JULY pickups

[Scott Garner]

In 1938 the Yankees Monte Pearson became the 1st to throw a no-hitter in Yankee Stadium.
Here is a 1939 mechanical pencil shaped like a bat with Monte Pearson's facsimile autograph. Neat item off of eBay...

[Bumpus Jones]

Very nice Scott!

Just picked up this c. 1923 Yankee Stadium box chair. (If anyone is interested in purchasing a Yankee Stadium 1923 folding slat-backed seat, please let me know.)

Very nice seat Dave! Going along with the seats. I picked up a Briggs/Tiger Stadium box seat from 1912. The red seat is from Engel Stadium in Chattanooga. Babe Ruth, Harmon Killebrew, Satchel Paige and Negro League teams have played there.

^^^ Love the stadium seats!

I was finally able to cross a long sought after item off my wantlist. Mike Egner (the pennant guy; Lefty147 on the board) picked this up in Missouri and sold it to me. After some hard fought negotiations , Mike got about 60% of what he was after and I paid double what I wanted . Mike is in Boise and I'm in Salt Lake...he didn't want to ship it and I didn't want to drive six hours and burn $125 in gas...as it so happens, I have a Las Vegas friend whose son lives in Boise. He had a trip planned anyway, so he picked it up and hand delivered it to me. I spent some time cleaning it up and put a new 15' cord on it with an in-line switch. I think it ended up where it was meant to be . The two shown in another picture are two I already owned. I think there's one more...

Cool chair, David!

I just realized that I'd posted this in the pre-wwII section by mistake...sorry about that.

These don't compare to some of the items you guys are throwing down, but I was super excited to add them to my 1948 Bowman set.



Can see the rest of the set here:

Those sre really cool but I don't know the "story" on them. Did Spading sell them to whoever might want to hand them out? What year(s) were they produced? How many would you say are in circulation? Are some poses/positions rarer than others?

yes, they were ordered through catalogs for anyone who wanted them.

I haven't an idea how many are of each but I know that they are tough to find.

I have always heard that the catcher is the toughest but I have also heard that the batter is too.

They are quite big and heavy btw.
