From a board member. Anyone have any dope on this piece? Looks like a large presentation piece to mgt, players?

1907 Highlander's photo.... Very Nice ...what is the size??

[BuzzD]

It is 16 x 22 without the cardboard mount. It is a little weird that 2 photos are not identified. Webb appears to have been a known commercial photographer in NY area at turn of century. Team must have provided a bunch of photos and he did his thing. One of the 2 photos may be Neal Ball. No clue on the other. Might be Baerwald, who played as John Bell. Perhaps he could not distinguish between the two? Chase has 2 photos that both look like Chase. There is name of Al Orth on the reverse of the mount. Possibly from his estate? He played in 1907 but isn't in the composite...

Happy to pick up this 1928 World Series ticket (Press Ticket) - It includes stamps for Game 3 and Game 4 from the Series....

Babe Ruth hit Three Home Runs in Game #4 and Lou Gehrig hit Three Home Runs (Game #3 Two Home Runs and Game #4 One Home Run)

2019 was slow but 2020 is starting off very strong. I've been searching for this particular woodcut for nearly 10 years! This is the one Leslie's woodcut that just should not exist. It is dated as 10/6/83 and depicts the Philadelphia BBC but all other bound and unbound publications of this date show a non-baseball print. I can only imagine that this came out at a different time or location. Super excited to cross this one off my list

If you do come across another one, please send me a message as I'd like to see some of the other pages. I'm probably one of the only people who cares about this stuff but wanted to share nonetheless. Happy collecting!

HOLY GRAIL item of sorts. First ever game ticket for the Washington Capitals back in 1974. EBay search finally pays off after 20 years. And it’s a full ticket!

Gotta love finally deleting a search, after 20 years!

Minor correction--it depicts the Athletic Base Ball Club, champions of the American Association. The Philadelphia Base Ball Club of the National League were not champions until 1915.

That is a great piece, and you are not the only person who cares!

Congrats on the pickup.

Added a nice Chickering mailing envelope as a companion piece, to go along with my Beaneater cabinets.
