Way cool finds at the flea market
I had a rare afternoon off today; so I decided to drive down to the local indoor flea market/antique mall. Once, I scored an AWESOME UMaine baseball jersey, so I am always hopeful.
As I was browsing, I came across a box of old photos and RPPCs in the back of one of the booths. I happened to notice a baseball cap in the back, so I picked it up and started looking. And came up with GOLD!!! 1) I think it is a Brooklyn Dodgers player (don't know who?). 2) Same player, but now I believe that is Jackie in the background! 3) West Point RPPC. 4) Some kind of WWII plane. 5) This one looked like nothing, but was in with the WWII plane. Check out the inscription on the back!!! Is that the same Jimmie Doolittle who raided Tokyo?!?!?! 6) Some kind of gunslinger outlaw dude RPPC! I know, not sports, but the planes/outlaw guy just looked cool, so I thought I would share.

Cobb
Congratulations, Bob! That is an outstanding example of “A Fan for a Fan” Cobb. One of the best pieces of ballpark memorabilia in existence, IMO. Add that to your Mathewson Tuxedo box and you’ve had an incredible last few weeks!

Tiger World Series Tickets. The 84 is a full ticket I believe.

Nice pickup!

The Brooklyn Dodgers player front and center in your snapshots is Gil Hodges. Can't say who the background player is. Last edited by spec; 07-15-2019 at 12:54 AM.

Its unusual for me to come across something from the 71 Pirates that I haven't seen before. Thanks to icollectDCsports for contacting me about this item. I appreciate the assist. Although it's not quite as beautiful as Bob's Cobb fan I am thrilled to add this ceramic bank to my collection.

Cobb Fan
Thank yo all for your nice comments.
One thing I have never understood about pieces like the Cobb Fan for A Fan is why these go for so little compared to the T206’s? The Cobb fan is far far rarer than any of the T206 cards? There are probably less than 10 known copies of the Cobb Fan yet it sells for just a fraction comparatively? I know I am biased to the memorabilia but this makes no sense to me personally.

Mike - that thing is so ugly, it’s beautiful
 Bob - totally agree. That’s why I’m happy to be on the memorabilia side!

I think it can simply be explained by the fact that many more people collect cards than Memorabilia. Can’t imagine any other reason than the sheer number of collectors vying for these things. I keep thinking that Memorabilia will soon surpass cards, in terms of value/desirability... but have thought that way for over 20 years. So I’m pretty sure it ain’t happening in our lifetimes. Good thing for us!

Dryden
Slowly migrating into collecting hockey. Very excited to add this one to the collection circa 1975-76 Ken Dryden game used stick. Stick has a blade crack, and a date 5/1/76 notated on the shaft. Potentially the date that the lucky fan recieved this treasure?

When you say there is a date notated on the shaft.... Do you mean its handwritten? Or is it an ink stamp?
