June 2012 Pick-Ups

[Lordstan]

In the aftermath of the Yee auction, I was still on a spree and picked up these as well.
I have to say these Beckett cases are HUMONGOUS! There is no doubt they'll protect the pics. I'm not sure if they're bulletproof or not, but it wouldn't surprise me.
I'm debating cracking them out cause they take up sooo much room.

This is the first photo I have picked up in a while. Type 1 of Hank Greenberg from Opening Day, April 15th 1947.

Andrew,
That is an awesome pic. I love pics of ball players with kids.
Very nice pickup.

Thanks Mark,

I like them also and would love to see the original photo for this card surface one day also.

Andrew that is cool as well.
This is my favorite. It's not a new pickup, but it is one of my favorite pics of all.
They will need to pry it from my cold dead hands.

Mark,

Very nice photo. FYI the kid in the Greenberg photo is Len Merullo's son Boots.Merullo has four sons. His eldest son is nicknamed "Boots" because on the day he was born, Merullo famously made four errors in a single inning having been informed by the club's owner, Philip Wrigley, that his wife had gone into labor.

I'm an admitted sucker for these types of photos.

I've shown this one once before, but I love this photo of Johnny Vandermeer and a little girl at Ebbetts Field circa 1941.
