April pickups

[ooo-ribay]

Just picked up the guy on the right. My second most expensive bobbin' head ever. Why? It's kind of like the ordinary color base (center) but with a green base with decal, black embossing on the chest, a less yellow face and also no stripes on the sleeves. The 00 on the back is unpainted. The guy on left is also unusual. Also, green painted base (like the white square base) with the color base (orange) head but the body matches the green round base series (the ball and glove are different than the other two). My new guy makes 43 total 1960's SF Giants nodders, between the color base, white base, green base, Willie Mays and mini's.

As I said, the new guy wasn't cheap. I had seen a picture of this one (quite possibly the same doll) maybe 15 years ago. It hadn't arrived in 8 days and I asked the seller if it had shipped. He said "yes and it shows delivered 3/24 in Las Vegas." Ruh roh! I haven't lived in Vegas since 2010. Thank goodness I had the phone number of the woman who bought our Vegas house and thank goodness she still lives there. I got a hold of her and she shipped it to me. Note to self: keep address current for auction houses.

Nothing particularly special about this 1919 Cornell-Colgate football photo - but the brutal grimaces on all the faces really drew me in. They look like they have all been thru battle. I don’t think anyone was pulled out of this game for concussion protocol.

I am trying to get one autograph of each japanese HOFer and also have a few plaques. Does anyone know addresses to send players to in Japan? Would love to get more.
Mack is from 1934 Tour of Japan

Hey Michael,

Nice pickups! That Mack was mine. Hope you enjoy it.

If you are looking for some tougher Japanese HOF auto's, drop me a line. I have a bunch of 1931 Tour of Japan signed photos which have a mix of US and Japanese players including some of the earliest and in my understanding, toughest HOFers. (I also have a collection of 20+ 1934 US Tour of Japan photos of just American players, similar to the Mack)

I think that is a great photo.

Wow nice pickup! I didn't know there were so many variations from the 60's alone!

This is a cool piece. Love it when sport and celebrity collide. Not sure why, but when I read this was Charlie Sheen’s hat, I immediately thought of the Seinfeld episode where George buys “John Voight’s” car.

For some reason when I see Sheen in the picture I think of Steve Bartman, infamous Cubs fan.
