No kidding! Just when you think all the baseball-related stuff in Nebraska has finally been warehoused in Dan's basement, he finds another cache to add to his hoard

Congrats on a nice pick-up! Out of curiosity, could you show the president's side-stamping on the balls? Are they both Johnson?

Kenny, I've had pretty good luck with just placing magic lantern slides on thick white paper or cardstock and just photographing them with a regular camera. May not always work, but for a "no special equipment" method, it usually gives pretty good results.

If you don't mind. I've been cultivating a growing interest in all things "minor league," balls included, and haven't seen that particular side-stamping before. Feel free to e-mail if you don't want to clog things up here.

Lance, I have about 6 or 7 Giles game balls that all have that same stamping...not sure how many team signed balls I have like that, but it's at least another 5. I also have a bunch of Ford Frick balls with Ed Johnson Western League President stampings...I show a couple of them below.

I picked up this Calamity Jane postcard today. I thought it was awesome.

Here is a better picture of the glass lantern slide I picked up. It is actually baseball sheet music.

For me, they scan better on one side than the other, with white card behind them.
