October Pick ups Thread

I recently added this game used ball from HOF Sandy Koufax's 1st no-hitter. This ball originated from long-time NL umpire Stan Landes.
Stan Landes was the 2nd base umpire in Sandy's 1st of 4 career no-hitters on June 30, 1962.
The fledgling NY Mets in their inaugural season were the victims in Koufax's 5-0 whitewash (13 K's). Landes gifted this ball and two other game used balls to a young Dodger fan from the LA area.

I'm very proud to add this historic ball to my advanced no-hitter collection. I now have game used balls from HOF no-hit kings Nolan Ryan (6 of his 7 no-hitters), Sandy Koufax (his first of 4 no-hitters) and Bob Feller (his 2nd of 3 no-hitters).

This ball is a nice compliment to my signed full ticket and scored program from Koufax's 1st no-hitter

Awsome stuff Scott! I added this Clemente Advisory staff photo to my collection after MANY years I finally landed one.

Thanks! Sweet photo, Mike.
Ironically, I just recently added a similar Harvey Haddix advisory photo like yours. These are way cool!

Canada's two official National sports - Hockey and Lacrosse, covered in one purchase!

Would you place the era to c. 1910 or earlier?

Nice photos Chris.
Both appear to be before 1910, with the hockey photo likely circa-1905.
I hope this info helps.
