June Pick-ups

[UnVme7]

Got another Rickey Henderson bat from 2001, his road to 3,000 hits. Top one is the newest addition.

Laughing. Nope Lance, it's the never ending quest.

I still need :
5 of the 1957 large sized posters (17.5 X 20)
13 of the player M113s
13 of the team M113s
44 of the player M114s with a non-DC address
10 of the player M114s with a DC address
14 of the team M114s

Those counts of course assume that everything in the catalog actually exists, and don't allow for unlisted ones (of which there are many).

I posted in the BST about my ongoing search, but have had minimal responses :

And, here's number 791...

Doug,
Just curious, how many supplements are in the m113 & m114 collection total?

Wow, what a project!

Good question Scott, I don't know. I think the catalog lists 695 of them. I'm at 791, but I still show myself needing 117.

I'm betting there are close to 1,000 of them.


On a separate subject, but still a June pickup, I received possibly my best ebay score ever in the mail a few minutes ago.

$13.49 for a (well) scored program from Koufax's first no-hitter.

It's great when sellers don't know what they have.

Woohoo!
Doug

Adam that's a very cool photo of Sugar Ray. I have been tempted to venture into boxing photos as there are some a maxing shots from that era. I love the action shots when the flash captures the sweat flying and cigar smoke in the air. Unfortunately I can barely afford my baseball photo habbit

Boxing photos can still be had at a very reasonable price considering the caliber of fighters you can find. I happen to prefer studio portraits and fighter-issued promotional photos. None of these cost me much:
