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

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Butch glad you jumped in on this. Have any of you been compiling a season by season list of what years were available?

[Butch7999]

We've seen examples from most years 1913-1926, so we assume they were printed and distributed for every year in that range.
Can't say, though, sorry, whether the minor league strips were made for all of those years.

[Hot Springs Bathers]

I had no idea they went through 1926! Do you assume the basic game was still being sold all of those years?

Wow there have been some amazing pick ups this year. My own pale in comparison. Nonetheless, they all represent items that I have long searched for. The 1941 autographed Satchel Paige was picked up in a trade with another board member. I had always wanted a vintage original Satchel Photo or autograph. To obtain both was a joy. Thanks again Derek! The 1971 NLCS game 1 stub took three years to find and I have never seen another. The same can be said for the 1971 Pirates season pass. It was a thrill to add the Jose Pagan game used 1971 World Series bat to my collection. I have seen a few Oriole versions but this was the first Pirate bat I have encountered. Thankfully scarcity doesn't always equate to desirability which limits my competition and keeps things I want within my price range.

I was lucky to add this tough Detroit Tigers ashtray to my collection.

2014 brought me 6 new T206 player game-used bats. I now have a total of 12.

That is a GREAT piece. If you ever want to sell or trade it, please keep me in mind

My best pickup in 2014 was my only pickup in 2014.

1939 Clyde Shoun Cardinals road jersey (posted in the pickups thread a few days ago)

Chris,

Wonderful addition, such a classic style and the 1939 Centennial patch really sets off any uniform. I truly love National League road uniforms that would have been worn in Crosley Field.

Chris,

That flannel is a beauty!

Wow! I think that '39 version is the best looking of all Cardinals uniforms, with that thick red piping on both the cap and jersey. Really sharp with the patch.

Seems like every other team has the CITY name on their road uniforms e.g. GIANTS at home, SAN FRANCISCO on road. Who else put the team name on the road uni's?

Here's the latest addition to my spline bat collection. It's a store display, made with 5 sections, 31" long, 5" barrel diameter, and 6 1/2 lbs. I have another store display spline bat but do not have pictures of it yet.
