I have a few others that are similiar in my collection. This is by far the largest. The Clemente family photo is from 1970 and the Duke Snider is a 1956 photo.

Really like the Clemente family photo!

May have just stumbled upon a gem. A 1947-48 National League baseball signed by former commissioner John A. Heydler. The ball itself is almost perfect. Can’t find a single-signed ball of his anywhere, so yay for me!

So on May 2nd, 1954 Stan Musial became the first player to hit 5 HRs in a doubleheader. Attending the game in St. Louis was an 8 year old named Nate Colbert. On August 1st, 1972 he became the second player to achieve the feat. The only two times it has happened. Was able to finally find the Colbert ticket and it's a full. Tough from Atlanta.

Nice, Randall!
I'm glad that you were finally able to get the deal on the Nate Colbert ticket done. Congrats!

Happy to add this childhood photo of me bench to the collection... signed on the reverse a bit later in life...

"Nice. Any player attribution?"

It was sold as a Lou Kretlow cap, but I'm not certain since there's another early Orioles cap that exists with Lou's signature on the underside of the bill. But it's definitely a 1954-56 cap with the rectangular McAuliffe tag.
