Was happy to pick this up... another toughie to find in nice condition!

This is the one I had before:

It was restored and I paid (well you can see what I paid from Hunt's) and I consigned it to Bill Mastro a few years back and said I would wait for a "nicer" exemplar. Well, after what I paid, it "sold" in Mastro's for ~$1100, and I netted close to $900 after commission, etc.

So, one day I am perusing the boards here and, lo and behold, Dr. Mark Cooper, noted baseball game expert (of whom I have had his book for years) and he helped me acquire this magnificent specimen. He is the best.

Finally, my newspaper was delivered ! (Been looking for this for several years) Also, very early picture of Ed Abbaticchio who played for Nashville in 1902.

Picked up a couple of Original Type I photos of Shea Stadium. One from the 60's and the other one from Game 1 of the '86 World Series.

I have lots of memories going to Shea Stadium. Now that it is gone, I don't know what to think. Citi Field seems like a whole different venue. Sure Shea had its problems, however, I'm glad I was able to get the pair, gives me a smile from the good ol' days.

Nothing quite brings out the emotions like a photograph...


Just picked up this nice pair of vintage Moxie glasses to compliment the other vintage Moxie items I picked up last month...

Two Burkes and a book for me. The first photo is of Gabby Hartnett & Bill Lee (1938) and Bill Dickey on the second one. As for the book, I'm only a few pages into it and enjoying it already.
