I just picked this one up, and will hopefully make into a painting one day. I seem to really be digging the idea of the team portraits, and since this one is rather rare, I couldn't pass it up.

Here are the 1905 Philadelphia Athletics during the World Series at the Polo Grounds:



I love seeing Waddell in there - the man looks insane. And really, these guys were friggin' ballplayers. Sweetness, indeed

I agree Graig. Now that is going to make a terrific painting!

One last piece from the Bill Mastro auction...

Nice bank Jimmy! The condition is super!!
Even though this Jackie Robinson version certainly predates me, I recall owning a bank with similar features in the early-mid 1960's as a kid. It brought back some neat memories.... Congrats!

Jimmy --

Great pickup on the Jackie bank! I've always thought it has to be one of the best looking display pieces out there.
I've had mine for probably about forty years -- it's one of the first pieces of baseball memorabilia my parents ever bought for me at an antique shop when I was just a kid.
Enjoy!

I know this is newer, but couldn't find a good category for a memorabilia "modern" pickup, so please forgive me. haha.

Anyways, really cool Jeff Bagwell minor league pay check w AA New Britain Red Sox. W the HOF a VERY likely destination, maybe in January, a GREAT item. I may be open to selling, but for now, here ya go.

The second plate for my wall this month. Many thanks to my good freind Mark Steinberg for this outstanding piece. There is a great deal of satisfaction associated with trading with another collector
