[kdixon]

Picked up this Postal First day cover. Its not much but it was cheap.

Here are a couple of original photos I picked up:

Herb Pennock from 1923 (Underwood and Underwood)

Herb Pennock and Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert from 1927 (Wide World)

And here is what I believe is a George Burke/Brace negative of Bill Lee (1934). I was able to pick it up cheaply ($10), because I was able to recognize what it was from what I've learned from Lance about Burke/Brace negs. Thanks Lance.

You're welcome, and correct. Nice snag! Mind PMing me where you picked it up? (simple curiosity, assuming it was the only one and/or you're done shopping)

Stroh's = A headache in every bottle (or so we said in high school).

Nice sign.

Well, you're pretty spot-on. My season in rookie ball was spent largely in Paintsville, Ky., which was in a dry county. We had to drive about 30 minutes to the nearest carry-out in neighboring Pikeville County (if I remember correctly). My first trip I bought three cases of Hudepohl, in long-neck bottles.

My roommates, two from the West Coast and one from Chicago, looked at me like I was crazy.

This just arrived. The early catchers gloves were sold in pairs - the catcher in this photo has a glove on his right hand (placed over heart) and his left-hand glove is resting on his right knee.

Very nice photo Scott!! Is that a mask on the catcher's knee?

[Runscott]

Thanks Ben and Dan. Yes, that's a catcher's mask. I collect early catcher's mask photos, so this was a good find.
