Won this photo of the 1904 Giants in the recent REA. Matty was taking a leak behind the fence when the picture was taken. Good thing too or the price would have gone stratospheric.

And people say pro wrestling is scripted. Ha! If they only knew.

Carl Hubbell payroll check when he worked as a Giants exec.
I have many others of 1950's players, sorry no Mays.

Letter to Ken Smith, formerly writer for the The NY Graphic and then the NY Mirror, future Head of the Baseball HOF, and JG Taylor Spink award winner(BB HOF for writers).


Souvenir signature sheet from the 1951 Giants


Letter from Horace Stoneham (That moron rat bastard. Sorry. Somebody had to say it. He could've had all the NY NL fans if he hadn't followed O'malley.) to Hans Lobert inviting him back to the Polo Grounds for a Final Game Celebration. After that is the plaque that was given to Hans as a memento of the final game. I assume it was given to all dignitaries/attendees, but have never seen another. Both came from the collection of Hans Lobert.

Forgot one.

I don't have many older Giants collectibles but here's a scarce pinback for Hal Schumacher - Thirteen seasons in N.Y. beginning at age 20 in 1931.

Here's a 1947 New York Giants cap from my collection.

It was worn by Hank Gowdy, who was with the Giants three times during his career from 1910–1911, 1923–1925 and 1947-1948 as a coach. He was the only major league player that served in both World Wars (as to my knowledge). Furthermore, he was also a member of the 1914 Miracle Braves.

(The cap is in pretty perfect condition for its age)

Wow.... beautiful Cap!

Here is some of my early Giants stuff...

Here's a neat original photo of Hans Lobert manning third base on opening day 1915. Check out the detail in the close up. That's a ballplayer:

Love both the Doyle and Lobert photos!
