Didn’t Peter Nash own this bar? He’s been pretty quiet the last couple of years.

Yes, he was involved.

From his site: In 2008, Nash re-opened Nuf Ced McGreevy’s 3rd Base Saloon at 911 Boylston St. in Boston, MA.

I purchased 5 lots. Mostly because I thought the display value was great. Total cost was under $200. I pick them up later today and will post pics. I figured the boston public library and Peter nash would do a good job on the copies I liked that the backs all had a file number from the sale. But definitely gonna keep a copy of these items in a file as I traverse flea markets here in NJ. Teaser first lot I got was a large photo of a few 1895 Baltimore players. Given the size and quality of pic ( not in hand yet) I didn't think I could go wrong at $15.. I did think the repro carl Horner teams sold for alot less than it would cost to get a similar copy. And they have to look great on a wall.

All of the items look better in hand than in pictures. The 1891 team is almost 3 feet tall. The smallest is Kelly at about 11x14. The Baltimore photo is a very nice print of the photo. About 24x27 plus frame. I will most likely reframe and put on walls.

Last display item. This Kelly picture, the frame is broken but image is as you can see very nice. Size is about 11x14. I also picked up 2 Boston Braves Mini bats that were listed as vintage but were clearly newer than 1952. But for $5 each I am happy with them.

cool! I wonder if there is a place that sells these old style frames? or did someone just find all these over the years?

It is my understanding that the Boston public library and Renowned (replicator)Peter nash put these together as exact copies of the items. I cannot imagine the time and cost..

You can insert any number of words to describe the talents of Mr. Nash..
