That's great Dave!! Who'd have guessed it would lead to such a monumental Reds Collection?

I had a shirt just like that in 3rd grade, but white. It may still be packed away somewhere. Now I've really gotta find it!

Love the photo, Dave!

I (try to) narrow my collecting to '60's era Chisox gamers and unique memorabilia. The low budget White Sox recycled uniforms as much as or maybe more than any team that decade. Over the last four decades I've kept an eye peeled for all-original jerseys from that time period - to little avail. Fortunately, and very humbly, lucked out on this one earlier and recently framed it. It's a fantastic 1968 powder blue road (two year style) and all original (numbers, nob, tag etc).

If you have or know anyone that may have original White Sox gamers from the period and possibly interested in selling or trading, I'd sure like to hear from you.

Thank you
Bob

I'm a little late, but I must say, phenomenal piece. Congrats.

Just my opinion, the prettiest and the toughest of the Reds post war uniforms to find in all original condition. From the year of Pete's first National League batting title and his first Sports Illustrated cover. Interesting that in 1968, "The Year of the Pitcher", Bob Gibson wins the NL MVP and NL CY, but the St. Louis based Sporting News names Rose the NL Player of the Year.

This one is off to Cincinnati as well..

I recently picked up this vintage poster/color photo of Vander Meer that originated from the July 24th, 1938 NY Sunday News- New York's picture newspaper. The Sunday News produced several of these neat looking color pictures of key players of the day during the 1930's and 1940's.

I've always liked this image and finally found one in pretty remarkable shape.
I had it custom framed with a copy of an original snapshot that I own of the celebration that occurred after Vandy's 2nd consecutive no-hitter on June 15th, 1938- the 1st night game at Ebbets Field.

The caption below the image reads:
"Johnny Vander Meer, No-Hit King"
Below that it says:
"The Cincinnati southpaw's feat of pitching two consecutive no-hit games against Boston and Brooklyn set an all-time major league record. He is 23, 6 ft. tall, weighs 190 and calls Midland Park, NJ his home town."

Check it out...
