Here's what's on the easel tonight!

Both of these are 9" x 12", unfinished, and as usual, poorly photographed. I still have some stuff to work out on the Foxx, as he just doesn't look right to me (if anyone notices something glaring, please say something!). DiMaggio is still in the beginning stages, though I'm very happy with the results thus far. Even though he looks really dorky in this shot (but, ya gotta love that old Seals uniform!!).

And, if any of you don't want me to post this stuff since it's not actually in the memorabilia category, or is flat out boring, just let me know. I don't want to waste any bandwidth or step on toes!

Absolutely sensational find on that newspaper-supplement game, Joe! For the baseball game specialists (all half dozen of us, worldwide?), that's as exciting a find as the discovery of a previously unknown pre-WWI card is for the legions of card guys. It's an entirely new discovery, a heretofore uncatalogued game, the only existing example of which we're aware.

We're triply envious in that we overlooked that auction ourselves, and in that our search for the Buffalo News edition of the 1896 newspaper baseball game supplement, Will Our Boys Win, has dead-ended even right here in Buffalo. If anyone on board here has anything additional on either Joseph's Detroit News-Tribune game, or on the Buffalo edition of the 1896 game (well documented in Boston, New York, and St Louis editions), we'd appreciate hearing about it...
