Graig...
That Greenberg image is a stunner. Cannot wait to see ther impending masterpiece! Joseph... No worries on the A's/Braves Knife (it's real). I was watching that one for a long time, and had my finger on the trigger a couple of times. Never quite pulled it, so I am glad it went to a good home! I was able to acquire this epic statue from Hunt's over the weekend.... it a genuine Muller Batter from 1868. One of the first baseball statues ever created, and a super rare piece. Being a collector of this figural stuff (and as rarely as these come along) I was praying to land either this one or the Pitcher, which I believe to be even more scarce. Apparently the participating bidders thought so too! Some interesting prices realized at Hunts... some were very high, but lots of great deals as well. I know the dreadful weather probably kept some potential live bidders away. Any other Hunt winners- please post! |

Nice shootin on the Muller statue Mark! It doesn't get much better than that.
Here is an early postcard from the Hall of Fame which shows the statues prominently displayed on the fireplace mantle. |

Here's my latest acquisition in the category of "It looks really cool but isn't worth much." These colorful images were clipped from issues of the Sunday News in the 1940s. They beautifully capture baseball in the WWII era. I've posted a link if you'd like to see more ...

These are two of the finest pieces of china I've seen and certainly the most detailed and scarcest I own. I love the detail. They are Villeroy and Boch circa 1880s. I just love em!
