October pickups
 

So I figured it was my turn to start the monthly pick up thread.

Congrats on another Nice Gehrig photo and what a great way to kick off October.

Nice early photo of Harridge as well...........

87-89 Brett

Winfield with great use. Bat is from 79 but was used in 80.

That's a nice Brett Gamer great pick up. This 1949 Ralph Kiner ash tray arrived for me today. I had not encountered one before.

Me likee. Where'd you find that?

EBay... there were two others with the same design Dino Restilli and Vic Lombardi. I went with the Kiner. 1949 was his career year. Who says smoking is bad for you?:D

Mike, those indentations are for resting cocktail weenies.

Ciggs or weenies, either would explain 22 career stolen bases six of which he swiped in 1949:D Strangely enough he had more career triples (39) than steals.

2014 Drew Smyly game worn Tigers jersey. Was worn for his 14th win of his career. Was part of the David Price trade and should be one of the Rays top starters next yr.

Picked up a Joe Jackson bat and a Boston Garden Stadium seat. All for under $50 at the flea market.

Congratulations on the Joe Jackson bat - wonderful item.

Anyone pick up this Reach flange sign? I thought I bid pretty strong on it (double what a better condition one sold for) and still lost out:(

I think I came in 3rd on it

and also missed this

Jim I never thought that Spalding ring bat would reach that number though.WOW

also what did the reach sign go for

Reach sign went for $2650

Cardinals ring
 

Just picked this up this weekend. Has all the proper markings of a salesman sample

Thank you Scott. The guy said he was going to eventually use it as fire wood :eek:...congratulations to you on the Jeter home plate. Awsome piece.

That's amazing. I have about one find like that each year - still waiting for 2014's.

I felt weird this morning, realizing I had bought a home plate.

Scott, how are you going to display it?

Not sure, but it will be on the floor with some sort of covering. I have flat tight carpet, so I might create a batter's box next to it where I can leave my shoes :)

Spalding catcher's mitt

Picked up these items this morning. First item is a Spalding J.W. Curtiss Mini bat, a 1963-64 Kelloggs giveaway baseball with Stan Musial, Mickey Mantle, Brooks Robinson, Warren Spahn, Tommy Davis, and Dick Groat. I also picked up a nice vintage Krens Special bat.

Ty Cobb Jarvis Catalog
 

Picked this up today, never saw one before.

How many Ty Cobb products are pictured in the catalog?

Not sure as yet Michael, bought it today but have not received it as yet. Will update this thread once I receive it.

Brockelman & Luckey Fall 2014 Auction
 

Anyone pick up anything from that? Were there any bargains there in anyone's mind?

As an avid collector of 3D cards in my youth, I only remember the "All-Time Greats" set coming out in Rold Gold Pretzel bags. I have been searching for the Kellogg's Danish box for years, and was thrilled to finally find one, along with the two Raisin Bran boxes. They were all unfolded, but I turned them into boxes for display purposes.

Heckuva deal!

Why are there 3 October pickup threads? :confused:

My newest Lou.
 

1939 type 1 of Lou sitting on the steps of the dugout. Dated June 22nd 1939. I got it in a trade with another board member(Thanks Mark). It's not the greatest condition, but a very nice image nonetheless.

This just arrived. The girlfriend is going to love coming home to me watching the playoffs from behind a real home plate :eek:

What she's really going to love is you digging a pentagonal hole in the living room floor.

Greg

:p

That is a great photo of Lou Mark. Great pickup!!

Thanks Steve. I'm pretty happy with it.

1936 Cincinnati Reds Jacket
 

Wonderful style that I have been looking for for some time. Manufactured by P. Goldsmith & Sons; Cincinnati, Ohio. The embroidered design on each sleeve is the same design found on the left breast of the "Palm Beach" uniforms also produced by Goldsmith for the 1936 Reds.

Quality of the photograph of the jacket does not do it justice...

picked up this ball used by lefty grove 1930 off eBay. great deco looking piece.can anybody give me some insight on who g. lauder is.thx

Greg - when she got home and saw it...she loved it! She wants it to either stay on the coffee table, or to display it somewhere in the living room :confused:

Mark - that is, obviously, another great Gehrig image. Congratulations on the pick up. I'm not finding a 'Lou Gehrig Photo' section in the link area you have - if there isn't one there should be :)

Scott,
Thanks.
Here is the section where the Gehrig photos reside.

BTW, I had no idea home plate was that big. Pretty cool item.

Thanks Mark. Yeah, my only experience with home plates was installing them in softball fields, and they weren't this big. The box was huge and heavy as hell - the weight comes from an extra 2 inches below the dirt line, honeycomb filled with heavy chunks of dirt.

I highly recommend these - one of the coolest things I've ever picked up. Wish I had one from the Astrodome.

Found this awesome piece after it being missing for a year and a half. After my temporary move, it surfaced, and will be for sale soon. Not in best shape, esp back, but super nice.

1925 Christy Walsh Syndicate calendar page featuring Babe Ruth and Cobb. Thanks Al!

Jeff,
Great calendar. It reminded me of something I forgot to post along the same lines.

1928 Letter from the Christy Walsh Syndicate. Letter is to the Yankees asking to borrow Babe Ruth's white uniform. At the bottom are the printed autographs of all his clients. I also got the envelope it was sent in.

Very interesting. It's the "white" uniform, and not the pinstriped uniform (as we'd refer to it today.) In those days there were just home whites and road greys. The details--pinstripes, etc.--were irrelevant.
