December pickups
 

A day early, but what the hell...
Just completed this Fred Toney Hippo Vaughan framed project that I have been working on for a while. I'm happy with the way it turned out. :cool:

On May 2, 1917 in Chicago, Cincinnati Reds pitcher and Chicago Cubs pitcher James "Hippo" Vaughan squared off in a pitching duel for the ages.
For the first and only time in ML baseball, both pitchers hurled 9 innings of no-hit ball.
In the 10th inning Hippo Vaughan allowed the first run to score allowing Fred Toney and the Reds to complete the no-hitter and walk away the winner!

Here is a Type I photo of Toney's last out trophy ball, the ticket and a few other cool items that commemorated the game.
The second I found the photo in 2020, I knew that I would find a way to frame this and get this bad boy up on the wall. ;)

I tried my iPhone and laptop. It so not see any photos that you may have attached

Interested and would love to see themes

Looks great! Job well done!!

wow now it came across and that looks great

Congrats

Scott, that came out really nice. Well done.

I've been looking for a nice one of these for some time. Thanks to a board member.

Thanks Jeffrey, Tony and Mike!

Gary when I see that I just have to say

'I Will Drink to That"

Very nice

That's really cool Scott! Congrats!

Always on the lookout for "affordable" ways to collect Ruth pieces for the hobby room. These Ruth underwear items fit the bill, one being the small wooden bat the other, the box itself with the beaming Babe. This should be a really good thread this month !

A few of my recent pickups. The Johnny O Neil bat I just received to go along with his contracts and letters from his days with the Phillies and PCL. A 1949 Mickey Vernon GU bat, 1996-97 Rickey Henderson GU bat and a 1965 Don LeJohn GU bat. LeJohn was on the 65 Championship Dodgers team with only one at bat in the series.

That would frame out nicely!

That frame job is extremely well done. Congrats.

Thanks Mark! Happy holidays!

Awesome mail day
 

I love it when I find an old bat label I haven't seen before.
Has anyone heard of the Cincinnati Soaker brand?

And, a very cool Zinn Beck 200.

Just got this one back from Michaels this Morning.Glad to add it to my Montreal Expos ticket collection.
"In a 4-2 victory over the Montreal Expos Houston Astros Superstar Nolan Ryan became the all-time strikeout leader by striking out Brad Mills in the 8th inning. his 3509th strikeout surpassed the record held for 55 years by the Great Walter Johnson."
Note* it was discovered many years later That Walter Johnson had in fact 3509 strikeouts and not 3508, so this ticket actually tied the record and not surpassed it. I love it either way.

That’s a beautiful presentation of that ticket Guy!

Thompson Photos
 

Nice Paul Thompson Photos of Otis Johnson 1911 and Bert Daniels 1910 (undated but 1910 uni)

And now for something a little different....I just had a few photo/portrait packs arrive in the mail this week.

• 1971 Arco Pirates
• 1970 Super Valu Twins
• 1969 Atlantic Richfield Red Sox

Sorry about the glare on the photos.

Those are nice! Funny to see all the Pirates without caps.

+1 agree

Thanks. I didn't even know these sets existed until I came upon them in an auction. They're a bit harder to store due their size but I really like these and they compliment the 1967 Dexter Press set that I'm building.

$400 worth of "stuff"
 

A 1940's NY Giants pennant.

A Fieldmaster glove. Most sellers say this is circa. 1970. I've also seen Cubs, Red Sox and Dodgers.

A 1960 nodder. Of the 40 vintage SF nodders I own, this is the only one with the doll looking right.

A 1960's Quinco bank. I bought it for friends who have a son attending the University of Georgia.

I guess I could have gotten a 1991 Cal Ripken card for the same money, but I'm good! :p

Doug

awesome! It is super cool having the actual camera negative. Only problem with these is there isny much safe way to display them

Doug, that 1891 Leslie's cover is a stunner! Adding to my ever-expanding wantlist!

Happy to pick up this item for my Cleveland Baseball Magazines Collection, a Mar 7 1965 copy of El Figaro (Mexico) featuring the "Gran Figura," Luis Tiant.

I did not set out to collect so many Latin American magazines, but I find myself with about a dozen now, with many more amazing Beisbol magazines to be had!

Tell the truth. You bought this for the chica on the cover.

Thank you, it's beautiful, that's for sure, with thanks to the most recent LOTG Auction.

Doug

+1 Agreed

Beyond excited to get these plate glass negatives in hand! Matty and WaJo! Matty used for his Max Stein Postcard and P796 and WaJo for his 1914 Cracker Jack and 1921 Exhibits

amazing! Do you have a way to display these? Im trying to figure out how myself

Great finish to a strong month and year to pickups

Looking forward to seeing what next year brings

I cannot figure out why people keep asking this question. It is a negative. You would not display a regular (celluloid) negative. Why would you 'display' this? It can be scanned and a high quality print can be made from it. It can then be wrapped in archival paper and stored for safe keeping. That is what I do with my several dozen including one that is about 7 x 10. I also do this with magic lantern slides. If I get the space I may store them flat in a drawer. I also put bubble wrap around them as I want to protect them.

I cant figure out why there are people who think giving a smart ass useless response is a good idea?I keep asking this question in hopes that there IS a way to display it. IF there was a safe way to display this I would display it why not?! I understand they are negatives, they are not the first glass plates I have bought. None of that is hard to understand.

Common sense. Susceptible to moisture and mold not to mention fragile. Perhaps useless in your mind, but not everyone.
