Pete Runnels was my favorite Washington Senators player when I was a youngster, and I collect his cards and memorabilia items. I just acquired this 1958 Hires Root Beer contract signed by Runnels (Runnels' 1958 Hires card is shown for context), thanks to Rocky R./NiceDocter.

Was able to pick up this really nice circa 33/34 Kiki Cuyler game used bat.

Wonderful bat from Cuyler's days as a regular. It's from a 34-35 order, but it's not powerized, and the writing below the label is associated with earlier models.
It's not clear to me from your photo what is Light Foil about the bat, but it's an interesting case study.

The foil stamp is to the right of the center brand. You can make out where it says "Powerized and Oil Tempered"

It's crazy how stuff like that turns up! Nice pickup.

This has been on my wantlist for quite some time. Not easy to find and I got it for 40% of my max ebay bid. That never happens to me anymore. I also have a carry on bag from the same tour. My bag may well have belonged to Bobby Bonds, because it came from a guy who had Bobby's suitcase (which I also own0. Here's a picture of Bobby with a couple of his kids. One went on to be a pretty decent ballplayer.

Such a cool combination, Val. I'd be tempted to get them archivally framed together.
