ODDBALL items!

Misc. Minnesota Twins/Vikings buttons. Notice the different photos used for the Harmon 1969 MLB pin. Both of them are difficult to track down but the one still on the card is the most difficult.

Sorry Rob, need some Dodger stuff in this thread. This is something I never show anyone at my house, as they already think my collecting is weird, and this would convince them. It was well established that Koufax had arm issues, and here is a 1964 x-ray of (as Vinny put it) "The Left Arm of God".

Wow.... amazing Twins and Pirates stuff. LOVE the Clemente and Stargell Banks, and everything else, Mike!

And the mega Twins collection is off the charts... Sweeeeeet!

But that Koufax X-ray will be very tough to beat, if we're looking for oddball. How did you even go about acquiring that, Rick??

Mark, I actually bought it, and an xray of Ali's broken jaw from the Norton fight after it had been wired shut, on ebay about 20 years ago. I gave the Ali to a dealer on consignment, not sure where it ended up, and I never got paid for it. I have a wirephoto of Koufax leaving Dr Kerlan's office after an examination a year earlier than the date of the x-ray.
