October 2011 Pick-Up Thread
After a full month of negotiations, late yesterday afternoon I finally completed another HUGE trade.
 I must say that it's a lot more fun then writing a check.  Both of these Vintage Original TYPE 1 Photographs are 4x5. 1) c. 1915 - The New Kid Ruth showing off his stuff. 2) c. 1915 - The Red Sox Hurlers.

Awesome trade!
Jimmy,
I don't know what you had to give up in trade, but those photos are probably two of my favorites out of what you've shared with net54 over the years. Simply awesome!! Congrats! Last edited by Scott Garner; 10-01-2011 at 07:14 AM.

Congrats Jimmy
Jimmy, Those are some photos, Congratulations!!...and I'm not even a photo guy...any images of a youthful Ruth in a RS uniform always get my attention though. Since they're not wire photos I'm assuming some civilian took them with their own personal camera? How often does something like this surface? How about the pursuit?....Can you share how you found them?....Since it was a trade I can deduct you didn't find them at the Goodwill!...Can you say what you gave up?...lets hear the gory details!

Terrific.... Now, nobody will want to post anything else on this October thread (which is a shame, because the month just started!) I was gonna post something, but it would be embarrassingly bland, after seeing those first two.
 Tough to imagine anything else as cool as Jimmy's Ruth photos and Greg's Matty Die-cut. Thanks a lot guys... now I have to wait until November to post! Serously, incredible pickups, and what an amazing start to the October Pickups Thread! Last edited by perezfan; 10-01-2011 at 04:26 PM.

I'd like to thank each and every one of you who took the time to comment, you're all very kind. I've found that photographs provoke a certain emotion in me that is rarely found in other collectibles. Each photo has captured a moment in the daily lives of the generations that proceeded us, and that transcends into any walk of life, be it Ball Players, Movie Stars, Politicians, and even fascinating folks from all walks of life. I'm happy that my newest addition has provoked such emotions in all of you too. With best regards, Jimmy And Greg. That E125 Matty is to die for! A keeper for sure. Congrats!

Jimmy,
Those Ruths are absolutely freaking AMAZING. Damn, I didn't think your Ruth collection could get much better, but I was so wrong. Congrats. What can you do to top these? A pic from St. Mary's perhaps! BTW...Love the Ryan from last month. It has been an incredibly slow month for me, so I'm glad people have stuff to post so I can live vicariously through them. Great stuff! Mark

Not every collector are like you and I Carlton as we love to share our finds and the sometimes terrific stories of how we found them. But, I agreed to keep our details private as per a condition of our agreement. And for as what I gave up for them, let's just say it was substantial and even included some non Baseball items. I started collecting photos just over ten years ago as I couldn't afford the Ruth, Gehrig, DiMag, & Mantle Baseball Cards that I wanted, so I looked for an alternative and found vintage photos at a fraction of the cost. And since I was able to acquire multiple significant images over the years, I was armed with something that many fellow photo collectors considered better than money... the goods! On another issue you mentioned on a post a few weeks ago... "where do I find all this stuff?" For many years I dreamed about hitting the road like you do Carlton, but I had chosen a different path and between an upside-down work schedule and a huge family commitment, my desire to travel and hunt for hidden gems remained just that, a dream. The Internet and specialty auction houses changed my life forever. When I came home from work in the middle of the night, I found nothing to do except, eat, watch infomercials and/or rerun after rerun of Sports Center, or read. Until 1999. when I bought a WebTV and discovered eBay. No need to go on from here. But I'll close with something that merits repeating. At least 80% of my collection was acquired via the Internet. Maybe even closer to 90%. I just wanted stuff bad enough that I found away to get it! Happy hunting to all my fellow collectors and always keep your nose on the trail. My best to all, Jimmy

