July Pickups

[JLange]

This month has turned up some fantastic items for my various Cleveland Baseball collections.

1. 1948 Fahrland Fuel Co. Cleveland Indians "Pocket Wallet " Schedule
2. 1950s Royal Castle Hamburgers 8x10 Premium with Jimmy Dudley and Vic Wertz
3. 1961 Carrollton Playgrounds Boosters Club (New Orleans) Baseball Awards Night program, with Jim Piersall on the cover w/ autograph

I am a sucker for event programs with Cleveland Baseball stars on the cover. In this case, Jim Piersall was invited to present the award to the City Champs for 1961, the "Holsum Sunbeams," winners in the 11yr old division. Jim Piersall played for the Cleveland Indians from 1959-61 and is depicted in his Cleveland uniform. On Oct 5. 1961 he was traded to the Washington Senators. As this Baseball Awards Night took place end of October 1961, they kept the Cleveland pic but took care to note his new team.

If anyone has any other event programs with Cleveland ballplayers in particular, I am interested!

Guys...........I'm thrilled to have picked up this 1929 Purdue Big 10 Champions pillow case this morning at an antique show. The colors and condition are fantastic with only a few small moth holes in the felt. It measures almost 2 feet square including the tassels. And the best part is that my wife loves it, too! Do folks usually frame these, as it's a little thick?

It's been a looong time since I've picked up anything. Found this 'gem' the other day. It's small which is why I picked it up. It's 1 size up from a gem (1/2" x 1") ie 1/16 plate (1 5/8" x 2 1/8"). If I ever wanted to do a tintype run to compete with all the T206 guys on the other side of the house, I'm confident that I'd have a near set of all sizes (including a few gems) except for full plate

It's mounted between two different card stocks. I'm certain that I've seen this exact player in another format/size but unable to find it on google atm.

I don't post a lot of new acquisitions, but man am I psyched to have this.

Picked this up at the last RMY auction. Love the photo and if this is really signed I would be super excited. Did some quick research and found an Andy Cooper card signed from and auction and a ball signed by the team with Biz Mackey and signatures look pretty close.

PS: My photos are too large, so hopefully this link works.

I picked up these over sized photos in Pittsburgh while at the Clemente Museum. Although they aren’t type 1s they are printed off the original negatives and I thought they were attractive enough to share here.
