December Pickups

[GrayGhost]

Not the greatest item, but an indy racing legend. I LOVE the authenticity . First, its dated, not seen in signature crop from 1979. and original owner has photo mounted a photo, likely from the signing. Bobby w the pile of books on table that he signed. This one was likely one of that day in 1979

Got this as a Christmas gift. Ichiro is one of my favorite players and I have not seen this particular SI signed that much. I see a lot more of the one with the Japanese Flag.

An appropriate item for a December pickup. This was signed 90 years ago on January 1, 1925. It is an RPPC of Frank Beaurepaire. He was a swimmer for Australia during the 1908, 1920 and 1924 Olympics. He won a silver and bronze medal in each of the games. He served in the Australia Defense Forces during WWI. He was gassed and suffered from trench fever before being sent home. In 1922 he rescued a shark attack victim near Sydney for which he received a gold medal from the Royal Humane Society. He founded two tyre (correct spelling for Aussies) companies and served as Lord Mayor of Melbourne 1940-42.

Got this one for Christmas from Jim Stinson. Want to eventually frame it with one or two of my Braddock type 1 photos.
