Show your Cooperstown/HOF memorabilia

[sayhey24]

It's induction weekend at the Hall of Fame -- let's see some vintage artifacts from Cooperstown and the Hall of Fame.
I just purchased this check signed twice by Elihu Phinney (the son) who owned the cow pasture where legend says baseball was born (emphasis on the word legend). Phinney's farm would eventually become Doubleday Field.
It's the only piece of Phinney memorabilia I've ever come across, so I was happy to add it to the collection.

Not the best pic from a camera phone but for a pinback collector, this one is hard to beat...

Letter and envelope tickets to fly to Hall of Fame to get inducted were sent in.

Great stuff guys -- amazing Wheat items Kenny!

Here is one of the handful of road signs that were put up at the entrances to Cooperstown for the 1939 induction -- one of my favorite pieces. It has metallic reflective paint, so the flash makes it look a little strange.
Also a nice broadside for the 1953 induction of Dizzy Dean and Al Simmons.
