New FB Acquisitions

Larry,
I see you've knocked down another '52 Bowman large and a RC/SP to boot (Matson). Awesome!

Been a busy week for local sports history. Bought this collection of high school and college sports ephemera on a whim, not realizing how HUGE the collection was.

It seems to be the meticulous scrapbooking of a single CWU student named Marguerite Carpenter. A sports nut there are hundreds of newspaper articles on football, mens and womens basketball, baseball, and track events from Central Washington University and Yakima High School 1924-32. These articles were cut from the Student newspaper, which is nearly impossible to find (maybe 10 in CWU archives from 1924-31 to compare them).

Some of the more interesting items were the wood bound Yakima High School football scrapbook (this item seems to be ca. 1950?), and Yakima HS Letter with a 1934 tie tack attached. The womens basketball team is from 1932, coached by Miss Carpenter (pictured). A ca. 1930 WSNS pennant, the earliest in my collection now. Football, basketball, and baseball complete rosters with scores in the sports and activities pages of this scrapbook, just a great resource..... unfortunately no football programs.

Way too much to list, but an awesome addition to the local sports history collection. Probably a small amount of organizing then off to the Kittitas County Museum for these pieces, thank you bruinsfan....

Sorry Larry,
Got collections mixed up. brafcauknid, nice pickups!

Ty, quite a collection of local memorabilia. Do you collect local sports because you're a lifer from that area?

Thanks Scott, A CWU alum, but not a lifer (just 20 years in the Valley). I'm a volunteer researcher for the Kittitas County Museum, Historical Society, and CWU Alumni Association. A lot of time is spent digging through microfiche, finding and interviewing former student athletes for those groups. The collection is a by-product of that, but leads in a lot of interesting directions...

Probably not entirely a "FB Acquisition", but I've always found football to be more associated with the college experience. I'll resume with strictly pro football pick-ups soon, as Sterling just ended and I probably have a new 1962 Post Football habit....

1966 Philadelphia Chuck Howley RC arrived today via eBay purchase. Just one more card to complete my 64 65 66 and 67 Philadelphia football sets, and it's also a '66 (Dick Butkus RC).
The Chuck Howley RC is very popular and it took me awhile to find one in my price range. After reading up about him I can see why, He was a great player!

eBay win arrives today 1967 Philadelphia. Only his '66 Philadelphia RC stands between me and my 64 65 66 67 Philly set run

Great Hannah card! Love the image, looks like he's got bad intentions.

Upgraded my beater '59 Brown with this example, very pleased....



.... and a guilty pleasure, local sports history, 1992 & 1995 CWU Media Guides (Jon Kitna's freshman and senior year, 1995 NAIA National Champions). A special thank you for the heads up on the 1992 media guide to Hot Springs Bather (Mike) :

There were two shows in Dallas that day and at the first show (which is a twice-a-year show) I picked up these pieces, along with a vintage hockey card. If you're interested to see the hockey one, or read the blog post, you can click here. It's hockey, so I didn't want to post it on this thread.

Kin: I enjoyed looking at your blog! Keep having fun with your cards!
Todays mail brought two hits 1952 Bowman SMALL:


Herman Clark played for the Bears in 1952 and also 1954-57 and couldn't find out much about him except he died in 1989.
Ollie Matson "books" for $200 in NM. 1952 co-rookie of the year also won Bronze (400 M run) and Silver (400 M relay team) Medals in the Olympics that year. Pro football HOF 1972. In his later years Matson suffered from dementia and died in 2011. According to his nephew, Matson hadn't spoken in the four years prior to his passing.

That's a sweet Grange item - it would be interesting to have a check list of all the promotional products Grange was involved with.
