June Pick-ups

[bcbgcbrcb]

This one just arrived in the mail yesterday, a double bonus in my eyes. A legitimate, original Negro League photo purchased on e-bay and also a truly rare career contemporary collectible of Effa Manley, I only know of two others in the hobby.

The seller did not have the ID for the Newark Eagles player. I have not done much research yet but believe it to be either Calvin Israel or Fran Mathews. Any opinions on that one?

I wanted that one badly. I am happy that a fellow board member got it. It is an exquisite photo, unfortunately I had burned through my budget earlier in the month. If you ever decide to move it please let me know.

Will do, Mike.

Awesome pickup, Phil. I saw that too, but figured it would end up too high for me. Had a feeling you were in on it. Congrats

Picked up a few more Wheats. Never had seen this ad before, I didn't know he advertised for Mail Pouch.
