I've been searching the internets for another one with no luck. I see lots of the Japanese programs though.

edited to add: There may have been one in this lot from Mastro in 2006, but it is not shown in any of the pics

Finally landed one of my grail items after a long, long search. I've known about this jersey but wasn't able to persuade the owner to sell until now. It's a 1953 Wichita Indians jersey. I picked up the team picture from the same year in an earlier ebay auction. Needless to say I'm one happy camper right now. Also picked up a couple of newer jerseys I'll post later.

Electric Baseball - Jim Prentice - model 79B

This is actually one of the more rare Prentice games - the seller had a less than stellar rating - but for a 10 buck snipe - I was willing to take a chance - and I "was" amazed it shipped at the one buck selling price.





I was impressed that it still had the written instructions:



Tho not in the best shape - I picked up this 1938 photo of Babe Ruth when he coached for the Dodgers.

It's from TSN and originally from Acme - thus a news service photo - it's dated on the back 1938.



next - artwork for the 1955 Yankees WS press pin:



It included a "white letter" version of the pin - but based on the design, I think it's a reprint from the 90s by Balfour.



And last - a board game - Parlor Base Ball.



On the plus - it has the written instructions, pieces and die, but is missing the more colorful cover. I guess ya can't have everything.

Thanks Dan, I can't believe I finally got it. Also as someone who collects NBC material I've never seen that program either. Thats a great score.

I wouldn't normally post my Saltdogs pickups in this chatroom, but this was such a nice score today I'll use my slightly off topic post here. Picked up 7 game used bats...three are team signed..one has a notation that it was used to hit three homers in one game, one is the breast cancer day pink bat...also got a few game used balls that are good for autographs, and two game used jerseys. All off of a Craigslist ad from a lady who has hosted players for the last decade.
