July Pickups

[Kzoo]

Guys...........I'm thrilled to have picked up this 1929 Purdue Big 10 Champions pillow case this morning at an antique show. The colors and condition are fantastic with only a few small moth holes in the felt. It measures almost 2 feet square including the tassels. And the best part is that my wife loves it, too! Do folks usually frame these, as it's a little thick?

It's been a looong time since I've picked up anything. Found this 'gem' the other day. It's small which is why I picked it up. It's 1 size up from a gem (1/2" x 1") ie 1/16 plate (1 5/8" x 2 1/8"). If I ever wanted to do a tintype run to compete with all the T206 guys on the other side of the house, I'm confident that I'd have a near set of all sizes (including a few gems) except for full plate

It's mounted between two different card stocks. I'm certain that I've seen this exact player in another format/size but unable to find it on google atm.

I don't post a lot of new acquisitions, but man am I psyched to have this.

Great photo Steve, think only second one known?

Just picked this up
I think it is early 20’s but would like info on age value and if worth restoring or if it can be restored or leave as is
Imprinted on one side is “Johnstone” other side says “pat pending “
Any info on this item would be great
Thanks in advance

Picked this up at the last RMY auction. Love the photo and if this is really signed I would be super excited. Did some quick research and found an Andy Cooper card signed from and auction and a ball signed by the team with Biz Mackey and signatures look pretty close.

PS: My photos are too large, so hopefully this link works.

I picked up these over sized photos in Pittsburgh while at the Clemente Museum. Although they aren’t type 1s they are printed off the original negatives and I thought they were attractive enough to share here.

Picked up a nice 1920s Frank Frisch 40K bat. There's a small "R" stamped on the knob. I wonder what that could of been for?
