photo pick ups
WM.C. Greene 1940's Berra, 1947 Al Rosen minor league, 1961 Santo, 1957 Nellie Fox, and the 1949 Campanella were picked up the end of December. For some reason I have struggled to find a nice photo of Santo so I am very pleased with this one. I try to limit myself to photos of members of the HOF but as a tribe fan I couldn't resist the early Rosen. The last photo features Oscar Charleston, King Tut, and Connie Morgan of the 1954 Clowns. It is my first pick up of 2013 and I couldn't be happier! I had planned on limiting my photo purchases this year but this photo is like that last great golf shot that keeps you coming back for more punishment.

Very Nice Card
Brian, Very cool diecut….a very idealistic depiction of a trolley….I know someone who’s very into Victorian and has a framed one of these on his wall….That trolley car is so fun looking I’d definitely want to ride up on the top level.…I like the spiral stairs to the top..and the wood slat bench….They need to bring those back horses and all!
I can’t make out all the signage….Visible is “Base Ball Match This Afternoon - Polo Grounds - New York vs. Cleveland”..and along the top “Central Park To”…and I can make out the word “High” along the bottom but it’s blurred after that….Wow…”no smoking”…very pc! What’s interesting is I searched on the web for surviving horse drawn double decker trolley cars and I started noticing all the images I found were of English ones…I believe most if not all the Victorian die cuts were produced in Europe, I think mainly Germany and England. Maybe New York City had double-decker trolley cars…but maybe not and the card was made in England or Germany for the American market…which was very common in the day. I recall two stories I’ve written involving Victorian die cuts in which I picked up a little on the subject…”Freddy’s Football”…and one on an 1890’s football player die cut. Two German companies who may have produced a die cut like this trolley would have been Ernest Nister and the other being Raphael Tuck and Sons. http://www.sportsantiques.com/1890FB...723859090/6489 http://www.sportsantiques.com/Freddy...1st%202009.htm Below are most of the images I could find of horse drawn double decker trolley cars…and they’re all English!

Thanks for those wonderful images, Carlton. What fun it would have been to ride them. My scanner washed out some of the detail, so here's a closer-up image of the wording.

A few I'm excited about
The small tigers pin isn't a big deal, but was missing from my collection. The large 1968 pin is veeeery rare. In fact, I don't believe I've seen another. Anyone else seen this size? Both are off ebay.
The Ruth fob is in outstanding condition and the Yankees version is very difficult to find. I'm pleased that the strap is in terrific condition as well. I found it two days ago in an antique mall for a terrific price   I love this Cubs pennant. In particular the heavy rich felt used in the making and the red/blue contrast. Picked this up on ebay.

Nice Cubs Pennant Mike... that's a toughie, and looks like a great example!
Here are a few of my recent pickups... 1. Schafer Vater Toothpick Holder, circa 1890s 2. Nifty Batter Trophy, circa 1935 3. Detroit Tigers Champs Pennant, circa 1940 (first and only example I've ever seen) 4. Unique Spalding Leather Football Helmet, circa 1920s/30s 5. Melon Style Football, circa late Teens 6. D & M Ad Sign...A Christmas Present to Myself

Great additions Mark! I almost went after that Tigers pennant. It's the first I've seen also. I'm glad you won it.

Yes- I should've known! Mike Egner gets the credit for making me aware of it (thanks Mike!) I think he was just looking for one of us to buy it, so he could establish a value for his soon-to-be-revised Pennant Price Guide
 Shooting you a PM right now...

Thanks Peter! I think this nasty flu has wiped out a portion of my brain as well as the rest of me
 Of course it was YOU that brought the Tiger Pennant to my attention. Mike E sent me some other pics, but I have you to thank for this one...I really appreciate it, and sorry for the brain lapse! Mark
