Busy: Wilmington, MA GBSCC Show; 11/5-11/7

It was a great show as usual! I had a great time seeing friends and amazing items. I was there every day walking around the show. I sold some items, traded some, and bought the items pictured below (I traded for the bats). I think this was my best show for purchases ever. I got the early women's basketball team photo, Ruth magazine, glove box, and the color 19th century paper item on Friday, the bats (including a 1930s Ruth store model and an acorn knob type), Ruth strip card, and Harvard player cabinet card on Saturday and the early balls on Sunday.

I am most excited about the early balls. One is close to a full size lemon peel, one is an early figure eight hand stitched, and the two smaller ones have odd stitching (one has no visible stitching). I have never had the opportunity to purchase that many early balls in one lot, and they fit in my collection perfectly.
