No Babe Roth balls...but I wouldn't want to be greedy either. Lately I have been on the most incredible hot streak. After collecting and scouring antique stores for over 35 years with little to no luck I am actually tripping across stuff. In the past two months I added several items to my collection to include this ball, a 4'X4' banner which hung at Three Rivers Stadium during the 1979 series, the 1963 Dodger World Series banner I posted last month, and 6 unopened boxes of 1976-77 Topps Basketball. I recently sold the basketball cards and have arranged a deal for for a 33 Goudey Ruth, a 54 Topps Aaron, and a 55 Topps Clemente. The funds from the Basketball cards financed the whole deal. Those three cards that have been on my collecting bucket list since the late 1970's. I will be picking them up this weekend. My total out of pocket investment in all these items has been just under $200.00. Christmas in July for me here in the Great Northwest.
