This is my first time ever seeing that exhibit. It's quite impressive. I have always been fascinated by Thorpe. The photo is the only item featuring him in my collection as I tend to stick to baseball. I seem to be buying a number of these photos lately. This one came in the mail today. I am not a football fan and I'm a 3rd generation Yankee hater. Nonetheless Don Larsen and the NY Giants together with the Stadium facade in the background was irresistible.

Picked up autographs of Al Bridwell, Rick Ferrell and Joe Wood. The Al Birdwell is particularly interesting. In his note he mentions he'll sign the cards despite his failing health. Note is dated August 13, 1968 and he passed away less than 5 months later.

They're from the late 40s / early 50s. Here are some other variations....

Thanks for kuddos guys. I agree with Mark regarding the scarcity. I've never seen the Tiger before.

I have only seen two at shows over the years and they were priced in the $150 range. The same eBay seller of the Indians, Braves and Pirates that Mark posted the links for has had the Tigers version for sale in his eBay store for a long time. Did you just discover this mug Mike? Glad to see you found it and assume you purchased it from the same seller because he no longer has one for sale. I almost pulled the trigger on it a few times but didn't and probably took for granted that it would be available whenever I wanted to purchase. Congrats. If you ever want to part with it let me know.

DSC00522.jpgThis is the first pinback I've added to my collection in a looong time and real thrilled to add it to my collection. Actually, it is not a pin, but an advertising mirror with a baseball theme.
