January Pickups

[CarltonHendricks]

19" wide x 11" tall x 6 1/2" deep
Picked this up a week ago at the Glendale Show...plus picked up some non sport stuff that you can read about here for the long version. It's motorized and it has a stem that sticks out the top that turns to display a ball...so now I'm looking for a vintage Voit basketball...though I'm tempted to stick something on there really old, though wouldn't match the display

I also picked up another pretty good piece earlier this month...but it's related to the Bailey plaque, so may post it there.

Just picked up this Dr. Jayne's Expectorant Baseball Folder circa 1910.
The shortstop bottom right looks like Wagner to me.

After spending some time sifting through a thousand or so auctions on ebay, I came across this...

and I bought this last year, a stub from DiMaggio's Major League Debut...

this is the first photo of any TYPE from his debut that I've ever seen. Since he started off the year on the DL for a few weeks, no one knew when he was going to start playing, which is why anything from this game is extremely scarce.

Obviously, I'm happy as a pig in SH*T over this one.

Regards, Jimmy

No where near prewar, but I picked up a large grouping of press passes and pins from the early 70s at an estate auction. The estate owner worked for a sports communications company and attended a ton of sporting events ranging from 1972 to 1976, including world series games, superbowls, NCAA tournaments, college bowl games, NBA all star games, and many golf and tennis tournaments. One of the neater items, is a Arnold Palmer signature on a small piece of letterhead for the 1974 PGA championship. There are also press passes to the 1976 World Series and NLCS, and boxing press passes to a couple of Ali fights, and Frazier Foreman fight.
