I would have to say this is it for me but I would love to see everyone else’s.

From the memorabilia side, it's hard to top these 3. After 25+ years of collecting cigarette packs/boxes, each of these is a first for my collection.

1912 French magazine with a full color 11 x 14 supplement of Jim Thorpe.

I’m a Jim Thorpe collector and picked up quite a few ‘favorites’ this year but this is certainly one of them and probably the most rare. Everybody has some great additions to their collections looks like!

This ran me $50 off eBay and another $50 to frame. Some might say that was too much but I love the finished product and it looks nice as you enter my home office. From the New York American and dated Sunday, March 31, 2012. There are some neat stories about the upcoming season including notes about new managers (Griffith, Davis, Stahl, Kling, et al) as well as “Birdie” Cree’s threatening to quit baseball if not paid more but the focus is clearly on my man, Hal Chase! Great couple images and and nice write up comparing Chase to Cobb. See below for the article...Chase was obviously held in high esteem...



I am very lucky to have a fantastic frame guy who takes good care of me and great care with my stuff. If you are in Connecticut, Framed by Kosal is tops!

Awesome pickup everybody!!!

Scott- what a great Vandy Pickup!!! Amazing how that stuff seems to find your collection.

Not too many pick ups this year, but my favorite has to be the dugout lineup card from Jim Thome’s 300th HR, really like the way it was framed and signed by Thome (thanks Randall).

That is really cool! I have maybe 4-5 of the manager lineup cards from games that Thome hit a home run (including homers 503 & 504).

(If they would fit in your collection, feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to work something out)

Thanks Jonathan. Your Jim Thome 300th HR dugout card is really cool as well.
