Couple of nice December pickups
Happy holidays to everyone on net54!
I recently picked up two neat items- one prewar, one more recent: The first is a ticket stub from 17 year old HOF phenom Bob Feller's 2nd career win on 9/7/36. It's hard to believe that Feller was so good at such a young age. At this point Feller was still a high school JUNIOR. Wow! The second item is a game used ball from Astros 1986 Cy Young winner Mike Scott's no-hitter on 9/25/86. The thing that made this no-hitter so unique is that it also clinched the NL Western Division for the Astros. That's what I would call a clutch performance! This ball came directly from the personal collection of the former Astros PA announcer David Courtney. The inscription on the side panel is in the hand of Courtney. Mike Scott signed the ball for Courtney after the game. Last edited by Scott Garner; 12-13-2014 at 10:29 AM.

Scott - I think your 'Mike Scott no-hitter ball' post sent some good acquisition vibes flowing my way. After responding to your post earlier, I went out Christmas shopping and found a $1,200 pool cue for $18 in an antique store. It's not baseball, but it's the kind of find that allows me to keep selling vintage baseball stuff for a living.

It's awesome to find a genuine bargain once in a while, because it kind of offsets paying too much For other "must haves". There are definitely great deals out there if you have specialized knowledge and know the market, FWIW. Last edited by Scott Garner; 12-14-2014 at 03:37 AM.

Hi Nate,
FYI, this is exactly the same model of bat that "Pudge" Rodriguez swung in the game that Nolan Ryan recorded his final career K (Strikeout 5,714) on Sept. 17, 1993 @ Anaheim. Pudge was his catcher in this game. Last edited by Scott Garner; 12-14-2014 at 06:51 PM.

Correcto! He was a huge user of Cooper bats in the early to mid 90's, along with Rawlings. He then switched over to LS full time(for the most part) the rest of the 90's. He is one player that ordered tons and tons of bats, and used almost every brand, so there are a lot of his bats out there. I still like collecting him though. Juiced or not, he's still one of the best catchers of all time.

No doubt that Pudge is one of the greatest catchers of all-time! I whole heartedly agree. Here is my Pudge Rodriguez bat from 1993. Check out the heavy use, tape job on the handle, cleat marks on the barrel and inscription- "Nolan Ryan's last win & strikeout catcher". I love this bat!

1972 Oakland A's "Cocktail Menu"
Recently acquired this cool little 6x9 foldout menu.
The Swingin' A's chartered a World Airways flight to Cincinnati to play the Reds in the 1972 World Series. The team ordered drinks, appetizers and meals from the list of creative concoctions provided by World Airways on this menu. The "Catfish" Appetizers with a "Bando" Sauce sounds delicious.

Two boys in baseball uniforms, with their bicycles. This was a fairly common pose. I bought a similar one years ago that also disappointingly did not show any equipment. Then noticed one day that a glove was strapped to the back of a handlebar. One pic is enhanced to show detail.

Quick shout out to Brett Lowman. Recently I posted about a trip I took to the Philly Show with my daughter, and how inspired she got to start collecting vintage sports (along with her other antique obsessions) and how excited she was to pick up a few small items. Well, I just bought a couple mitts from Brett, and he had read my post and surprised me by including a few items that were just "lieing around" for my daughter to help her collection. A couple B33 college felts, a pin, and a small track medal from 1927. Thanks Brett, you are as good as they get! - these items will be priceless to her.

c.1910 Oversized Cornell Football Pennant
Very happy with this pick up, and even considered posting it in the "Best of 2014" thread. Oversized, 35" long, pennant with detailed image of a girl with a football. I've never seen this version before, so it may be quite unique. The pictures I tried attaching are too wide, so here are a couple links:

Killer pennant Joe!
Do you think it could possibly be a girls basketball pennant? I thought the ball has a more early basketball look, but then again the girl is wearing a turtleneck sweater, more fitting with football.

Tough Bobbleheads
Was very happy to add these two nodders to my collection this weekend. They are both tough variations. Those who collect 60's bobbleheads know how difficult these are, particularly the Type 4 Chiefs.
