JULY pickups

[ooo-ribay]

As 71buc will attest, sometimes it's the seemingly mundane pickups that can make you happy. After 20 years (literally) of looking, I finally found the orange variation of "We're #1." The white and orange variation turns up on ebay maybe 4X a year.

Around a thousand, but I've sold a few here and there.

Bill Zinser Brooklyn Dodgers scout who first discovered Sandy Koufax in May 1954 and invited him to Ebbets Field for tryout. Original scouting report filled out and dated by Bill Zinser…One of a kind item...

It says "PLAYER should fill out this side." Are you sure Sandy didn't fill it out?

[koufax1fan]

Graig and Rob thanks very much for your kind words. Rob,the scouting report was definitely filled out by Brooklyn Scout Bill Zinser. The item is pictured and described in (2) Sandy Koufax autobiographies . It is pictured in Jane Leavy's book and described in Edward Gruver …

To say I'm thrilled about this one is an understatement. Size is approximately 3'x5'. Colors are far more vibrant than the photo portrays.

Here's two of the first pieces I found since moving to Montreal.
1. Tigers pennant. Not sure of the vintage, but glad to find it.
2. Gorgeous late 19th century bat?
The bat is 35 3/4 in length, with just the very top of the barrel and knob painted black. There also seems to have been a thin ring of grey paint near the top of the barrel?

Great photo!

Picked up this cabinet of what I believe to be an integrated team a while back, but just got around to scanning it. Can anyone narrow down an estimated time period? I was thinking 20's?

[YankeeFan]

I've had a few Yankee Stadium seats in the past, but had to sell for various reasons.

I've been wanting to get another for a couple of years now, and finally found one with a good combination of condition and price!
It's complete, solid, sturdy and has some chips here and there in the blue paint where the old green shows through.
The guy I bought this from showed me pictures of himself and his Dad at the last pre-renovation game on 9/30/1973, a game which I also attended with my Dad.
I'm very happy to have one of these again.

Steven - Given the uniform style, Cadet Collar, I would put it pre-1920, say closer to 1910-1915.

My collection has a new(well 3) Best items. My son's first 3 Little League Home Run Balls!! He hit them all out in the last 2 weeks of June. Not bad for 9!! Yes, I'm bragging!! Oh and I finally got my Matty("His Favorite Photo") from RMY.

Always wanted one of these. 2013 main field home plate from yankee stadium. Yankees went 5-2 during a 7 game homestand. Some big things during this homestand included 2 walk off wins, 2 blown saves by Rivera, A-rod first homer of 2013, Miguel Cabrera 3 homeruns, Mike Trout several hits including a homer and Alfonso Soriano became only the third live ball ERA player to have back to back 6 plus RBI games. He ended up hitting 5 homers during this homestand.
