Jan. 2011 Pick-up thread...

[Joe Hunter]

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.

I collaborated on the pickup of an eBay lot that contained two pristine full tickets to the 1969 Miracle Mets 100th and final win of their Amazin' season that caught the entire sports world by surprise.
It's ironic that this game occured in Chicago. As many of you may remember, the Cubs had been a strong NL front runner until their legendary late season fade...
One of my collecting focuses Nolan Ryan pitched in relief in this game and got his final K of the regular season.
In 38 years of collecting I have never seen another full ticket to this game. I've always hoped I would find one, and now I have. Cool!

Just another terrific pick-up Scott! January has been very good to you...

I picked this up very cheaply at a local auction that was hampered by a snow storm a couple weeks ago. The framing goes very well with it.

Really excited with this new arrival. Rare figural Ted Williams candy dispenser bust. Only the second one I have ever seen. And Mike and Mark don't need to know how much I paid for it .

Brock... That's a great pickup. True story.... I saw it on ebay with 11 seconds left, and missed getting a bid entered. I think I missed by 1-2 seconds. Wish I saw it a bit sooner, but very glad it went to you.

There was a clear bottom half to it, that held the candy (just like the Jackie Robinson version). You may want to try finding a Jackie Robinson with the clear base, and buy it cheap... then keep the base for your Wlliams Bust and sell the Jackie Robinson top half.

Either way, congrats on another great acquisition!
