September Pickups

Those look great in the frames. I didn't know that Mike King Kelly was the subject of that film until I googled it. Me and my post war brain need to get out more

I agree, nice Greg!

Mike, I love the Pirates eye patch. That's a keeper, for sure!

Wonderful frames, Greg. And very cool pennants.

Beautiful frames/pennants, Greg.... What a stroke of luck, finding the perfect styles/sizes! Those two pennants are really unique!

And I LOVE that Pirates Eye Patch, Mike.... never seen one before... Gotta be one of very few remaining

Tying those two themes together (Pennants and that Eye Patch)... here's a pretty rare, circa 1960 Pirates Pennant with the same theme...

MLB auctioned off the 'Marineros' jerseys last night, from Seattle's 'Latin American Beisbol' night this year.

I only wanted one, but didn't understand how the auction worked, and ended up with three. Got the main one I wanted - Paxton - plus Seager and Carson Smith. The Cano was awesome - pine tar all over it, and I was able to photo-match it. Unfortunately, it went for $2,800 so I got out of the bidding early.

One of these three will be the one I wear to the playoffs this year. yeah, right

Very cool, Scott... and you never know.... 2 games out of the Wild Card with 3 to play. Stranger things have happened!

Who else did you get (besides Paxton?)

I got Seager and Carson Smith. Probably overpaid, especially after seeing this morning that they added tax , but my thinking is that they only used this design for one day, so probably more valuable than 'normal' game-used jerseys, so perhaps I can use them for trade bait if I get tired of them.

I really, really wish others hadn't been so interested in the Cano!
