June 2011 pick up thread

[Scott Garner]

Nice pickup tonite- Unusual Bob Feller pinback button. Approx. 7/8" in diameter

Picked up this really odd piece. Going to be for sale at some point, but for now, here it is. Has list of players in various AAA down to A ball, and even umpires, of guys who were on this reserve list for the season. Im guessing these were made for MLB Team uses. Pretty weird. A scan saw Yaz and Marichal amongst the reserved players, and others retired, in military and all. Strange. Anyone else have any info on this?

Not baseball, but picked up this interesting taylor's display trunk with a fantastic early hockey scene on the inside of the lid. It measures 27" long, 10" wide and 7" deep.

Passed up on this, too much bling for me. Nice piece though, about 3'x3'.

Do you have an auction link for that? On my first impression, the item looks modern (Sleeman does feature old baseball images on its web site)

I saw this piece at the Aberfoyle Antique Market near Guelph, Ontario. It was being sold by a vendor who said he bought it at an auction in Guelph a few years ago. The market runs on Sundays only every week.
Any other questions feel free to ask. Dan

My nephew came up from Las Vegas and presented me with this item yesterday. Ironically I had been considering purchasing one on ebay but couldn't convince my wife how badly I needed it. It was pleasant surprise from a great kid who never ceases to impress me. Thanks Tone!

made these for Baseball, Football and Hockey. Baseball goes for the most at about $250 to 300

Thanks, Jim. Based on that info, I got a great deal on this one.

Dan- Those Lincoln items are just fantastic! I look for Hot Springs Bathers programs everyday and find one every 3-4 years!

I do find quite a few baseball items from the Spring Training days here in Hot Springs but the 1939-41 and 1948-55 Bathers programs are much tougher to find!

Congratulations!!!!

Thanks Mike...Someone out there has a stash of them...80% of my programs have come from only three sources..Two were men who attended games, and the other guy sent requests to nearly every minor league club in the country for programs and amassed a huge collection.
