You need to either get a bigger room or start the overflow into another room. I guess you can go full hoarder and start stacking on the ground to ceiling...😳

I just picked up a large group of memorabilia from the estate of Robin Reed (google him, he may be the greatest amateur wrestler who ever lived). Included in the lot were his 1924 Olympics badge and belt buckle, framed photos of the Olympic team, a menu from the Olympics signed by everyone who was at his table, a large poster publicizing a world champion match against Jack Reynolds and a scrapbook filled with good stuff.

Wow, Dan, what a haul! Congrats!

[ksfarmboy]

Very cool Dan. Do you know where his gold medal is?

[slidekellyslide]

Clint, I do not. I would hope that it is still with his family or perhaps Oregon State University has it?

[yankeesjetsfan]

Awesome stuff guys. Rob, love the Giants additions!

1927 Toros Y Deportes (El Universal Taurino) Magazine from Mexico.
The title translates to Bulls and Sports (The Universal Bullfighting)

New Benny Kauff bat. Never thought I'd pick up one of these. I have been telling myself to stay disciplined and to focus only on Pirates bats. But , hey, it's a Benny Kauff bat! And, now I can say that I have bats from 1/2 of the 1918 Giants' starting lineup!!! I'll bet not too many people are working on that set of bats!!!!

Not a rare glove as Rawlings produced this model for about four years, but the condition is spectacular...so the condition is what makes it rare. Probably one of the most visually appealing contextual retail items of the period. In the displays I have done over the years, items like tend to resonate well with folks, often prompting discussions of there first glove, or in some cases, why they wanted a particular model as a young player.

Dave -

Your glove looks just like the Armour Franks Premium that I have.

That was my first glove. Got it over 50 years ago and still have it. I remember the day like it was yesterday.

Dan - Very nice pick up of Olympic memorabilia.

Not full hoarder quite yet. I "cantilevered" a couple of shelf brackets off the side of a bookcase. Full hoarder is not far off.

I know I am going to regret this, but I am falling in love with glove boxes..

Dave,
Sweet Warneke glove box-terrific graphics! I haven't seen this one before.
Thanks for sharing

[Dave Grob]

Scott,

Thanks.. I think the only nicer glove box I have seen is for some guy named "Vander" something or other..
