Nice section of the right field wall from the original Yankee Stadium. Sold publicly by Lelands in 2004.

Thanks to all that posted about the Vandy Key to Midland Park.
I just proves that great deals are still waiting out there.
That's what's so fun about the hunt; you never know what kind of bargain you will find...

I picked up this huge 18x24 plaque from Heritage. The park that was dedicated to Irvin is about 3 blocks from where I grew up.

Thanks. One of the things I really love about this is the size. At 39" high, it allows for a jersey to displayed in front of it (32-34 torso) and have a nice period Yankee Stadium usher's uniform and cap displayed behind it.

Not vintage but a great jersey. 2015 New York Mets Brooklyn Royal Giants Negro League GU Jersey, worn by Hitting Coach Kevin Long June 20, 2015 at Atlanta Braves.

I picked up these two items recently for my Alameda sports collection.

1935 Alameda Elks Majors vs Minors Charity Game Program. There was some guy by the name of DeMaggio on the minors team.

Andy Carey MLB debut ticket stub, Yankees vs Tigers.

Part of a wall. I like it.

Hi Dewey,
Great Pickup, I'm sure we never had that one. Good seeing you in San Leandro last week,
Andy

[Dewey2007]

Thanks Andy! Nice to see you at the show last week too. Hopefully I'll see you in June!

Very nice piece!

I was happy when I picked up 52 Topps copy as I was chasing a decent looking one for a while.

Went to a local auction today and loaded my van full of tobacco tins, cigarette packs and ephemera. These are some of the items I think are of interest to the member here. The Helmar and Murad are still sealed...all of the other packs are still full of cigarettes, but not sealed. The matchbox is Capadura Cigars, I have seen many of the trade cards, but have never seen this matchbox before. The only other Yale cigar box I can find sold in a Heritage auction. This one is in much better shape than that one.

Wow Dan! Great stuff. Don't tease...tell us a little about this auction and the sale. (also is the $1 in the background for scale? )
