MAY Pickup Thread
 

Thought I would start with a couple photos from recent 10 Highlanders Conlon lot in LOTG auction. The prizes for me were a portrait photo of Howie Camp and a photo of Charles Mullens.

But also interesting was a Bob Shawkey Conlon photo that also included a Paul Thompson stamp.

Another interesting photo was Ernie Johnson with what looks to be a note written by Conlon.

I had not seen either of these examples but maybe some of the expert Conlon guys could comment

Here are the prizes that each checked a box in my NYAL hunt:

1876 Chicago Print
 

Recent acquisition from Lelands.

Great photos Buzz! Gary that a special pick up, congrats!

Fabulous piece Gary. Congrats on that on for sure !!!

My 1890 ish baseball doll. I love this piece, he's fat like me, and cool (not like me. lol)

Congrats on winning that lot Buzz, there are some nice ones in that group.

I'm still kicking myself for having all of those lots in my watch list, with early place mark bids but somehow I completely overlooked the Dodgers lot, which is why the final hammer price was so low.

If whoever bought the Dodgers Conlon lot wants to let any of them go, I'm your man.

Dallas pickups
 

Picked up the Ruth Cobb Speaker golf and Ruth catalog in Dallas .

I posted the story about this elsewhere, but I’m still in shock that I found this in the wild.

Picked up a program from Dizzy Deans last pitching appearance for the Browns in 1947. Almost 16K fans turned out to watch Dean pitch and get a base hit. You can read about the game from the article attached.
