Just got these in today....a couple of Lincoln Athletics from 1948 -Ed Boehm and Al Bower...nobodies in the larger scheme of baseball, but pure gold to me. |

PCGS will grade baseball currency? Seems odd since they were coupons and not really currency. Still way cool...I would love to have that Deadwood, SD currency that sold last year. |

Yeah, I wish I could find one of those old A's jerseys. I read somewhere that Connie Mack did outfit his minor league clubs with old Major League jerseys which means if I ever do find that style of jersey it will probably cost me much more than if it was only associated with Lincoln, but on the other hand just finding that style jersey could fit my collection even if it was never worn by a Lincoln player. |

Picked up this nifty original Panorama of Griffith Stadium from Lelands' last Internet Auction. Likely dates to the mid '40s... |

Nice stuff Joe....did you happen to notice the Farnam, NE uniform that sold on ebay last night? Came with quilted pants!!! Our own Bert Wright won it - I layed off it when I saw Bert was bidding on it and I think he got a pretty good deal. |

I sure did notice the Farnam NE uniform. I was an under bidder at $313.33. Luckily someone bid more so I didn't impact Bert. I think he did get a good deal. |

Joe, according to your guide it looks like the tag is from 1936-42. Thanks. |

Hey guys. I will try to remember to post better pics of the Farnam uniform when I get it. It's hard for me to turn down pre 1930s Nebraska or Colorado baseball stuff...especially when it's as unique as that uniform. However, knowing me and my propensity for moving things on to get something else Joe or Dan will probably end up with it eventually. |

More of an off-topic pickup, but also picked up this 1907 Bowling Cabinet photo recently at an estate auction. It is taken in the basement of a popular club in Philadelphia. Pretty neat photo, but bowling ain't my thang, so I put it up on ebay last night. |

Funny there should be a couple of posts about matchcovers. I collected matchcovers of all kinds for many years, eventually amassing half a million of them! Matchcovers, even vintage ones, are fairly cheap, aside from a select rare few. The Diamond Match Co. baseball/football/hoceky issues of the early 1930's are actively collected. Covers with the strikers struck (even lightly) are considered to be that hobby's equivalent of a "PSA 1/SGC 10", although I never minded them as much as other collectors did. Also, covers with the strikers cut off (matchcover lingo ---> "bobtailed") have no collector value. It's actually a pretty fun hobby which reached its peak in the 1940's-50's and has tailed off since then. The largest club, RMS, boasts over 4000 active members, and there are lots of local/specialty groups of enthusiasts. It was a great hobby for me in that I learned a heck of a lot about regionalized business history. Another nice feature is that trading is still emphasized over selling (mostly on a "one-for-one" basis). I lost my interest over ten years ago, but still retain one of the largest collections ever assembled. That being said, anyone out there want 500,000 matchcovers?!?!?! |

Keith... I have always loved that Eagles Pennant. I don't collect very much football, but do have a few of the nicer Pennants, Hartlands and Kail statues of various teams. |
