Fell asleep but left a max bid and happy to wake up to see I won this Panoramic photo of the 1927 Philadelphia Royal Giants featuring two of my favorites Biz Mackey and Andy Cooper which toured Japan in 1927.

Congrats! I was wondering who might win that. I had wanted to pursue that hard, but didn't have the budget at the moment.

Congrats on an incredible item!

Latest addition to the collection which has a personal meaning to our family. My wife’s cousin plays football at the the Air Force Academy and we were able to acquire his jersey and pants that he wore in the Air Force vs Navy game this year. It honors the Doolittle Raiders from World War 2. I’m a history buff so I was very excited with the reference to Doolittle raiders!

^^^^ Crazy cool uniform. I’m guessing Air Force probably won? Did #62 enter the game? The uniform looks pristine.

He did not play in the game and I agree that it’s a cool uniform. Airforce beat Navy 17-6 in the game

Here is an interesting ticket that I think our Pittsburgh residents would appreciate. The Pittsburgh Athletic Association (PAA) was an important and influential social club and athletic club that opened in 1908. They were an iconic fixture of Oakland, two blocks from Forbes Field. They fielded many accomplished teams in track, hockey and basketball.

This ticket was for their first outdoor track meet at Forbes Field, in October 1909 - just three months after Forbes Field opened.

As a side note, the Earl Christy girls or Gibson Girls are pretty neat too.

Added another one to the scoreboard collection.
