January 2012 Pick-Up Thread...

Newspaper cover with photos of the celebration of Feller returning to Cleveland after his opening day no-hitter. It's not the greatest piece, nor necessarily the most historically significant. But I think it'll look pretty good framed.

Nice jersey Clint! How many does that make in your collection now?

I just picked up a previously unknown (to me) Nebraska Indians postcard...same design as another I have, but this one has the team name and statistics listed at the top...interestingly enough though the team in 1914 was actually known as "Beltzer's Nebraska Indians" as Guy green no longer owned the team...the Beltzer brothers are both pictured on this postcard.



Also picked up a few cuts from old Spalding guides of the team....these cuts have really helped me identify some of the players on my other postcards and photos.

I don't even know if this fits into the memorabilia category, but I picked this up recently. It's card related so it's a nice addition to my collection. Any guess on actual age?

January seems to be a big month for me for magazines. Picked up two more (probably my last for awhile), from Berra and Rizzuto from 1950 and 51.

Thanks Dan. Awesome pick-up on the NI postcard! I've got 11 different teams now. Overall between MLB, minor league and college I have around 50. I just picked up one of my grail items today. It's a 1954 Wichita Indians road jersey. I've been after one of these for over 10 years. The only other one I know of is in a museum and it doesn't have an original patch. I also landed two jerseys from alma mater that I'm pretty excited to get.

Sweet! You got it...I was wondering how that deal was coming along. Do you know who wore those Wichita State jerseys?

Not supremely challenging to find, but I was able to finally add this 1950's Bob Feller pinback button that I found at an antique mall in North Cincinnati yesterday. I've had this on my want list for awhile and finally nabbed one. The best news is that its in great shape and was on sale for 25% off. Nice!!

Yep I picked it up yesterday. He emailed me and said come and get it. I was pretty excited. The grey Wichita State jersey belonged to Lewallen and the yellow was Linden. No big name players. I think WSU and the sports museum have all the big time jerseys.

Ben, well I'll let that Creighton remark slide, for now.

Very Cool! Go Creighton!
