Great sign! I've seen a couple of PF generic sports signs lately, but they didn't have the baseball players. Those are tough!

GREAT negatives, Randall. I have a nice scan of him walking to the dugout that's begging to be painted.

Thanks, yeah I think that would be a good one. According to the boxscore he was taken out after that at bat. I assume it was to get the ovation, but I am not 100% sure. Anyone know if he went out to his position in the bottom of the inning? If he did then that would be the last walk to the dugout.

Randall,
In the second picture, I notice 3 things that may help.
1) Mantle appears to be wearing a hard helmet.
2) Mantle doesn't have a glove with him.
3) It appears that most of the people in the stands are sitting.

I would assume from those facts that this was him walking back to the dugout after popping out. I don't know if he was sent back out to field the next inning to get an ovation when he was removed, but it seems like it's a fairly common thing to do. I would expect that if this was his last walk to the dugout, the crowd would be standing and he would be waving back to them.

Despite that they are pretty cool images that can be linked to specific moment in time.

Hi, yeah I figured the picture was of him walking back after theat bat. But I was wondering if they sent him back out to start the inning and then took him out. That photo I have never seen.

Mark's post inspired me to drag out my PF sign.

Not sure how long I'll be keeping this one. But a 1930 game used bat of Frank "lefty" O'doul. Bat is in great shape, uncracked and just shows acouple ball and cleat marks.

Spectacular, Dave...

That particular one may be best of the bunch. Condition looks amazing as well

Brock, please don't sell that O'Doul bat - it rules. I think that man was super underrated. And awesome. Actually, that shouldn't really play a role in your decision to keep or sell it. I just think it's a great piece.

Billy Madison reference?

Here is a small group of my recent Eagles pickups, in addition to a neat Phillies piece. The Eagles group includes a 1960's Eagles Cheerleader jacket, a late 1940's Vic Sears game used Eagles jersey, a 1978 cold weather long sleeve gamer, and a 1966 Irv Cross Eagles Pro Bowl Helmet. This helmet was Cross's actual Eagles helmet, that was painted gold, and had the NFL logos applied.
The Phillies piece is the original (or one of the originals) photos used to make the 1950 Phillies newspaper supplement panoramic photos. The photo has the gray photographer's paint applied around each player's head and above, and the last 3 players on the right were added into the photo. The photo is in 2 pieces, and has player's identifications glued below each player (some have fallen off).
