Got the 1913/1914 Pittsburgh Pirates official scorekeeper scorebook. Could not believe it went as cheap as it did. 150 games pretty much all with Honus Wagner plus visiting players like Joe Jackson Mathewson maybe Thorpe. Love it. Plus the scorekeeper who recorded the games has a tie in to the T206 Wagner. That is an added bonus.

I got the 1916 White Sox panoramic, with 6 Black Sox on it including Shoeless Joe. I was surprised to be the only bidder on it!

Here's what I came away with... Heritage didn't picture the original Balfour Artwork that accompanies the 1937 WS Press Pin. As a result, I think it snuck through lots cheaper than it might have otherwise.
I was bitterly disappointed to lose out on the 1914 Braves Pennant. I had already cleared a giant space for it on the wall (in my mind anyway... not physically). It is probably the nicest (and biggest) felt pennant in existence. But it realized over $10,000.00 and the winning bidder appeared to have no limits. I really hated to bow out... hope it goes to a museum or other public venue in which people can view it |

Very happy to win this catcher's mitt:
"This is the mitt my father used to catch me when I was a kid--13-16 years old--on our farm near Van Meter, Iowa. It was this mitt he was using when I threw a fastball in 1934 that hit him in the chest and broke three ribs, as described in Time magazine April 19, 1937." - Bob Feller

Heritage win
I was very happy to pick up Johnny Vander Meer's personal copy of his 1938 Players Contract with the Reds from the Seth Swirsky collection. This was the year Vander Meer threw consecutive back-to-back no-hitters.
An interesting side note is that I actually now own two Vandy 1938 contracts: It's not widely known that Vandy had TWO contracts in 1938. The one that I purchased early last year was issued in January, 1938 and was a monthly contract for $500 a month. The Reds let Vandy know that if he was still on the roster by the All star break that they would issue him an annual contract. By late May it had become obvious that Vandy was pitching well enough in 1938 to warrant issuing the second contract. As a show of good faith, Warren Giles tore up the monthly contract that Vandy started out the year a month early and issued him the 2nd contract for $4,000 a year. This was the contract that Seth Swirsky owned and I just won. It's pretty neat because it preceded his unprecidented back-to-back no-hitter feat by a couple of weeks and marked the acknowlegement that he was a bona-fide major leaguer and was there to stay...

I was happy to win this CdV album with a beautiful baseball CdV photographed in New Mexico in 1867. This Baseball CdV is from the western most state I have ever seen.

Shaving Mug!
I was able to win this shaving mug. It will look very nice on display in my office.
Circa 1900 Baseball-Themed Occupational Shaving Mug. For those unfamiliar with the term, the "occupational shaving mug" is an artifact unique to the late 19th and early 20th century, when it was common for gentlemen to get their shaves at the local barber. Each patron had his own shaving mug, which was left at the barbershop on a shelf and used only when he would visit the establishment. Very often the patrons would pay an artist to have his name and an image of his profession handpainted on the side of the mug, and these mugs have become very popular with collectors of Americana for the simple, charming look they offer into the former owners' daily lives. Among the scarcest and most desirable of all occupational mugs are those celebrating our burgeoning National Pastime. This high-grade example features great crossed bat and ball imagery at center of golden flourishes, with the golden name of the owner below. No apparent maker's marks. No damage to note. |

Babe Ruth Knife
I also won this knife from the 1930's.
1935 Babe Ruth Quaker Oats Premium Pocket Knife. Issued in 1935 by the "Quaker Oats" company, this green variation pocket knife features a facsimile signature from baseball legend Babe Ruth. Measuring at 2.5", it remains uncracked, while exhibiting moderate oxidation throughout. |

Barry- I'll post a larger image when I receive the CdV and scan it. I'm not adept enough to enlarge this picture.
