Great stuff Carlton. I don't know what is more impressive the figurals themselves or your ability to find these and add them to your amazing collection. That billiard piece has to be one of my favorites. Wow!!

Really nice, Carlton... a gorgeous figural piece. Is there any sport you don't have represented? Swimming or diving, maybe... wrestling?

Great stuff... makes me want to branch out beyond baseball. The heart says yes ; the head (and wallet) say no!

Default Johnny Vander Meer WWII photo

ksfarmboy Clint did something very nice this evening. He gave me a neat WWII Navy snapshot of Johnny Vander Meer in Guam. Vander Meer is crouching at the bottom left in the snap. This is an excellent compliment to my 1944 Army/Navy World Series ticket from a JVDM win.

Thanks Clint, that was a very nice surprise. I really appreciate it!

Mark, Scott and Adam....thanks alot for your kind words I really appreiciate it....after what that seller held me up for I could use a pep talk LOL....Jimmy negotiated one month for those incredible Ruth photos...I got him beat.....9 months...antiques dealer/lawyer gal vs poor little Mexican boy...I suppose it was a draw....unfortunatly she knew what she had! I've been so exhausted when I come home from work this last week, today my day off was the first day I really had to examine closley...dusted it off with a cuetip swab...we're starting to bond

Mark, no wrestling but I do have a couple divers...see one below, it was hidden behind the Bruno Zack ice speed skater.

Tomorrow I pick up my first Oct piece...I paid part down last Alameda Point show and will pay off and p/u tomorrow....so I better get to bed.
