Scott, that is an awesome find. It still amazes me every time you come up with yet another great Vandy or Ryan find...but I should be used to it by now. LOL. I hope 2019 continues your good fortune.

These are my favorite pickup of the year. I have been on the lookout for Fed stubs for the past 5 years or so and my only pickups have been paper coupons from a season ticket book to pick up to hard stubs one from 1914 and one from 1915 was a big win for my collection. Thanks to Al and the folks at loce of the game.

This is undoubtedly the most important item I picked up this season. This is the first contract that Roy Campanella signed with the Dodgers. The exact story is presented differently in different places, but what is clear is that Campanella never played in Danville after there was pushback to the idea of integrating the league. Instead, he ended up playing in Nashua.

Campanella was either the 3rd of 4th African American to sign with a Major League team and certainly the most significant after Jackie Robinson. The story of his signing and the pushback also captures some of the complexity of integration.
