Wow, there are some nice items here! I have debated doing a run of this pose as I have always thought it is terrific.

Didn't make the majors until he was 28 and was pretty washed up by 33. Had a great run though.

Default Less than 10 year minimum
Unfortunately Chief Meyers didn't make the 10 year playing minimum requirement. He was the best offensive catcher of his day.

Bryan,

My display has the T5 Pinkerton Cabinet, Pinkerton PC, Max Stein PC, 1915 Cracker Jack, and BF2 Pennant!

Patrick

T205 and 1914 Pritchard Stamp.

My favorite thing about these stamps is the "© P.T." in the bottom-left corner, for the Paul Thompson photo.

Hey I'm way past 33. Just talking about Chief, not in general!

Default Chief Meyers on 5/19/1914 re: Matty's win #342 that tied for 4th on All Time list
Here's a letter dated May 19, 1914 signed by Chief Meyers on the day he caught Christy Mathewson's 342nd career win.

The Native American from the Cahuilla culture writes, “In the game today, with the Cincinnati club with Mathewson pitching, I used the Model C.M. Catcher’s Mitt, made for me by your firm yesterday."

The rest of the letter is worth reading too. This letter and many other autographs can be found on CooperstownExpert.com, a site that has pages for every Hall of Famer and more than 250 other baseball men.

Hope you can enjoy it.
