Scott, I solved you space problem. Just bring it to the show Saturday and I'll put it in the bar in the basement.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the comments on the panoramic to Rawn and Kingofclout - appreciate it!

Rawn - FYI, Bill Carrigan is 9th from the left end. And I would've brought it to give you on Saturday, but I can only make it on Friday now to the show - bummer!

Scott, I can change plans. I'm in Fitchburg right now. I guessed 8th or 10th.

Well after what seemed like a drought that lasted years, I finally bought something I really wanted.

1939 HOF Yearbook Inagural edition.



The seller of this book dated it to 1939 because of the date on the cover as well as the fact that Gehrig is NOT in this one.

I need to update my previous thread about the HOF Yearbooks
What I thought was a 1939 HOF yearbook, which was dated because Gehrig was in it, must be either a 1940 edition or a revised 1939 edition. I will wait until I have it in hand and inspect it before I will offer an opinion and close up scan.

I feel like a addict who's been forced on the wagon and finally gets off it. WHEW! I thought the drought would never end.

Some great additions by all.

Best,
Mark

Great pick up Mark. Is always great to be able to fill in the holes in a collection.

What do you mean you "feel like an addict" Mark... you are an addict!

BTW... a really important addition to your HoF Yearbook collection Mark. Well done my friend!

Just picked up a 1961 Game 4 world series ticket. I had planned on getting all the 61 WS tickets at some point but this one (it's a bit rough but should display well and couldn't pass it up for the great price) is the one where Whitey Ford broke Babe Ruth's World Series scoreless innings record.

Was lucky enough to be able to add this Circa 1921 Tris Speaker 35 inch decal bat to my collection. Decal has survived in remarkable condition considering the age of the bat. I believe this was the last of the decal series produced by Hillerich and Bradsby at the beginning of the 1920's.
