I thought this was pretty cool for my Expos collection, They would go on to play their 1st ever game 3 days later at Shea on Aprol 8th 1969

1969 MONTREAL EXPOS *PRE-INAUGURAL SEASON SPRING TRAINING PROGRAM + TICKET STUB

Here's some lumber I picked up this year along with a Yankee stadium sign, a Stan Musial HOF invitation and a 1907 baseball mug which I always wanted.

Everything you picked up is very impressive. Really nice Simmons bat: love the wide grain, the "stripes."

Super cool sign but I’m not sure you can call it a Yankee Stadium sign....more like a sign associated with Yankee Stadium. Very cool, whatever the case.

Thank you guys....yes not a sign from Yankee stadium but close enough. Here is the back of the sign that's marked River Ave and 161st.

2020 was an exceptionally difficult year in many ways.

From a collecting standpoint, I do think being home meant more time and money spent on the hobby than in previous years

There were quite a few highlights, but here are a couple. My collecting focuses are Integration (and related items), lineup cards and WWII related baseball items. I did really well on the first 2 this year.

1) 1945 Kansas City Royals vs Feller All-Stars. Paige vs Feller. They only played a couple of games in 1945 and programs are exceedingly rare. This game featured Jackie Robinson in the lineup 3 weeks before he signed with the Dodgers

2) 1946 Paige All-Stars team signed sheet. Features Paige and fellow HOF Hilton Smith along with other greats including Frank Duncan, Barney Brown, Quincy Trouppe etc.

3) 1937 World Seris Game 2 lineup cards. Yanks featured HOF's Gehrig, DiMaggio, Dickey, Lazzeri and Ruffing along with HOF manager Joe McCarthy (who signed the bottom). The NY Giants featured HOF Mel Ott, and HOF manager Bill Terry who signed the Giants lineup card. It's the oldest WS lineup card I have ever seen.

Great stuff everyone! 2020 was obviously a rough year but we all still have a lot to be thankful for and for me sports memorabilia was no different. These are pieces I've always admired as a Reds collector and I was fortunate enough to add both this year. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
