September Pick Up Thread
Five days into the month and no pickup thread yet? I guess I'll start one.
I picked up this Winter 1947 Puerto Rican Winter League scorebook to add to my collection. Several negro league players are spread around throughout the scorebook. This was on the eve of Robinson breaking the barrier just a few months later. There were six teams in the league: Caguas-Guayama, Ponce, Mayaguez, Aquadilla, San Juan and Santurce. This scorebook was the official team scorebook of Caguas-Guayama. They would go on to play in the championship playoff against Ponce to end the season. They also played a game against the Yankees. Some of the recognizable names include: Willard Brown (won triple crown), Dan Bankhead, Buster Clarkson, Monty Irvin, Larry Doby (Dobby in the scorebook), Alomar (Sandy Sr's dad), Hairston, Pedro Cepeda (Orlano's dad), Colmbre and others.

I love this Wright & Ditson baseball, both for its graphics and for its place in the story of “the evolution of the baseball,” which has been a key theme of my collecting for 25 years.
Some background: In 1884, George Wright, former star of the Cincinnati Red Stockings, became an owner of the Boston franchise of the Union Association of Base Ball Clubs, a rival major league that named Wright & Ditson as the exclusive supplier of its official ball. When the Union Association folded after its inaugural season, so did Wright & Ditson's standing as a supplier of major league baseballs. The company was acquired some time prior to 1892 by Spalding, which continued to make baseballs using the Wright & Ditson name. On a separate note, if you have a nice example of a Heydler ball from 1931-1933, please let me know. |

Slide Kelley Slide Shoe Polish Box and Tins
The box is in sad condition however, I have seven of the tins (1 black and 6 white). If anyone has a tin (black or white), please let me know, I would love to have the full box.
The Larry Doyle "A Fan for a Fan" will go nicely with my Christy Mathewson and Hal Chase, now I need only the Cobb - sigh... Last edited by bobfreedman; 09-13-2018 at 09:06 PM. |

Maybe my new favorite photo in my collection. 1910-ish relaxed photo of T206 players Billy Sullivan and Boss Schmidt. I wish I could enlarge it; it's almost like a work of art. The detail is unreal!

This photo can be enlarged. If you have it scanned at a very high resolution (1200 dpi or more) a good quality enlargement can be made. I also know a company that can turn a scan into a silver halide print of any size. They are pricey, but their work is excellent.

Awesome sign. I also picked up the 1960 version of the pack unopened still in cellophane. Going to frame the packs together like I did with these packs.
