Second October Pick Up Thread
Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I thought I'd start a new thread with this scorecard from about 1945. The text on the inside is a little fuzzy because I had to compress it to post the images. But it includes a very nice story of Pete Gray's career. The "Barnstorming Colored Giants" roster had no names that I recognize, but several players are listed as members of Satchel Paige's All Star team.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1191717862.JPG"> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1191717887.JPG"> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1191717912.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Chris Bland</b><p>Danny,<br /><br />Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I am pretty sure the M101-5s you picked up are reprints. If you look at the space between the inner border and the image, the gap is much larger than it should be on a true M101-5.<br /><br />I am not positive though - maybe someone with a little more experience could give their opinion for you...

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Chris - I was just going to say the same thing - that inner border looks wrong.

Second October Pick Up Thread
Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>I don't post in these pickup threads nearly enough.<br /><br />Here's a cabinet card of Eddie Collins from 1906, when he was a student at Columbia. If anyone here was a prior owner of this item, and you know more about it, I'd love some more info. Clearly the mount was trimmed away from the photo, but the image is stunning.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.swingbattaswing.com/page1/files/page1-1005-full.jpg"><br /><br />-Al

Second October Pick Up Thread
Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>So you're the culprit Al!!! Nice pickup...I noticed that Hunt's had quite a few items that once belonged to Collins in their last couple of auctions.

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>Sorry, Dan. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />I'm really happy to own this. I'm becoming more and more addicted to cabinets.<br /><br />I hadn't noticed the Collins memorabilia in Hunt, but that's good to know - thanks for telling me that.<br /><br />-Al
|
Second October Pick Up Thread
Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>That cabinet came from Hunt's. I just assumed you won it there. Did you get it off of ebay?<br /><br />A couple of months back (July?) they had 3 scrapbooks that belonged to Collins...I'm pretty sure this cabinet photo you have was owned by him.
|
Second October Pick Up Thread
Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>Oh, no, I wasn't being clear. I bought the cab from Hunt, but wasn't aware they had a slug of Collins memorabilia that he once owned.<br /><br />I wanted to dig around and try and figure out where the photo came from and who took the shot, but to me, it adds even a little more excitement if the cab was potentially owned by Collins. I'll have to get in touch with Hunt and ask them.<br /><br />Thanks for that info!<br /><br />-All

Second October Pick Up Thread
Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I think you can almost bet that this cabinet was owned by him since it is from his college days and it's probably a one of a kind or perhaps only a few were made for he and his family. Add that to the fact Hunt's auctioned off scrapbooks owned by Collins and his wife and it's probably a certaintly. I've noticed Hunt's likes to spread out their collections they get from one auction to the next...they had a nice group of items that belonged to Smokey Joe Wood that they auctioned off over the course of 2-3 auctions.

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>Wow. That would be dope.<br /><br />I'll report back to 54 once I find something out - I don't want to hijack the new pickup thread much more, but Dan, I really appreciate all that info. That really makes it a much cooler piece than I even thought it was, if it's the case.<br /><br />-Al

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>Turns out that the Collins cab is, indeed, from one of Collins' own scrapbooks.<br /><br />How about that! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Thanks for pointing it out, Dan.<br /><br />-Al

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>That's great Al. I don't know why Hunt's doesn't mention stuff like that in their descriptions, but often times they don't. Collins is my favorite deadball era player and I seriously considered going after that harder, but lucky for you a once in a lifetime panorama came up and I shifted my focus. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Robert S</b><p>I bought this one a couple of years ago at a show in NY. Here are both sides of this cut-down cabinet. <br /><br />The writing on back identifies him as Edward T. Collins and as Eddie Collins and has a partial date of what looks to be a 'y' followed by '31, 1908.'<br /><br /><img src="http://vintageball.com/files/Collins_1908.JPG"><br /><br /><img src="http://vintageball.com/files/Collins_1908B.JPG">
