March Pick Ups

[71buc]

It's always exciting to learn something new. Especially when it relates to a subject you thought you knew a lot about. I picked up this ticket and program. They are from a charity exhibition game billed as the 8th game of the 1971 World Series played at RFK on May 22, 1972. The Pirates were defeated by the Orioles 5-2 on that date. Other than the games location and final score I could not locate any additional I information.

Thanks Matt...

I missed it the first time, so I was happy to get it now. Did not think that it was going to happen, but it fits in with my other negro leaguers, so I am pretty stoked about it!

Awesome Al what a pick up!

Always wanted to add a Yasiel Puig gamer to my collection. I think he is really funny to watch, plus when he connects, he can send one to the moon.

So naturally, I bought one from a seller on ebay who had no COA and some sketchy feedback. That's ok, right? He threw in some game used (and signed) gloves too!

Seriously, I sent it off to PSA, and it turned out the seller was legit!

If i may ask for a item worth that much $$, do they still send it regular mail or in a armored truck.

[ksfarmboy]

Great bat Al and congrats!

Yah I was just kiddn about it being Kirks.

And, if you can videotape the police escort of the mailman down your street, would love to see its arrival.

Off eBay I picked up this Dugout Lineup card (written in manager Earl Weaver's hand) from Cal Ripken Jr.'s rookie season of 1982...I had to do a little research to determine it was from the game of 08/02/82 vs. Boston

That may be the highest $ item ever posted by a forum member. Not that that's all that important, but it's good to see posts by guys who actually bid on this highest-end stuff.

G-R-E-A-T item!

[Shoeless Moe]

Guessing its 1940's or 1950's (not in hand yet) although they had them in the 1930's and 1960's too, but for the 60's the style & wording changed. They actually started in Wrigley in 1928.

Seems to match up pretty well with the ones in the 1938 Homer in the Gloamin' by Gabby Hartnett at Wrigley Field pix and the 1945 World Series with Detroit and the Billy Goat Curse pix.

Again, I've seen the "newer" 1960's and 1970's style cap at auction before, but not this older version.

[Dave Grob]

Paul,

Congrats. Want to guess who the under bidder was?

I don't know what the Gibson bat sold for, but Corey Shanu.s posted some high $$ stuff back in the day.

[Dewey2007]

I picked up this July 14, 1933 SF Seals ticket stub in the recent Mears Auction. This is the game that an 18-year old Joe DiMaggio got a hit in his 50th straight game to break the PCL hit streak record. He would go on to hit in 61 straight games that season. I thought it was a pretty cool Joe DiMaggio related ticket from the hit streak before the hit streak. Seems like it was pretty common for his last name to get misspelled that year. Even the watch the Mayor of SF game him had his name spelled DeMaggio.

From what I could gather this ticket stub was part of a pair of stubs from this game that originated from the DiMaggio family collection and sold by Hunt Auctions in 2006. Another ticket from this game was sold in a separate lot in the same auction and those are the only 3 tix that have surfaced from this particular game.

Cool ticket pickup, Dewey! Congrats.

The Gibson went for $240K in Heritage. I forgot about Corey's stuff - how could I?

I'm still wondering how, with my meager collecting budget, I'm not constantly jealous of these guys!

Me too. I’m just glad I get to rub elbows with the heavy hitters.
