Sweet Twins cup Dan, if they're in nice as shape as it appears I'd be willing to take one off your hands. |

Who were the MLB ringers? Stories of such teams are usually interesting. |

Lil Stoner is the only former major leaguer, but there were two future major leaguers on the roster in Lon Goldstein, and Howie McFarland. It's interesting that the minor league database and Baseball Reference disagree on the birth year of most every player listed by two years. Either the players or the team were fudging their birthdates. Also one player listed is Jack Mealey who is said to have played for the White Sox, Pirates and Red Sox, but no major league record exists for him....he does however have a pretty solid minor league career and even a stint as the president of the Sooner State League. Perhaps maybe he went to spring training with the above listed clubs and he considered that "played for" or maybe he was a bullpen catcher not listed on the roster? |

The "baseball age" of a player can change due to a particular situation. Gene Mauch is a perfect case in point. When he started out as a player, I believe he first claimed to be older. Then, as he aged, he went back to his true D.O.B. Once he started his managerial career, he actually bumped his age up a couple of years to add the appearance of "extra maturity". |

It is a Jim Beam Commemorative bourbon bottle commemorating 100 years (1869-1969) of professional baseball. |

Dan, that Champlin Refiners program sounds neat. They won the National Baseball Congress tournament in 1940 and 1941. |

Dan, my friend that owns the card store sold it to me. I worked a card show with him Sunday and he cut me a deal on it. I've got a couple other items from the 1955 Global World Series also. This bag is more like a bat bag where the other was closer to a duffle bag. I was pretty pumped to get it. |

Well, I did get a few catalogs. I really like the Goldsmith, but anything with Ruth on it is nice, too! |

Thanks for the reply Chris. I did some checking myself later last night and found about the same conclusion as you. |

I picked up the same nifty Circular "Spitter" Mask as pictured on the cover of Shawn's Goldsmith Catalogue. Thanks, Shawn for pinpointing the date to 1937! |

Picked up this 1960 Tigers picture pennant. I've never seen this variation before. One of the few things I've been able to land recently. I'm currently in a horrible dry spell when it comes to this stuff. |

I will be glad to once I receive it. It looks far better than this scan I have, especially since it's been cleaned. It's very clean and bright looking now. I was told that nothing at all had been added only the dirt removed..........I am happy to have it. Now my office walls won't be bare anymore. 1903 Horner Composites are very scarce, I understand, and from my limited knowledge, concur. When I saw this in person, recently, I knew it was the piece I had been looking for....and consummated the deal a day or two ago...I hope this is the right place to post about it |

Leon, if this isn't the right place to post it, then that has to be the biggest card ever. I guess another one for your type collection. |

Keith, if you part out that Nebraska quilt (If even possible) I'd be interested in the 1910 Red Cloud pennant. |

Keith... The St. Louis University Pennanty is a beauty! Definitely circa 1910-15. What are the dimensions of that one in inches (height x length?) |

Thanks Mark, The St Louis pennant actually isn't that large - it measures in at 21 inches long with the tassles and 8 inches high. |

I also just picked up this CHYP tin as well. I really liked it when Carlton showed his and just came across this one. I have heard people say the C stands for Columbia, Colgate and Cornell, but in looking at the tin in person, the C appears to be orange, and none of the above colleges ever had orange as one of their colors. The only one that comes to mind is Clemson, but they were founded in 1889 and I think this tin predates them, and even if it postdates them, I don't think they would be included on this tin being such a new school. I think Columbia makes more sense with the other schools on the tin, however, I guess the red of Cornell and Colgate would be a closer match to the orange. Does anyone know for certain what the C is? |

Robert. To make your post on topic, I propose this piece looks like the petrified ear of Harry Wright. |

Danny- I don't have the 1903 Horner Composite in hand yet so do not know if it has Dummy Taylor on it. I will check when I receive it which should be early next week. |
