September Pick Ups

Here's an extremely scarce 1927 Bustin' Babe's & Larrupin' Lou's Barnstorming Premium with their facsimile autographs. These could only be acquired at the ballparks and fields where Babe & Lou would put on their exhibition games.

This superb example comes directly from The Christy Walsh Family, and is just the second one that I've come across in the last ten years.

Greg and Packs... those are both exceptional pieces that have everything going for them. Congrats, congrats, congrats!

And Greg. I was an underbidder on that Matty piece a couple of times over the years. But I don't recall seeing one as nice as yours. Well done.

My best to you both, Jimmy

Thanks Jimmy, gorgeous Babe and Lou pic! Always been one of my faves! While this gum box isn't the most priciest piece in my collection, it is definitely one of my favorites!!

Thank you Ben and Greg. Being that this is the first time I've had this premium in hand, I'm surprised that it was printed on a a quality thick stock. Walsh, ever the promoting/advertising genus had Babe & Lou sign an original TYPE 1 photo of this image and proceeded to take a photo of the signed TYPE1 photo. The negative from that shot is what's known as a duplicate negative, more commonly referred to as a "dupe neg." And the finished product, of which I posted earlier in this thread, was born a TYPE 3, and a very nice one at that! Feel very fortunate to have it in my collection.

Jimmy,
Well done buddy. That pic is outstanding with a great historical link to Walsh. Feel free to leave a few Gehrig items for me!

Greg,
Though I don't actively collect him, I really appreciate Mathewson. That box is an outstanding items in great condition. Congrats.

Packs,
The Wagner is awesome. Signed cards of Hans are truly rare. Quite a centerpiece item.

Congrats to all.
Best,
Mark

As always, I love my Cleveland memorabilia. Picked up a necklace/medallion that commemorated the opening of the Richfield Coliseum with a Sinatra Concert.
