A couple of great pickups this week...
Two great pickups this week:
- Circa 1940's original cartoon artwork of Johnny Vander Meer by Cincinnati artist Russ that was a regular contributor to News of the Reds. This came to me from fellow net54 collector Laughlinfan. Thanks Marty, I love it! Dimensions are approximately 9" x 14". - Another tremendous pickup for my advanced Walter Johnson collection. A terrific 1929 steel tipped fountain pen 3 x 5 of HOF'er Walter Johnson. One of the nicest I have ever seen. Thanks Greg (Gnaz on net54)!

Something new
OK so I picked up a nice little picture last week and finally got it today.
1923 World Series Game 5 10/14/23 By Paul Thompson. Showing Joe Dugan scoring on his inside the park HR in the botom of the second inning. Whitey Witt and Bullet Joe Bush scored in front of him. Babe Ruth is standing by pointing to the plate, as he was on deck behind Dugan in the lineup. Also pictured is Hank Gowdy catching for the NY Giants, Home Plate Umpire HOFer Billy Evans, and batboy Eddie Bennett. Pic is approx 7x9. http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1...140NYA1923.htm

Thanks Jimmy.
I thought it was a pretty cool pic as well. It's not in my usual collecting realm, but I made an exception. Don't worry, I'm not gonna start collecting Ruth. I haven't decide if I'm going to keep it long term, but I'm enjoying it for now. My newest addition was a gift from the wife. She saw me looking at in online and told me she wanted to buy it for me. 1935 Gehrig with his wife singing to him a song she co-wrote. It's a very warm piece. The type I really enjoy.   I've seen the sheet music but haven't gotten one for myself yet. Best, Mark

============================================== A friend sent me an email a couple of weeks ago regarding a few really neat 1960's Beatles items that he recently discovered at his Father's home. My friend told his Dad that he had a friend that was a Beatles collector. His Father told him to make a deal. Several days later, these arrived.  This large poster c. 1965 Beatles Live at Shea - Film for all who weren't lucky enough to see them live, they could catch the movie at select theaters. And just how cool is it that the 3 Stooges "short" was the opening act for The Fab Four! The second piece was this terrific Beatles Wallet still in it's original packaging! I just love stuff like that.  Both of these pieces literally hadn't seen the light of day for over forty years!Beatlesshea.jpgbeatleswallet.jpg And boy, was I surprised to find a bonus piece he included.  This sweet c. 1975 Poster that was surely meant to grace the walls of your neighborhood Music Store. As you can see, it displays all of the albums the Boys produced as both from their years together and through their solo careers up to that point, which was 1975.Ya know, I really like my collection... A LOT! But it's the friendships that are forged, and the memories you have from them, that will stay with you long after your collection has been sold... BeatlesalbumsPOSTER.jpg

Scott,
That's a very nice one. He did some really nice work. I just realized I have one of his of Gehrig as well, from about the same time frame. Mark

Boston Red Sox Locker Tag....
I am anxious to find out more about this..... It will be fun to see what I can discover.... I am pretty sure that it belonged to Lefty Grove. It could have been used on an equipment bag of Lefty's... Perhaps carried with the team when they played their away games. I don't know yet for sure...
