August pickups

[GaryPassamonte]

Rob- The body of the baseball player opens at the waist. There is also a football player that opens at the neck with just the head coming off. The ones I have seen have been described as candy dishes or holders. They are constructed like a bisque doll. I do know that there are very few of either type.

Gary,

It was great seeing you at the National! Thanks for your help! I did wind up picking up the Football candy container!

Glenn

It's always a pleasure, Glenn. I'm glad you were able to get the football player.

Picked up this pin and mini pennant up off of ebay. I think the pennant has the worst representation of a bear I have ever seen. I think it is more like a raccoon.

[ooo-ribay]

Roger, that. I think "holder" would be more appropriate.

Here's something you don't everyday, at least not for me (poor cell phone pic). 1928 Frank "Shag" Shaughnessy Detroit Tigers road uniform. One year style and a very interesting individual to boot:

Lots of great pickups by everyone so far this month. Love all those early baseball memorabilia items you picked up Bob. Dave, some outstanding clothing/uniform items as well. I also love that SF Giants money bag, it is one of the most unique items I've ever seen posted here. What a month!

I got this off of ebay and it just came in the mail today. I have one already, but I set a super low snipe bid on it and shockingly won it.

I am beyond excited to have just found this super Minty Cubs nodder today. This guy has an amazing collection of all three sports. I have never seen a better example and the price was excellent

Mike that one is really nice! Great pick up...

[Joe Hunter]

WOW Mike, beautiful bobblehead!

Picked this up after bugging a fellow board member for about a year.

Thanks Mike, if it's any consolation, I am shaped like a roll .

I haven’t posted an addition to my 1971 Bucs collection for quite a while. For some reason I have been in a bit of a dry spell. I know my focus is a bit narrow and probably only interests me but what the heck.

Great stuff, Mike! And I think you're very lucky to have a "narrow" focus. It lets you concentrate and I'd bet you have a pretty specific wantlist.
