Hey Michael,

Nice pickups! That Mack was mine. Hope you enjoy it.

If you are looking for some tougher Japanese HOF auto's, drop me a line. I have a bunch of 1931 Tour of Japan signed photos which have a mix of US and Japanese players including some of the earliest and in my understanding, toughest HOFers. (I also have a collection of 20+ 1934 US Tour of Japan photos of just American players, similar to the Mack)

I just picked up this itinerary from LOTG. It's basically 36 pages of "leave here; arrive here; play here." It makes a nice companion piece to my shoulder bag which probably belonged to Bobby Bonds, since it came from the same source as Bobby's suitcase. LOTG had some great Tour of Japan stuff, from manager Clyde King. It all went cheap, IMO. I would have liked to bid on the watch, cufflinks, kimono and pillow but I let a fellow Giants collector go after those....a fellow Giants collector who forgot to bid.

Great pickups Rob. They definitely belong in your collection.

Jonathan, that Banks Hartland looks likes it's pristine. Very nice.

That Kimino is pretty damn cool! I hope it comes around again at some point and you have a chance to get.

The back has a big Giants logo. If another comes around, it will probably go for 5X that price. ,

I am pleased to have picked up these two 1924 photos, one of Sam Rice and one of Walter Johnson, in the RMY auction that just ended. Each of these photos matches one of their more obscure baseball cards. The Rice
photo matches his 1926 Sports Co. of America card (shown below).

The 1924 photo of WaJo matches his 1921-22 or 1922 (depending on the hobby reference) Schapira Bros. Big Show Candy card (shown below), and this puzzles me. Assuming the September 17, 1924, date in the caption on the back of this photo is correct, this suggests to me that the issue date for this card set has to be later than that shown in hobby references. Might there be another explanation that I haven't thought of?
