MSVNYC, Terrific Yankees collection! I take it that's an early Mantle auto? Also loving the Yankee Stadium photos.

Mike

[MVSNYC]

Thanks Mike.

As early as it gets...July, 1951, with Joe D. It's dated to a specific day in July, as its signed on the back of a menu, which has daily (dated) specials. At their hotel in Detroit. This was a sleeper piece I bought several years back, then had it framed with double sided glass, so you can see the front of menu...I'll see if I have better pics.

Wow!!! That is an impressive piece. How many Dimaggio/Gehrig autos do you see on the same piece anymore? Not many I've seen.

Mike

[MVSNYC]

Mike- here are some proper pics of the '51 framed piece...they signed on the back of the menu. Right after this Detroit road trip (while wearing #6), Mantle went down to minors...he came back up later in the season wearing #7.

[yankeesjetsfan]

Wow! Great piece. Check out the prices on that menu! anyone have a time machine? Lunch is on me!

Our most recent star on the rise.

Great Judge collection! I have a couple of his Allan & Ginter autos from this years set.

Wow.... a Tunafish Salad Sandwich for 83 cents. Interesting retail price, but what a deal

Amazing piece (front AND back!)

[mjkm90]

One of my favorites

[yankeesjetsfan]

That is beautiful. Is that a marble plaque of some sort?

It is chalkware Mike and it has been attributed (not confirmed) to be from the 1932 WS against the Cubs who also made a similar plaque I'm pleased to say I own

[perezfan]

That's a gorgeous piece, Mike...

I love the silver "wash" on the Cubs version. Have you ever seen a Yankees version with the silver or gold "coating"? Of the very few I've seen, I believe all are white like yours.

Would love to find one of these at the National (but not getting my hopes up )

[mjkm90]

I would love the gold wash Yankee this example belongs to a good collector friend with a terrific collection

[Blunder19]

Great thread... Some awesome Yankees items on this thread!!!

I havent seen any 51 Mantles yet.. so here is mine..



Also an interesting HOF Ball with Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Casey Stengel, Ty Cobb, Cy Young, Honus Wagner, Johnny Evers, George Sisler, Enos Slaughter, Ted Williams, Connie Mack, Ed Walsh, and a few others...

Tough to find all these guys on 1 ball...

I like the Yankees...

When I go to some Yankees games I wear this early Jersey. I reserve it for cool weather days as its heavy and warm.

[yankeesjetsfan]

Nice jersey. I don't recall ever seeing pics of the Yankees wearing this jersey. Can you tell me what years they wore it? Very interested to know.

Thank you

Mike

[yankeesjetsfan]

Gorgeous collection Eric!

No, it's not a gamer ...it has nothing to do with the Yankees. It's just a jersey from a local team from probably the late '30s. I just like it because it says Yanks. I get a lot of stares and questions when I wear it to the Stadium.

I once wore it to Fenway, and a couple people thought it was the 'Boston Yanks' (football team).

[ruth-gehrig]

Great stuff guys!!

[ooo-ribay]

^^^ That's very cool. How big is it and what was its function?

[ooo-ribay]

Just occurred to me...license plate?

[ruth-gehrig]

Hey Rob!
You know the license plate idea never occurred to me but it sure could have been. Its roughly the size of a license plate. Its definitely homemade and a heavy painted enamel.

[mjkm90]

The always fun Babe Ruth underwear and one of my favorite Yankees pennants

The four holes are what gave me that thought. It may be homemade but it looks like whoever did it had some sign painting type talent.

[r0ck8ott0m]

Made by Tim Carroll !!! And 1 of 1 peice of art!

Made from cut up baseball cards which is awesome

[yankeesjetsfan]

I love that Ruth underwear photo. Love that Babe seems to have a sly smile knowing what he is selling to the public. That pennant rocks also.
