Unique and obscure Pieces tied to your favorite players.

I have a few items I guess I would consider unique. I suppose this was the most fun in terms of significance and the necessary research. I purchased a collection of slides shot by a Pittsburgh based amateur photographer between 1970 and 1972. Those years are primary focus in my collecting efforts. This series of original 35 mm slides capture Clementes 3000th hit. They were shot from the third baseline and provide a perspective of that moment previously unseen. They also show the Mets outfielders throwing that ball in, Clemente on second, third, and scoring his last run and subsequently being greeted by his teammates in the dugout after that historic moment. For anyone interested here is the thread I posted six years ago about this addition to my collection.

Man, the items shown above are very unique and type of stuff I like to collect more than the common, run of the mill, items.

Love the personalization of this. Great pose as well!

That's the best handwriting I've seen from Brooks Robinson, who was always one of my favorites.

I have several photos of the scoreboard of the old Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. Home of the St. Louis Browns (now Baltimore Orioles) from 1902-1953 and the St. Louis Cardinals from 1920-1966.

Why the picture of the scoreboard? If you look in the lower left corner of the scoreboard you can barely make out the words "Kirn Signs". George Kirn was my grandfather. The sign company was started by his father. Unfortunately, I never got to meet either of them as they both died when my mom was very young.

Never got to meet them but I get to admire their work!

LOL, you have the Creative Creations Series 4 packaging (with 1 marble) and I have the complete Series 4 set of marbles, but no packaging!
