It's great, isn't it? Vintage baseball is great - if McGraw were around today, there's a good chance he'd be a manager/player that I do not like. Since he was living long before I was born, I have no idea what he was 'really' like - and he's one of my favorites. One of the great things about this hobby - I can place whatever feelings I have towards a player without being swayed by what team he was on, etc.

On a note, personally, I am going through a lot of crap right now, and having got back w one of my best friends, who is involved in the hobby, and reading/seeing all that you guys post on here, and your collections, its a huge positive. Thank you for everything, and keep it up.

Scott - don't let the bastards get you down.
You are one of the good guys here, exposing bogus autographs and reporting them.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks, tho I just have a casual knowledge, not like you and others.

I mainly meant personal stuff, aside from here, and how this forum, for the most part..haha, is a great release, w all the knowledge, and great cards and autos and memorabilia people discuss/display.

Here's Carl Hubbell's jacket, in the current Heritage auction ending April 23. His number "11" is penned in vintage ink in the collar.

One of the most sought after pieces in the hobby is this 1951 Ticket Stub from the third and final game of the 1951 N.L. playoffs (thanks goes out to Richard Simon). This ticket entitled it's owner admission into the Polo Grounds to bare witness to Baseball's most incredible moment... "The shot heard 'round the world".

Also a nice little Giants pocket Schedule from '51 as well.

And a pair of vintage original TYPE I photographs. One very famous image, as Thompson connects with the ball that will forever change his life. And moments later, Bobby kissing his now historic bat...
