A big thank you to Dave T. for these beauties!

These are season passes to St. Paul Saints games for the 1922, 1923, and 1924 seasons (they won the Junior World Series in '24). It also looks like these belonged to Lute Boone's wife. He was the Saints shortstop for 7 seasons. He also played for the Yankees from 1913-1916.

Ben, just noticed your Jackie Robinson letter - that is spectacular.

This one arrived in the mail today. I picked it up on eBay from one of the sellers linked to the John Rogers archives. I was surprised to see that a few of the photos, including this one, had been slabbed by PSA. I wonder if they are testing the waters and will do this more often. I can't imagine that they would as it would seem to be cost prohibitive in large volumes. The PSA encapsulation certainly didn't result in a price increase in the photo I purchased.

Picked up this great Bain photo of "Death Valley" Jim Scott. The stamp on the back is dated April 16, 1914. I'm pretty sure this photo was taken 2 days earlier on April 14, 1914 when Scott opened the Chicago White Sox's 1914 season by beating Willie Mitchell and the Cleveland Indians.

Packs,
That's really a dandy photo of Death Valley Jim!

You probably knew that he took a no-hitter into the 10th inning before surrendering a hit? Scott ended up actually losing to the Washington Senators 1-0 on May 14, 1914.
Here is Scott's super elusive sig that I finally found in 2012.

Very cool! I always loved Jim because of his Cracker Jack card. You know the White Sox really stunk when a guy goes 20 - 21 with a 1.90 ERA.

Nice sig!

Thanks! Ain't that the truth?
