June Pickups
Wow. A week in and no pickup thread. You guys gotta start spending more!
Love this Rosey Rosewell. Pirates broadcaster from 1936 until his death just before the 1955 season. Tough autograph but on an 8x10? Made out to my name? Had to do it. Tom C Last edited by btcarfagno; 06-07-2017 at 11:11 AM. |

"Toothpick" Sam Jones signed Fan Club membership card
From the newly semi-retired Jim Stinson's last sale list, I just picked up this "Toothpick" Sam Jones vintage signed Fan Club membership card.
Congrats again, Jim! You will be missed. On May 12, 1955 Cubs hurler and ex-negro league player Toothpick Sam became the first African American to pitch a no-hitter in the ML. On September 26, 1959 while pitching for the SF Giants he followed it up with a rain shortened unofficial 7 inning no-hitter against the St. Louis Cards. This fan club membership card is exceedingly rare to begin with, but it also is cool because he was a tough signer and passed away very young (age 45) of cancer. The fact that this card mentions his no-hitters made it a no-brainer pickup for my no-hit collection. COOL FOLLOW UP NOTE: Dwight Chaplin, the original Sam Jones Fan Club membership card owner just reached out to me by e-mail. He is actually one of us on net54 & spotted my post. Small world!

Taz, I am super jealous as I am a big Tigers fan too. I am close, but have accepted the fact that I will never get Thompson or Jennings. I've got everyone else, but I think those two will probably never fit in the budget.

On tigers autos...I haven't gone the uniform route. I have gone the ones recognized by the HOF. But Jennings is impossible. It's super odd, he was a lawyer, you figure there would be a pile of auto's somewhere.
He now is recognized as a Oriole despite the cap by the HOF Last edited by mbrummer710; 06-28-2017 at 04:00 PM. |

Picked this up today. Probably a game used ball from Spring Training. It looks like Casey wrote "Future Sarasota Hit from Casey Stengel" on it.

[QUOTE=tazdmb;1669284]#252 Nothing too special, have been avoiding since the autograph is quite common. I think I now have claim as being the only person to have autographs from all HOFers ever to wear a Detroit Tigers Uniform, which is cool for a Detroit Tigers collector.
Taz, does that mean you have a Sam Thompson autograph too ? I would assume that his 1906 appearance in a game in a Detroit uniform would constitute his being among the Detroit Tigers (as well as ex-Wolverine). I purchased one years ago (plus Dan Brouthers) in a 1990's mail bid auction, only to find out later both were forgeries. Early, painful lessons learned. |

This is a pickup in the sense that I finally got around to building it after buying the cut in February.
Just hope to find a way to keep it. A non-sport white whale showed up recently. May be forced to sell this to pay the whale off. |
