Scott,

Thank you for the offer! Anytime you want to send over a high-res scan of it, I'd be happy to receive one.

Carlton,
You're right on about the baseball ribbon. I spent quite a bit of time with both Glen and Terry and they are two of the hobby's best. I got the ribbon from Terry. He has the most incredible group in the hobby.

Picked up six extremely rare 1936-38 bf3s. Note the Dimaggio spelling.

Not baseball, but a very cool Civil War era scrapbook that has a handwritten Confederate General Order, a piece of a rebel flag and flower picked up from the battle of Pittsburg Landing (Shiloh), a piece of the curtain from the Marshall House where Col. Ellsworth was murdered, and lots of Confederate notes. For those that don't know Ellsworth is the first officer of the North to be killed in the war..he was a very good friend of Abraham Lincoln. Union Soldiers in the weeks after Ellsworth's death collected souvenirs at the Marshall House where he was killed. Anyone know what something like this might be worth?

Very cool scrapbook Dan. I have read alot about the civil war, and am familiar with the story of Ellsworth - If I recall correctly, he went into a hotel in Virginia that was hanging a Confederate flag, and cut it down, but was shot by one of its inhabitants on the way out.
Is your scrapbook attributed to anyone specific?

Wow Dan!! What an incredible scrapbook! I don't collect stuff like this, but I can appreciate something so historic. Congrats!
