Cool December Vandy pickup under the wire...
Managed to find one more unusual Vandy pickup before 2014 ended:
Original circa 1939 Johnny Vander Meer endorsed Goldsmith ball. The condition I believe is pretty remarkable considering age. I love it!  If any of the resident ball or Goldsmith experts on net54 can add additional info, I would really appreciate it. I do know that by 1939 Cincinnati based Goldsmith had forged a solid endorsement deal with Vander Meer. They dedicated much of their 1939 catalogue to him, but no mention of a Vander Meer endorsed ball, FWIW... Last edited by Scott Garner; 12-23-2014 at 08:45 PM.

Here's a page from a 1936 General Electric calendar showing the first-ever major league night game at Crosley Field the season before. The woman dressed in white against a sea of men dressed in black reminds me of that scene in "The Natural" where Iris stands up and Roy Hobbs catches a glimpse of her before hitting a home run and breaking out of a slump. This photo doesn't do the piece justice — I should have scanned it before framing it ...

Great pick up, George. Along with the bases, it looks like you have home plate and the pictures plate to the right.

This isn't rare, I don't even know what it is. Any ideas? I'll sell it once I get an idea, tho it won't be a lot. Back is blank maybe a bit over 2 inches square. OLD, prob some sorta oddball comic set?

George,
It looks like I should proofread my posts. I've never seen a "picture" plate, but I do see a "pitcher's" plate on your buckle. Where's Barry when you need him?

Picked this up last night. I've always liked this pin and my low ball offer was agreeable to the seller YEAH

Stuffy McInnes October 1913 pencil drawing
Recent pick up from Hunt. A pencil drawing from October of 1913 of Stuffy McInnes. Evidently a local amateur artist in Philly at the time, Margaret McGillin drew about 20 of the A's players over a period of 1911-1914. I picked up two of these at The National in 1999 (Coombs and Oldring) and this is the first I have seen since. I believe that the family of McGillin consigned all of these originally to Hunt's in the late 90's. Glad to pick up my third.
  Here are my original two bought in 1999:
