Like many of you all, I have bounced back and forth on what I collect.
HOF rookie cards? Sure.
Signed HOFer cards? Even better.
'39 HOF induction autos? Why not!?!
Based on budget, displayability, and personal interest, I've moved to something else over the past few months. And that is original/Type I photos of baseball personalities wearing a bow tie. As I wear a bow tie to work every day, this really resonates with me. So on this thread, I'll post my pickups. I have a few that I need to take pics of, but I'll get them up asap and continue to update this thread.
IF YOU HAVE or FIND A PHOTO OF HARMON KILLEBREW, IN A BOW TIE (non-tuxedo), PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I'm interested in most other HOF and/or STARS as well. I'm not looking for pre-tied tuxedo ties but real, hand-tied bow ties.
The first one I bought (two years ago) is a great photo of Branch Rickey.
Tris Speaker in the 50's (he's kind of covering up his bow tie, but it's there).
Here is the most recent one I got, Ty Cobb in '58.
