitely an early photo.

The Brown Brothers are still in existence and have been since 1904, having done multitudes of famous photos. Their website gives a great history.

That's a great photo Scott. Have you managed to spot any of the players in that melee?

I was pleased to get this DiMaggio Star of Tomorrow Calendar for a very reasonable price.

Great calendar! and no I haven't. Time to get the glass out😉

I just bought these from a Cincinnati Reds baseball group. I thought they were neat. "Cincinnati 1961 NL Champs." Seller thought they were stadium shop items sold in 62.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6ee43ea257.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d12cbd0575.jpg

Lot of 11 Rawhide lobby cards.

I have similar ones from the 1959 World Series that never happened!

that is cool! yours looks like a fielder. I wonder if a fielder also exists within my set?

I like those ^^^^. Spalding trophies for the budget minded. :p

I was real happy go get this shot of Jackie in Montreal in June 1946, chilling out on the steps of building he and Rachel lived in.

Just picked up my 15th different Wade Boggs Flame Tempered(store model) bat for my collection.

Steve, great Jackie photo! Nice having a date on it.

Nice snapper, Steve!

On De Gaspe Street I grew up 5 minutes from that house

Wow. Thank you. Very very cool.

Thanks. I like it. I found a pic on the Internet with Jackie on steps same clothes but with Rachel, must have been from same day.

very nice congrats

The statues used on top of the base are modeled after ( same mold?) of the Robert Gould statues. Your pitcher for instance is Don Newcombe. See:

while I doubt that all the Gould statues would have been used on these "trophies" I have or have seen quite a few of them and they all are based on the Gould's

Not a game used piece but I was excited to add Miggy to my 500 homerun club ball. The folks at Tigers Authentics were a pleasure to work with! Barry Bonds is the only player left to complete the ball. I have no idea how to obtain him.

thanks for the info!

I suppose there are some early deceased players missing on the ball, or do you REALLY only need Barry Bonds? That's a cool item by the way. Sometimes people get multi signature balls and I have no idea what the connection is.

Hey thanks! Bonds is the only guy I need on the ball- except for Ruth, Foxx and Ott! The sloppiest signature is Manny's, by far! I wonder if Ken Goldin will have a signing with Bonds? Otherwise I have no idea where to get him.

Bonds hasn't signed for years now. He used to sign through his organization but they no longer accept submissions. Best bet is to wait until he finally agrees to sign a deal with a production company that handles major signings. Especially given the significance of the ball.

That is super helpful! Thanks.

PC sized photo card
 

Probably for fan mail replies

Wilt Chamberlain, ca early 1960s

I am not into basketball cards but I love the pose and simplicity...


.

And it's Wilt The Stilt...for my money still the GOAT.

Temple Cup Print
 

Glad to own this one

That's an amazing one. Wow.

1930s Grover Hartley bat. Surprised they made one, but perfect for the Hartley PC.

1949 Bob Feller Japan
 

1949 Japanese Shogaku Six Grader Magazine Furoku Comic Book "The Fireball Pitcher" with Bob Feller on the cover. Super nice copy that is easily EX-MT or better!

Adam, I strongly disagree with you. IMHO, not only is "Wilt the Stilt" not the GOAT, he wasn't even the greatest of his time. I'm an old fart who watched a lot of basketball back in the 1959's-1970's, and if I was the GM of an NBA team back then and has first choice of any player for my team, I'm choosing Bill Russell.

Perhaps the truest measure of a Basketball GOAT is how many championships his teams won. For their total careers, Chamberlain won 2 NBA Championships, whereas Russell won 11 NBA Championships. During the 10 years (1960-1969) both were in the NBA, Wilt one 1 of his 2 Championships, in 1967 over Russel's Celtics; Russell's Celtics won the other 9 NBA Championships during this decade! I rest my case, your Honor.

That's Badass! Congrats! :cool:

Not the prettiest girl at the dance, but she sure is special
 

Stumbled upon this. Seriously. Not even kidding. Bought a St Louis Browns Program/Scorecard, no mention of ticket, it arrived in the mail, to my surprise there was a ticket taped on the back cover.

Ticket is from August 29, 1951, NY Yankees at St Louis Browns

https://www.baseball-reference.com/b...95108290.shtml

Significance:

Mickey Mantle's only career Home Run off........Satchel Paige!

The kid (age 19) hits a 3 run shot (450 ft.) off the old master (age 45) with 2 outs in the 9th inning.

So many unique things about this:

Mantle's 2nd HR wearing #7
His 9th career HR
His 1st HR off a future HOFer
His 1st HR off a former Negro Leaguer
His one & only HR off the legendary Satchel Paige

Last, there are no tickets from the game (8/25/51 NY@Clev.) he hits his first HR wearing #7 graded by PSA, and none from this game (8/29/51 NY@St.L) graded by PSA so this "could be" the earliest Mantle #7 HR ticket in existence.....

.....that was sitting for 70 years taped to the back of scorecard.

I collect anything Lou Criger so was excited to see this pop up on eBay recently. From a Billiard Parlor owned by battery mates Lou Criger and Pitcher George Cuppy.
