Nap Rucker was one of the early turn of the century no-hit pitchers.
On September 5, 1908 moundsman Nap Rucker of Brooklyn no-hit the Boston Beaneaters 6-0 at Brooklyn.

Scott, do you remember when that no-hitter ball was auctioned around 10-11 years ago? I think it went for $1k

Not baseball related, but I have these two neat autographs coming in this week. Teddy Roosevelt and a Oliver Wendell Holmes letter. I only intended to buy one but the other came along with it (hey I won't complain)

Been bidding for a few years and finally came out on top on a REA lot. An outstanding signed portrait of a 38 year old Thomas Alva Edison, autographed with his distinctive umbrella signature.

Oops... forgot this one. A little fading, but the price was right.

Great month continues... Just a Gehrig away from completing my Murderers Row project. Want to thank Jim Stinson for allowing me to add this beautiful piece to my collection!!!

Anthony Causi, the photographer. There is a little rub mark on the bottom right corner where I suspect a Steiner Hologram was removed. Causi's signature often appears on SPs offered by Steiner.

Great Piece there Matt, Congrats!

Figured I'd post this here as well, just won today on REA and I'm very excited. It gets me much closer to completing my 1923 Yankees project and will be a centerpiece of my collection:

Nice Erick!!! It's a "twice" signed check too Congratulations, it's a beautiful check!

[yanksfan09]

thanks Matt. Yea, I certainly would never cut it to sell it as two "Ruth" cuts, but it's a cool bonus. Plus it's also signed by Claire Ruth on the back, that's why I wanted this one. They had three total checks, I was shocked and delighted that this one went for the least $, as I thought it was the best. I also love the look of blue ink compared to the other ones being black. But They're all nice so congrats if anyone here won one of the other ones!
