June Pickup Thread

Hi-
I acquired the two pieces scanned below last month, but I did not scan them until recently, so I am counting these as June pickups. Thanks to BigFish (Toby) for the cabinet card! The picture of the Wesley team (most likely from Wesley Maine) was an antique show find. I love the puffy pants in the cabinet photo as well as the possible identification on the back (Churchill, not a known ballplayer, but I still like having a name to go with a photo). With the Wesley team photo, I was drawn to the knob on one of the bats as well as the catcher's mask on the ground.

I don't post much over on this side, but I'm quite happy with some old Life magazines that I purchased at a yard sale the other day. The time honored gentleman had 3 stacks of Life magazines dating from 1957 to 1967. I took my time and searched each magazine looking for sports articles. I ended up buying close to a dozen. The nice man drove a hard bargain, asking me for a dollar for each magazine and three dollars for the one issue with Marilyn Monroe on the cover. Thought that I might share this story. I will post half of a scan since the magazines were so large in those days that they won't all fit on my scanner.

Hi everyone. Im new to the forum, and this stuff is awesome. I am a semi collector, but due to finances, of not a lot, but LOVE the old memorabilia and stuff. Some really cool finds in this thread, esp the Negro league Postcard.

I'm sure many of you saw this on ebay, but I'm happy to add this one to the collection.

Wow Matt, that bat looks even better with your pictures. Awesome pickup and I'm glad you got it.

I'm anxiously awating the arrival of this from Huggins and Scott . . .

Just got this in the mail. Not vintage but another O's favorite.

Hello everyone. I'm brand new to the board but not the hobby. Am basically a news service photo collector but dabble in memorabilia, autographs, and ticket stubs. Here are a few items I just picked up...

My best regards, Jimmy