I'll second what everyone else is saying - that Ruth Red Sox photo is great. I used to collect Ruth items back when I had $$, and two of my favorite items were a Burke photo and a silver gel 'snapshot' from a barnstorming tour. All gone...
On a more positive note, I picked up a huge (small) black baseball related item last week - a 1909 ticket book, including 7 tickets, for Niesen's Gunther Park in Chicago. Among the games played there that year: series between the Leland Giants and the Cubans, 1-0 game where Rube Foster beat Ed Reulbach and the Chicago Cubs, games between Leland's Giants and the Guenther team, and also games between the Guenthers and the Cubans. There might have been other famous black teams that also played there that year - I haven't completed my research. The Kansas City Giants played the Cubans in Chicago that year, in several parks, but I can't verify that they played at Guenther Park. Still looking for RPPCs of either the 1911 Chicago Giants or 1911 Kansas City, KS, Giants.

Oct. Alameda P/U's
Here’s my first pickups for October…Went to the Alameda Point show yesterday…I got the 1880’s baseball cap below…I initially saw it at the National last summer…I made an offer but the seller wasn’t ready to sell since he got it there at the National…Fortunatly the seller lives here in the bay area and sets up at the Monthly Alameda show…Last Alameda he shot me a price and I put down $300.00 to hold it and paid the balance yesterday…It's a very rare example of cap and kind of completes my collection of basic styles..I have the pillbox, boater, small bill Harvard cap, and now this striped one...which is the only one I've ever seen for sale...No makers tag but I got coaching from John Gennantonio and he gave it his stamp of approval as a style that was used for multiple sports as well as baseball...as seen by the 1886 Princeton baseball team photo under it
 Photographed at 2011 National  Photographed at 2011 National    The seller also had a pair of 1890ish two tone Spalding baseball cleats…I didn’t plan on it but I couldn’t leave without’um!...    Also got a 20” x 14” photo of a boy taking a photo of boys topping a bat at home plate sand lot style..I alreday cross pollunated threads on this interesting photo earlier today, link below. http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=142270  Plus got an interesting little 1924 team photo of the Tucson High School girls basketball team (Tucson AZ)….The names of the players are written by hand in ink on each player…along with the name of the coach…A few weeks ago I bought a girls basketball poster with a large illustration of a girl player for the 1929 Oakland Ca YWCA vs San Francisco YWCA…so this kind of goes along with it…   Now I need to lay low…spending money like a drunken sailor lately!

Nice score, Carlton!!! Especially the 1880s Cap. I really love the colors and design of that one. Has to the best (or one of the best) examples to exist... the condition looks impossibly good for something that early. What a neat piece (both inside and out).
Nice cleats as well.... never seen a pair quite that old, or that attracive. You're really on a roll- congrats!

Babe Ruth last win ticket
October is a tough month to post new pickups!
After Jimmy dropped that "nuclear bomb of all pickups" to kick off October (early Babe Ruth pitching photo and 1915 Red Sox hurlers), I'm happy to join the party in a small way. As a matching bookend to Jimmy's photo, I picked up a NMT ticket stub to the Babe's LAST ML pitching appearance and win on October 1, 1933. In Ruthian fashion, the Babe managed to show a crowd of 25,000 NY fans why he was, well, Babe Ruth... In the last game of the 1933, and in the twilight of Ruth's career, Babe asked to pitch against the Yanks' arch rival Boston Red Sox. Ruth did the NY team proud, pitching a complete game and garnering a win for his effort. Additionally, Ruth hit his 34th and final homer of his 1933 campaign (career HR # 686). As stated earlier, the ticket stub is in great shape. The patron that attended the game scribbled notes on the back of the ticket on who attended the game and when it occured. Pretty cool! I'm including a scan of my stub and another photo of a Hunt's auction lot that sold last year with a lesser quality example of the same ticket for background info surrounding this game. Enjoy!

I am always amazed at the stuff that both Scott and Jimmy find and purchase. It has left me with only one conclusion...they both invented the internet and have a downloaded file that comes to them a few days before the rest of us.
Great pickups guys...both the Ruth pitching photo and his last pitched game ticket are top notch!!

