The provenance that accompanies it and the boldness of signature really set it apart as being exceptional and a perfect fit for my personal collection. The fact that Goldsmith's base of operations was in Cincinnati is an additional bonus.

Many thanks to net54's Chris Gamble for offering it to me. Friendships are what make the collecting hobby special and fun.

Great pickup Scott! Your collection is one of my favorites. I love seeing your additions. Congrats!

While I collect advertising pieces, my favorite types of advertising pieces to collect are ads advertising baseball cards and this one I am very pleased to have won. While not in the best of condition, I am pretty sure that there are not too many of these around:

Scott and Mike, great pick ups! I love to see collections, such as yours, that are so focused.

Dave, your collection continues to amaze me and your focus is one of the best - BRAVO!

Dan, that Winchester piece is briliant!

Dave,
I would look for a photo featuring this piece in the Reds yearbook from the next year as a starting point.

[Dave Grob]

Have already looked in the 1953 and 1954 Yearbooks as well as the News of Reds from 1953. My sensing is this is more of civic (town) or organizational (company) effort as opposed to one organized by the 1953 Cincinnati Redlegs. Also no mention of anything in the Sporting News or for the 1953 entries in Rhodes & Snyder "Redleg Journal."

Rob, very nice cdv! I was going to bid on that lot just because of this one. It reminds me of some of the player outfits and stances in the 1865 Creighton woodcut.
