April 2011 Pick Up Thread

[baseball tourist]

Picked up and old one. I assume that it may be late 19th century, but perhaps a more knowledgable bat collector would place it older? The seller indicated thy it may be from the 1870's-'80's. 30.5 inches with great patina/use, flattened end and a mushroom knob/handle.

The modern gamer is a JP Arencibia, Jays bat from 2010 ( also picked up today) for size comparison).

Great picture Murph! Hey I have Swede Risberg book at home and he mentioned after his banishment days playing against the Sioux City Team on a fairly regular basis I believe.

Hi guys -

I didn't want to clutter the memorabilia section with multiple posts, so I though this would be a good place...


I was the high bidder and after I receive them, will be looking to unload any that are NOT scored. According to Lew, his 80 year old consigner thinks that's about half of them.

Email me at doug.goodman@earthlink.net if you are interested in 1 or all.

I collect scored scorecards / programs from all eras, leaning towards the Dodgers, and any "interesting" games.

Thanx,
Doug

Among my purchases at the Strongsville, Ohio, show today. I really do love the oddball pieces of Indians memorabilia. The "Indians emblems" piece is about the size of a license plate.

Great pickups Rob, I especially like the thermometer.. Looks like I missed a good first day. With any luck I'll be able to make it up there tomorrow. Not much money to spend right now, but there's always some great stuff to check out, and some good people to meet for some possible deals in the future.

I was happy to add these to my collection this month...
