That may be an answerable question depending on what can be seen from a hi-res of the head in question and what can be found in newspaper articles.

I haven't historically collected Tickets though I do have a few for milestone acheivements (i.e. recent 500 Home Run or 3000 Hit games). On a whim picked up MLB Debut tickets for Mike Trout and Bryce Harper as well as a ticket from Harper's 1st Major League Home Run. Probably limited upside but if these guys end up being as good as they look at this point, maybe I'll have something!



Anyone else grabbing these? I think I paid $3 for the Trout ticket...about $8 each for the Harper's...

A few of our recent pick ups...I must admit that I think some of them came our way back in April and May and I just hadn't had the time to get around to them till now.

June has been a very good month for me. I picked up these photos in the last three weeks. I love the 1929 Hack Wilson. It is now one of my favorite images in my photo collection. The 1933 Hornsby is the same image used on his 1933 Goudey card. The 1956 Alston is my first Barney Stein picture. The three Max Carey photos are from 1926 (with Wilbert Robinson), 1932, and 1926. The 1932 image is from the Cullen Cain NL Service Bureau. It is unusual to me as it is on a thicker photo stock and has a dull finish. The two Dimaggio’s are from 1944 and 1949. The action photo was a father’s day gift from my daughter. The 1944 image is interesting because the lady in the photo was the consignor. It is on thick stock similiar to studio photos from that time. The final image is of Hank Aaron being carried off the field following his 1957 pennant clinching homerun. I took a beating in the Henry Yee auction, I only obtained the 1930’s Klein image I posted on that thread. These others certainly took some of the sting out. Thanks for indulging me.
