November Pickups
 

I guess I'll start November off with these two pieces. A 1958 LA Dodgers home schedule banner that came from a vendor in the area. Also picked up a GoodYear military negro league team photo.

Great start to the pickups Ronnie

Never seen that banner before, I'm quite jealous! Very nice pick-up.

Got this cool Yogi Yoo-hoo cup was listed as 60s but I think maybe early 70s. Dating it seems near impossible.

This is likely smallest thing I've ever bought on eBay — it measures only 3/4 of an inch. Not only does it feature one of the coolest Tiger mascots I've seen, but it appears to have come from an active war zone. When I tracked it online, I discovered that it was shipped from Dnipro, Ukraine on Oct. 23. The city was targeted by Russian missiles at least twice in the previous two weeks. I tracked the package online, and after it reached Odessa, it fell off the radar for about 10 days before popping up in Jamaica, New York. Two days later, it arrived in my post office box.

These pins were part of a Detroit Free Press promotion in 1935 when the Tigers won the World Series. "Iffy" penned a column in the newspaper.

I agree with 60's in fact early 60's. By 65 Yogi was a Met. And late 60's early 70's had the 7-11 cups. I think the style of plastic cup you would expect from the 70's era would be more like the 7-11 cups vs the style of cup you have.

Makes sense to me. Didn't take that simple fact into account. Facepalm. Thanks Jonathan.

Love it!

So awful what is happening in Ukraine. :(

Some amazing items.

nothing for me this month

But keep them coming everyone

Not a new purchase but just got my Jarry Stadium seats (Expos 1969-1976) back from putting legs on them

My lone November pickup so far. c.1918-21 Charles Conlon photo of Stuffy McInnis. Technically won in October but delivered in November.:)

Picked up a super hard to find Davega catalog with Lou on the back.

Awesome! Really love Sporting Goods Catalogs from the 1930s and older. Now you just need to find a pair of those cleats to match the Catalog image!

I actually know someone who has the shoes and the box with the label. It's beautiful

Oh, that's cool. You often see the DiMaggio endorsed cleats New-In-Box, but don't think I've ever seen the Gehrig Cleats.

He bought these early this year.

What an interesting piece! Is there a date on it? This would seem to date the demise of D&M. Not a huge expert on these thingss, but don't think I've heard of Davega before, despite their claim to be the country's biggest sports outfitter. Would love to be able to read some of the names of the endorsed gloves, mitts, and bats. Anyone know if there's a relation between Davega and the Athco cleats someone posted? So much to digest here.

Wikipedia has an article on Davega Stores, located in New York apparently.

I just picked up this wonderful photo of the 1944 Senators — I'd been watching it on eBay for years as a BIN, and the seller finally auctioned it with a low minimum bid. It's filled with an interesting assortment of war-time fill-ins, including a few players from Latin America (Mike Guerra, Alex Carrasquel, Roberto Ortiz). There are also some great old-timers as manager and coaches (Ossie Bluege, Nick Altrock, George Uhle and Clyde Milan), along with HOFer Rick Ferrell, the ill-fated Jake Powell and a very early Early Wynn. The billboards in Griffith Stadium make a great backdrop.

That's a great photo, Chris!

Nice photo. George Case was from where I grew up and had a sporting goods store. As an aside he was related to the Case’s pork roll family.

Chris I had same photo. I got it from a board member who bought it as part of items from Dutch Leonard's estate. I thought it was 43 based on players. It looked good on my wall for a few years and I sold mine on BST. Such a great photo..with alot of tough signatures. Enjoy it.

Super excited to grab this on Heritage tonight.Attachment 543144

Goes with my ticket and program collection from 1927 WS.

My Olympic club collector's show was in Colorado Springs the first weekend of November. Despite publicizing it our show rarely attracts anyone off of the street. Being in Colorado Springs, home of the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee, Training Center and Museum we did expect more than normal. During the show one of the other members came up to me and started looking for an autograph. He asked me to come to his table. A woman was standing there. She said her grandfather, Ben Eastman, competed in the 1932 Olympics. I knew who he was as I had written him in the early 1990's. He won a silver medal in the 400m. I told her I had the cover of the 1932 Time magazine he was on signed by him and I would send it to her for free. I also have a number of photos I could scan and email to her. She said she would come back the next day. She came to my table the next day with two boxes. One had a 6' x 8' Olympic flag, presumably from the 1932 games. She showed me a photo of it in a frame on her wall. It looks like she went through quite a bit to get it down.

The other box was his wool warmup suit from the 1932 Olympics. She gave me the box and said she wanted me to have it. She appreciated my knowledge and enthusiasm and knew I would enjoy having it. Strangely, she had contacted the Olympic Museum years ago and they did not respond to her. The archivist, a Parlympic medalist and two time winner of the NY City Marathon wheelchair division, said they did not have one and would gladly display it if I would loan it to them. I want to enjoy having it in my possession for now. Perhaps I will loan it to them in the future.

Here are some photos. It is almost navy blue and made by Spalding. My camera was being stubborn so no good photos of the tagging. The zippers on the pants still work perfectly. I am also including a photo of the Reemstma card that shows him wearing it. He is on the right. The photo of the box is how it will be stored. That is an archival, metal edge box. The two pieces are folded in unbuffered tissue and there a desiccant cannister inside. When covered the box will be placed in a polyethylene bag.

Now I don't collect Olympic items, but that is unbelievably spectacular. To have that survive for so long is crazy. Congrats.

Agreed! Congrats on this amazing pickup, Michael.
I would say that these historic artifacts have landed in exactly the right hands. :cool:

Not a recent pick up but prewar Davega items dont show up often. This is a 1938 Schedule for all 3 NY teams as well as the Jersey city Giants and The 1938 "Wonder Bears" it also advertise the Four Minute Crossing into NY via the Tunnells and Bridges. LOL for any who have traveled them recently.

Mark and Scott,

Thank you for the kind words. Many of the members of my group, much like some collectors in the major four sports, do not appreciate the history of the game(s). They are happy with their pins, medals and programs, but little else. I consider myself to be fortunate to be the caretaker of such an item.

Some new photos for me recently - sorry for the big images; they are normal sized on my PC...

an early shot of Joe McGinnity

Frank Chance as manager of the 1923 Red Sox, his last appearance in a ML uniform before his death a year later

Grover Alexander returning from WW1 in 1918

An early photo of Frank Frisch as a member of the NY Giants and

Amos Rusie playing the field in a shot from what I believe is from a 1921 reunion of old NY Giants players in which Rusie appeared

My oh my, those are fantastic images.

Outstanding!

Joe McGinnity what's up with those spikes... good lord

Ha I just noticed those now - he could aerate the field with those things

Maybe he had longer cleats (not spikes) made, helping him in some way or at least he thought so. Those look to be about twice as long as regular cleats.

Grabbed these for $10 each today.

Wow. Those are seriously cool.

It may be similar to track cleats that were used on dirt or cinder tracks. There are different lengths of the pointed spikes depending on what you did. Shorter ones for longer distances, high jump, pole vault and longer ones for sprinters, javelin. The longer ones may be good for stealing bases. Those big squared off spikes may be good for digging in to get a good jump while stealing

Real photo postcard of the stadium cancelled at the stadium on August 12, the date of the baseball game. The message: "I hope you enjoy the baseball match as much as I do!! Ha-ha. Love ? & Phil. It appears Phil may have sent it to himself.

Picked up this photo featuring a nice Wright & Ditson uniform and a Jimmie Ripple Krens bat.

Jimmy Ripple bat!
