September pickups

This is somewhat of a fantasy piece for me, glad to add it to my collection! Huge Yankees fan, grew up idolizing Don Mattingly. The reason I am a Yankees fan though is my grandma, who loved The Mick! I'll get this framed and matted and have it hanging in my Yankees den so it will always remind me of my grandma and I!

You should get the matting thick enough to cover that sticker... make the piece look better

Not vintage, but I just picked up a signed 1969 topps Joe Niekro for my 69 Cubs project. It's a fun project that I work on when other projects come to a halt. This will be one of the first projects that I'll mat that will include some baseballs as well as cards, cuts and one of my favorite pictures of Ron Santo with the black cat going across the field.

Mike,
You need to find a ticket from the infamous "Black Cat game" for your framed Cubs project!

Now only one short of having handwritten letters/notes of the initial HOF class. I'm wishing 'Big 6' was actually the 6th.

Sweet letter, Scott!

That is a beautiful piece, Scott.

Thanks Chris. I was thinking of it as a placeholder until I can find a full signature, but I guess realistically a full-signature handwritten Wagner letter would cost me.....

Honus Wagner Handwritten letter

...over 5K? (and, while out of my 'budget', be well worth it).

Yep...I've kinda been on the lookout for one, but it's not exactly a big/famous game in the grand scheme of things so I might just have to be real lucky to find one.
