I was fortunate this year to add a few items to my Boston collection, especially this 1889 cabinet of the Beaneaters team, and a 1907 cabinet of Nuf Ced McGreevey....

Great pick ups!

Love the Clemente stuff Mike. As a Puerto Rican he means so much to us as I know he does to the city of Pittsburgh. His 21, along with Ruth's 3 should be retired through out baseball in my opinion.

Those are incredible Scott!

Mine has to be Mike Trout's 410th career hit. I'm not breaking new ground when I say he's likely to wind up as one of the greatest players ever to play the game and I'm happy to own a small piece of his career:

Thanks Mike I agree about retiring his 21. Scott that Nuff Said is an awesome piece worthy of a museum.

You did pretty well for a “piker.”

Did Stargell just sign last name only?

Dave Morehead no-hitter tickets (finally). Perhaps only 500 in attendance according to Peter Gammons that was in attendance- need I say more?

An incredible Spalding scorebook that contained many Ty Cobb games and Charlie Robertson's perfect game in 1922. This was the first time that a game was called a "perfect game".

Original home and away original umpire cards from Nolan Ryan's historic 3509th K game where he passes Walter Johnson (former leader) for the all-time career strikeout record. Nolan ended up with 5,714 career K's.

Looking back, I've been able to pick up some really cool pieces over the last year.

Here are some of the highlights:

1) Jackie Robinson Negro League team signed baseball (although the angle of this picture only shows the logo and Jackie's sig) - I believe from the 1953 Barnstorming Tour since all the players (including Spec Bebop, the famous midget performer from the Indianapolis Clowns) were on that trip, although I still can't find evidence that this style baseball was definitively around in '53.)
2) Lineup cards from Brett's 3000 hit
3) Dick Cannonball Redding signed contract
3) 1945 Happy Chandler Commissioner Contract signed by a representative for each team and each league.

Amazing pickups Jeff!!

How could I forget! My Barney Dreyfus signed contract was my most exciting pickup for me. My one goal I really wanted to get this year was a Dreyfus autograph. I was thrilled to get it on a contract.
