Default August pickups
I'll kick off the month of August with two neat pickups for my advanced Nolan Ryan collection:

The 1st item is the actual Alvin, TX Official Mayoral Proclamation for Nolan Ryan Hall of Fame Day on July 25, 1999. As many of you know, Nolan Ryan is the favorite son of Alvin, TX. This proclamation is literally one-of-a-kind and capped Nolan's amazing 27 year career in ML baseball. Truly an epic piece for my collection. Signed by Troy Lewis the acting Mayor of Alvin. This came to me by way of another advanced Nolan Ryan collector friend.

The 2nd item is a circa 1991 backlit Starter brand sign that measures approximately 18" x 18". This has always been one of my favorite advertising pieces featuring The Ryan Express that has eluded me..
This also came by way of a private collection. Only 2-3 of these signs are known to exist in the hobby, although there may be more that have never surfaced.

Default August pickups- Nolan Ryan
Thanks Ken, Mike & Mark!
It seems like the only really obscure items related to Nolan Ryan that I find these days originate from private collections and have never seen the light of day, so to speak.

I'm definitely happy to add them to my collection.

That is an item I have never seen. Do you know the year the sign was made?

Bob- I have a similar bell in lesser condition. Is there any possibility these bells were "tally bells" used in early baseball games when a run was scored?
