October Pickup Thread

Thanks Mike! Here are the details of the swap:
The Reds Museum received my donation of the Ewell Blackwell trophy ball from his 16th consecutive win in 1947 that I showed on the Cincinnati Reds thread on net54 earlier this month. They allowed me to add one of the two Ken Johnson no-hitter ticket stubs to my collection in the swap.
Both of us did great in this trade and I'm stoked my ball went to their great museum so others can now enjoy it.
They were thrilled & so was I.

Back story: The ticket stubs had apparently been donated to the Reds Museum last year by a major Reds collector. Chris Eckes, the curator went back to the donor to see if he would give the swap his blessing and he graciously did. The Ken Johnson no-hitter exhibit still is in play, sans one of the two tickets.
I can tell you that this was perhaps my only shot of finding one of these bad boys. Colt 45's tickets at HOU are brutal to find to any game & I've never seen or heard of another in 47 years.

Glad it worked out for both parties. Awesome pick ups Scott!!!!

Thanks Doug!
I have to pay you a similar compliment as well. Your tenacity with what you have been able to accomplish with your m113 and m114 Baseball Magazine Supplements is truly epic.

It's definitely been a long slog in the quest to complete both of our collections.
If anyone would get it, it would be you.

BTW, I'm amazed at the incredible diverse collections that regular contributors have in our net54 community. I've learned so much as a collector in the last 10 years on net54. I appreciate everyone's contributions and sharing your own amazing collections.

Scott, that is such a cool story. Glad it worked out so well for both you and the museum.

Congratulations Scott! That Ken Johnson stub sounds impossible but you figured out a way.

I love it. Congrats again!
