A few of my recent pickups. The Rent a Seat Cushion sign is from Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

I just added this 1971 Clemente pinback to my 71 Bucs collection. It is a very scare item and one of three I have ever seen in 40+ years of collecting. It has been a bit of a white whale for me. Although I'm certain I over paid, I'm thrilled to have finally landed it

Love it, Mike. Congrats!

With the White Whale in hand, you’re done, right?

Thanks Scott and Rob. Rob I don't think my foolishness will come to an end anytime soon. I know there is a thread discussing these particular pinbacks. This one appears to be yet another variation as the placement of the autograph differs from the example of this pin Howard posted.

Mike:

Congrats on nailing that one down.... beautiful Pin.

I can't recall... did you also win the original Studio Photo used to make this Pin (which was in Hunt's Clemente Auction?) I believe one of the Members here won it.

If so, they would look amazing displayed together!

Thanks, unfortunately I didn't win the print in the Hunt auction. I believe one was sold a number of years ago in a Leland's auction as well.

Autograph placement varies on the Mays pins, as well. There is also one with no autograph.

Love the look of that Sisler bat. Even when they are retail models, those Bone Rubbed 250's are beauties. BTW do the weight and length match up to bats that he ordered?

Thanks Mark. This bat measures at 35 and weighs 36.5 - 37 ounces and is hand turned no inch marks on the knob.

Pretty jazzed to have won this 1930 Louisville Colonels Panoramic photo from the currently closing Hakes auction.....only pano on Louisville I've ever seen. Billy Herman's last year in the minors..........
