June Pick up thread

[GrayGhost]

Perhaps because of the "off condition" I got this IMO for a good price. Scarce Unscored. 1939 RED SOX vs Yale program at Yale. w Ted Williams, batting 6th in RF. just three days before his ML debut vs Yankees. Foxx and Cronin and Doerr also played, and I found a detailed article on the game on the Yale website too.

IMO very cool Teddy B and Red Sox item.

I was able to land this wonderful 1935 Wheaties card as a companion piece (what else) for my 1928 TYPE I photo...

Newly matted/framed, so posting here in the June thread....

[Scott Garner]

Wow! Truly an awesome framing job- nice!!!

[mr2686]

that blue matting really makes it pop...well done!

[Rob D.]

Mark,

Were you able to find a vintage frame, or is that a newer one? Looks nice.

Sorry not pre-war, but a holy-grail item for me.

Arrived at work today and on the desk in my office was a package waiting for me. I have been waiting (impatiently) for about 15 years to add this Clemente item to my collection. I first saw one at the Ft. Washington show in about 1995 and passed on it at the time. I have regretted it ever since, have attempted to win some that have been on e-bay in the last year or so but came up short. This last time I saw one, I took the plunge. A couple of other HOF'ers came along for the ride....

Mark. What ever you had to give up in order to acquire this spectacular piece, was well worth it! Easily one of the best display pieces that I have ever seen. Best, Jimmy

Found this old glove. But glad to give it away.

I am excited that it is headed to an Oakland A's minor affliate's Ball Park Museum.

Hey Chris,
Good style-nice! What a neat story and an extremely cool thing to do- turning Bud's glove over to the museum. I think you made exactly the right choice!

Thanks Jimmy! It is a pretty killer piece.

You did incredibly well yourself, with the Movie Viewer. Those graphics on the Box are incredible with the iconic image of Cobb. What a great acquisition, in amazingly clean condition. Must be in "never played with" condition, and has to be one of the best to exist. Congrats!

Newly matted/framed today. Many thanks to Mark (Perezfan) for allowing me the opportunity to own this wonderful display. Adam

A couple of pickups...A beautiful Dutch Ruether GPC originally from the Dr. John Davis Jr. collection, A players contract for George Hendrick signed by Pirates GM Joe L. Brown (for my 1960 Pirates project) and 3 more 3000 hit tickets/stubs (Carew, Rose and Biggio).

[MGHPro]

A few new 40k's.

I posted this piece on the card side but I wanted to post it here too. Absolutely love this piece. It is a 1903 Cabinet of Harry Howell while he was part of the first ever New York Yankees team.

[vintagesportflips]

Great pickups guys, beautiful bats Matt.

Here are a couple of my recent pickups.
First is an 1884 Wright and Ditson paper catalog pamphlet (4 pages total including the front) It has the Union Association Ball on the front which I believe only existed in 1884.



Next I picked up this fairly early bat. It has a flat end and handle, and has more of a straight taper. Am I correct dating this bat to the 1870s. I am pretty much a bat novice, so please correct me if I am wrong.

Great piece, this was cut from a larger Horner composite correct?

Damn Matt. Those are some really sweet bats you got there. What does the marking "40 K" represent?

My best, Jimmy

[mr2686]

Jimmy, that's a great 1938 Gehrig photo! Makes me a bit sad though. He had just come off another great year and had no way of knowing that within a year he'd be diagnosed with ALS and pass away within 3 years. Even as his body was failing him, he still managed to hit .295 and knock in 114 runs in 1938. The man truly was the Iron Horse.

Hi Jimmy,
The 40k is the kork grip handle.

Very happy to pick up this 1914 Michigan Baseball Program with George Sisler pictured on the cover...............

[Vintagecatcher]

Since I'm rarely finding any cards to add to my collection, I have started to add some more memorabilia items to my collection. Anyone have any catcher figurals for sale?


Thanks,


Patrick

Would you be interested in vintage chest protectors? I have an early D&M Apron style and a very interesting early Inflatable Model I could sell. Both are quite rare, desirable and in nice shape.

Please just email or PM me if interested....

Thanks (and nice pickup on the Mask!)

[Vintagecatcher]

Hi Perez Fan,

Thanks for the response. Before I got into card collecting, I had several of the early inflatable chest protectors.

They are cool items, but tough to display because of their size.

Thanks,


Patrick
