Chris:

Very cool Yogi photo!

1968 is my favorite year of Topps FB cards so I could not resist this box:

Adam:

That's not a box of cards in a grading company holder is it? If so, I didn't know they graded full boxes.

[Exhibitman]

Nope, just a display box.

Above, a pair of c1900 silverplate womans hair pins....I've got a football hair pin in my collection already but these blow mine out of the water...I've never seen them before...should be arriving anyday coming out of Texas...the football appears to have a relief of a player running with the ball.....the other side featuring a classic melon ball....The footbll player looks to have on a head harness...I'll have to wait till it arrives to see what's up with it....Obviously tarnished but should polish up nice

Fantastic, Carlton! I've never seen those either... possible lone survivors?

I was fortunate to get this...

Nice Nationals Pennant, especially like the frame job. I was looking at this item also but decided agianst bidding, hope you got it for a decent price.

Thanks Mark, I don't know if they are lone survivors but they would certainly have to be rare....I wonder if there are baseball ones...imagine a players head with a pillbox cap!

Your Nationals pennant is really nice....amy chance of getting a close up of the player...I can't read the name. So the Nationals and Senators were one in the same?...how about a little background/history lesson on them...Have you ever seen this one before?
