After a bit of a lull the last half of the year due to family health issues, I finished off the year with a bang.
My favorite item(s) is the group of signed 1934 goudeys I won on ebay at the end of the year. I waited all year to get some new additions for my set. I'm now at 70/96.
I'm only showing the Melillo,(the others are shown in the Christmas thread.), as its has a little special story. Another ebay seller has had one listed for over a year for $800. I tried to negotiate it down to a more reasonable level, but he was not willing. In a triumph of patience, I won this one for $78.
Second is a snapshot of the 1927 Yankees team from Spring training. It compares exactly to the offically taken ST team pic, except mine is off to the side. What are the odds that the guy who took the pic would've been visiting ST on the exact day they were taking the team pic?
Third is the Gehrig Burke type 1.
Sorry, I had to add a fourth as it was soo close.
A March 1954 Sport Magazine signed by Casey Stengel.
Jimmy, it's hard to believe that the Gehrig pic with Christy Walsh's kid didn't make it.
Mike, I think I may have to target one of those Gehrig tickets this coming year, myself! Yours is a nice one.
Scott, I love the Johnson pic. It's a beauty.
Best to all. Hopefully we'll have an even better new year as well.
