Wow! One hundred packs of cards--five bucks!--and you got to meet Lou and had your picture taken with him!

We were born way too late.

Grazie paisan. That PC is sweet. I've never seen a ballplayer using a target instead of a catchers glove!

I also won the Membership card and envelope last month, but missed out on the patch for the complete set.

More terrific Gehrig items! You are now considered competition! That's what I get for talking you into collecting photos.

You're right David. We were born too late. Also, agree with Mark, nice catch indeed!

This came in yesterday's mail. c. 1920's B.F. Keith's Theatre - BABE RUTH Himself - Advertising Handout Promoting the Bambino "HIMSELF" in his One Man Vaudeville Show.

Born and raised on a New Hampshire farm, B. F. Keith began his
show business career in the 1870s working in circuses. In 1883 he
opened a dime museum in Boston and soon began presenting live
variety acts in its 300-seat theater. With his partner Edward F.
Albee, Keith leased several regular theaters in the Northeast,
presenting low-priced, completely respectable “vaudeville” shows
that ran continuously from morning to night. In the early twentieth
century the Keith-Albee Circuit came to dominate big-time
vaudeville.

Having such disposable income aside, how you guys find some of this stuff amazes me.

Jimmy,
It's all your fault. I could've been peacefully puttering around with my few Gehrig items here and there. Now I've become a companion item guy.
Thanks,
Mark

Speaking of companion pieces, Mark. A huge "thank you" goes out to Ben/ForeverYoung for spoon feeding me this immaculate 1937 "Who's Who in Baseball" booklet that is the same exact image of Gehrig, as the TYPE 1 photograph that I started this thread with. Thanks again Ben!

That photo is just killer...I was on it too but Jimmy "pulled the trigger" while I was dragging by feet. It is crystal clear... very very nice pickup.

I started my year off with a bang as well(2 purchases). I picked up a nice TYPE 1 CHARLES CONLON BABE RUTH PHOTO as a companion piece to go along with my ORIGINAL KREINDLER OIL PAINTING that I will be receiving shortly.





This is my favorite Ruth Image of all time so I am very very lucky to have acquired these. The bubble gum is just classic! The only bad news is, I might not have any money to spend the rest of the year! HAHA
Thanks again Graig. Just fantastic work!

Got my Hal Chase photo lot today and this nice one was included. Trimmed but still cool! Too bad he didnt sign that baseball!

Only our own beloved, Graig Kreindler could force a "Masterpiece" by the Legendary Charles Conlon into the role of a "Companion Piece" Atta Boy Brutha! And Ben, way to go in pulling the trigger for one of Conlon's all-time finest images!
