Love when that happens!! Great pickup, Bob!

!954 NY Giants spring training and media guide. The recipient's name cracks me up. He sounds like a hoodlum in a Raymond Chandler novel.

Picked this up, too. Michael Morse GU bat from 2014.

Mike only played one season with the SF Giants but had quite an impact and hit one of the more memorable home runs in Giants' postseason history. Trailing the Cardinals in the 8th inning of Game 5 of the NLCS, Mike was sent in to pinch hit for Madison Bumgarner. He promptly hit the tying HR. The Giants went on to win that deciding game and later the World Series. Could this be the bat he used to hit that HR???? Nope, that was a Marucci.

Thanks Graig. I had forgot I had it . Found it looking for something else.

Great bat Rob, but I am really digging on that 1954 Spring Training & media guide mailer. That is a great piece you just don't see too often. Great pick up!

Super pumped to add this to my Desk Moines collection. Not vintage but will look great framed next to my original 1950 jersey.

Mike Mahoney 2007 I-Cubs. Still lives and works in DM. Going to pay him s visit to auto before framing.

Congrats. I think it a special piece for all the reasons you stated.

Items from Jackie's time in the Negro Leagues are few and far in between. It's not clear whether he played in this game (his name is crossed out and the listing makes the assumption that he didn't, though they couldn't find a box score) but still having his name printed on a program from when he was in the Negro Leagues, along with Satchell Paige pitching for his team and Bob Feller on the other side, makes it an interesting piece in my book.

I collect anything sports related from my hometown of Paterson, NJ

2 Paterson Panthers programs, one from 1938 and one from 1948

First ever snapshot pickup for me. Foreground rookie Snider and Hermanski in 1947. Background Jackie Robinson, though it oddly looks like he's fielding warm-ups at second base, a position he didn't play in 1947, if memory serves. Crappy clarity on my scan.

A cool, little snapshot from a lifelong Cubs fan (judging by some quick internet research).

Just picked up this rookie Ted Williams HR ticket on eBay. Looking forward to getting this one in the mail!

Nice ticket!

[yankeesjetsfan]

Awesome ticket stub!

Little out of the ordinary for me, but i thought it was a nice piece for my williams collection... 1937 hoover high senior class ring owned by one of teds class mates gertrude delahay.

Has no one picked up ANYTHING in the last five weeks?

[ksfarmboy]

Rob I was thinking the same thing. Where’s the April pickup thread?

[Dewey]

I think Ruggy Grimshaw scared everyone away!

Received these yesterday. I am selling the Baseball sign if anyone has an interest.

I'd start one but have nothing to share. It's funny, these Pick Up threads usually seem to get started one minute after midnight on the first day of the month!

I'll continue the March/April pickup thread. I picked up this 1921 Leslies magazine this morning at the flea market showing the grips of Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby, Ty Cobb, George Kelly, Harry Heilmann, Ed Roush and Fred Williams. Pretty neat item.
