Jimmy, where do you think I got these from! I went down to Dallas to visit my wife who was there for work, went to the live auction, and came home with a much lighter wallet. God bless the wife, she came with me to the auction and was the one pushing me to bid. Anyway, here are some more scans . . . Dickey, Kelly, Hubbell, Schacht, Altrock, Wambsganns, Snodgrass and Rawlings (what a sig)

It's great to be young and a Giant.

I've been after a high grade example of this pin for many years. This example was listed poorly and stayed under the radar of the baseball pin collectors and I am very excited about adding it to my collection

Mike, I'm not a pin guy but that's a cool pin...I did a story on a Fan Taz syrup dispenser, see link above. At the end of the story is a Fan Taz sign, which has been on eBay a long time.

In other news...here's some Jan P/U's....went to the Glendale Show and the Long Beach flea over the weekend...didn't find much....At Glendale got a dummy advertising loaf of Helms bread, stating Helms supplied bread to the Olympics....after leaving regretted getting it since it's one of those fragile pieces I hate...then the next day at the Long Beach flea I found a bottle of Canada Dry water, again advertising it as supplyed to the Olympics...then found a killer horserace plaque marked 1966....also got a cool little c1930's polo trophy on eBay 7 1/2" wide..given to a U.S. Ambasador

My first trophy ball. Although it isn't as nice as some, I really like it!

Nice pickup the best part of getting a trophy ball is researching the event and teams.

We had another snow storm in the midwest (KC), so no work today. I was able to make it down to the local antique mall where, to my suprise, I was able to pick up these three 1931 WS tickets and Press Pass for a great price. I was particularly excited about the Pass.
