April pickups

[vintagesportscollector]

Nothing particularly special about this 1919 Cornell-Colgate football photo - but the brutal grimaces on all the faces really drew me in. They look like they have all been thru battle. I don’t think anyone was pulled out of this game for concussion protocol.

I am trying to get one autograph of each japanese HOFer and also have a few plaques. Does anyone know addresses to send players to in Japan? Would love to get more.
Mack is from 1934 Tour of Japan

Hey Michael,

Nice pickups! That Mack was mine. Hope you enjoy it.

If you are looking for some tougher Japanese HOF auto's, drop me a line. I have a bunch of 1931 Tour of Japan signed photos which have a mix of US and Japanese players including some of the earliest and in my understanding, toughest HOFers. (I also have a collection of 20+ 1934 US Tour of Japan photos of just American players, similar to the Mack)

I just picked up this itinerary from LOTG. It's basically 36 pages of "leave here; arrive here; play here." It makes a nice companion piece to my shoulder bag which probably belonged to Bobby Bonds, since it came from the same source as Bobby's suitcase. LOTG had some great Tour of Japan stuff, from manager Clyde King. It all went cheap, IMO. I would have liked to bid on the watch, cufflinks, kimono and pillow but I let a fellow Giants collector go after those....a fellow Giants collector who forgot to bid.

That Kimino is pretty damn cool! I hope it comes around again at some point and you have a chance to get.

I think that is a great photo.
