December Pick-ups Part 2

[packs]

Picked up this cool RPPC. The first pitch ever thrown out at Swayne Field. Toledo Mud Hens pitcher and 3 x 20 game winner Frank Owen throws out the first pitch to a Columbus batter.

I'm fairly confident somewhere in the infield is HOFer Joe McCarthy. He played 128 games for the Mud Hens in 1909.

Picked up this photo of Zach receiving the news he had been elected to the Hall of Fame.

Jess Barnes no-hitter press photo 1922.
I believe that this would be classified as a Type I photo...
Excellent pickup for the price!

Mike, thanks for pointing this one out for me!

Thanks Scott! $15 on eBay- what a deal...

I do pretty well spotting deals compared to others on the card side, but you photo hounds have few equals.

Scott,
Glad to see that you picked it up. Anytime I can help you spend your money I am more than pleased to accommodate you as I have little of my own to spend!

My dad and I attended a very cool estate auction this past weekend, that was Eagles related. The auction was for the estate of former Eagles player Ken Farragut, who played for the Eagles form 1951 to 1954. Ken and his wife were moving into a retirement home, and the contents of his amazing home were put up for sale. I picked up several Eagles items, some from his playing days, some circa 1980's Eagles items that Ken collected. My favorite two pickups were: An approximately 3 feet by 3 feet beautiful rug/wall hanging that celebrated Ken's All Pro status in 1954, and a Pewter Football shaped Eagles mug. I have only seen one of these mugs before in my 10 or so years searching ebay. I am not sure of their rarity, but Ken had a set of 5, all different teams.

Cool items. The pewter mug resembles the style of the early painted Yale & Harvard mugs.. Is yours dated or signed ? I've never seen one like yours
