May pickups

I was able to add another stadium sign to my Forbes Field collection. I was actually able to find a picture of the sign hanging in the stadium. It also includes the original hanging bracket which I’ve never seen before.

Nice finds, Jim. What's the football disc?

1962 Salada coin.

Day #2 of pounding the Daytona Beach antique stores. Small finds, but the hunt was fun!

I think the Harvard pinback is early 1900’s. I believe the full pack of Yankee matches may be 1960’s. The Yankees pinback is from the 1967/1968 Krey Meats/Rold Gold baseball team issues.

Awesome! I don’t know how you do it!

Same here...

Not just to find the insanely rare Forbes Field relic itself.... But to find a vintage photo of that very sign hanging from the rafters of that specific section.

Seems next to impossible.... incredible pickup!

Adding to the Forbes field pickups. A snapshot from somewhere (apparently) around 1911-1915. I cannot date it precisely. Maybe someone can?

Not the kind of snap I'd usually go after but the cool pov from beyond the fence looking in mixed with being very early really spoke to me. Also, mentioned by my friend it appears there are some kids peering through the fence trying to catch a glimpse.

Really nice photo, now that says baseball too me.

Picked up two copies of this 1968 broadside for the Houston Astros and Astrowrold (and the Houston Stars soccer team). They are very colorful.

This was an eBay find so it was all just good timing on my part.

It was just good timing on my part and I was lucky that I had previously saved a picture of that exact sign. I had hunted out for pictures of that style sign previously as I already had a different section sign from Forbes.

Just got this in today! Mantle pre-rookie supplement. Love the second DiMaggio comment!

Pete Runnels was my favorite Washington Senator when I was a kid. It broke my heart when, on January 23, 1958, the Senators traded Runnels to the Boston Red Sox, where he proceded to have the 5 best years of his career, for Albie Pearson & Norm Zauchin. Despite this heartbreak, being an avid collector of Runnels cards and memorabilia, I had to acquire this executed 1958 trade document when the opportunity became available:

Interesting that they played 6 Pre-Season games in 1970's... Thats 20 games plus Post-Season...
