November Pickups

[Tigerden]

Nate - Very good pick up on the Soria jersey's. It is amazing how many different jerseys some teams have today over the course of the year with third jerseys and Negro League jerseys. I must say you couldn't give those away in my home city of Detroit after his performance in the Playoffs this year!

Finally got around to posting this Cavetown, MD. cabinet card I picked up last month, while visiting the antique stores in Adamstown, PA. I passed on this at first due to price, but couldn't get the sharp image and great contrast out of my mind. I ended up calling the store back a few days later to have it shipped.

Matt, I love to hear people say they are buying a photo because it's a good photograph. This one is definitely deserving of paying a premium.

I’m pretty excited to add this early 70’s original Clemente 8X10 to my collection. It has the photographers stamp on the reverse. It appears to be from the same photo shoot that generated the image used for the Rawlings Advisory Staff Member photo. Prior to this one arriving today I did not have an attractive original photo of him in the uniform of my ’71 Bucs. Every time a nice one comes up for auction I am a chronic under bidder. The eBay scans did not do it justice so I gambled and made an offer. I got it very cheaply

It's pretty rare to see Roberto in uniform without long sleeves.

Mike notice the stripes on the sleeves are reversed. The manufacturer made a mistake on that batch of jerseys. I've seen a couple of these jerseys. Cool photo.

[Tigerden]

Great Clemente pick-up Mike. You should be thrilled to add that to your Bucs collection.

Great Pickup, Mike!

Nice Matt! I don't blame you for going back to it in your mind. Great image.

Ha, no kidding. But I've always been a Royals fan, so it was tough to pass up. He was pretty popular in KC.

But you're right. He didn't do too well when he got traded to Det.
