Here you go Alan. Ebay pickup around 2017-2018. Edges aren't perfectly cut and I've wondered if it would have been a larger sheet at one time all with multiples of this one image with a different sheet with one of the other images?? Not sure how the setup would have looked.

It's a copper "press plate" used to make the middle postcard i posted at the beginning of the thread. Same size as postcard. I'm pretty sure I posted it several years back when I first got it. Just posted this go round to correspond with the postcard I just picked up.

Been awhile since I’ve had a post in pickups…
My collecting focus has shifted from vintage baseball to game used hockey memorabilia…

Wanted to share this one, and I’m open to finding it a new home.

1973-75 Ron Blomberg k75 36” Louisville Slugger

Bat has some ligh grain separation on the reverse. Excellent even patina, and widespread evidence of use with ball, seem, and rack marks.

The bat is also marked with Blomberg’s patented star on the knob (albeit light)

Blomberg became the first DH in baseball, is widely adored in New York sports, and became a member of the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2004.

Dave, that bat is beautiful!

I'm assuming this lighter is from 1968, due to the corresponding pocket schedule.
