December 2011 Pick-Ups

[mjkm90]

I've been after one of these Connie Mack banks for a long time. This one is in fantastic condition. I had no idea they are as large as they are. I placed one of the common banks we have all seen many times as a size reference.


I was happy to add some new pinbacks as well. The Briggs Stadium pin is a tough one to find.

Mike- That Athletics bank is in real nice shape. More often than not these are found with condition issues such as scratches and dents. I am glad it went to you. Great pick-up, they don't surface too often. Adam

Picked up an interesting Nebraska Indians postcard...the seller did not know these players were from Green's Nebraska Indians..and I had to set my photobucket to private last week so nobody else would figure it out.



I knew as soon as I saw the auction that these guys played for the NI because I already had this postcard in my collection..same uniforms and same exact photo studio.

Not real vintage but I'm jazzed just the same. A signed 1962 Post Cereal card of Roger Maris.
Leaves just Del Webb to complete the entire 61 team.

That's the kind of sleuthing I can really appreciate. This is the fun advantage for those of us that collect "obscure" memorabilia--but it does take some work.

WONDERFUL photo of Vandy, Scott! That bit of light slithering onto his foot and into the dugout is really something else. I know I say it again and again, but it would make a frikkin' cool painting!!

I picked up these photos this month Dean 1939, Aparicio 1956, Newhauser 1945, Huggins & McKechnie 1928, Kiner 1950, Irvin 1953, Lopez 1945, Duroucher 1947, Schoendinst 1955. Getting these took some of the sting out of not being a player in Henry Yee's auction this year. They were a obtained a whole lot cheaper as well.

I was happy to bounce back from the shellacking I took at the Henry Yee auction with a couple of nice lots.
