My newest pick-up! I probably paid too much, but I like it!

A couple new ring bats. They were really December pick ups. Its the earliest Reach bat I've ever encountered. It predates the Keystone Logo.

If you like it Travis, then you didn't pay too much.

HOF auto collection is getting better

Picked up these as part of a lot of Christy Walsh postcards. I think they are pretty cool.

Those are awesome autographed items.

A HUGE "Thank You" goes out to Jay Wolt of Quality Cards for making this terrific Bill Dickey/Christy Walsh All American piece available to me. An absolute flawless transaction with this top-notch seller. Jay is one of the best the hobby has to offer.

Thanks again Jay and my very best regards, Jimmy

Busy day at the estate auction game, as My dad and I picked up a decent group of pennants, and a few early football and baseball relics. In the group was a red and blue stitch baseball and a smaller sized red stitched baseball. The smaller one is probably just about a 1/2 inch less in diameter than the other ball. Has anyone seen a smaller ball like this one? Did they make smaller sized balls for kids in the 1910 to 1920 time period? I know newer little league balls are the same size as regular balls, and it doesn't make sense to make them smaller for kids as they'd be harder to hit anyway. Could this be an earlier 19th century example? Any advice would be appreciated. The football pieces included a Wright and Ditson dog ear, reach shoulder pads, and an unmarked football.
Nice helmet by the way Kevin, any makers mark visible?

Hi Keith, Quite the estate auction. That is a great Reds pennant. I have not see that one before, perhaps Mark has. A real tough one. Mike

I do indeed have that Reds Pennant. It's a toughie, but not impossible to find if you are very patient. Definitely a great haul Keith... that group of pennants alone is worth well over $600. Nice pickups by everyone!
