August pickups

This is a wire photo of Babe Ruth playing a benefit game with the St. Paul and Minneapolis police right after he retired in 1935. He played half the game with each team.

Newest pickup, 1977 Jersey City Indians program. I wish the autographs weren't on it.

Picked up a Ted Williams artist proof print 12/15 entitled "Hitter Number 9" by artist Mike Ross.....anyone know anything about this artist?

I picked up this Rawlings Advisory Staff photo of Reggie in the most recent Clean Sweep auction. The auto is an early version. I had not seen this one before. I thought it paired well my Jackson game used bat. I don't often venture away from my focus on the 1971 Pirates however when I do it seems Reggie is involved.

A far cry from some of the stunning National pickups posted here, but these are some of the finds from my week of estate sales and flea markets. The panorama is a 1920 Saratoga Race Course. I picked up the 1960s drink cart to display baseball glasses.

Congrats on your pickups this month guys! Some really great ones.

I managed to scratch off another very difficult ticket that I have had on my want list forever:

Montreal Expos pitcher David Palmer hurled a 5 inning abbreviated Perfect Game in the second game of a DH on April 21, 1984 @ ST. LOUIS.
This is only the 1st ticket to Palmer's gem that I have ever seen. It came from a huge ST.L. ticket collection that was acquired at The National by a dealer friend of mine.
I'm really happy to own it, and the fact that it is a full ticket is a bonus.
David Palmer's Perfect Game was recognized as such until 1991 when MLB changed the rules about what defined a "Perfect Game"

I also added this beautiful Season Super Suite ticket to HOF pitcher Jack Morris's
no-hitter against the hometown White Sox on April 7, 1984.

I now need tickets to only 13 more no-hitter games dating back to 1930...


BTW, out of this ST.L ticket collection that I mentioned previously, I also picked up tickets to two new Nolan Ryan pitching appearances.
I now need only 43 ticket dates to have a ticket to every one of Nolan's 807 career regular season games.


Christmas arrived early in August!

I believe I have the program to this game. I always liked that photo. I have a scan of it somewhere.
