Magnificent pickup, Scott....

I was watching that beauty the whole way. Congrats!

Maybe it's me, but I think some people have more money than common sense.

$5000 for a 1915 WS Boston Press Pin? This pin sold for a little more than $2000 a couple of years ago (I know, I consigned it).

$6000 for a 1915 Game 3 Boston WS program? This is a fairly common program unless the scoring is making it worth more for some reason.

$80,000 for a 1903 WS program. This one I can almost (??) see because of it's rarity. But the other two?????

Plus the premium?

Yikes. I know I haven't been actively collecting for about a year now (it's gotten out of hand), but holy cow.

P.S. if anyone wants either one of the first two pieces at these prices, let me know...

If anyone wants to buy the real Sox right now, you can probably get them cheaper than these auctions prices. Sorry, in a bad mood since losing three straight to the Orioles. It's not going to be a fun summer...

Hi Greg,

This one also blew me away. This was on my list to compliment a photo I have of this game but it went for triple what I would have paid. I was stunned.

Rob,

Great pickup on the Jack Greney lot. I love that canine mascot.

Despite being blown away on the WS program I did manage to grab a very nice picture lot. From the estate of former Sox player Amos Strunk. Total of 13 photos from Spring training 1919. A nice capture of time from just after a WS win and before the sale of the century.

Nice pickups all. I had seen that Dog lot, cool stuff.

HiNeighbor · #6 05-02-2010, 08:14 PM

Nice pickup Mike. I didn't even see that lot in my search, not that I was looking real hard. The one piece I did like was the Cy Young program. Somebody explain to me why that 1915 program went so high...

Scott - Congrats on your pickup of the signed Johnson photo. I was the under bidder. Should you ever lose interest in it, please give me a shout!

Scott,
Very nice pickup. I also had my eye on that piece but decided I didnt want to become like my good friend Jimmy on companion pieces.

Hi Jimmy That is the same picture used on the 2 johnson pins from the 20s. Good luck with it.

Thanks Al! I have seen the Johnson button on the right, but what info can you supply on your button on the left?

Well Al. It's a good thing for Scott that those pins weren't mine then!

Another terrific addition to your already superb collection Scott!

BTW...Al. Are you taking good care of my Gehrig/Burke photo?

batsballsbases · #12 05-04-2010, 07:10 PM

Scott,
An intresting pin 1 1/4 inch in size. Is listed in both Hakes and Pauls book. Both dont say much about it. Mine has the back paper Pin was made by James Spencer &Co. Philadelphia Probably early 20s. A very nice picture of him.
Jimmy yes the photo is being very well taked care of .

I think it might need a visit from your beautiful autogragh Gehrig piece that you have. Here is a little picture visit via net 54

Thanks Jimmy! I especially like the fact that the photo was signed around the time frame that Johnson threw his last strikeout (he had 3508 K's in his career). This became the strikeout standard that Ryan (and subsequently others) passed en route to his career 5714 K's. I look at this as essentially passing the torch, one generation to another. Walter was the flamethrowing right hander of his era, Nolan ditto during his.
