April Pickups

[Brian Van Horn]

I love flea markets:

Not a new purchase, but a new find. These were packed away and forgot about 20 years ago. I thought I was opening up a box of misc baseball cards and turns out I had some early 70's bobble heads and also several early 70's 7/11 slurpee baseball cups. Here's the bobble heads.

Pics now in hand officially count as pickups.





I know it isn't pre war, but it is still pretty cool. Did some research on the pic. Dated 5/67 against Cubs at Shea. Mets played Cubs at Shea on 4/20/67. No games at Shea against Cubs in May. Seaver's first start was 4/13 against Pirates at Shea. So this pic dates from Seaver's second ever ML start on 4/20.

I got this reprint copy of the 1927 Yanks Team from Spring Training off of ebay. It's not a high value item, but it is significant for me.
It shows one of the ST team pics from 1927.
This matches exactly with the team pic I got in the group of 1927 ST snapshots I picked up earlier this month.
First pic is the new one. Second pic is a close up of snapshot. Third is high res pic of same snap.
You can see the pic is almost exact, except for some hand placements and the angle of the photograph.





I do think this proves the pics are from 1927. I also think I might have a very rare snapshot. Has anyone else ever seen a team picture snapshot?
The guy must have been lucky enough to be there on the same day.

These are also now in hand. Looking forward to the next auction!

The guy on the right looks like he just watched Billy Buckner try to field a grounder!
