Favorite pick up of 2019

It seems like we usually have one of these threads at the end of each year. Let's see your favorites.
For me it's a webless crescent glove and an 1860s 40" bat with a twine wrapped handle.

It was a thin year for me. It is getting harder to pick up unique items for my 1971 Pirates collection. The glove bank is the only one I have ever seen. I had been searching for this celebration street banner for many years and was pleased to check it off my want list. Steve Blass'J Roy Stockton Award for Outstanding Achievment was a fun pick up.

Rogers Peet Company complete magazine with Ruth on the cover. Only one I have ever seen or can find,

Shifted gears a bit toward the middle of the year. My two favorite pickups were Ken Dryden and Patrick Roy game used sticks. The dryden has factory stamp dating to october 1975. He switched to canadien sticks the following season. What makes this one particularly cool is that there is a date of 5/1/76 lightly written on the blade. My hypothesis is that the original owner got it from dryden after game 3 of the semis... the canadiens went on to win that series 4-1 en route to a 12-1 post season record

I have a few favorites but really like this huge panoramic (over 6 feet) from 1910 of the Huntington Ave. Grounds (predecessor to Fenway Park). I haven't found many good pictures of this stadium, so the quality of this one really makes it a favorite for me!

I bought this 1991 Wade Boggs bat from the personal collection of the famous drag racer Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen on Jan 2 2019. So I got my favorite piece of memorabilia early in the year.

1938-39 w711 Cincinnati Reds team issued partial set. I had been looking for a couple of years for some of these. A few hard to find cards: Bill McKechnie, Ernie Lombardi, among others. Got it just after Christmas, so it was almost a favorite purchase for this year.
