November Pickups

[John V]

After all these years, this Kolseth bat has made it's way back to Columbia, S.C. Thanks Matt!
Can anyone show me a picture of Karl Kolseth? He had a cup of coffee in the Federal League in 1915. Otherwise he was a career minor-leaguer.

Showed this in the Hunt's thread as well. Postmarked and mailed/addressed on the "back" side. It pictures many members of the A's championship team on it. Several HOFers on the top row.

picked up a Bing Crosby autograph (ok, just Bing) for my 1960 Pirates project. Bing, of course, was part owner, and now I'm down to John Galbreath (majority owner) which I hope to get next week, Bob Prince (announcer), and a game 7 ticket which I'm hoping to get this weekend.

Wow! That is terrific Mike. I have been doing the same for the 1964 Cardinals and am down to four people. I started on the 1927 Yankees way back in 1978 but have not added one in over 10 years, only half way through the team itself on that one.

Hi Mike. Yep, the 27 Yankees can be tough. I've got about 10 or so of them and not sure how far I'm going to get. Same way with the 1919 Blacksox, but I am down to 2 for the 1934 Gas House Gang Cardinals.

.This is an extremely rare glass advertising slide that measures about 3 1/4 inches by 4 inches and was projected onto the screen in movie theaters to promote products or upcoming movies, etc. circa 1930

Wow, Mike down to two on the 1934 Gashouse Gang is impressive, funny but I started them about the same time as the 1927 Yankees and have had not worked too hard on it, I had the Dean's and Durocher already.

I am starting a much more modest 1978 Yankees & 1982 Cardinals project along with a color 8X10 postwar Yankee project along with a color 8x10 1960s Packers. You can tell when I grew up.

Which 2 are you missing? It took 15 years, but I finished my 1934 Cardinals last year with a beautiful signed Burke photo of Delancey. I believe it's one of the few know signed Delancey photos. 1919 Black Sox and Reds have been in the works for 16 years. My favorite project is the 1903 World Series which will never be complete, but I've got 21 total including Criger, Freeman and other very tough sigs.

Hi Steve! I'm only missing Branch Rickey (which I can find almost anywhere) and Sam Breadon (I've had a couple of chances in the last month but the price was a bit too high). Yep, Delancy is near impossible on a photo of any kind. I have a cut but am happy to have it. The real tough ones for me were Red Worthington and Jim Lindsey though. I should have this project complete sometime early next year after I get the 1960 Pirates framed and matted.
Take care,
Mike
