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

Very cool! So was it included with the newspaper at the time?

A low end (like most of my stuff) pick up for my Giants collection. I like its third use as a "Party Bag."

I recently picked up this 1949-50 Acebo Chuck Connors premium (thanks Ryan!) to go with my card.

Picked this up at Love of Game. McGinty and McGraw pictured on cover of this 1904 scorecard in very nice shape.

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

Of the 62 m101-1 TSN supplements this is #43 for me.

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..

From Brockelman?
If so that used to be mine!

[ooo-ribay]

Great pickups, Fred!

Even if Babe is a little too slim and signing with a pencil.

Picked up this lighter, ca. 1957.

Apparently, Minneapolis was trying to woo the New York Giants before they settled on San Francisco. Tony Felicetta was a high school dropout turned Teamster Union boss in Minneapolis. From all accounts, he totally fit the bill as the typical tough talking 1950's union boss.
