I picked this up off eBay Wednesday afternoon, and amazingly, it arrived in my post office box the following morning.

Yes, it's the Native Sons of the Golden West.

Thanks for the better close-ups Brock! Those are just gorgeous... I especially love the early logos of the Tigers, Pirates and Cubs (all of which I'd never seen before).

Ironically, the two you're still seeking were included in the Mastro Auction of many years back. The 3 that they offered at the time were Red Sox, Giants, and Athletics (which you already have).

Also... beautiful Uniform Chris! So rare to find that color and style in vintage Unis. And that Bear Patch is "off the charts" cool.

I've always been drawn to the MLB lifetime passes. Just picked up these two issued to Al Simmons.

The paper passes didn't survive in as many numbers as the metal passes. The gold pass for Simmons is actually made of 10 karat gold.

If you like these kind of passes, there are many more on the CooperstownExpert.com site on this page.

Players' passes there include Simmons, Sliding Billy Hamilton, Bobby Wallace, Stan Coveleski, Joe Sewell, Ned Garver,Harvey Haddix, Dick Williams, Dave Parker, Minnie Minoso, Joe Cronin, and George Boomer Scott.

Also there are letters from Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson, and Fred Clarke thanking Ford Frick for their passes.

Lifetime passes to the Hall of Fame issued to Early Wynn and Joe McCarthy are also on the page.

If you go to the site, search for your favorite player and check it out. Thanks for looking.

Was able to add two seldom seen items to my Cleveland Baseball Magazines Collection this month. A Jul 1948 Swift News Magazine with Bob Feller on the cover, and a Nov 3 1955 Beisbol Magazine from Mexico with Ralph Kiner on the cover.

The Ralph Kiner cover put me over 100 different Cleveland Baseball magazine subjects in my collection. Always looking for more!

Picked up this 1910-15 JF Hillerich & Son bat. Looks like there's part of the decal still on the barrel. Nice burnt finish with tape on the handle.

Picked up this cool LA train ticket with an advertisement for the PCL's Opening Day in 1940; Chuck Eisenmann pitching. I've seen a few of these before and have been on the lookout for a while:
