What was your best memorabilia addition to your collection in 2014?

Scott,
Not sure if you saw. But in the next heritage premium auction they have a game used baseball from one of Vander meer no hitters.

I am still holding out hope that the best is yet to come for 2014....I'll post on 12:01 on 1/1/15.

Tough choice, but I'd say this circa 1915 original Cracker Jack trolley sign.



Now framed.

Every time I post something like this, which is of no interest to more than 2% of the forum, I think it would be great to have it broken down to something like pre/post wwii or similar.

Picked this up in February and it's probably my favorite item in my collection, primarily because my girlfriend and I attended the game and remember several of the plays it was used in, including this Baldwin 69-yd kick-off return.

In the vintage arena, this 1900-ish glove was easily my favorite pick-up:

It pales in comparison to Bob's pickups, but this oversized advertising pinback may be my favorite of the year.

All three 'bests' from this year were additions to the 19th Century part of my collection...

1. Circa 1850's / 1860's Belted Style Ball
2. Circa 1880's "Eagle Prize Bat" awarded to the "Brooklyn Writers Nine"
3. Circa 1860's tiger maple baseball bat...36" and pristine

Sure have enjoyed seeing the top items from everyone else!

For the most part, I dismantled my Reds collection in the early 2000s as we were buying our first home. Over the years I have been acquiring uniforms from all teams to support my research. This year I decided it was time to devote some effort in rebuilding my Reds collection, on this time with a much more narrow focus on the Crosley Field years of 1934-1970. Here are some of this years highlights...

Bob, nice Tris Speaker piece! How big is it? I've never seen one before, have you? Great item.

No, this is the first I or anyone that I have talked to has seen. I am considering placing it into an auction early next year actually. The size is about 20" high and 12" wide. It is in pristine condition and the easel has never been deployed. Thanks

My best pick up this year. 1910 managers fan with great grandpa.

[aquarius31]

Hard to pick just one.
1) NY Clipper scrapbook with over 20 baseball woodcuts
2) 1889 Boston BBC Lithograph
3) 1867 Trophy Cricket Ball

Brock,
I knew that Heritage had it, but did not know what auction it was going to be in. Thanks for the heads up!
