Finally picked up one of the brown HOF bats for my favorite player Wade Boggs. Pic is from the listing as I just bought it this morning.:)

That's a pretty cool photo, congrats.

Made a deal for these 2 Boggs bats last night. I believe this gives me 40 different Wade Boggs model bats.:)

Always loved these. Ubiquitous in the old days, getting harder and harder to come by now.

That boggles my mind.

Nice one!

LOL, good one. It amazes me there are that many different models. I know of at least 10 other models I don't own yet and I only collect Louisville Slugger bats.

Picked up a Harry Heilmann professional model bat.

Sweet bat! Beautiful patina…

Thank you Jim!

That is awesome!

Fantastic! Beautiful Bat of a .400 Hitter, and tremendously underrated HOFer!

Thank you sir!

Mark, thank you! I'm loving the youtube channel. I look forward to watching your upcoming episodes. Your collection is out of this world! Thank you for sharing it.

Sure thing... so glad you are enjoying it! The latest episode focuses on the transition from the Lemon Peel to Figure 8 Ball. Pretty interesting "evolution"...

Baseball Magazines
 

Added two more nice condition prewar magazines to my Baseball Star & HOFer Magazines Collection

Some amazing pickups this month. Doug, I love that Red Sox M114.

I've added a Roger Maris Cut Signature (JSA Certified) to go in what I'm now calling Yankees Corner.

Those pennants are off the charts!

I do too, but it's not mine, it was posted by docpatlv

A few nice college football items

My apologies docpatlv. A very nice pickup.

BTW, I had a look at the image gallery from your footer. What a fantastic collection

Picked up this original photo of the Atlanta Crackers. Shown on the far left is a young Bob Uecker. Ca.1958https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5ba9fc24c0.jpg

No worries Gary, and thanks. Appreciate the kind words. It’s what happens when you have no focus.

I haven’t posted a pick up in quite sometime. Here is an autographed Willie Stargell Hall of Fame induction ceremony invitation I just added to my collection.

New Pickup
 

I am so lucky to acquire a former AAGPBL 's album of when she played back in the 1940's and later again in the early 50's. These 3 photo albums tell a story which began when she was 15 and continued through 1992 when she was involved with the Penny Marshall production of League of their Own. There are over 60 original photos from the time period and several like these 2 shown here are also signed. A treasure for sure.

My fascination with scoreboards continues....
 

Just received this scoreboard in the mail. The Johnnie Neblett story was tragic.

Great piece!!

Thank you. I really like the colors! It will be a good thing if there is a long break before another scoreboard that strikes my fancy comes up for sale.

I love it, too! Columbus Red Birds? 1930s-40s?

Yes, Columbus Red Birds. Per the seller - "We date this sign as prior to 1941, when Johnnie Neblett left broadcasting the Columbus Redbirds to move to St Louis and then Chicago. Neblett was killed tragically in a plane crash in 1946. So the sign almost certainly dates to the late 1930s, perhaps 1940 or no later than 1941." The sign measures 13 1/2 x 27 1/4 and was made by the Donaldson Art Sign Co. in Covington, Ky.

That sounds incredibly cool. Do you know the AAGPBL player's name, and is there any available info about her?
