I had a wonderful time at the National with all the usual suspects. Spirits were high and I enjoyed spending most of my time with Mark Steinberg (perezfan), Ryan Sims, and Carlton of course. I was really hoping to add a few Cubs and Tigers pinbacks, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. There were a lot of pins, pennants, and equipment, but not much in the way of figurals (bobble heads excluded). Here are my pickups.
It was a pretty good show for pennants. I was looking for a DiMaggio and Ryan found this honey for me on day one. It is in terrific condition with a couple tack holes, but a nice tip and tone.  The next pennant is a design I have seen before, but never with a the little flag near the tip reading 1948. The condition is NrMint.  This is my pickup of the show. Any time you can add a pennant that Mark Steinberg and Dave Bushing have never seen before, you know you have something special. The purple felt on this honey is super heavy and soft and the image of the Tiger is fantastic. Probably late 40s early 50s and in outstanding condition...I love it!!!   We had a great time visiting the fantastic offerings of the three Bills at the National. They never fail to bring great items, fair pricing, and wonderful conversation. These are the experiences that make this hobby great. I added two Victors this year...one horizontal (very rare) and a vertical.   My last pickup of the show was a piece I have seen and loved, but never purchased. When I saw the magnificent NrMt condition of this Al Simmons cigar box I couldn't resist. The images are perfect, the hinge is undamaged, and the price was right on.

I'll post photos of my pickups when I have more time...
Barry Larkin and Jim Maloney Game-used Caps Killer 1940s Silver Reds Pitcher 1940s Reds Burger Beer Ad Sign Early '60s SD Padres Team Photo Insert with early photo of Perez and other future Reds (thanks Chris!) 1961 Reds Pocket Scedule on Die-cut Hudepohl Beer Can 1930s Reds Pennant (MINT) 1940s Tigers Banner (MINT) Turn of the Century Lemon-Handled Bat (with many thanks to the Bills for their generosity!) 1940s Game Used White Sox Cap of Floyd Baker- Beauty First and foremost wanted to say that the best part of the National was meeting with fellow collectors... many for the first time, including Chris G, Scott G, Tony C, and Greg L. It was also great to have a night out with Chicago's version of "The Wolfpack"... Mike, Ryan, and Carlton (although no Vegas, and no Hangover). It took some GPS-ing, bickering and U-turns, but we stumbled onto a great Italian hole-in-the-wall. I would grade this National about a "5" in terms of its memorabilia content, but a "10" for the enjoyment factor and camaraderie.

Scott:
Great Vandy Pennant, and same for the other incredible piece you showed me (which almost made me miss my flight- but worth it!) Chris: Awesome Crosley Sign... Where did you find that one? Also, please be sure to post a photo of the Reds Pennant, after you unveil it without the picture. That's an insanely rare one underneath, and a great find. Sweet pickups! Mike: Nice going... now Mike E. needs to release a "Volume 3" of his Pennant Guide. I bet he's equally thrilled about your amazing find!

Mike - Love, love, LOVE the Simmons box. Crazy beautiful condition. Congrats!
It's on my wantlist. Someday. Hopefully, I can snare one with that eye-appeal. Wow! My first missed National in 5-years. I've had the shakes all weekend. Thanks for posting your pics, Gents. Last edited by CobbvLajoie1910; 08-04-2013 at 06:57 AM.

A very simple answer to that is I had the text taken off my phone so no more texting! If you want me you must call me and talk to me like old times!! Ah great to be textless!!!

Most fun $15 purchase at the National in Chicago
Nice pickups everyone! Lots of terrific rarities...
I thought it might be fun to post by favorite inexpensive purchase at The National. Flipping through a binder (within the last 15 minutes on the convention floor), I found this cool 1910 Base Ball mini-scrapbook for $15. The hobbyist meticulously glued every box score plus many photos of the 1910 base ball season from April through the end of May in this hard bound book. All 1910 opening day games pitched by the likes of Matty, 3 Finger Brown, Deacon Phillipe, Cy Young and Chief Bender were in there. Of note, the 1st game ever at the new ball park in Cleveland (League Park), including a nice write up, was present. Both of the no-hitters from the 1910 season (Addie Joss and Chief Bender) both made it into the scrapbook as well. In between some of the pages were perhaps 20-30 period magazine photo clippings of many stars of the era including Cy Young, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Tinker and Evers, etc., etc. I carefully looked through the scrapbook on my flight home. Very cool! Last edited by Scott Garner; 08-05-2013 at 04:20 AM.

I don't really have any pick-ups from Chicago - save a common, raw T206 for business card purposes - but I just wanted to mention that it was GREAT meeting and hanging out with some of you fellas. People like Brock, Rhys, Rhett, Scott F, Scott G, David McD, Brian MacD, Andrew W, Rob K, Brandon (and Jadyn), Paul R, Jeff R, Jon F, Leon, Lymon, Chris, Ryan, Al and the like really made this trip what it always ends up being: my absolute favorite weekend of the year.
And of course, Ben and Phil, my wonderful and awful roommates - y'all kill me. The dinner, as per usual, was wonderful. A big thanks to Leon for putting it on and dealing with all of the drunkenness. Thank the lord I got my chicken fingers. I'll be looking forward to next year in Cleveland. Maybe I can even convince Dean to set up a friggin' booth for once! Graig

Ben,
A lot was the wrong term, I should have said that it was not uncommon for a photographer to not put his stamp on the back of his photos. I have been researching my cousin's Ruth collection, and I have found 8 to 10 press photos, without photographer stamps, but matched negatives that are in the VanOeyen collection in the Western Reserve Historical Society. The only stamp on the back is Cleveland Press with date. No article, but I have found success locating newspaper articles, which include the photos. Bob, Great photos, that Buck Weaver is special, along with that close up on Gehrig.

Nice stuff everyone. Wish I could've been there.
Geez Ben. Too bad you didn't really have a lot of success this year.  Wow.

Ben - the two photos you picked up are amazing. I came home with only two very inexpensive pennants for tacking on the man-cave wall. Mark and Scott - I'm very sorry we didn't run into each other. Possibly we did and I was too hungover or malnourished to remember?