I picked this up for $4 at a local antique mall. It was marked "unknown baseball player" but his name was written on the back. It is Lyman Linde who pitched a whopping 10 innings for the Indians in '47-48. Not much of a player but a great photo.
 (the photo isn't crooked/trimmed, just a bad angle) Last edited by scmavl; 10-04-2011 at 10:13 PM.

Yale Mascot
Addenda: 10/10/11 7:47PM
http://www.sportsantiques.com/index.htm I meant to also note I added a lot of my recent pickups onto my home page, link above. Some I've previously posted here on Net54. I went to the Sacramento Antiques Fair yesterday and nada....not a thing...but Saturday I picked up the 14" x 11" Handsome Dan print below off eBay from Scott Gaynor...Handsome Dan was/is the Yale bulldog mascot..I already have two of the tins so was just after the print....You can see photos of "Thee" real c1890 Handsome Dan still standing tall in person. It's on the last page of my Brimfield trip story in which I visited Yale and photographed their trophies...scroll 1/2 way down the page in the link below. http://www.sportsantiques.com/pg16brimstory.htm 14" x 11"  Yesterday a very cool 18" x 9 5/8" felt banner featuring HD sold on eBay for $140.00, see below. I had this once very very early on in my collecting but sold it...one of the coolest banners...It's fairly rare, you don't see them often...but the print I got above is way more rare....first one I've ever seen. 18" x 9 5/8"

Pocket Photo
Also won this on ebay. Bought it because of the description - I've never heard of such a camera, and looking forward to seeing the back of this picture:
Ebay description: This is a nice early "Pocket Kodak". When it was introduced in August of 1897 it was one of the first really pocketable cameras with a acceptable (for snap shooters) picture size. It also was a very successful camera, 200.000 being sold until its end in April 1915. The camera took 12 pictures with a size of 2.25 x 3.25 inch (5,5 x 8 cm) on one daylight loading spool. It cost $ 10.

My first Beatles pick-up of the month...
A Sept. 1962 Beatles Original Photo by Les Chadwick of Peter Kaye Photography. This photo shoot was the first professional photographs ever taken of the Beatles.
Beatles manager Brian Epstein wanted photographs taken ASAP and hired a local Liverpool studio to shoot them. This image was used as the cover shot in Peter Kaye's 1987 paperback book entitled: "Beatles in Liverpool" Vintage original TYPE 1 photograph & companion piece book. 1962Beatles.jpgpeterkayebook.jpg

Companion Piece- King of Clout Style!
Here's the ultimate companion piece (for me, anyway...)
I've had the original Willard Mullin Illustration of the Bum for quite some time. A big/beautiful image of the infamous Brooklyn Mascot. But just recently I was lucky enough to find the original Sporting News issue in which this drawing was featured. Icing on the Cake is that this drawing was used to grace the Cover. Aside from the great Mullin tie-in, the articles within this Sporting News Issue are very intriguing. Among other topics, it discusses Jackie Robinson's thriving career in the minors, and his chances of making the "Big Club". It also discusses the possibility of a 168 Game Regular Season Schedule (which apparently almost came to fruition). Very interesting reading, and a purely lucky pickup for me

Hey all,
Here are a few of my pick-ups this month. These were a set of six snapshots of various sizes, and given the angle of the shots, I couldn't say 'no.' The seller didn't know the date(s), but from what I can tell, it's from 1960, most likely in late April (I'm thinking the 23rd). Here are a few:      Now, do any of you have any idea who the above batter is? Possibly Kubek? It almost looks like Pepitone, but I know for sure he wasn't with the Yanks in '60, and the images are definitely from that year. Or so my belief is. Anywho, keep up the great stuff!! Graig

Great stuff guys!!! Love this photo -1956 Type I that I just picked up. The soft focus on Mickey really accentuates the power that is about to be released. The photographer is Herbie Scharfman of INP and SI fame and the most interested fan in the stands (above and to the left of the flash gun) is Ike.
