Went for the Cobb signed copy of Busting 'Em but couldn't pull the trigger

Wonderful pickup Keith...

I was really admiring that Eagles helmet. Such a classic era for Helmets... before they got too "busy". I know the Eagles have had numerous similar styles through the years, but that one is the best, hands-down... Congrats!

I was following the Georgia Tech - Cumberland Ball from the 1916 222-0 game, hoping that it would stay under the GT Athletic Association's budget. With the total price eclipsing $40K, the Athletic Director mentioned it was too rich for their blood. Maybe someone will want to loan/display it there or the new College Football Hall of Fame which opened up down the street.

I picked up Bill Rigney's 1947 New York Giants home run ring. This is the perfect complement to my 1956 Smoky Burgess Cincinnati Redlegs ring. Although both clubs provided these rings to players and team personnel, the New York Giants only had only had 16 players who actually hit home runs in 1947. The 1956 Redlegs only had 14 contributing players. Both Rigney (17 HRs) and Burgess (12 HRs) were among this small group of players who actually contributed to their team's total.

I would be curious if anyone knows of any public or private collections that feature examples of both rings. I know that the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum at Cooperstown is lacking a Reds ring.

For those of you who love trivia, Larry Jansen was the only player to have been awarded a ring by each of these clubs.

Congratulations Dave. I was looking at both this ring, and the PCL championship ring. Great stuff of all types in this auction.
