November Pickup Thread

[mr2686]

Happy to start the month off with some Catfish Hunter win ticket stubs.
First one, Aug 15, 1965 had a pretty good attendance of 21,441 and saw Jim win his 4th career game.
Second is from Oct 2, 1966 at Tiger Stadium. Only 5,364 saw Jim win his 15th big league game.
Third is from Sept 27, 1969 in which he won his 53rd career game in front of only 5,468 fans.
The last two are significant because of their low attendance...both having almost a thousand less in attendance than when Catfish pitched his perfect game. Many of his early win tickets are a challenge due to such poor attendance, so I rate this a pretty good weekend.

Oh, I get it. No, I think that was the season ticket price for whatever package that ticket was part of.

I posted this in the football section but it is a new pickup.....An unusual one for me.

Came in mail today made by Don Droke .

A neat pickup this month. A game used bat of one of my personal favorites, Brian Daubach.

I remember thinking he had a great future at first base with the Red Sox.

Until some guy named Big Papi came along.

Cool bat but not the one I expected to see.

This one was WAY cheaper than that one!

I think it is in the mail. Will post a pic of that one when it arrives!

Picked up this 1920’s D&M 3” salesman sample baseball glove today. Pretty nice condition.

Picked up this 1946 late in season original Rockford Peaches team photo at a local antique mall.

Great pick up!!!

[Fredskinz]

That Rockford Peaches pic is awesome... here’s my latest Sosnak, becoming sort of an obsession at this point.

[sicollector1954]

Thanks much! I guess it sometimes helps to live near Rockford as occasionally things for this team sometimes surface....identified all of the players/manager/chaperone in this photo. One only played a short time for Rockford in 1946...her name is Lee Surkowski--helped them get to the Shaughnessy finals that year but lost in 6 games.....turns out she is still around at the young age of 94!

For decades I've thoroughly enjoyed collecting 60s era White Sox game worn/used memorabilia. During that time batting helmets have been difficult for me to find. Tickled to recently add this battled scarred mid-to-late 60s example to the collection

[Vintage Yankee]

Congrats Bob!

[LOUCARDFAN]

Picked this beauty up last week.

Great helmet Bob!

Awesome pickup, Bob! Very cool
Congrats!

Here you go Ben, this is the bat I was REALLY waiting for!

Joe DiMaggio (Hornsby) model H117; circa 1951-52. PSA calls it Pro Stock since it doesn't match his personal ordering records (D29L); but specifically describes "heavy" left barrel contact and ball marks, and the weight is notated on the knob.

Mears gave it a base grade of A8, but deducted a point for the back barrel restoration, so final grade A7. The back barrel looks fantastic, and you can barely tell though.

I think this is as close as I am going to get for a Joe D. gamer without selling a kidney!

From the rare world of early Pro Basketball - The 1921-22 Brooklyn Pros team photo. Includes two future Hall of Famers, 19 year old Honey Russell and coach John O'Brien. Comes from the estate of player George Smith.

Awesome bat, maybe you could sell a B349 bat with a killer nice flame burned finish to help pay for this one.

I try to collect almost anything from the 1977-1978 Jersey Indians. I thought these 2 tickets were pretty interesting.

[Jcosta19]

Beautiful pick up! How does it sound?

[TUM301]

Too my surprise, the music was for " The Sultans Of Swing".

I would rather sell the kidney!

That would look fantastic broken out of the slab, and framed/matted with a vintage photo of the Babe. Beautiful auto!

[milkit1]

Picked this up in RMY last night. 1911 or 1912 type 1 of Frank Schulte crossing the plate. Looks like it might be right after a very rare over the fence home run (could also be a ground rule double too I guess). At any rate got it for far below my high so kudos to RMY for putting on a legit auction!

Cool photo!

Thrilled to finally add a c1957 Motorola Bob Feller Baseball to my collection! This example is unused and complete with original box and wrapper and in fantastic condition! There are two side panels picturing Bob Feller who was spokesman for Motorola at the time. About as good as it gets!

I loved Brian Daubach! Came in super clutch numerous times.
