April Pick Up Thread

[71buc]

I picked up a couple of more pieces of original art from artist Ronnie Joyner. They were featured in the Pirates On Deck magazine in 1996 celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 1971 Championship. To the right of the art is the final product as it appeared in print.

Finally scanned this one, it's a massive 22 X 30 inches.

From the April 18, 1909 Sunday Public Ledger, it shows opening day at Shibe Park...

I believe so. If you were to find the April 18, 1909 issue of the Public Ledger, it should be inside.

just picked up these two items from a massive collection here in Southern California. First, a 1979 Keith Hernandez game used batting helmet with excellent use. Then the best item, a 30" tall folk art piece of Babe Ruth signing for a young fan. After purchasing only did I find out that it was created by famed folk artists Bill and Phyllis Duffy. Super cool if the wife lets me keep it..

I love it when a dealer doesn’t read the front of a trophy. 1938 Jack Kramer doubles tennis trophy as a teenager.

A local antique store selling on Instagram during the pandemic. I mean, three minutes of research and they could have figured it out, but I guess it was easier to slap on a price and be done with it.

Makes guys like us very happy, right?
