I couldn't resist picking up these original circa 1938 sterling silver cufflinks and tie pin that feature a calendar with June 11th marked. June 11th, 1938 is the date that Johnny Vander Meer threw his first of two consecutive no-hitters.

Honestly, I have no way to directly link these personally to Vander Meer (yet), but what a strange coincidence. These literally landed in my lap and I felt that they should end up in my advanced Vandy collection since the price was right and I think they are cool.

Happy New Year to everyone on net54!

Those are nice... Hopefully they can be linked to Vandy!!!

If those are Vander Meer's they certainly found the right home. These four items likely would only appeal to me but they are my first pickups of the new year. I cannot believe there are many 1971 Pirates Spring Training programs out there. The scorecard is from game #7. The 1971 game 2 NLCS stub has long been on my want list. This is the first opportunity I have had to add one to my 1971 Buc collection. Bob Robertson hit three homers this game while Willie Mays hit his only career post season homer. For some reason all San Francisco items from this series have been hard to come by. The Pittsburgh ones seem to be much more obtainable. Does anyone have any ideas why this disparity exists?

Not baseball, but still a "Killer" piece for the 50s motif in the basement.
