Here you go Alan. Ebay pickup around 2017-2018. Edges aren't perfectly cut and I've wondered if it would have been a larger sheet at one time all with multiples of this one image with a different sheet with one of the other images?? Not sure how the setup would have looked.

It's a copper "press plate" used to make the middle postcard i posted at the beginning of the thread. Same size as postcard. I'm pretty sure I posted it several years back when I first got it. Just posted this go round to correspond with the postcard I just picked up.

Been awhile since I’ve had a post in pickups…
My collecting focus has shifted from vintage baseball to game used hockey memorabilia…

Wanted to share this one, and I’m open to finding it a new home.

1973-75 Ron Blomberg k75 36” Louisville Slugger

Bat has some ligh grain separation on the reverse. Excellent even patina, and widespread evidence of use with ball, seem, and rack marks.

The bat is also marked with Blomberg’s patented star on the knob (albeit light)

Blomberg became the first DH in baseball, is widely adored in New York sports, and became a member of the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2004.

Here is the same Sliding Scene (Red Sox HOFer, Jimmy Collins) as portrayed on an early teens Trophy. Beautiful graphics on this one, and I really appreciate the Jimmy Collins reference from the previous link.

Wowza, that's amazing!

I absolutely love vintage sports postcards and this one does not disappoint! 1953-59 era, Bert Rechichar, Baltimore Colts postcard. Issued by the Highlander DeSoto car dealership in Baltimore. Postally unused.

Gorgeous trophy Mark!

Michael, the printing plate is awesome! I wonder how the seller got it originally and what happened to the others. Mark, amazing trophy! Is it a Stall and Dean? Cool pickups from everyone this month.
