May Pickups

[ooo-ribay]

Some new pickups for my low end Giants collection...

First a Mays Hartland. You would have thought I had one of these but I did not. I just recently started looking and found this pristine example at a great price.

Next, a 1958 Hank Sauer Packard Bell card/schedule. They also did a Mays, Antonelli and Rigney. I got the Sauer cheap. The Mays commands big bucks. Thanks for the tips on cracking Hank out of his slab.

Finally, you can never have too much kitsch. The one on the left is new. Looks like they did a fielder's glove, a first baseman's glove and a catcher's mitt.

My game used jersey collection is starting to grow.

Happy to add these two umpire jerseys to my closet.
I think they were worn by Joe West maybe???

April 25th, 1954 Braves vs Cardinals. Rookie Hank Aaron hits his 2nd career home run in this game. He goes 5 for 6 which is his first 5 hit game. Teammate Eddie Mathews also goes yard making this the first game (of 75) that the two would do this. Thats the highest in MLB. (He hit his first HR two days earlier here) this is the earliest Aaron HR I have seen.

Happy to add this 1949 Sun Picture Camera Photo set #1 to my Cleveland Baseball Type collection. The set is complete with negatives of Lou Boudreau, Allie Clark, Steve Gromek, and Mickey Vernon. Also has 8 unused photo paper "cards" but I doubt they would still work after all this time.

The 1949 Sun Camera Picture set is just Cleveland Indians. There’s a similar issue from the 1930s that covered all major league teams I believe. I don’t think they’re related but they used a similar technique with negatives and light sensitive photo paper
