June Pickups

[JLange]

Sharing a neat pickup that I had not seen before until it popped up in my ebay saved search. This is a 1948 Cleveland Indians Team Photo Poster featuring the newly minted WS champs, issued by Burke Motors from Perth Amboy, NJ. I believe the connection to the team is based on NJ native son Allie Clark, who autographed the poster. It measures about 11" x 9.5" and is in overall Gd-Pr condition with two pinholes, a crease on the left edge, and a mark which is a circle around Allie Clark's pic along with his autograph below left. This photo is different from other more common photos of the 1948 Indians, including the 1948 Baseball Magazine M114 photo shown for comparison. Overall extremely happy with this pickup, and will consider it part of my Indians Type Card collection!

It's been a long time since I posted a pick up. Tonight my drought is over. I've been looking for one of these street banners for many years. I understand they were hung around the city welcoming the Pirates home from Baltimore. There are two versions. This is the larger one measures 39"×39".

Congrats! I wasn’t buying the seller’s description that those “were sold at the ballpark.”

That’s really a great piece and perfect for your collection.

Great pickup Mike. Can't beat nice display pieces like this in my opinion...

Another June pickup. I've been eyeballing this piece for months and the seller finally offered it in my price range. This is a presentation plaque given to Herb Score during the 1993 final season at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium. Measures 22" x 15" or so. The portraits are elevated cutouts resting slightly above the background, making for a very cool plaque when viewed in person. Happy to add this to my collection and it will eventually hang in my office.

Very cool pickup Jason. I love that kind of stuff.

Not sure exactly what this is called. It is the old typewriter copy of the contract between Eddie Mathews and his agent Frank Scott. Now I have 3 different ones, I also have Willie Mays and Al Kaline copies with Frank Scott.

I also picked up this cool Wade Boggs bat. I believe this is a index bat. Meaning it is a pro stock bat ordered by a team and used by anyone needing a bat, just not ordered or used by Wade Boggs. If I am wrong please correct me and let me know what it is.
