April 2022 Pickups

[Chris-Counts]

Thanks to a board member, Brian, I picked up this wonderful snapshot of Satchel Paige, which was taken at Perris Hill Park in San Bernardino in the spring of 1952. After studying the background, I realized I had seen the field's distinctive fence and pine trees before on several Bowman cards ...

Congrats Chris! Love the snapper of Satch!

While I rarely deviate from my pursuit of 19th C. equipment and imagery, sometimes an item comes along that’s too nice to pass up. For me, those such pieces have to be associated with the NY teams and players of the 1950s and, in this instance, it was a Willie Mays glove.

Just this past week I added this superb MacGregor, G105, Mays personal model glove. It’s big, soft, supple, high quality, and stamped deeply with a pristine mfg patch to boot.

Beautiful glove Jon. I still have my Macgregor Mays “WM” personal model I bought in 1958. Yours has the next generation web I think.

Thanks, Bruce…and, I’d love to see the WM model sometime, too. From what I can gather, the patch on mine dates it to the 1956-1958 timeframe. That said, I do have to admit that I don’t have as much experience with MacGregors as I do with Rawlings products, so a bit more fact finding to do before I can say 56’, 57’, or 58’ or some other year all together.

I must say that I would like to see a thread reflecting examples of high grade/personal model gloves from the stars of the 1950s. Maybe that’s the next rainy day project for me

That's a really nice one, Ed. Congrats!
FYI, I'm actually still looking for one of these Sandy Koufax pinbacks if anyone has one to sell
