I love your scoreboards! But display space has got to be a problem...

Thank you! I like advertising items with a baseball tie-in and the scoreboards do the trick. I also think the boards are cool looking. Thankfully, so far wall space is not a problem.

Ever see anything like this? I found some newspaper ads that were similar, but I cannot find another one of these mentioned on the internet anywhere.

I saw your item a month or so ago and thought it was a nice piece of advertising. I have not seen that item before. I am still kicking myself for sleeping on the poster below. I likely won't see another one.

That poster is pretty cool. There must be others out there, no? You know the old saying about when you see something for the first time, buy it.

My Lew Burdette sign was obviously meant to have a price written on it and attached to a crate of apples in the grocery store. I imagine that when prices changed, signs got tossed. Mine is probably one of a very few that never got used. Could be the only one left.

Very true, buy it when you see it. Not heeding that advice has cost me on a few items. Of all the scrapple items, I was only interested in the poster. I waited and waited and then one day it was sold. Like your piece the poster is likely one of a kind or very few. I have never seen another one.

I don't usually get too excited about new pickups until I actually have them in hand, but it's been such a great 12 hours for my collection that I feel the need to post my REA wins tonight.

Three m113s.

Connolly I knew existed because it was in a Lipset auction in 2004, but I had never seen a picture of it.

I had no proof that the Schmidt existed until this auction.

Lajoie has a completely different caption than my other copies (which I wasn't aware of until this auction).

I can't remember last time I added 3 new m113s in a day.

Woohoo!

Doug

PS - Apologies to the portion of the REA staff that gets to stay at work until all lots in the auction have closed, and apologies also to the underbidder for those extra 2 hours 40 minutes.
