Heckuva deal!

Why are there 3 October pickup threads?

1939 type 1 of Lou sitting on the steps of the dugout. Dated June 22nd 1939. I got it in a trade with another board member(Thanks Mark). It's not the greatest condition, but a very nice image nonetheless.

This just arrived. The girlfriend is going to love coming home to me watching the playoffs from behind a real home plate

What she's really going to love is you digging a pentagonal hole in the living room floor.

Greg - when she got home and saw it...she loved it! She wants it to either stay on the coffee table, or to display it somewhere in the living room

Mark - that is, obviously, another great Gehrig image. Congratulations on the pick up. I'm not finding a 'Lou Gehrig Photo' section in the link area you have - if there isn't one there should be

[Lordstan]

Scott,
Thanks.
Here is the section where the Gehrig photos reside.

BTW, I had no idea home plate was that big. Pretty cool item.

Thanks Mark. Yeah, my only experience with home plates was installing them in softball fields, and they weren't this big. The box was huge and heavy as hell - the weight comes from an extra 2 inches below the dirt line, honeycomb filled with heavy chunks of dirt.

I highly recommend these - one of the coolest things I've ever picked up. Wish I had one from the Astrodome.

Thanks Steve. I'm pretty happy with it.

Wonderful style that I have been looking for for some time. Manufactured by P. Goldsmith & Sons; Cincinnati, Ohio. The embroidered design on each sleeve is the same design found on the left breast of the "Palm Beach" uniforms also produced by Goldsmith for the 1936 Reds.

Quality of the photograph of the jacket does not do it justice...

I have never seen that before, but I like how all the players names are just a little off or letters jumbled than their real contemporaries. Very nice
