Great shape too

Acquired a nice 1963/64 San Juan Senadores (27) signed team ball.
They won the Puerto Rico Winter League championship playoffs that season.
Only one HOFer - but one of the best (last pic).

I recently picked up these 2 original lineup cards to the major league debut game of 1953 no-hit pitcher BoBo Holloman and Don Larsen, who hurled the only World Series perfect game in 1956. These came by way of net54 good guy David Linardy. Thanks David!

These lineup cards are from game one of the doubleheader played on April 18, 1953 @ DET. Interestingly enough, the same game also featured relief appearances from Virgil Trucks (2 no-hitters in 1952) and HOF'er Satchel Paige who is credited with approximately 55 no-hitters in his career. All 4 of these no-hit pitchers appeared in this game for the St. Louis Browns (last year in St. Louis).

To compliment these lineup cards I have 1953 signed team postcards of both Larsen and Bobo Holloman. Ironically, Holloman was sold to Toronto less than 3 months after his no-hitter, never to return to the big leagues again. The back of Holloman's postcard has interesting content thanking the fan for asking about his no-hitter and he mentions the sale to Toronto.

Nice - is that Mathewson glove a replacement for the other one you had? Actually, I thought you had owned two before this one. Are you a hoarder?

1st 2015 purchase.

Just BIN'd this from a forum member, via ebay, for my girlfriend who graduated from Stanford. I had to find pics of football players with these wrapped around them, to show her how much SHE had to have it

She is very excited...which is good for me

Scott, I am a bit of a hoarder

This one came up and I just couldn't turn it down, but I did sell one before Christmas.
