Great pick-up! That recent 'leather' auction was the time to grab one of these - I had my eye on Speaker, but resisted.

QUOTE=Runscott;1062010]These three Conlon photos arrived today. The Goslins have Conlon signatures and notations, one with his stamp. The Johnson is from the family scrapbook. Not sure why the scan is so fuzzy, but I'll get a better one - actually a very clean image.[/QUOTE]
Beautiful photos |

I personally wished I would have thought of that when I was younger and added a note to every game I attended then I would actually remember the games, now I just have tons of stubs and the memories all blended together. |

The letter that accompanies The Shot Heard Round The World ticket is really super. What a combo! FWIW, I really think you have a centerpiece type combo piece there. Congrats! Last edited by Scott Garner; 12-13-2012 at 04:13 PM. |

Holy Grail Piece
Really happy with this
Since people have to hate, this is indeed authenticated by both PSA/DNA and James Spence Last edited by bobfreedman; 12-13-2012 at 02:21 PM. |

Mike, thanks for your comment on the photos. The Johnson slipped by at the last Legendary auction - I was thrilled to get it.

Bob - Incredible bold Ruth... glad to see you indeed got it!
Mike - Nice job on the lamp... has to be the best one in existence! Rob - Gorgeous Lajoie Leather... I am green with envy (although it ended up right where it was supposed to). Incredible month for auctions... I am hoping to "join the party" after Lelands! |

The only 'haters' I'm seeing here are you and Ben. Nothing new there. And Ben - no, I'm not 'mentally challenged'. But nice shot.

If you did not read my original posts, which I edited after realizing how defensive Bob is about this ball, then I apologize. Seriously.

My favorite 2012 pickup
Well, much to my great surprise, December ended up producing my favorite pickup of 2012. Christmas came early this year!
Here is a game ball from Nolan Ryan's 15th strikeout in his 1974 AL record 19 K 9-inning game on 8/12/74. Ryan passed HOF Bob Feller for the AL record and tied Tom Seaver and Steve Carlton's ML record 19 K's in this game. This ball came directly from the Angels 1974 ball boy Paul Hirsch. Paul retrieved the ball when it hit the backstop and screen during the at bat of Cecil Cooper immediately following Ryan's 15th K that night. His letter of provenance fills in all the details. Rocket Roger Clemens, Kerry Wood and Randy Johnson have since become the standard bearers with 20 K's in a 9 inning game. Additionally, I purchased Nolan Ryan's 1974 Angels locker tag from Paul as well. I don't know if it is clearly visible, but you can actually see these Angels locker tags in the background in the picture of Paul and Nolan posing together in the Angels Clubhouse in 1974. 1974 was arguably one of Nolan's best seasons. He struck out 19 three times (yikes!), a 1-hitter and his 3rd career no hitter. Both of these items are excellent additions to the Angels portion of my advanced Nolan Ryan collection. Not many items make their way into my Ryan collection these days. They have to have special significance and have perfect provenance. These two items made the cut in a huge way... Many thanks to long time Bay Area collector/dealer friend Mark Macrae for connecting me with Paul! Last edited by Scott Garner; 12-19-2012 at 08:08 PM. |

Thanks Rob! This is why I didn't chase the Feller debut ticket...
