October Pickups

[thenavarro]

Got some pretty sweet items last night. Here's how the auction house described the lot. "Russell Athletic Dallas Cowboys football jersey, with an embroidered "25" star sewn on left chest, and screened with the numbers "84" and "Bush" on the upper back, size 44, signed on the back in black felt tip, "G. Bush, 1-16-98" and "G. W. Bush." This was one of the two jerseys that the Dallas Cowboys football team—represented by Coach Tom Landry and quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Danny White—gave to President Ronald Reagan and Vice President George Bush at the Republican National Convention held at the Loews Anatole on August 22, 1984; the "25" star signifying the silver anniversary of the Cowboys franchise. Also included is a color semi-glossy 9.75 x 7.75 photo of Reagan and Bush holding up their respective jerseys, signed and inscribed in the lower border in black felt tip, "To Ron Wade, my friend, Good luck, George Bush," and a color glossy 10 x 8 photo of Bush standing next to Wade just moments after signing the jersey, signed and inscribed in black felt tip, "To Ron Wade—Good Luck—George Bush." Reverse of both photos bear collector's notations indicating that the photo and jersey signatures were obtained in the former president's Houston office on January 16, 1998. In overall fine condition.

Very cool piece that also includes a book about the jersey.

Very excited to get 2 baseballs signed by Chelcie Ross (Eddie Harris from the movie, Major League).

The first is my "Major League" signed ball. Chelcie put a great signature right under Snipes. Unfortunately I'm still missing Sheen though. I sent out the ball for the MAB signing in August, and Sheen refused to sign any mail order items... UGH!

The second ball is just a stand-alone ball. Chelcie put a great signature on the sweet spot and added his "Jobu" quote on the side panel!

Happy to pick up this 8x10 Burke photo with a vintage Greenberg sig (probably late 30's/early 40's). Obvious condition issues on the border, but couldnt pass it up.

It seems like I continue to pick up unusual Charlie Robertson related items in 2017.
Many thanks to net54's Jeff Potter for selling me this unusual playing day autograph cut of CWS perfect game pitcher Charlie Robertson.
Charlie was obviously having some fun when he signed this ledger or team sheet most likely sometime between 1922-1928. Instead of Charlie, he instead signed it "Many Hit" Robertson, which is an obvious wink that prior to signing it he hurled a no-hit, no-run game that was the first game to ever be called a "perfect game" by the newspaper scribes the next day.
