October Pick Up Thread

[jpop43]

Admittedly, this was a very tail end of September pick-up but I LOVE it and wanted to share.

Always on the lookout for 1860s-1870s era equipment and images, and I've very much enjoyed trading for them with fellow board members of late.

Happy Hunting!

As I've already said, that is an early one. It would have a tax stamp if it was issued from 1864-1866. It doesn't have the line or lines framing the image that 1865-1869 cdvs usually have. Could it be pre-1864? Probably not, but it's not impossible. Is the mount thin? Could the once square corners have been rounded by time? What is the history of the Canton NY team?

After doing a search on Protoball, I found a mention of a St Lawrence team from Canton NY. St Lawrence University is in Canton. The refererence is from 1867. This doesn't mean this team didn't exist before 1867. Nor does it mean this team is your Canton team, but it's a start.

Very nice pickup Jon.

Yes, Gary, I'd love to try and find all that out, too.

The mount, in comparison to my other CDVs is thin and, while we may never know for sure, the corners may have been originally squared...the wear and erosion of time has relegated this to speculation.

I just love the image itself though...the pose, the dress, the studio, etc., all say "early"...just how early?? Maybe pre-1864...who knows?? The tax stamp dating would be nice and very helpful, but I kinda don't think we're looking at anything later than 1866-1867 on this one.

I may have to try and find out who G.R. Barber (Barker??) was. So, the research begins!

Wow! There are some incredible pickups this month. I'm almost embarrassed to post these. I took a chance on a scrapbook listed on eBay. Ive never done that prior to this. I was pleased to see that it contained almost 30 pages of clippings related to the 1971 Pirates. The person who constructed it did a great job. There were also a couple of 1971 stubs I needed. However, the real hidden gem in it was a rare 1958 Team Issued Roberto Clemente. PSA has graded six of these to date. It was scotch taped in the book so I used a blow dryer to remove it. Although there was some residual adhesive left on the corners there was no paper loss.

I also picked up the blue version of the 1971 Iron City Beer tie. These were given to players and staff. I had a red one originating from Bob Moose already. There was a black one owned by Bob Prince in the Alleghany Club at Three Rivers. I was unaware that the blue version existed. Nonetheless these are the only three examples I have ever seen. Have any other Pirate collectors come across these in other colors?

Great stuff. One of my favorite all time players was Manny Sanguillen. A real treasure.

Great stuff, Mike!! I'm guessing (hoping) you got it for a great price?
