December Pickups

After 6 agonizing weeks of worry about this item it finally arrives. Was sent to a third party shipper after I won it. I figured it would take two weeks max to get to me...after three I started to worry, especially when I noticed the UPS tracking number was cancelled. Had to call and get the new tracking number and waited and waited. Saw that number too was cancelled a few weeks later. After lots of phone calls I got a new FedEx tracking number and here she is. This thing is a monster. Louis Van Oeyen "Postergraph". According to Hunt Auctions they believe these were player presentation items as the only other one they had was from the Smokey Joe Wood estate. That is a full size baseball bat next to the photo.

Outstanding "postergraph"! Agonizing was probably a huge understatement while waiting for this piece to arrive. I would have been a nervous wreck
Glad it arrived safe and sound for you! Outstanding piece!! Congrats

Thanks guys. Trying to figure out where to hang it now, I'm afraid my walls won't hold it, it's pretty heavy.

I found this Cardinals scorecard over the weekend and bought it because of the signatures on the back and I noticed that a young Ernie Banks was penciled into the lineup. Went to Baseball Reference to get the actual game date and I discovered that this was the game where Banks hit his first career home run - September 20, 1953. Pleasantly surprised

I make out Sal Yvars, Steve Bilko, Harvey Haddix, and the one and only "Vinegar Bend" Mizell. Can't opine as to the authenticity of the sigs but very cool program all the same.
