July 2011 pickup thread

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.

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.
