Out of all the AH i bid on, suprised i havent signed up for this one yet. Amazing items.

I was looking through the Jackson scrapbook lot and came across a really
interesting item. Livingston Manor is our very small town (pop around 1200 and less than 1000 full time residence). "Sherwood's Island" is now the location
of Livingston Manor Central School (opened in 1939).

This is one of the coolest items I've seen auctioned off in a long time. There are still exciting hobby finds every year.

The Jackson scrapbooks are really great, but Josh, you really missed the boat by not reaching out and pairing it with Joe Jackson's only known military panoramic photo!!! http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=194010

I was offered that "Joe Jackson" military photo at the National. Pretty much everything that crazy guy had was bad.

Thanks for the heads up on the "Max Brand" postcard. We will correct that. Max Brand us the pen name of a famous Western fiction writer. Never made a postcard in his life. Senility has officially set In.

I wonder why Gibson / Brock are pawning off their stuff?

[Pat R]

The town historian was on the job I'm working on last week and I was telling
him about the flyer from the Jackson scrapbook for a game in our home
town and he said he remembered an article in the local paper about it.
He just dropped off copies of a couple of articles about the game. Joe Jackson was there but the game was never played but it does date the
flyer to 1922.

There is also an article about Fred Odwell who played in the majors and is on a t201 card who was also scheduled to play in a game in town the following week.

I could be wrong but I think that due to the changes in the St. Louis Cardinals HOF a lot of their stuff was returned. This would mean they probably have no room for it any more. These aren't the first Cardinal's stuff to show up recently in Lelands. Slaughter and Musial also had some stuff. At that time I talked to a friend that works for the Cardinals and he said a lot of that use to be held by them, so that is where this assumption comes from.

Gibby is almost 80 and Brock is 75 and they both probably figure to cash in now and not leave those decisions to other family members. Makes perfect sense to me
