Esoteric and boring, but only thing I've picked up lately:

Great 1918 Sox team pic!!

Continuing the Red Sox theme, here's a program from the 1934 grand re-opening of the "new" Fenway Park, after a major construction overhaul thanks to a fire in the winter of '33-'34.

Pretty cool.

By "only thing lately," do you mean since the weekend?

Haven't posted pickups in awhile -- here are a few from this month --

Items in the group photo that may be hard to see include a McCarthy/Lazzeri Type I photo, Jimmy Archer autograph, a Killebrew 500 HR mug and an early Mike Schmidt pencil.

Also thought I'd post Fred Clarke's original Hall of Fame plaque frame -- I've put a Clarke HOF postcard and M116 in it.

Well, you have a point there. The Chickering coupon would probably be somewhat interesting to the card guys, as Chickering did a lot of late 1800's individual and team baseball cabinets. Thought this coupon might provide some insight into the costs of cabinet photos, but the guys over on this side are pretty much print collectors. In continuation of the theme of posting items that almost no one over here collects, I'll put up a couple of cabinets in a moment

Here are some major league scout business cards picked up recently. After researching, I believe these originate mid to late 1950's. To me, the team logos are very appealing to the eye.
