January 2012 Pick-Up Thread...

Thats a beautiful Vander Meer would love to see Graigs efforts on that one. Please post it when he completes it. These are my last pick ups unitl June. They were actually purchased last month and arrived earlier this week. I purchased 4 Lazzeri pictures for some reason. They are all Type 1, if anyone is interested in one of them let me know. I think the 1955 Kaline and 1938 Hubbell in the dugout shots would look great as paintings but I can barely afford the photographs. Graig's talents are way out of my league. Although I primarily collect hall of fame members I could not resist the Castro photogaph. I am willing to bet his team won that game

Regarding post #47; Boy Mike. You have a terrific eye there! Very nice pick-ups.

Two great pickups this week:

- Circa 1940's original cartoon artwork of Johnny Vander Meer by Cincinnati artist Russ that was a regular contributor to News of the Reds. This came to me from fellow net54 collector Laughlinfan. Thanks Marty, I love it!
Dimensions are approximately 9" x 14".

- Another tremendous pickup for my advanced Walter Johnson collection. A terrific 1929 steel tipped fountain pen 3 x 5 of HOF'er Walter Johnson. One of the nicest I have ever seen. Thanks Greg (Gnaz on net54)!

Glad to see that artwork in your collection where it belongs, Scott! Enjoy!

Marty

Thrilled with my latest Cleveland Indians collectable! Great stories about Gene Bearden and legendry boxer Joe Louis.

OK so I picked up a nice little picture last week and finally got it today.

1923 World Series Game 5 10/14/23 By Paul Thompson.
Showing Joe Dugan scoring on his inside the park HR in the botom of the second inning. Whitey Witt and Bullet Joe Bush scored in front of him. Babe Ruth is standing by pointing to the plate, as he was on deck behind Dugan in the lineup.
Also pictured is Hank Gowdy catching for the NY Giants, Home Plate Umpire HOFer Billy Evans, and batboy Eddie Bennett.
Pic is approx 7x9.

Jeez Mark. That is a great, GREAT photograph! I've never seen such a stellar early image from such an important game. That is quite spectacular. I mean, just look how much is going on there. An extremely historic photo from Yankee Stadium's Inaugural Season that also saw them bring home their first of many World Series Titles... and a Thompson photo to boot. It don't get much better than that!

Way to go Mark!

Thanks Jimmy!

I am anxious to find out more about this..... It will be fun to see what I can discover.... I am pretty sure that it belonged to Lefty Grove. It could have been used on an equipment bag of Lefty's... Perhaps carried with the team when they played their away games. I don't know yet for sure...

Finally found a Baseball Magazine Premium of the 1948 Cleveland Indians team...
