[khkco4bls]

just picked up yankee turnstile from the old stadium from dealer in NJ. Complete turnstile with the wheels. usually just get the stand up part. In great cond. Carlton i know you talked about these a while ago. I got a great deal.

[Bugsy]

Another bat from a St. Paul Saints player, Mark Koenig, though this one is just a catalog model.

Finished one part of Angels pennant collection by picking up this 1967 All-Star pennant. I really wish they would have moved the Big A back into left field when the stadium was renovated.

Great Pennant (and a real toughie!)

I felt that way too.... was really hoping they would move the "A" back where it belongs. The renovation was pretty neat, but that classic Big A in Left Field was magical. I can still recall Lee Stanton hitting one of the legs of the "A" on 2 bounces. A mammoth blast!

1938 Cincinnati Post special All Star Edition featuring NL starting pitcher Johnny "Double No-Hit" Vander Meer.

This might look pretty cool framed up with my ticket stub from the game...
Whattya think?

[bobfreedman]

This is a three piece shaving kit that dates back to the turn of the century I believe.

[David Atkatz]

That's not turn-of-the-century, Bob. More like 1950s.

Very cool piece and an excellent companion to the ticket. Is there a stub you don't have!?

Thanks Mike! There might be a couple...
I guess that's a bi-product of collecting the baseball ticket theme continuously for 40 years!

[mjkm90]

I've been after this pin for a while and was very happy with the bargain price of $41.00 on ebay!!!



This 3" pin has been veeery tough to track down.

[mjkm90]

Dave is right on Bob. I've seen a few of these over the years. Definately 40s or 50s, BUT still great pieces, so be excited

Scott may have all the stubs, but he is still missing the Mariners' organic compositing bucket that was given out on the day of Humber's perfect game. I am holding out for big bucks for that one

[mcgwirecom]

I liked this one. Bob Feller made his debut with the Indians in July of 1936 at the age of 17. Then he went back to finish High School in Van Meter, Iowa. This was taken in December 1936 in school. He had already struck out 17 batters in one game at the age of 17! And went 5-3 with a 3.34 ERA.

Agreed. Cool piece. I imagine its difficult to find a complete set.

[vintagesportflips]

This past weekend my dad, my son and I spent the day hitting an estate auction and an antique/paper show, and the three generations of us were all pretty excited by our pickups. First at the estate auction, what had been billed as some old baseballs turned out to be well worth stopping by for. The cream of the crop was a 1928 Philadelphia Athletics team signed ball featuring Cobb, Speaker, Mack etc; for some reason signed on a Spalding National League ball. Then at the paper show, I met up with a fellow Carlisle Indians collector and worked out a trade that we were both happy with - I ended up with a circa 1910 Carlisle Lacrosse team photo, a Carlisle football team photo (most likely a shop team), and a Letter award for playing Lacrosse that is signed by Pop Warner. The most exciting find of the show beside that trade was a very attractive Dieges & Clust Figural Baseball Plaque dated to 1916. Overall a pretty fun day.

[vintagesportflips]

I posted this on the autograph forum earlier, but figured I would post as a reply to my previous post here, since I picked this ball up with the 28 A's ball.
One of the other balls that came with this Pesky ball included a 1945 dated baseball signed by various servicemen stationed at Pearl Harbor. The ball in question is a Reach Harridge model ball, with a US Navy stamping. It has 2 signatures, 1 of which is Johnny Pesky. I was curious if any recognizes the second signature? Based on its inclusion with the Pearl Harbor ball, my theory is that a Navy serviceman had Pesky sign this ball in 1945, since Pesky was also stationed at Pearl Harbor at the time. The 2nd signature might not be a player at all, but figured I would pick the brains of the auto experts over here.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Keith

Was very happy when this arrived yesterday!

[gnaz01]

Was happy to get this off the 'Bay for a paltry sum. Has double significance for me as I am from the State College, PA. area AND it was made by the Honus Wagner Sporting Goods Company

Thanks for the clarification on the dates guys, is this a complete set then or are the other pieces to it? Thanks again

Yesterday's antique show haul...heading back today as one dealer told me he's been holding some stuff for me and he forgot it at home. Will show a pic of that stuff later.

[Scott Garner]

Here are 3 new pickups to show:

1) 1937 Wheaties box panel of HOF'er Ernie Lombardi. He caught Johnny Vander Meer's consecutive no-hitters in 1938

2) 1940 World Series game 5 ticket stub. This game would prove to be Vander Meer's only appearance in the October classic. Vandy pitched 3 shutout innings in relief.

3) 1972 Bob Moose Testimonial program. Bob Moose no-hit the Miracle Mets in NY on 9/20/69. He ironically died suddenly in 1976 while getting into a two car crash in OH heading to his own 29th birthday party at Bill Mazeroski's house.

I picked up this wonderful image from a fellow member. Thanks Gary!

I recently picked up a few items from Pirate Bob Moose’s estate. They include his 1971 Pirates team travel Blazer with matching tie, and a tankard commemorating the 1971 Pirates World Series Championship. Each member of the team was given a tankard. The wire photo shows Moose (left) and Bruce Kison (right) leaving Memorial Stadium shortly after game seven. In the background of the photo is Bob Prince who had chartered a helicopter to deliver Kison to his wedding which was scheduled that same afternoon. Moose served as the best man. Although it is difficult to see, if you look closely at Kison’s blazer it appears to be similar to the one I purchased. Moose is carrying his own Blazer. Obviously I cannot be certain that it is the same jacket. However, it may not be a strecth to assume so. Bob Moose died tragically on October 9, 1976 in a car accident. He was traveling to a party being held at Bill Mazeroski’s house to celebrate his 29th Birthday.

Mike,
Those Bob Moose items are unbelievable!
What a terrific pickup for your Pirates collection. Congrats!

Now I've had this photo for a couple years now, and when I saw Ben's photo pop up on Legendary's last auction, I did a double take. I knew it wasn't the same image and after looking at them now side by side for the first time, I see it's not from the same swing like I had originally thought, but it's certainly from the same time.

I brought it to Ben's attention and he said "I've seen that image before... the Lou Gehrig Comic Book!" And sure enough, a quick search on ebay confirmed it. Well, I've sold and traded most of my companion pieces but something tells me I may need to make an exception here.

Thanks Ben. You doubled the value of my photo!



Here's my photo and Ben's...

Mike, nice pickups and great story to go along with them.

[Shoeless Moe]

Picked this up recently, for sale on Ebay or send me a message here, will sell for less then I have it up for.

I have always wanted an example of this 1949 poster. It features the 1948 Tribe and 11 members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. I picked this one up fairly cheaply due to a few condition issues. They really don't detract from the piece and will be covered when the poster is matted and framed.

Pre-October but just scanned. I think it would make a nice T-shirt.

Those are just awesome! Brings back kid memories... watching those Pirate teams back then were great...I still remember the thrill of seeing them vs my Giants at Old Candlestick... Bob died much too young...

This is pre-October for me also, it's 9x14 and I haven't been able to locate a scanner big enough to scan, so please excuse the watermark. See if you can pick out the 15 yr old future member of the 3000 hit club and future Hall of Famer.

[chas]

Al Kaline, second from left?

[sayhey24]

Looks like Al Kaline second from left?

Yep. Here is the back of the photo.

Very nice pick up Ryan, there cannot be very many copies of that shot out there.

That's a good one, as long as you're only scanning flat items. Best value I've found for oversized items. My only complaint is that if you are scanning something with "depth" to it (including anything in a hard slab), it doesn't focus well. As long as your photo is flat on the glass though, it works well.
