March 2024 pickups

[ooo-ribay]

I got this from a fellow Giants collector the other day. 16 x 20 and definitely vintage. This may be an image of the 1961 ASG. The photo was pretty fragile so I quickly threw it in a frame I happened to have lying around.

That’s a nice looking photo.

Thanks, Mike. It’s beat up but there’s something cool about it (at least to me).

Maybe I’ll see if I can replace the picture I took with one without reflections of our pendant lights…

[doug.goodman]

Very cool!

[bigfanNY]

REA pickup... very happy to have it.

March pick-ups have been quiet. I was an underbidder that last time I saw one of these sell 11 years ago in a Heritage auction. Patience and persistence always pays off. Although not in hand I purchased this 1971 Pirates celebration banner yesterday it measures about 5’X3’. If I don’t add anything else to my collection this year all will be good!

[doug.goodman]

Wow Mike, that's a great pick up! Congrats!

[71buc]

Thanks Doug!

Awesome Mike!! That's a great feeling of finally landing an item you've been after for so long....non collectors would never understand lol

[ooo-ribay]

Damn, Mike! You have a great collection of 1971 banners (and all kinds of other cool stuff)!

I dug this photo from deep in a box at a flea market in DC. I have very little knowledge of early photos. Although the photo feels/seems old, the image looks grainy to me (like it may have been copied) but I'm not sure it's a image anyone would want to make a copy of? More to the point, it appears to me a photo of Yankees in the dugout and between number 24 looks (to me) like Gehrig on the left and Ruth on the right.

Do you think it's a legit (original) photo?
Do you think it's Gehrig & Ruth?
What year would you guess the photo was taken?
Would this be considered a "fan-taken" photo or more likely a news person or someone with credentials to be on the field?

Thanks Greg

The photo measures aprrox. 3 3/4 x 5 3/4"

[71buc]

BuzzD complexion issues aside, those are beautiful photos. Greg, I can’t answer your questions but I see Ruth and Gehrig.

[chalupacollects]

Found a nice copy with Gehrig and Ruth!

Was able to pick up this nice 8X10 signed photo of Rockford Peaches player Mary Pratt.

When looking through my stack of 1887 sports pages pulled from the New York Clipper I found this article. It's not exciting to look at but does record a very significant event in baseball. After this July 14, 1887 meeting - no new major league baseball contracts were awarded to black players until Jackie Robinson.

[doug.goodman]

Wow, that is an amazing story.

"Secretary White"

Awesome Kreindler! Very “Rockwellian” in nature. Really brings back the era in beautiful fashion. Great pickup!

[ksfarmboy]

Cool postcard Michael! Not much population out that way so that’s quite the turnout!

[sicollector1954]

It has been an amazing month for my collection. Thanks for your compliments.
He is an amazing artist to say the least.
