Tigers Oddball Lot from Cobb to Kaline

[Al Parker]

Here's an assortment of oddball Detroit Tigers items:

** A 1915 Metropolitan magazine with a full page Tuxedo Tobacco ad featuring Ty Cobb. The ad measures 11x14 and looks GREAT when matted and framed. I know, because I have another one just like it framed in my collection. That's why I want to pass this beauty on to another collector. The magazine cover is loose, but the inside pages are beautiful. There are plenty of great ads too, including Bull Durham Tobacco and Omar cigarettes. SOLD!

**An official AL Bobby Brown ball boldly signed in blue ballpoint by Kaline. No COA. $40 shipped.

**A one-of-a-kind black and white framed 8x10 from 1967 showing Kaline and Gates Brown shagging flies during batting practice. Long-time Tigers fans will remember that Kaline broke his hand in a rare fit of temper after striking out against Sudden Sam McDowell. "Mr Tiger" slammed his bat into the bat rack and snapped a bone in his right hand, sidelining him for weeks. IN this photo, Kaline and Brown are both are wearing casts on their arms. And both have signed this one-of-a-kind photo in blue sharpie. A RARE Tigers collectible. No COA. $45 shipped.

**A 6-inch square Tigers Win/Lose sign. These were used at newspaper boxes during the early 1980s to show how the team did. One side shows they win, the other shows they lost. This one is in excellent condition. $20 shipped.

**A 5.5 inch ceramic Tigers ashtray from the early 1980s. This beauty is in near mint condition and was never used for smoking. Along with the ashtray comes an unused matchbook of official Tigers matches that I picked up from the Tiger Stadium press box in 1984. One side has the cartoon Tiger and the other has the address of Tiger Stadium. A great item for a True Tigers Fan. Get both for $25 shipped.
