July 2011 pickup thread

[Lordstan]

The two photos I picked up in the Yee auction came in. Very nice.

The first is Gehrig arguing with the ump from 1938 WS.
It looks even better in person. Very large 8 1/4 x 10 size, but it still appears like it was cut a little.



Second is 1936 Gehrig and Ott before WS.
It came slabbed. I was surprised as the slab is actually pretty nice. Thin yet sturdy. Now, I wouldn't spend money to send any of my others in to be slabbed, but I don't think I'm going to break any I happen to buy slabbed out either.

I'm not quite sure what's going on the last three months, but it's been raining Lincoln minor league baseball memorabilia...anyway today I was at an estate auction and picked up 10 (TEN!!) programs from 1947-49 including the program (scored) from the very first Lincoln Athletics Game...along with that I picked up a ticket from the very first game, a 1947 schedule card and two Child's grandstand tickets from 1947....three of the programs I picked up today are from 1948 and have Nellie Fox in the lineups.

Congrats Dan- you are definately on a roll!!

Thanks guys. I'm really fond of that first game ticket stub...someone in here a year or so back posted a similar ticket from the opening game of another of Connie Mack's minor league clubs so I always suspected that a stub like that existed for Lincoln and I was right.

Interesting photo. What Yankee is that behind Gehrig wearing #3 certainly not the Babe. Probably George Selkirk.

How many guys wore #3 for the Yanks before they retired his number? Can you believe:

Eddie Bockman
Allie Clark
Frank Colman
Cliff Mapes
Bud Metheny
George Selkirk
Roy Weatherly

Selkirk is correct.

Continued with my lucky week of antiquing with a couple of new pickups
The first is a rare small sized Gund NFL Chicago Bears doll in immaculate condition. I have never seen one this size before - the others I've seen are about 14 inches tall, this one is only about 9 inches tall.
Next is an early smooth gutty - gutta percha golf ball.
