Thanks. I wish I could have afforded more of them, but several that I was interested in went much higher than expected.

Default Fan for a Fan
Picked this up and now only need the Cobb to complete my set (not counting the Baker as only one is known).

Jeff, the Wood photo is remarkable! I love the look on his face and is one of my favorite photos. Congrats.

Scott, I had a feeling you would be after those. Nice pickups

Agreed! A special photo. And that fan is great too. Some great pickups this month.

Thanks - good luck with the search for Cobb.

Default PCL Railway passes
Thought these were cool, given my interest in California baseball and my son's interest in trains. They are very colorful and will display well. I'd never seen them before.

Default Peaches
Lucky enough to add this carved mini bat to my Rockford Peaches collection. The bat looks to be made in 1945 by Helen Filarski who played for Rockford tin 45 and 46. She made it for her sister Grace.

Picked up this image of the 1905 Harvard team, featuring William Clarence Matthews, in Leland’s. I’ve been looking for an image of Matthews for about five years to fill I hole in a collection of images related to baseball’s color line.

Matthews went on to play for an integrated team in Vermont before leaving baseball. Boston’s Traveler newspaper wrote at the time:

“Because his skin is black he can never play on any but itinerant colored nines that at best eke out a hand to mouth existence.

With all its insurmountable handicaps, baseball is not the place for Matthews.

He should begin the battle for life somewhere else.”

And so he did.

Wow congrats on the important acquisition! Have you passed on others due to high prices or are images of him just so tough to find?


Scott - wow. A really special piece. Enjoy it.

Very powerful words expressing the prevailing attitudes of another time.
Your post piqued my interest. I have access to a website which offers scans of old high school and college yearbooks. Unfortunately there are usually a lot of years missing. Best I could do for Matthews was a citation for lettering in baseball in 1903 which indicated he was in the class of 1905. As it happens the 1905 yearbook, which presumably would have his graduation photo, was not available. I did see a few 1905 Harvard scorecards on eBay that listed Mathews on the roster.

ETA: Upon further perusing I stumbled across a photo of "The Varsity Nine" in the 1903 yearbook.
