Was very happy to add this terrific photo of the "Captain" to my collection.

And from England, comes this group of seldom seen novelty items from 1964. The Beatles Jewellery Brooch "Guitar" Pin counter-top display box. And a complete set of the Beatles Jewellery Brooch "Guitar" Pins that were displayed and sold in the said box.

Wow Jimmy, the Type 1 of Lou is super - love the pose and smile. And the Beatles display box and pins -how do you ever find this stuff? This portion of your collection is growing well past world class!!!

[GrayGhost]

Two great pickups Jimmy

[mr2686]

Geez Jimmy, you said you got a type 1 of The Captain, but I don't see Jeter in that photo anywhere . Seriously, that's a great photo and I too would like to know where the heck you find all of the Beatles stuff.

[Forever Young]

Jimmy,

What a GREAT photo of Gehrig used for his 1961 golden press card. Truly a fantastic shot!

The MINTY Beatles stuff you have acquired is second to none that I have seen. Lots of Beatles stuff out there but you somehow find the rarest stuff in the highest condition. That is a pretty good combination I would say!

Great way to start the month!

It is hard to believe we are almost to the midway part of the year. I have added a couple more TYPE 1 Photos to my collection below.

A). Roger Maris’ 61st HR taken by Olen. It is very interesting that Olen shot it from the rafters as he could have had any pick of a seat as a yankee photographer. I truly believe this is one of the greatest images of this historic day and am VERY happy to have added it to “The Vault”.



B). Gehrig portrait used for his 1941 memorial day ticket as well as the memorial at Yankee stadium. Definitely a defining portrait of Lou. It has some emulsion on his chin but for some reason it doesn't bother me as much as maybe it should. Perhaps it is because it is 1 of 3 examples known and didn't cost me 8k.

Ben,

Both really super photos and I have never seen the Maris, gives one a completely different perspective of that historic day!!!

You're a masochist dude. This place is a psychotherapists candy store.

And I'm the lead test patient.

Sweet Pennants! I might have given you a run for the money, if the Collins was an Athletics piece (instead of Chisox).

You did really well on these... Congrats!

I agree.. Old pennants are so neat. I collected them as a child. My father would bring one back for me on every business trip he took. When we took family trips to ballparks and/or vacations I would also pick one up whether it be Yankee stadium or Yellowstone park. I would love to get into them but just can't collect everything. They are beautiful pieces for sure...congrats!!

[mjkm90]

This piece was featured in another thread titles 1906 mirror. It never met reserve on ebay, so the owner an I agreed on a price. It belonged to his great Aunt in Chicago. I love it

[slidekellyslide]

Always loved that piece Mike...nice pickup. Congrats on your B Robby jersey Clint!

I picked this stuff up today in a lot from a local dealer...it's all related to the Lincoln Cleaning and Dye team that won the National Semi Pro championships in 1916.

[yanks12025]

Where did the Jackson bat sell?

[ksfarmboy]

Wow Dan, that was a sweet haul of pictures! Mike, I agree with Dan as I too have always liked those mirrors. I believe they are way under appreciated for the era they were made. Matt sweet Jackson bat. Congrats guys.

Atta boy Mike! Just great to see that you went on the offense for this terrific piece, instead of just waiting around to see if it got relisted. You get my vote for "Player of the Week"!

And Dan, what a fantastic follow up to your epic find of just a couple weeks ago! Those are some great images there. You've had quite a year and it ain't even half over yet!

Here are a couple of my most recent pick-ups. The First Sports Agent (and Babe was his first client!) Christy Walsh's brief professional autobiography entitled "Adios to Ghost" (regarding all the newspapermen he hired to ghostwrite stories for Ruth and many of the top players from that era) These were self published and consequently, are quite scarce. The few that I've seen have all been gifted and inscribed by Walsh. However, this example has a bonus... Walsh (whom was also a cartoonist) penned a terrific scene centered around the larger than life Bambino...

And I was very surprised when I came across this extremely rare 1968 Beatles/Yellow Submarine Candy Cigarettes empty box. Yellow Submarine Novelties made in England pale in comparison to their American counterparts, so finding this little gem was a huge find... for me anyway.

That candy cigarettes box is awesome. You're having a nice year too, Jimmy.

Thank You, Dan for the 1925 World Series photos, a picture of Glenn Wright from Historic Images and an antique shop pickup:

Did it have a 348 in it?

[carrigansghost]

307 when I got it, tried to find a 348 or 409, but settled for an LT1 350.
