That Rockford Peaches pic is awesome... here’s my latest Sosnak, becoming sort of an obsession at this point.

Thanks much! I guess it sometimes helps to live near Rockford as occasionally things for this team sometimes surface....identified all of the players/manager/chaperone in this photo. One only played a short time for Rockford in 1946...her name is Lee Surkowski--helped them get to the Shaughnessy finals that year but lost in 6 games.....turns out she is still around at the young age of 94!

For decades I've thoroughly enjoyed collecting 60s era White Sox game worn/used memorabilia. During that time batting helmets have been difficult for me to find. Tickled to recently add this battled scarred mid-to-late 60s example to the collection

Congrats Bob!

Awesome Ruth!

That would look fantastic broken out of the slab, and framed/matted with a vintage photo of the Babe. Beautiful auto!

Picked this up in RMY last night. 1911 or 1912 type 1 of Frank Schulte crossing the plate. Looks like it might be right after a very rare over the fence home run (could also be a ground rule double too I guess). At any rate got it for far below my high so kudos to RMY for putting on a legit auction!

Here you go Ben, this is the bat I was REALLY waiting for!

Joe DiMaggio (Hornsby) model H117; circa 1951-52. PSA calls it Pro Stock since it doesn't match his personal ordering records (D29L); but specifically describes "heavy" left barrel contact and ball marks, and the weight is notated on the knob.

Mears gave it a base grade of A8, but deducted a point for the back barrel restoration, so final grade A7. The back barrel looks fantastic, and you can barely tell though.

I think this is as close as I am going to get for a Joe D. gamer without selling a kidney!

Awesome bat, maybe you could sell a B349 bat with a killer nice flame burned finish to help pay for this one.

I would rather sell the kidney!

GREAT PHOTO... Early pro basketball items are so scarce. And it looks to be in great Condition. Congrats.

I try to collect almost anything from the 1977-1978 Jersey Indians. I thought these 2 tickets were pretty interesting.
