A few new autographs...
I'm not usually an autograph collector, but I have picked up a few recently...
1. George Detore autograph (played 33 games in the majors between 1930-31 and then in the PCL from the late 1930s to the mid 1940s). At the national this year, a smaller autograph authentication company, ACE, was giving out free autographs and my mom happened to pick it up. I had no idea who it was until I looked him up. I'd say hes a tough autograph! 2. Rugger Ardizoia (played in the PCL during the late 1930s and into the 1950s...Also, made a one game appearance during 1947 to pitch for the New York Yankees). I wrote to him and he was gracious enough to mail back a small note talking about playing in the PCL and against the Colored House of David. 3. Bill Holland autographed album page mentioning him as the first black pitcher to pitch at Yankee Stadium. His autograph is a real toughie and I'm glad to have a early Negro Leaguer that also pitched in Cuba during the 1920's.

August 1911 Baseball Mag w/ Cobb and Shoeless Joe...
Congrats to everyone on this thread for some great items.
I posted pics of the cover of this October pick up in another thread but just today I found this October thread (I'm a newbie!) so I thought I'd post a few of the inside pages of this magazine. Cobb with his car and his kid. Ty Cobb had a heart? Who knew?! Shoeless Joe Jackson in his glory! A great ad for an A's poster for 50c which was quite a bit back in 1911! I'll take 2 please! These are just 3 pages in this thick magazine. It is filled with history including another ad page for 25c posters of individual players and it lists the players including Matty. I was thinking of trying to order all 6 and was going to send $2 just to be fair! Hey c'mon, I'm only 100 years too late on the order!

I've been looking for a catcher figural for a while. This is an early National Baseball Museum and Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, N.Y. souvenir ashtray circa 1939 by K&O Novelties Company. They produced detailed bookends and figurines from gray metal or bronze from 1895 to 1939. Baseball Museum opened to the public in 1938 or 39 and the ashtray would have been a very early piece sold or presented at that time. Although this isn't a particularly large piece, I appreciate the detail and uniqueness of it. I've never seen another.

1938 Goudey Bob Feller Big League Baseball Movies
Many thanks to net54 board member Mike (docpatlv) who sold me this cool Goudey Bob Feller flip book from 1938. As it states on the cover, "Bob Feller puts his hop on a fast one"! Back from when Feller was one of the most popular players in baseball........

Not vintage, but happy to add it to my collection...
Certainly not prewar, but a great addition to my advanced Nolan Ryan collection.
Trivia question: What's rarer than a Nolan Ryan game used pitcher bat with provenance? A game used batting glove with great use and provenance!! I've only seen one that I recall in all the years I've been collecting Ryan. I just picked up this game used Nolan Ryan batting glove from circa 1982-83. It matches perfectly with photos of him batting while a member of the Houston Astros that I have in my collection. This particular glove came directly from the collection of one of the other most advanced Ryan collectors, where it has resided for many years. Ryan certainly wasn't much of a hitter in his career, but what I believe makes this batting glove special is where it came from, it's use, the fact that it's vintage signed. The best part of all is it was used on his right hand (throwing hand). It will be a great compliment to the Ryan game used Astros bat that he signed for me the night of the grand opening of The Ryan Center (Nolan Ryan museum in Alvin, TX) in April of 1999.
