That’s cool! Should be a photo out there of the event to put with it.

Picked up this Fatima advertising piece in LOTG auction. Was surprised how big it is . I put an 8x10 with it to show the size

Normally I loath anything remotely related to yard work. However, I was awfully tempted by that shovel. Great pick up, I m more than a bit jealous. In the listing it stated, "THE MEANS IN WHICH THIS SHOVEL WAS OBTAINED WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE WINNING BIDDER ONLY." Can you share the shovels provenance?

I had been watching it for a while and finally pulled the trigger. It came from Joe O'Toole family

Just picked up this letter. Signed by AL president William Harridge, it was very reasonable. Really like the content. Notice the last sentence of the letter.

Here's the link to the page that features the letter.

Nice one, Jim! Very cool.

I've owned this game used White Sox dugout card (9" x 15") from the famous 1993 Ryan vs. Ventura fight game for a couple of years now. The plan all along has been to get it signed by both Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura.

Today I received it back from a Ventura private signing in So Cal & it looks great.
Ventura has notoriously shied away from signing anything associated with this game, so this is a definite win.
One down and Nolan Ryan to go...

This dugout card joins the home and away signed umpire lineup cards from the same game that I own as well.
I managed to find both of them at the National in Chicago 10-15 years ago. I'd love to find the Texas home dugout card from this game to complete the set.

That's a NEAT piece, Scott!

He got like six hits off Nolan that day.
