Recent Pickup
Great pickups guys.
I recently picked up a cabinet photo of a Reading Coal Heavers baseball player of the Atlantic League. The player is Ned Garvin who went on to play some major league baseball. Garvin played for the Coal Heavers from 1897 to 1899. I included a photo of his 1903 E107 Breisch-Williams card from his time with the White Sox. He also played in the majors with the Phillies, Highlanders, and Superbras.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Edited to add: A Superbras team photo! Well played, Rob D. Last edited by Kawika; 06-25-2009 at 02:16 PM.

IMO this is probably not Ned Garvin. Keep in mind that he was a very gaunt and skinney 6'4" 160 lbs. This guy's proportions don't seem right for that.
And yeah - the ears also don't seem to be quite right. I can try to be more analytical over the weekend if requested. Last edited by bmarlowe1; 06-24-2009 at 11:06 PM.

Here is a side by side comparison. If my theory is right,Garvin is about 5 years younger in the cabinet photo than in the 1903 card. I have been searching for another photo of garvin that is a different angle, but I haven't come up with much yet. It is tough to see the ears in the cabinet photo, and with that, I didn't think the ears could be a big id help with this photo, but I could be wrong. I am hoping to get some help from a local historical society with a team photo that could give me the definitive id.

The heads are at slightly different angles - but the most easily seen difference is the outline the partially hidden right ears (viewer's left). Garvin's protrudes more in the middle, the Reading player's angles towards the head from the top of the ear.

A buddy of mine called me today from a garage sale and said they had some Lincoln Chiefs stuff....I was there in about 5 minutes.
 Picked up a 59 ticket booklet that still has 7 unused tickets in it, 2 1953 team photos (Which I didn't have yet) and a 55 and a 58 team photo (both of which I have more than one of already...but I'm a hoarder of Lincoln stuff). What is strange is that I had never come across a ticket booklet for the Chiefs in a very long time of collecting this stuff and I've found three now in just two weeks.
