February Pick Ups

I know this isn't quite prewar, but it is a rarity I will not be selling.

I’ve been after one of these, still in the bag, for a while. This was the first bobbin’ head ever. They produced Giants, D**gers, Braves and White Sox. 98 cents in 1960. You can see how the color base series got its mold.

To celebrate the Eagles finally winning a Superbowl, I picked up a full run of home ticket stubs from 1960, the last time the Eagles won a NFL championship.

Recent pickup I finally got around to taking some pictures, if anything it is a bit nicer than I remembered it being. No glove, tag or anything else inside. I had posted about this in the BST and wanted the people that asked to see it had a chance if they forgot to check back there. I'd love to find the glove that originally came with it, there are low grade examples available but I'd like a nice blue one.

I have no idea why the pictures are sideways here but they are oriented normally on my website?

I'm really stoked to have added this circa 1930's 36" Ernie Lombardi H & B "Blue Streak" bat to my Vander Meer "double no-hit" collection.
"The Schnozz" was Vandy's catcher for both of his back-to-back no-hitters on June 11th and June 15th, 1938.

This bat will be a nice complimentary piece and will join two Vandy model bats that I have in my collection.

Can any of our resident bat experts share what they know about this particular Lombardi model bat being called a "Blue Streak"? I'm guessing it's because Lombardi could hit up a blue streak (career .300 hitter, but arguably the slowest runner in baseball history), but I am curious. Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Love the glove box! Can’t beat something w/Brooks and Clemente pictured.

I can see why Lombardi was known as The Schnozz!
