Hartland Lamp

[perezfan]

WOW.... that must be a record for signed Hartlands! So 3 of yours are NOT autographed... Ruth and which other two (if you don't mind my asking?) I am guessing Ruth, Fox, and Maris?

Hartlands were my first love within the hobby, but once I acquired them all (sans The Confrontation- which I would never want, given the price) there wasn't much further I could go. I also became disillusioned when the Dallas hartlands came down so much in price. I acquired the Cobb when it cost $1,200 and now it sells for maybe $700 on a very good day. That was a great idea to go after autographed ones.

My only two autographed ones are the Dodgers (Drysdale and Snyder). I'm thinking that Drysdale has to be getting valuable, as he was among the first to pass away (and I bet not very many got signed).

You are correct. My Ruth, Fox, and Maris are the ones not signed. I also have all the Dallas and Missouri Hartlands too including the Confrontation piece (no box there though). My Feller is autographed too. I bought most of those about 14 years ago. The Hartlands are some of my favorite pieces in my collection. Always looking for any piece that would fit in with them. The lamp would sure be nice. I will try and get a picture to add the the thread of my set. I even have all the variations of the baseball cake toppers too. Been fun diplaying them over the years.

I also have a full set of the 25th anniversay pieces and the Jeff Reiss pieces that he painted to included players in different uniforms within that set. I haven't looked at those in about 10 years though. Those were pretty cool too.

Sounds awesome... would love to see your Cake Toppers and Jeff Reiss pieces in addition to all the autographed ones. I can vaguely remember a few of the Reiss Hartlands.... he painted them in different uniforrms... right? For example, Colavito as an Indian?

Be sure to post on the Memorabilia Board (not here) as more people will see it over there. Gotta love the Hartlands... my only beef is that they never made a Cincnnati Reds player. A Frank Robinson or Big Klu would have been awesome! And choosing Dick Groat over Clemente was an "interesting" choice as well...

Perez;

Here are some pictures of my Hartlands that we have chatted about. I included the cake toppers as well. Hope you enjoy.
