I've been on a mission to find some nice HOF George Burke Postcards. I have a Ted Williams and now added this Jimmy Foxx to the list.

Starting to get a nice group of HOF signed postcard set (or trying to at least) going right now. Trying to get cards from their playing days if at all possible.

OK, so I know it isn't baseball, but picked up something I think is really cool and definitely something I have been looking for for a while.
1940 Stanley Cup program between the Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs. program is from Game 1 on April 2, 1940. Rangers won the game 2-1 in OT by Alf Pike. It came from Davesresaleshop(thanks Dave) attached in a scrap book. I was able to remove most of the scrapbook paper from the back. I then removed the staples and re attached the cover to the pages. Is a pretty nice mid - lower grade condition copy. Very Pleased!!!!
The last photo is the bottom of the scrap book page with notation of the person who owned the scrap book and went to the game. Also, inside the book was the train ticket, probably used to get home after the game.

I was the under bidder on an item I wanted badly in the Hunt auction earlier today. Although I am disappointed there have been bigger tragedies. Nonetheless, this has been one of my better months in picking up items for my 1971 Bucs collection. I have a difficult time finding things that are not pedestrian and are affordable for this portion of my collection. The first item is a Type 1 1971 color photo from the 1971 Series. It came from the collection of Richard "Korky" Korkes who took the photo. He created those strange looking bullpen carts that debuted in the 1971 series. I have never come across an 8X10 original color photo from the 1971 fall Classic before this one. The Chicken on the Hill ashtray is attributed to Willie Stargell’s All Star Chicken restaurant located in Pittsburgh. It is the first one I have ever seen. Obtaining a 1971 Pirates season pass has long been a goal of mine. This version of a 1971 World Series pass was a first for me as well. The World Series pin back is the larger variety and for some reason has been most difficult for me to locate. I'm happy to take it off my list.
