November Pickups

[mr2686]

Can anyone tell me how rare/scarce is an Arnold Rothstein autograph? I imagine pretty hard to come by.

Not so vintage, but today my boss brought in and gave me a complete copy of the New York Times from the day after the Mets won the series. Said his sons didn't really have any interest and wanted it to find a good home. Not a bad day at the office!

Thank you John Rogers for making the Sporting News Archive photos available to the hobby...I've been able to add two Lincoln Chiefs photos to my collection in the last few weeks...that's usually all I can add in two or three years.

And love that postcard story Moe...Black Sox collectors are fascinating.

I recently picked this item off of eBay on a whim. I have never seen anything like this before. It is marked Sterling on the back. Great detail work on the front.

Any thoughts?

Dan,
Is that Alvin Jackson?

Why yes it is! He came to Lincoln in 1957 and had a great year in 1958 winning 18 games for the Chiefs.

I've picked up a few nice pinbacks of late. The condition of each is exceptional.

The Bobby Brown is exceedingly rare and a really lucked into this piece at a bargain price. He was the NL MVP this year for the Braves when he won 14 games. He didn't win 14 more games in all the remaining years of his career. It is in absolutely choice shape

I concur with Dan. Although it may take some committed search time but you will be rewarded with some really nice gems.

Picked up a pair of terrific Joltin Joe TYPE 1 Photos...
