I guess I'll start it out....

This should be arriving soon (from the estate of Johnny Ramone!)

Congrats Mark! Looks like we both scored. I picked this up from the same auction.

Congrats Chris and Mark

and thanks for the fast start to the month

Those are two great looking pieces and both make a statement

Another Saints bat. This one is a beater, but I haven't seen another Alex Gaston before.

Nice Bat! Mine just came in the mail yesterday...an Eddie Ainsmith 1910-1915 gamer with a letter from Taube to boot. Besides collection vintage game bats, the tie to this player is that in 1947 he was the manager of the Rockford Peaches which I also collect. A great vault bat and I love the 100 plus bat nails on the backside.

I lost track of the month and posted this in August pickups. I'll post it here, because it's very possible this will be my "haul" for the entire month.

Not sure if this link will work but I picked up my first photo. From the 1937 All Star game. Was able to pick up a psa ticket from the game as well and plan on framing them together. Thanks to Snapolit for finding recommending this one - I’ve been stalking a photo for a while.

Beeutiful bat. I suppose that the Ainsmith name on the knob means that this was the bat that became his signature model. What does the letter say?

Awesome Chris!

That one landed in the right place for sure. What a dynamic Reds display piece... never seen another one of those. Great pickup!

Great stuff! So much better than cards!

Actually an August pick up. Leather wrapped handle bat 34", circa 1860s/1870s. Barrel has "TECH" impressed on it. Remarkable, uncracked condition. Thanks to a board member for making it available to me.

[perezfan]

Wow Gary! Those early leather-wrapped handle bats are rarer than hens' teeth. What a score.... and in beautiful condition, no less. Just fantastic!

[eastonfalcon19]

Those bats are just amazing!

Probably belongs here in another thread, but here are two more examples of this sort of bat...

Enjoy yours in good health, Gary!

And, like Gary, I've been late to post as well...I'll be adding some new pick-ups here in a bit even though a couple of them were late August acquisitions.

Cheers,
Jonathan
