That's fantastic! So happy that you landed it, and getting it for a great prices makes it that much sweeter.

Congrats.

That ball is cool, but the scorebook sounds amazing.

Another very cool item I picked up last night while others were focused on that Husker football memorabilia was this book by Christy Walsh that he drew a Babe Ruth cartoon in on the first page and personalized it to Cy Sherman. Sherman was an early sports writer in Lincoln and is credited with giving Nebraska the nickname "Cornhuskers" after years of calling them the Bug Eaters, Tree Planters, Old Gold Knights and Antelopes. Also the Western League baseball park Sherman Field was named for him.

Great book. There is a similar one online for 2850 dollars. I imagine you got your for quite a bit less.

Uh, yeah. Less than 10% of that figure.
