My dad went to Penn. He told me they used to chant “What’s the color of horseshit? Brown, brown, brown!”

Classy!

I picked this up. not really sure what to call it.

Cool items! Michael, you probably know this already, but most of the embossed postcards have been identified as Major League players. There is an excellent thread on the main board about them.

Edtiques, that looks like a gambling card for a neighborhood numbers game. I have had different versions before.

I love the Brown button with the football, teddy bear and flags.

That's actually a pocket mirror. I thought it was a pinback when I first saw it.

Looks like you have a nice collection going!!

Here you go Alan. Ebay pickup around 2017-2018. Edges aren't perfectly cut and I've wondered if it would have been a larger sheet at one time all with multiples of this one image with a different sheet with one of the other images?? Not sure how the setup would have looked.

It's a copper "press plate" used to make the middle postcard i posted at the beginning of the thread. Same size as postcard. I'm pretty sure I posted it several years back when I first got it. Just posted this go round to correspond with the postcard I just picked up.

Here is the same Sliding Scene (Red Sox HOFer, Jimmy Collins) as portrayed on an early teens Trophy. Beautiful graphics on this one, and I really appreciate the Jimmy Collins reference from the previous link.

Wowza, that's amazing!

I absolutely love vintage sports postcards and this one does not disappoint! 1953-59 era, Bert Rechichar, Baltimore Colts postcard. Issued by the Highlander DeSoto car dealership in Baltimore. Postally unused.

Gorgeous trophy Mark!

[aelefson]

Michael, the printing plate is awesome! I wonder how the seller got it originally and what happened to the others. Mark, amazing trophy! Is it a Stall and Dean? Cool pickups from everyone this month.

Cool piece. Is it a scoreboard or the upcoming schedule for the week?
