Michael,

You're killing me with these great pieces. The color on that Marathon ad is fantastic; love it!

Small Rip ad.

Thanks Mark! If you have never seen the Marathon beer sign up close, the green background is made of felt. I don't know if their other signs were made similarly or not but on a baseball themed sign it resembles freshly cut stadium grass

Derek, I am in awe of your Reggie pieces and am currently drooling on my keyboard.

Mike

Hey Derek, I owned both of those Reggie items at one time! If you ever want to let go of the Reggie bar piece let me know, that's one of the few pieces I've ever sold that I really miss.

[kid4hof03]

Thanks for the kind words guys. I will post a few more tonight, I've got a lot of Gary Carter ad posters and displays as well as a few more Staubach's.

Mine are pretty much easy to attain.

The Helmar is a recent pickup.



The Turkey Red and Egyptienne Straights are favorites of mine.



I couldn't resist the Pabst display since it went really cheap - no one wanted it - think I paid 24 bucks for it. And, again, another favorite - the Piedmont chair.



I had closeups of these on photo bucket - a real friend to collectors - so I'm gonna have to find another way to post in the future where a web doesn't "host" them.

I've never seen the particular Marathon sign. When I saw the item it reminded me of a picture of Brooks from the '70 WS taken by Mort Tadder. It was the first WS played on artificial surface (astroturf) at the new Riverfront Stadium. The picture I took doesn't do it justice, but it has a cool looking background. Unsure why some of these pictures are sideways; sorry.
