July 2012 Pick-ups

Thanks Mike! I could not believe the prices myself. The dealer had these and other circus/state pennants from the 50s and 60s. They were hung up around the booth, and thus were in plain sight. It definitely pays to be an early bird (I got these at about 5:45am)!

Nice grab, Alan. I had a similar pennant experience last Fall and as a bonus, learned a little about pennants. Now I even own the definitive pennant book, authored by one of our board members.

My latest package of original photos has arrived.
Lou Boudreau before he was a baseball star, Johnny Mize reaching first with Rochester (before he hit the majors). Bing Miller, Jimmy Foxx, Al Simmons and Mickey Cochrane with the 1929 Athletics. Then my Dizzy Dean collection. 1 of him with the Cubs, 1 with his brother and then 2 that were used for baseball cards. 1 was used for both 1933 and '34 Goudey's and then 1 was used for the 1936 Goudey.

Thanks to cjedmonton, I was able to pick up 2 great looking 1955 World Series programs. One from Game 5 and one from Game 6 (both stadiums) to add to my 1955 World Series collection.

Ryan. That Foxx, Cochrane, Simmons, and Miller photo is a monster! I ain't kidding. Wish I had it in my collection. Well done Ryan!

1913 Cravats pennant of Red Dooin...and a big thanks to Dan (dstudeba) for contacting me. Any others out there?

Just added a new Gehrig Pic to the fold.






BTW: Ryan. Those are some awesome pickups. The Deans that were used for cards are great.

Thanks King and Mark. Those are certainly some of the best I now have in my collection. I actually have some more photos I just picked up, just haven't had the time to scan them yet.
