AUGUST pickups

[Runscott]

I have alluded to this pick-up in another thread, but I finally sprung for a Ruth. My pseudo-goal is to slowly acquire handwritten letters of HOF'ers, starting with the first class, but Ruth and Matty were going to be nearly impossible, so I'm compromising. I have a Cobb and my Johnson is particularly nice, but that's getting off-track.

This autograph was obtained by Bernie's mother at the Ward Theatre in the Bronx and sent to her son, who was stationed in Ohio - Ruth was appearing at various Bronx movie theaters in a War Bond effort.

Next up is Wagner.

Congrats.
That is a beauty Scott.
Nice job on the Roush bat also.

Thanks, Mark. I refinish old pool cues, so this wasn't a huge stretch. But cues are much easier - you remove anything that isn't wood, then add sealer and whatever finish you desire. The Roush involved a lot more experimentation and thinking, but I'm very happy with the end result. If sold I will certainly lose money, but the experience was worth it.

Thanks to Lordstan for working with me...

Two more Perez Steele's to bring my total to 89...other than Reggie and Lasorda, they're all expensive from here on out...
