July Pickups
 

Not a Giants fan per say, but how do pass on something like this? I just couldn't.

Dave Grob

Very nice! Is that from when they won the NL pennant in 1962? Hanging in Candlestick during the World Series?

Giants
 

Dave,

I'm really not a Giants fan, but that bunting is very cool. I especially like that the Giants are noted since most of them are just the team colors or some variation of the colors.

Candlestick Park Bunting
 

Still looking into the dating, but first blush is early 1960s. This would have included the opening of Candlestick (1960), an All Star Game (1961), and a World Series (1962). Not claiming it's from any of those at this time as now the real fun starts...and I mean that with all sincerity.

Dave Grob

Hi Dave-

I AM a Giants collector and have a similar banner (pics attached). As you can see by the label on my banner, it was produced by the Paramount Flag Co. I have several smaller flags (including the one sewed onto the middle of your banner). I would guess your entire flag is also a Paramount product. Is it marked? I did some ebay deals, years ago, with a former employee of Paramount. He included some nice documentation with the things I bought and I was able to call him when I got the big bunting. He confirmed that mine has the early 1960's labeling. The labeling apparently changed through the years.

I have never been able to connect my bunting to a specific time and place. Please let me know if your research produces any "hits." Seeing your jersey pickups, I have to think you are better at research than I am.

Giants Bunting
 

Rob,

Love your bunting. While our designs are similar, yours appears to be in line what they decked Candlestick Park out in on Opening Day 1960. You may want to look for other images of that event to see what you might see.

My flag was manufactured by Emerson Flag MFG. CO (of San Francisco). They opened for business around 1909.

July arrival
 

Just picked up my 1936 World Series Game 1 ticket from the mailbox. DiMaggio's first.

A few months ago, while returning from a trip with my girlfriend, I actually picked up a Game 6 WS ticket from 1951, which was of course, DiMaggio's last.

On this one, I even got the seal of approval from the GF!

Just won this on eBay. Any pennant collectors know exactly when it is from? I assume early 50s? Most of the examples I found said "Nat'l League Champs" above or below Ebbets Field.

Hi Ben,
Is listed in Mikes book as 1950s 3/4 size rare 175-225... Hope that helps a little.

Hi Al,

That's great! Thank you for looking it up. Seems like it is in nice shape so I guess did okay at $130 plus shipping.

Looks like you did fine! Enjoy it!.:):)

Posted this in the june pick ups but received it in july..:)

Joe Girardi's 2008 spring training jersey. I am very excited to put Girardi's shirt on the wall next to Torre and Gardner and DiMaggio.

I need a longer hallway!

Paul Nice Giants premium!! congrats

Picked up a few baseball kids theme.

Cecil Haley. 1939 "negro mascot" hired to help snap Giant losing streak. The only way a black person wore a major league uniform in those days, sadly. 8 more years to wait. Found this interesting write up on Cecil.

Then a pic that reminds me of my youth.

Wow Tony! Great pickup. To obtain either one would be exciting...to get both together is awesome. Congrats!

Giants mascot
Dewey - I love the enthusiasm evident on the face and body language of Giants mascot. Quite a contrast to the other young fellow! :)

Won this Charlie Gehringer Hanna Batrite bat.

Still July
 

Got this cool photo of University of Maine coach Wilkie Clark; circa 1920's. Looks original, and was clearly pasted into a scrapbook before I got it.

Before he was the coach of UMaine, Clark played all over the minors. In 1906, he played for the Scranton Miners, hitting .262. A good average, but not as good as .336, belonging to their leading hitter, Archibald "Moonlight" Graham.

Nice photo and great addition to your UMaine collection.

Pirate photo c1907, Mike Simon cabinet c1906 and a Scoops Carey porcelain piece made in early 1900's in East Liverpool, OH, his hometown.

That team photo is actually from spring training of 1905. The best indication is Heinie Peitz, third from the left in the middle row. Players used to wear their uniforms from the previous season during spring training, and Peitz is wearing his Cincinnati uniform from 1904. He only played for Pittsburg in 1905 and 1906. Claude Ritchey is second from the left in the bottom row and Ginger Beaumont is on the far right in the bottom row; they were traded away from the Pirates in December, 1906. Patsy Flaherty is on the far left in the bottom row; he was with the team in 1904 and 1905 but was probably with Columbus during spring training of 1906. Honus Wagner is missing because he hated spring training.

It's a great photo!

Thanks for the info! Very cool

Old Gold Baseball Ad
 

This is a large piece (50" x 38") and in absolute mint condition (no restoration either).

Bob that piece is fantastic. .

Wow that's great Bob!

"Not a cough in a carload" :D

Phenomenal. How could it survive like that?

Insanely beautiful graphics... Congrats!

1915 WS program
 

Love the sweater look

Nice items Chris. Really unique porcelain piece.
And solid follow-up on that photo RU.
Good stuff guys.

Flea market browse pickup
 

Browsed around today at a flea market. Saw nothing special, but grabbed these for practically free ($6):). The postcard pictures an old Yankee Stadium. Maybe an expert can assist me with a date of this card type.
The dual cookie package I tried looking up, but could not find anything with an exact match of box markings. Mine is marked "Baseball Card & $5 Coupon Inside", and has quiz #10 on the reverse. The only mention of date is referenced with cookie shapes and art work copyright 1989. I'm tempted to open a box to see the cookies and card. Maybe there's a cookie expert out there.

The postcard is mid to late 1930s. No idea on the cookies.

Someone knew how much I like baseball and thought of me when they found this snapshot of Ron Fairly in their grandmother's possessions. So here is my (once in a great while) memorabilia pickup thread contribution.

Picked up this Ted Williams signed lineup card. Still looking for lineup cards signed by managers who are in the HOF or were significant figures in baseball history.

edit: Why don't my pictures ever work?

Added another from this Cubs set I love and am working on:D

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q...s6acf7ayv.jpeg

I have noticed that with some postings as well but have no idea why?

I just right clicked on it and I got "open in another tab"? which I did, and was able to see it.

1972 Ted Williams Signed Jsa Auth Game Used Line Up Card Texas Rangers

If that is correct above (partial copy and paste) it might have something to do with the fact it's an E-Bay pic and/or how you uploaded it?

That's the item, though I'm not sure what you mean or how to get it to work... I'm a technology moron lol.

I'm not much better, but I don't think it is possible to save an E-Bay pic, (especially when you get that magnifier) in order to place it in a picture file or what I use, "My documents"?

In your case, you would be further ahead just to post the link like I did here.

When I take photo's, I upload them to my computer into a picture file. From there, I right click the pics individually then send them to "My documents". When I want to post a pic here, I go to Leon's "Manage Attachments" (below) then click "Choose file" which then takes me to all the pics I have saved in "My Documents" I click the pic, hit open then upload it to the site.

Hope this is what you're after and hope this helps?

I couldn't seem to find how to upload pics from the desktop which was why I tried the route I did. Hopefully this works now...

Looks good! :)

I appreciate the help!

Picked this up from a board member, thanks Mark!!
