March pick-ups!!

It's gotta be a Chicago Athletic Club plate. They were around for nearly 100 years I believe. For $9.99, I'd keep it.

Interestingly, on their web site they used to claim that the Cubs logo was "borrowed" from them. Not true, but it sounded good.

Those tabs at the bottom of 1950s Red Man baseball cards were redeemable for "a big league style baseball cap". I picked up this nice looking old Cardinals cap yesterday at a local show. It didn't occur to me until I was home that it might just be one of those caps. It's flat....the bill has never been curved...which implied it might have been mailed. Can anyone confirm my theory?

That's Awesome Rick! What a pick-up. Talk about a companion piece. Just great. Now all you need is a vintage pouch of Red Man and a card or two and you'll have built a perfect time machine.

I don't have this yet, but its a pencil sketch done by a teenager..Not bad for that age, huh?

I bought the envelope and brochure separately, but it seems like they belong together.

Now next up for you should be the Huskies Pin. They surface a couple times a year on ebay but I'm fairly certain that you can snag one at the National.

Best, Jimmy

Thanks Jimmy,
This and the "Knot Hole" stuff are at the top of my list of things to get over the next few years.

This is just great fun to find.
