Well I guess I will get the month started with a big pick up for me. Was able to get a very hard PM10 stadium pin off my list...

Off eBay I picked up the homeplate Umpire's lineup card from 05/12/84 from an Orioles/A's game which happened to be the last appearance of Jim Palmer in a MLB game (unbeknownst to the seller). Just the other day I had Palmer sign/inscribe it accordingly:

Great start to the month Al. Congratulations! Looks like this is one of those pins with the small baseball located right after his name. Would love to know if this was a manufacturing mark that means these were all made by the same company.

Thrilled with this pickup. The Apr 14, 1918 edition of the Cleveland Sunday Leader Rotogravure Pictorial Supplement, showing the smiling faces of the Cleveland Indians. Measures about 16.5" x 22" and is in fantastic shape for a 100 yr old newspaper!

I just picked up this exceedingly rare full, unused ticket from 9/9/48 at NY Giants.
On this day, Brooklyn Dodgers fire-balling rookie hurler Rex Barney no-hit the hometown favorite NY Giants 6-0. 4 K's and 2 BB. As background, ticket stubs from this game surface from time to time, although they are somewhat rare. Full tickets to this game are super tough. I have seen perhaps 3 full tickets to this game enter the hobby through the years. Two of the three were in pretty beat up shape IMHO, and I passed on both. This guy is the first really nice one that I have ever seen. I had to own it in my collection... ![]() Many thanks to net54 board members Mike, Charles and Joe for all making sure that I saw this ticket and pointing out the auction to me. Heads ups are always appreciated as it really does take a village to build a great collection. ![]() ![]() It's really gratifying to have so many collector friends keeping an eye out for me & I'm eternally grateful!!

I picked up a large grouping of letters from the late 1800's of which most dealt with the early oil industry in Pennsylvania. However, within the group were a couple of letters relating to base ball. This letter was written by John O. McClintock. McClintock became an attorney and also an investor in the oil industry. He also played catcher for a strong regional team, the Meadville Mutuals. This letter, however, had to do with some humorous activity in a game in 1876 between the Allegheny team and the Philadelphia Athletics of the newly formed National League. Wish I had access to a newspaper that might better explain why they were trying to arrest Russ McKelvy (who played a couple of short stints in the National League).
July 20, 1876 "...the news I have to communicate are briefly these: last Monday morning John Scheafnocker, one of our constables ... went down to Allegheny and just as McKelvy was going into his position to play ball, arrested him and was going to drag him off to the train and bring him up here again but in that he was defeated. An alderman was there who took temporary bail for the appearance of McKelvy at his office at 7 o'clock of that evening. As soon as that was done, McK stepped back to his position and went to work and pitched against the famous Athletics of Phila. The score was 4 to 0 in favor of the Athletics. They got 8 base hits on McK and the Alleghenys got 7. The 4 runs were made in the 4th inning. At 7 o'clock McK went before the alderman, waived a hearing, and gave bail for his appearance here in August. Madison Bunce made the complaint upon which the warrant was issued. I may go down to Pittsburgh next week. If I do I will see what the situation of affairs is...." Rob M. page 1.jpg page 2.jpg |

Recently I picked up a nicely scored program to Johnny "Double No-Hit" Vander Meer's ML debut. The really cool thing was that it was poorly described on eBay, which set up a great opportunity to finally find this long-time want at an unbelievable price.
On April 22, 1937, Reds rookie southpaw hurler Johnny Vander Meer quietly entered the game as a pinch runner in the 9th inning. Unfortunately, the hometown Reds ended up on the losing side of a offensive barrage by both teams. The St. Louis Cards prevailed 14-11 over the Reds Last edited by Scott Garner; 02-08-2018 at 02:16 PM. |
