That may be the highest $ item ever posted by a forum member. Not that that's all that important, but it's good to see posts by guys who actually bid on this highest-end stuff.
G-R-E-A-T item!

Guessing its 1940's or 1950's (not in hand yet) although they had them in the 1930's and 1960's too, but for the 60's the style & wording changed. They actually started in Wrigley in 1928.
Seems to match up pretty well with the ones in the 1938 Homer in the Gloamin' by Gabby Hartnett at Wrigley Field pix and the 1945 World Series with Detroit and the Billy Goat Curse pix. Again, I've seen the "newer" 1960's and 1970's style cap at auction before, but not this older version. Last edited by Shoeless Moe; 03-14-2018 at 01:47 PM. |

So I ordered this a couple days after the Eagles won their first ever Super Bowl. Just arrived. Pretty cool. Exact replica. Size and all.

I picked up this July 14, 1933 SF Seals ticket stub in the recent Mears Auction. This is the game that an 18-year old Joe DiMaggio got a hit in his 50th straight game to break the PCL hit streak record. He would go on to hit in 61 straight games that season. I thought it was a pretty cool Joe DiMaggio related ticket from the hit streak before the hit streak. Seems like it was pretty common for his last name to get misspelled that year. Even the watch the Mayor of SF game him had his name spelled DeMaggio.
From what I could gather this ticket stub was part of a pair of stubs from this game that originated from the DiMaggio family collection and sold by Hunt Auctions in 2006. Another ticket from this game was sold in a separate lot in the same auction and those are the only 3 tix that have surfaced from this particular game.

Not real thrilling, but kind of interesting...
While they both pitched for the Giants, John Montefusco and John D'Aquisto owned a restaurant for a short time. "The Count" was 1975 ROY, threw a no-no in 1976 and hit a HR in his first MLB AB. A'Quisto's claim to fame is that he was the only guy to throw 100mph besides Nolan Ryan, in those days. Both Johns ended up in Federal prison. Montefusco did two years for spousal abuse before he was cleared and D'Aquisto did 5+ years for investment fraud. A'Quisto later earned his PhD and turned his life around. Beside the menu, I have their postcard and a matchcover.

I have been collecting Cincinnati Reds game used bats, uniforms, equipment, awards, contracts etc… of players from the 1961 World Series team for some time. Last year I picked up some tough bats (not a function of price, but availability as most would consider them obscure players). I have also acquired some artifacts from Yankee Stadium from that same time period, as well as Yankee uniform items. It occurred to me that I had yet to add a game used bat for a significant 1961 Yankee…at about that same time, I saw this Maris bat was coming to auction. It killed me to move the items I did (good Brooklyn Dodger and New York Giants stuff is still selling strong), but I am very happy with the decision I made. This bat helps to fill out the context of the 1961 World Series, and the larger 1961 season as well.
