February 2014 Pickups

[perezfan]

Posting a few knick-knacks I've picked up recently...

1. Tony Perez Bicentennial G/U Bat, with a huge assist to Jeremy W of our Forum. Jeremy spotted what must have been the worst ebay listing of all-time (with no mention of Perez, the Cincinnati Reds, or anything else pertinent). Just a generic bat listing. It still garnered some decent bidding, but went for lots less than a proper listing would have commanded.

Neat/rare Bat, as it is a dark Hickory Model (Perez ordered only one batch of these Hickory Bats from H&B - in July of '76)

2. Nifty Late 1950s Wilson Counter Display with Mint Go Go Sox Baseball

3. Assorted Early Baseball Jewelry. These Watch Fobs feature some amazing artwork and intricate detail.... and are sterling silver. They are one of the more under-rated (and thus under-priced) segments of the hobby, IMHO

Love the Sox display!

also love when ebay sellers write terrible descriptions (that is, when I find the stuff)

I almost bid on that Perez but it looked rough from the listing. Is it in decent shape? Did it have anything on the knob? The seller said there wasn't.

I was the under bidder on the perez. It may been been poorly listed but I'm pretty sure all the big bat guys saw it on eBay. You sure it's hickory and not colored like that from water or fire? Because I'd think there wouldn't be light colored spots.
