June Pickups

[sicollector1954]

Picked these up at an auction....all of them date to somewhere between 1946-49 and all were members of the Washington Senators. Apparently these came from a collection of a former player named George Myatt. Interesting that several of these bats have been cut down to 33 inches in length...I have seen a Jackie Robinson gamer trimmed down and apparently before there were "cupped" ends, this was a practice...none of these guys had many plate appearances but probably hard to find if collecting and trying to complete a team set.

This lot of 8 framed Baseball Stars notebook covers that I won in Heritage's May auction arrived today (I asked Heritage to delay shipment because I was away from home for a while). I got this lot solely to add the WaJo to my collection of WaJo notebook covers. I am selling the other 7 covers - Ruth, Cobb, Sisler, Hornsby, Alexander, Edd Roush, and Carl Mays. If anyone is interested in one or more of these, kindly email me at ekehl333@aol.com. Here's the link to the Heritage Auction listing: https://sports.ha.com/itm/baseball/c...ription-071515

I picked up a couple of scrapbooks from 1933.

Some great articles and photos. I think I'm going to try to find the wire photos behind the newspaper clippings in the scrapbook.

The shibe park ticket was an unexcepted bonus.

Great pickup, Val! You might end up with the WaJo for free, or close to it! Not sure I've ever seen that one before.
