You're a masochist dude. This place is a psychotherapists candy store.

And I'm the lead test patient.

matty39: I love those bf2 prems!

picked this up on the net for 12 bucks. Listed as a toy but it really is a cigarette holder from the 1910s to 20 which says short stop on the side and stitched around the ball. Its either bakelite or some other resin. c.p.f. was a pipe manufacturer from ny. great unused little piece.

Thanks for the nice comments. I now have seven of the known nine premiums. The Alexander just sold in the legendary auction, and the only known cobb sold in the 1999 Halper auction and hasn't surfaced since then.

Sweet Pennants! I might have given you a run for the money, if the Collins was an Athletics piece (instead of Chisox).

You did really well on these... Congrats!

I agree.. Old pennants are so neat. I collected them as a child. My father would bring one back for me on every business trip he took. When we took family trips to ballparks and/or vacations I would also pick one up whether it be Yankee stadium or Yellowstone park. I would love to get into them but just can't collect everything. They are beautiful pieces for sure...congrats!!

This may have become the favorite item in my collection, definitely top 5. I'm a huge Brooks Robinson and Orioles fan. Although this isn't a game used jersey, it is about as close as you can get. It's a 1971 salesmen sample set complete with pants.

Picked up this c1864 engraving on eBay this afternoon... titled "FOOT BALL" in the original frame.....It's a monster at 43" wide x 24" tall...I actually have a copy that needs framed and a little restoration...but this one's framed and ready to go on the wall.

OT.

I picked this one up off ebay.
I'm not sure if I should call this a type 2 or 4, and would like some opinions.
The earliest date stamp combined with the paper mean the pic was not printed near the time of the even, Hence type 2 or 4.
The thing that trips me up is the detail in the picture. If the print is from the original neg, it would be a 2. If from a copy negative, a type 4.
One of the things that really drew me to it was the image quality. It certainly doesn't look blurry, like a typical copy negative print.
The price was right, so it isn't that important to me that it has to be a type 2. Any opinions?
