Please show your large memorabilia items
 

Not what I usually collect, but I think this is pretty cool. I could see adding large pieces to the collection. Please show your large memorabilia items.

Neat item. Your link produced a "lot not found". I managed to find the lot. Hope the following link works.

I fixed the link (I hope). Thank you!

Joe T. does it again!!!

While it is a cool item, how did someone decide it is Nap Lajoie and not a generic depiction? I would have guessed it was a generic player. It does have a good look to it.

Here are a couple large pieces I love.

An original broadside from 1941 featuring Satchel Paige. The game itself has a ton of cool history as well.

And a framed Big 6 Matty board game from I believe 1924.

Love big display pieces but there’s only so much room for them!

Wow, those Satchel and Matty items are incredible. Thank you for sharing.

You should change the name of this thread to "Please show your large memorabilia items." it will get more eyes that way.

Here's one of mine from the New York Times

Done and thanks!

Is this large enough Fer ya????
 

But what will I do with it???

That's pretty great!

Looks like you need to put a flagpole on your roof...

This is my biggest piece, Forbes Field exterior window, 5’ x 10’

Also, Forbes Field turnstile which weighs about 125-150 lbs.

Beautiful Mike when I saw this post go up I thought of you right out the gate! I knew you would post that window! LOL Great Items!

This 1909 panoramic of the Huntington Ave Grounds is 8 1/2 feet long! This is the largest pano from the era by a wide margin as compared to any I have ever seen....

I shared some better pics and close-ups of the photo in this thread years ago when I first acquired it....

This is a great thread idea! Great items so far

That Satchel Paige is a beautiful thing

My Olympic Stadium and Jarry Park Seats

Here’s another large item that was actually too tall for my sports room. Cleveland Municipal Stadium ticket window. It’s 9 foot tall.

I'm loving this stuff.

Makes me remember when I was touring thru Chicago in a van and trailer in early 1991 (with A Flock Of Seagulls). We stopped by the not yet completely demolished site of Old Comiskey Park where, after liberating a bunch of bricks, I was trying to figure out what to do with one of the outfield wall pads, and eventually decided that getting it home was not going to happen.

The outfield wall would’ve been cool but definitely hard to display and or move.

I bet you have some fun stories about touring with A Flock of Seagulls

That piece is insane. Love it.

It wasn't a piece of the wall, just one of the big pads.

If I had a bigger truck I could have taken a bunch of them and my house would now be covered with them.

Man, I LOVE that window. That is such a cool piece. I remember seeing this some time ago in another thread and thought that’s the greatest piece ever (still is)…

Gonna need to get a vaulted ceiling and put that awesome piece in there. So cool!

It actually fits in our great room which has tall ceilings.

1907 Highlanders
 

Here is large 1907 Highlanders composite photo. Apparently a presentation piece after the season. On back in pencil is "All Orth"

Giant baseball bat with a TV remote next to it for size comparison.

40” by 30” silk banner

The Tigers ALWAYS had the AWESOME looking banners. Why couldn’t the O’s have at least one that was this cool.

Pete Runnels was my favorite Washington Senator when I was a kid in the 1950's. It broke my heart when, after a poor 1957 season, Runnels was traded to the Red Sox. After some batting tips from Ted Williams, Runnels went on to hit over .300 in each of the 5 seasons he played for the Red Sox, winning AL batting titles in 1960 and 1962.

I have been avidly collecting Runnels cards and memorabilia ever since I began collecting again as an adult in the late 1980's. So, you can imagine how thrilled I was to acquire this large, 32" x 48" point-of-sale advertising piece (I assume) for a rather-simplistic, batting-practice device that was endorsed by both Runnels and Dick Groat, the 1960 NL Batting Champion, and that hangs on the wall of my man cave, at an Anaheim NSCC many years ago. I have included pics of the Little Pro batting-practice device.

Joe D chair is rather large

Val…that Runnels piece is so cool.

So many nice LARGE items being pictured thought I’d post a relatively large Orioles piece from The Baltimore Sun. Placed an 8x10 below to get a perspective.

Very cool.

Me too! :cool:

WOW...that's architectural...congrats on that...

Forbes Field original Usher chair

Cool chair Scott. I like that you borrowed Leon's quarter for scale.

unintentional.lol

Mark & Dean, glad you liked the Runnels piece.

Mark, your cool Orioles piece really dwarfs the 8x10 photo What is its size?

One of those big banners (about 20') you see pulled across the street in old photos

So many beyond neat items in this thread so far! I have to admit my favorite is the huge Baseball Tonight banner. I have always wondered if these are double sided or not. Any history on the piece such as what town it come from?

Looks like you have a bunch of other great pieces right below that are teasing to get in the shot!

Thanks Michael
This one isn’t double sided. Unfortunately didn’t get much backstory from the seller, somewhere in Massachusetts was the best they could figure. I’m always looking for RPPC’s that show a downtown with one of these banners spanning the street hoping to match it up.
And here’s an un cropped picture of the wall. Has some other larger items on it that can fit with this topic…

Fantastic stuff! Here's some banners.

Laraine Day (Mrs. Durocher) dugout backdrop for her radio show.

Bus banner from 2014 WS parade. It resides in the garage.

One of the not too many banners that flew over some of SF's tallest buildings when it looked like the Giants were leaving, following the 1992 season.

A couple of Wrigley Field flags.

Various stuff. The "Welcome" banner is from Spring Training in AZ.

No idea what the story is on this nine footer. It came from an advanced Giants collector in SF. It does have a spot on a wall.

Generic bunting manufactured by Paramount Flag in SF. This one resides in the garage.

My favorite. Batter and pitcher varieties were interspersed with the standard red, white and blue buntings at the first game ever in Candlestick Park. By my calculations there were only 12 pitchers and 12 batters out of a total of 48 buntings.

1971 Tour of Japan Poster - Jim Palmer
1972 Pro Star Promotions Poster - Willie Stargell
1968 SI Poster - Matted and Framed - Tom Seaver

Val, the O’s piece is around 50”x40” (definitely a decent size!).

Oh my; that Baseball banner is super cool! I only have a small room to display so something this size wouldn’t fit in my room so I’ll just have to remain in awe of your banner (AND room).

ALL just plain AWESOME! My favorites are the two flags and each of the buntings you’ve pictured. Love your collection!

I’ve been looking for the Orioles Tour of Japan poster since I saw a photo of one quite a number of years ago. I believe there is one on eBay that’s located in Japan, but I guess I don’t love it enough to spend that type of money on it.

I have a few tickets from the tour as well as the magazines that were put out referencing the games. Been looking for programs as well, but have been unable to locate any from the tour (seen photos of a few).

If you want I can display it for you?!? JK; love the poster; great item!
