August 2011 pickup thread

[GrayGhost]

Just picked up finally the pencil drawing my friends teenage daughter made of Lou Gehrig. I love this piece a lot, and its so cool when you can see someones talent at young age. Orig photo for comparison.

That is a great drawing Scott. I just love sketches. Thanks for displaying.

I thought this was a cool pick up for $6 bucks. It's an article from 1947 Saturday Evening Post about umpires. The pictures shows Frank Frisch. I love the expressions on everyones faces. And I believe the older gentlemen behind Frisch is Honus Wagner. The rest of the article is inside the frame.

Ok so while seemingly everyone but me is at the National, I figured I'd make a trade.

What did I get? I'm glad you asked..
1927 Lou Gehrig Type 1 portrait and companion Sporting News guide the pic was used in.




1927 Babe Ruth Type 1 portrait


1927 Yankees infield Type 1


Lou Gehrig Christmas card


1927 Yankee Team Photo Type 1



and my favorite pic of the group

Lou Gehrig with Christy Walsh Jr. Son of Lou and Babe's agent.
Such a touching pic of Lou in his prime. Year is 1927. From Walsh family scrapbooks.


I am pretty psyched!

Wonderful set of bats. I picked this one up a couple of weeks ago. It's an early Frank Snyder bat.

Like my dear friend Mark, I too stayed home while others went to Chicago. And as it would happen, I also made a big trade. Mark got multiple first-rate Gehrig/Ruth photographs with a couple of swell pieces of Gehrig memorabilia. And with just this one Babe Ruth photo by Paul Thompson, I significantly strengthened my Bambino photo collection. A sweet deal all the way around. Thanks again Mark. All my best, Jimmy

Sounds like a great trade Jimmy and Mark. That is one classic Ruth photo!
