September Pick Ups

[71buc]

September has started well for me. I'm certain I'm the only collector in the world who is thrilled by original photos of Murtaugh, Tavares, Clines and thier ilk. Nonetheless, I picked up this nice grouping and couldn't be happier. Thanks for indulging me.

Cool scorecard with Federal League scores, etc. Also happens to be the day George "Iron" Davis throws a no-hitter for the Miracle Braves during their September run. It was 1 of his only 7 career wins!

Wow, that's a great pickup at that price! Nice!
Here is a nice example of Iron Davis's autograph.

Very cool, Scott! As a fellow Buffalonian, I had to have it. If only Warren Spahn's memorabilia wasn't so expensive (comparatively).

Iron Davis's autograph is pretty rare, but I will let you know if I see one come available in the hobby.

Super nice Federal League!

Was getting a bit tired of cards, so venturing into tickets:-D

I usually don’t post my pick-ups, but I love this one. I actually got it in Chicago early last month and I am just posting now.

It is the original mock-up of the 1919 World Champion Cincinnati Reds players used for the 1920 Spalding National League guide. They are all type 1 Charles Conlon photos. I seem to have an aversion to larger items and I had to make an exception for this one. It is 20” x 13.5”.

With thanks to Huggins & Scott, I received a few more m114s to bring my total up to 1036. The Mantle is the third different pose that I am aware of in the set.

This is really cool. Love it.

I have been expanding into game used hockey a little bit. Very excited to add this 1999 game of my boyhood idol Patrick Roy to the collection. Special thAnks to Mike Kaminsky for the fair price and exceptional service.

Thanks Ben! I almost missed it. I probably walked past it three times without seeing it throughout the day. I caught a glimpse of it as I was heading toward the door. I am happy that I zigged instead of zagged down another aisle.

I raced through your very impressive collection related to the 1971 Pirates. However, I didn't see (might've skipped over it) any focus on the 1 September game, which will surely (IMO) be remembered longer than any other occurrence during that season, with the possible exception of the Bucs winning the WS.

Just looked up that game. I’m missing its significance.

[Michael B]

The Pirates started an all Black lineup, the first in MLB history. I do not follow baseball, but I remember this being mentioned on this site before, probably by 71buc. That lineup, which took the field on September 1, was Rennie Stennett, Gene Clines, Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, Manny Sanguillén, Dave Cash, Al Oliver, Jackie Hernández, and Dock Ellis.

[71buc]

Thanks for the kind words. On page 3 after Al Oliver you will find this scored program to the game. The ticket stub is one of the most desired yet elusive items on my want list. However, I have to believe that the program is much more rare. There were 11278 in attendance I doubt even a third of them purchased a program and scored the game.

My first "Kreindler". Thanks Mike (& Graig).

That game was the first ever started by a lineup comprised of nine players of color.

[Fredskinz]

This was from Hoot’s personal collection, so it’s the first time being seen. Amazing work and detail on this one. Enjoy...

[GaryPassamonte]

I recently picked up this great twine wound handle 1860s bat from a board member. The bat is either white pine or willow and is 39.5 inches long. Super condition.

[Bill Rayburn]

WOW Gary...Love that bat!!!!!!!

[ooo-ribay]

Sean/Fred/Gary = GREAT stuff!!

[JoeDfan]

WOW!
What a bat!

[Ribbens]

Purchased this baseball from England including the box. NBA Official Royal Match Ball - produced in Japan. Anyone know the year this might have been used ?

[packs]

Picked up one of John Sterling's scorecards from a Yankees broadcast. Never seen one of these before:

[JoeDfan]

Picked up this really cool piece (circa 1924) for my Maine collection. I have only ever seen one other certificate, and that was in the Maine History archives. But I know nothing about old stock certificates, so I have no idea if it is really rare or not.

Worumbo was a wool mill in Maine, most famous for producing the "keystone cops" uniforms of the New York City police department, and other high end fashions. And apparently, their baseball team was good enough to make the National Semi-Pro baseball tournament twice. Eddie Waitkus played for them before he was shot by the stalker lady.

Does anyone know anything more about these?

"Those bronze boxing pieces are incredible!"

Thanks. One more to close the month; this one is 100 mm tall and is an amateur boxing award by A. Deudonne, ca. 1945-1950.

[ooo-ribay]

Love the Royal Match ball, the scorecard and the stock certificate!
