May Pick-Ups

Congrats Mike...that's a real beauty!

I just picked up this 8 x 10 studio photo of a Nebraska Indians player...interestingly enough this is the same photo that appears on a postcard.

I concur with the others Mike. That Yale mug is a real beauty! Congrats.

I've been back working on my Beatles collection the last couple months, so this is the first Baseball photo I've picked up in several weeks. A terrific c. 1967 original TYPE 1 Team Press Photo of the Mick. Check out the veins on both of Mantle's arms. What a stud! And this was at the end of his career too!

Speaking of Press Photos... I recently landed this c.1966 Capitol Records released photo that would become the cover shot for the Beatles 11th American Released LP "Yesterday and Today". Of course, this was the hastily chosen image to replace the outrageous infamous "Butcher" photo that the boys had pushed for and gotten, for the albums initial release.

Brutha Jimmy,

I was going for that same darn photo. For obvious reasons. And of course, I totally forgot about the auction and didn't set a snipe. Whoops.

I'm glad it wound up in good hands.

Very nice, I was the under-bidder.

Thanks Scott...it is definitely not Dan Tobey - identified on the reverse as "Toby"...I sure wish I knew who it was. Tobey is actually pictured on a postcard from this same series, but he's easily identifiable as a caucasian.



The third and last card in this series (that I'm aware of)

Nice pick-up, Dan! I saw that in Jon's recent offerings, and wondered if it would wind up in your collection

And that Mantle photo, yowza! That's the kind of veination you usually only see on comic book superheroes!

I haven't seen much interest here in the old Spalding and Reach guides, but I just picked up the 1911 and 1912 Spalding College Baseball Guides. These are incredibly tough to find and the seller still has the 1914 book left. Lots of team photos, just like their other guides. If you think you may ever want one of these, this is the time to grab it.

And if anyone needs info on any college teams that might be in the 1911 or 1912 ones, let me know and I'll scan for you.

My last pick up for a while, due to a job loss.. but I found this was REALLY cool. Something bout the combination of baseball and the stories of the men who died in 1927 hit me. I really wanted to get this..

That's a winner. Enjoy it!
