That Johnson piece is AMAZING!

And, I love those lineup cards. Very cool!

There's some great pickups in this thread.

I was pleased to win an auction for these 3 beauties yesterday.

Thanks! Been collecting lineup cards for years, but this was my most significant purchase. I have some more recent World Series lineup cards, but never had one from before the 70's, and never had a lineup card with Gehrig on it.

I really dont know what this is aside from the mirror on the obverse and possibly a paper weight. Merlaco is a Philippine electric company but when I originally saw it, I assumed it was a Cuban Piece. Its large and heavy. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

Bob,
Just a little help here it is listed in Paul's Book under Z98 and he says Z98 is attributed to a company sponsored baseball team in Mexico.....

Thank you Al

I'm a Giants collector who doesn't mind ruining the value of something to make it a "Giants piece." Here's an example of the Blatz Braves display, after "customization."

That uncut sheet is awesome.

Almost embarrassed by how excited I am to have finally landed a pair of 1971 Pirates at San Diego stubs. These were ridiculously tough to find.! They are rivaled only by 1971 Pirates at Montreal and Houston. I missed out on a pair from the same seller that sold for $103.00 two weeks ago. I'm driven to collect these but not that crazy! I now have slightly more than half of all the 1971 Pirates home and away ticket stubs. Its taken 4 years to get here. I doubt I will ever complete the goal but it's been both maddening and fun searching for them.

Great Job Mike! I imagine it was very hard, and I can't imagine only 10,342 in attendance for a doubleheader. I'm guessing you're not holding out too much hope for the July 24th game that had only 3,114.
