Decmber pick ups
OK, so it's not a 19th century cabinet photo or a ring bat or an oversized 1910's pennant...I love this kind of kitschy stuff for my low end Giants collection. 55 years old, still sealed and the hang hole hasn't even been punched. This was produced in 1968...a time that was, in my opinion, a golden age of baseball. So many incredible players. The Giants finished in second place in 1968; something they did over and over in that decade.

Ol' Pete Type 1
Picked this up in tonight's REA auction. I spent...way more than I had planned. I am from his hometown and he is buried about a half mile from my childhood home. Our town has a festival celebrating him every summer. I always wanted one item (not a card) that would be "perfect." Once I put eyes on this one I had to have it. These old portrait photos have always amazed me and I had never seen one like this of Grover.

A couple of things arrived today...
1958 SF Giants Packard Bell Johnny Antonelli card/sked. As I don't "do" cards, I consider this a sked. There were four of these. Antonelli, Hank Sauer, Bill Rigney and Willie Mays. I now have the first three. Mays is ridiculously expensive. There are three on ebay right now...$4300, $4900 and $8900. I don't see myself ever scoring one of those. Next, a 1977 parking pass to go with others I have. I believe these were issued to players, team employees and journalists; not to the game attendees.

Those passes are very cool, and you are right that they were not issued to game attendees, as I drove to lots of games at Candlestick and never got one.

Agreed. Those parking passes are really cool.

I meant I don’t think even Giants season ticket holders could get season parking passes…and, if they could, these decals weren’t what they got. A few of mine came from Nick Peters’ daughter. Nick was a Giants beat writer forever.
