Share your favorite 2024 Pickups

[Scott Garner]

Great pickups all! Congrats!

I had a few nice pickups in 2024.
Here are my favorites:

* Johnny Vander Meer 7/12/42 shutout trophy ball from his collection.
He saved trophy balls from all 29 of his career shutouts including his two no-hitters.
This ball came from a 3-0 shutout against the Phillies.
13 K's and 4BB and was one of his top performances for strikeouts.

* Early vintage original stadium seat from Redland/Crosley Field.

* Lon Warneke 1941 no-hit pop up advertising piece (both pickups at the National)

* 1973 Nolan Ryan pinup test issue- PSA 8 (only one higher).
This one has always been on my want list- now in the collection

* 1915 Federal League ticket that could have been used for Alex (Miles) Main's no-hitter against the Buffed's

I think I had my luckiest year ever. A few very rare things I had been looking for (Colt 45s pennant, 49ers pennant, Giants PM10s), a few things I did not know existed (green Giants pennant, Santa Clara kicker pennant), something I thought would never be in my budget (NY Giants repco pennant), and a few things I never even really knew I wanted (Robinson and friends pins).
