Congrats Mark! Looks like we both scored. I picked this up from the same auction.

[mrreality68]

Congrats Chris and Mark

and thanks for the fast start to the month

Those are two great looking pieces and both make a statement

Another Saints bat. This one is a beater, but I haven't seen another Alex Gaston before.

Nice Bat! Mine just came in the mail yesterday...an Eddie Ainsmith 1910-1915 gamer with a letter from Taube to boot. Besides collection vintage game bats, the tie to this player is that in 1947 he was the manager of the Rockford Peaches which I also collect. A great vault bat and I love the 100 plus bat nails on the backside.

Awesome Chris!

That one landed in the right place for sure. What a dynamic Reds display piece... never seen another one of those. Great pickup!

Great stuff! So much better than cards!

Actually an August pick up. Leather wrapped handle bat 34", circa 1860s/1870s. Barrel has "TECH" impressed on it. Remarkable, uncracked condition. Thanks to a board member for making it available to me.

[perezfan]

Wow Gary! Those early leather-wrapped handle bats are rarer than hens' teeth. What a score.... and in beautiful condition, no less. Just fantastic!

Picked up this rare Fred Lynn gamer from 1973-75. Has model number M110, so it matches his records from 1975 (ROY & MVP year).

Beauty of a bat. Interesting that it is rare.

Picked up these 3 today at local card show. Show was about 50/50 Baseball / Pokemon so I was surprised to find these...

Sometimes you think you made a great find for $20 and then you are happy and sad

I'm happy to have recently picked up this beautiful Steve Busby 1st no hitter ticket stub from the game played on 4/27/73 @ DET.
Busby and the KC Royals defeated LP Jim Perry and the Tigers 3-0.

O/T but ironically, Tigers pitcher Jim Perry ended up being the LP in a second no-hitter less than 3 months later on 7/15/73 @ DET.
The 7/15 no-hitter was the career best 17K 2nd of 7 no-hitters for HOF Nolan Ryan, the all-time No-Hit King.

Busby would pitch another no-hitter the following year, on 6/19/74 @ MILW.

Despite the 4/27/73 Busby no-hitter having over 16,000 in attendance, I have found this ticket to be unbelievably difficult to find.
In 50 years of collecting this theme I have only seen 4 ticket stubs enter the hobby, this one being the nicest example condition-wise.

Way to go, Scott!

Nice photo and great subject matter.

Looks good either way to me
