cycling p/u
This c1890 Mettlach bicycle stein was a nice p/u...just came today off eBay...in my subjective opinion I think it's one of the top thee bicycle steins...I've done features on the other two, see links below...I'll disclose the three sided shot below is a different example than mine that I put together during the week prior to to get a good look at it...It's identical to mine except for the metal thumb lever is different...I prefer racing scenes but the art quality is there...I have other sports porcelain but I think this is the first traditional German beer stein I've ever owned. http://www.sportsantiques.com/c1900_...ycle_stein.htm http://www.sportsantiques.com/all_he...eler_stein.htm

It’s been well over 10 years I’ve chased after an image of the Topeka Goldsby Golden Giants and today I got one. This to me is the Honus Wagner of Kansas photos and anything else is a distant second. I couldn’t be happier and owe a big shout out to Jay Miller (oldjudge) for making it possible.

Thanks guys.
Carlton I’ll give you basically the short story. Topeka was growing quickly in 1887 with aspirations of becoming the next Chicago. Local business men hired Walt Goldsby as manager and gave him free reins to get the best players possible. Goldsby acquired several professional players, some of which had played on championship teams. The team was so good that attendance actually fell and they lost money. The team was broke up after the one season with most players returning to major league ball. Many of the players have old judge cards. They also played the future major league champs that year and beat them 2 out of 3. I’m not sure on the photo dimensions as I don’t have it in front of me. It is a little bigger than the standard cabinet card. The photo was by Downing out of Topeka with two basic versions. Downing made a horizontal style like mine and there was a more elaborate vertical style in standard cabinet form. I knew of both cabinets but had lost out in past auctions despite hefty bids. I was able to get my photo thanks to a thread started on the card side about what was the one card you would like to have if money was no object. The usual reply was A T206 Wagner but mine was the Topeka cabinet. A fellow board member saw my post and offered me the card. The rest as they say is history. What makes this card so incredible to me is anything 19th century baseball from Kansas is rare. Only two photos of this team are known and none of any other 19th century Kansas minor league teams. The great player selection with so many professionals puts it over the top. Clint
