May pickups

[Scott Garner]

I finally was able to cross one of my holy grail items off the list last week.
Here is a scored game used scorebook from Johnny Vander Meer's 2nd consecutive no-hitter on June 15, 1938 at Ebbets Field.

Vandy's back-to-back no hitters are considered to be one of the most unassailable records in baseball.

Great pickup Scott. Nice to cross something like that off your list.

I added another Kansas World Tour item to my collection. The neat thing is this ball park is still there and being used.

Very nice postcard, Clint! Congrats!

Picked up a hoard of stuff from one single garage sale yesterday...about 800-1000 1952-59 baseball cards...overall in excellent to mint condition. Super Bowl 1 and 3 programs, 1948 Army v Navy Program, 1933 Nebraska v Oklahoma football program, other misc programs...a shoebox full of 1960-70 Topps football, basketball and baseball cards....and about 100 snapshot photos from the 1980s of Kansas City Royals games. My brother found the sale and texted me to hit an ATM and get my butt over to the sale he was at ASAP.

Thanks Clint and Mark.
I do not have a scored program from Vandy's 1st no-hitter, Mark.
I'm still looking. I know of at least one or two in the hobby. I saw one of them up close on display at the Reds Museum in Cincinnati earlier this year....

Here's something you should enjoy, Scott.
I picked up a few Mid-Week pictorials with nice baseball content a couple of weekends ago in an antique shop. This was among them. It is dated July 22, 1920.

Nice! Thanks for posting pictures.

Picked up these Mickey Mantle photos this week and the article two weeks ago.







This next thing is ugly...I don't know what the guy was thinking when he framed it, but I'm glad he saved it.

Dated April 16, 1951 from the Newark (NJ) Star-Ledger. It reads in part: Mickey Mantle, sensational New York Yankee rookie,
celebrated his promotion to the varsity yesterday by banging out a home run and three singles.

It was an exhibition game against the Dodgers at Ebbets Field, but it was his first game as a major leaguer, in a major league stadium.

When's the last time any of you saw the Dodgers referred to as "the flock" (as in Robins)?
Terrific historical content in that paper but agreed that the frame job is sorely lacking.
