July Pickups

[71buc]

I don’t normally make such purchases but I couldn’t resist picking up these two original March 14, 1910 Bain images of Myrtle Rowe. I have seen both of them in books and in documentaries but had never seen original versions until these arrived today. I did a bit of research and found this fun newspaper article on Myrtle Rowe that I thought I would share. The photo of her hitting is mounted to a piece cardboard stamped Culver. The other has the Bain stamping with the above mentioned date. I would like to remove the mount but don’t want to risk damaging the picture. Has anyone here ever successfully removed such a photo from a mount like this?

My first MLB flannel!! Vern Stephens, from 1948-52. No apparent alterations. This thing is HUGE! I put an XL t-shirt on top of it to show relative size. I'm only 5'8", but he was listed 5'10", and when I hold this up to my shoulders, it reaches my knees.

Ken,
Very nice Flannel.

BTW, It's OK to admit to those being your toes. No one here will think of you any differently.

Junior Stephens is one of my all time favorite players. Nice pickup Ken.

This 1905 Wichita score card is my oldest program. Very pleased to add it to my collection. One of the guys featured won 32 games this year.
