national pickups

[Rob D.]

I really didn't expect to find much in the way of Indians memorabilia but came away pleasantly surprised. Shown first below is a 1950s kids T-shirt, in the orginal wrapping and adorned with the fabulous Chief Wahoo. I love stuff like this.

Second is a 1960s lighter with the Chief on it, pictured beside a dated 1949 pin that supposedly was given away as a Ladies Day souvenir. I already had a pin (and this was the third time I had heard the Ladies Day theory), but this one is in such great shape I couldn't pass on it. Plus, they're fairly tough to come by.

Finally, a 1940 Wheaties box with Bob Feller on the back. I've always wanted a complete vintage Wheaties box that has a tie-in with the Tribe, and this fits the bill.

All in all, a fun trip to Baltimore.

Here are my National and pre National pick ups. The show was good, both buying and selling. I met a ton of people that I have talked to over the years and its always great to meet them in person.

For those of you I met this weekend, it was a pleasure. I am already looking forward to Chicago next year. Here is one of the items I picked up this weekend.

[Vintage Yankee]

Only cruised the floor for 1 day (Saturday), with my 11 year old son in tow. Made the mistake of hitting the Rogers Archive last when my son was getting antsy, but picked up a couple of nice shots nonetheless. Also was able to score a few early Yankees programs to fill holes in my collection. Most importantly, my son had a blast & I even got him started with a few items for a vintage collection of his own. Considering it was a last-minute decision to go, I neither came loaded for bear cash-wise nor spent all I had, but was still pleased with the outcome.

Spent all day Friday waking the aisles and bought two things and won one piece from "PressPass" cards:

1) Trophy Ball 1908 Georgetown vs Maryland.
2) Old National League / Coca Cola promotional baseball.
3) Won this Dale Earnhart 1/1 Artifact "Race-Used Firesuit" during late day drawing. I rarely ever win anything!

All in all, a fun day - Ray

KILLER shot of Rolfe!! It's interesting how dark his uniform appears in that photo - so dark, it almost seems like an away pinstriper!

Did you find it in the Rogers collection?
