September Pickups Thread

[yanks12025]

Picked up this Gabby Hartnett signed ball. Auto is in very bad shape but you can still make out parts. At the end of the auto it has 20-25, but it sure looks like a 6 before the 20 so maybe the date 6-20-25, looked up the box score from that date and he had a home-run.

comes this extremely scarce OYSTER LAMP. Only the second known to still exist. NM/MT condition with sticker still in place.

Jimmy, that is an odd but cool piece to be sure. Where did you find that one? I swear you must be combing the globe while the rest of us sleep!

Very cool piece Jimmy...but...it's pretty clear why the rest have been put out of thier missery. I don't think I would eat anything served on a table with that in the center...ha ha.

Jimmy,
Your starting to remind me of Rick on Pawn Stars " If its rare strange and Bizarre I want it in my shop" As someone else would say "Stay thirsty my friend" Al

Thanks Mark.

This came in the mail yesterday...I think Jimmy picked up one like this not too long ago.

That lamp is hideous looking, but man, what a great piece, for being a Joe D item, as far as rarity.

Picked up this neat little oddball photo for my Eagles collection. It is the 1946 Eagles basketball team that featured Steve Van Buren.

Mike is pretty much right on the money. I don't get too much sleep, so...

What an amazing clam !!!

I just buy the cards, but sure do love to swing past and see the great stuff you all find over here each month!

I just found it compelling as I think that it's such a cool football pose. We'll see if I still feel that way in a few months...
