Yesterday, I was reminded just how much a true friendship can mean, especially in today's society. How lucky can a guy be, as a very dear friend spoon fed me this fabulous important vintage original TYPE 1 Photo of one of Baseball's greatest moments!

I finally picked up this Harmon Killebrew pennant to go along with my Rod Carew from the same time frame. Both of these were tough for me to find so I was happy to track them down. I also picked up this Killebrew button still on the original card which I was happy to get as it is different from the other Killebrew I have from this series.

Congrats on finding the Killebrew MVP Pennant! Those are so tough to locate, and it looks like yours is in nice condition. That's a great compliment to the Carew... very difficult to find both in that condition.

Nice acquisitions!

Thank you! The Carew pennant is in about perfect condition. The Harmon is not perfect but it's pretty nice.

Wow, great collection of Killebrew buttons. Love the "Killebrew for Govenor". The pennant looks very nice too!

Thank you. I love collecting Minnesota Twins and Vikings stuff. With the maker of a lot of these items being from Minnesota (Wincraft) a lot of very cool items were sold either at the stadium or around the state.

Great finds. I picked up a bunch of old baseball postcards, and this photo of an 1892 team with a black player. The image is well-composed and it's a very clean albumen, but it's not as crystal-clear as some I have:

Guys.............I picked this up last week. It's my first pinball machine and the exterior and the guts are in rough shape, but it has a well preserved playing field with fantastic graphics. It wouldn't be cost effective to refurbish the machine as they're typically not too valuable in working condition, so I'm just going to disassemble the playing field and make it into a wall hanging display piece. I have another one already hanging in my basement and this should look just as cool. The back glass was cool at one time, but a lot of the reverse painted graphics have flaked off. I might tackle that repainted project down the road at some point. Thanks for looking.........Matt

Hey Jimmy,

Nice pickup! That's a classic image...
I just picked up an excellent complimentary piece to your Don Larsen World Series perfect game photo.

This is an extremely rare Stadium Club pass from Larsen's World Series PG game 5. These are much tougher to find than a World Series ticket to this game, which is readily available. BTW, I've only seen one or two examples of the Stadium Pass to this game through the years. I'm happy to add this pass to the ticket stub that I have to this remarkable game in my no-hitter ticket collection.

I've never posted a scan of my Larsen WS game 5 ticket before. My favorite part of this ticket is the vintage fountain pen inscription on the back written by the patron that attended the event.
The inscription reads:
"Perfect Game" pitched by Don Larsen of the N.Y. Yankees. Mon. Oct. 8- 1956 5th game of Series"

I also included a celebration photo of Larsen and Berra storming off the field after the game.
