Gets you excited just thinking what they may have. Hopefully we both get a call in the near future with good news.

Picked up these two. An Aug 1960 Sport magazine and a Duke Maas cut from an AP dated Aug 1st, 1960. With Maas, I now need only one more for the 1961 Yankees.

Picked up an interesting 1955 Yankees program...it's from a game in Hawaii against the National Baseball Congress team Hawaii Red Sox...I've seen 1955 programs from the Japan tour, but this is the first I've seen of their stop in Hawaii...actually I didn't even know they went to Hawaii first before heading off to Japan.

Signed by Billy Martin and Bob Turley...too bad they didn't get the Mick's signature that day.

I've been searching the internets for another one with no luck. I see lots of the Japanese programs though.

edited to add: There may have been one in this lot from Mastro in 2006, but it is not shown in any of the pics

Finally landed one of my grail items after a long, long search. I've known about this jersey but wasn't able to persuade the owner to sell until now. It's a 1953 Wichita Indians jersey. I picked up the team picture from the same year in an earlier ebay auction. Needless to say I'm one happy camper right now. Also picked up a couple of newer jerseys I'll post later.
