August Pickups...

Picked up a sweet lot on EBAY that contained 35 autographs of Negro/Latin ball players from the late 40's-early 50's.
The scans are the highlights of the lot which include the one I really wanted most, the Sammy Bankhead. Throw in 2 Brewer's, 2 Trouppe's and the rest and I was real happy with this purchase.

Page from old Red Sox Checkbook. I had picked up unused checks in past from this dealer, which I have sold, decided to grab these stubs only. Just kinda cool IMO, at least till I sell them. haha.

Picked this up at a local sale yesterday, large signed photo of Charles Comiskey. I found this is the same photo as is used on his 1914-1915 Cracker Jack cards. Do you think there is any chance this is the actual one off photo, or could there be many of them? Anyhow, its signed at the bottom either way. And yes, it is up for grabs if interested.

I'm super excited to add these bad-boys to the never ending list of images that will find their way into paintings at some point (though probably not in the near future). The angle is definitely one of my favorites to work with, and I suppose you can't really beat Hubbell as the subject matter!!!
