Thanks mike.. It is a prerequisite jimmy, that Beatles lot is crazy good. You have to have one of the premier Beatles collections out there.
Vandy painting is just spectacular...

Gusto-O Baseball Game - E.W. Forney & Co., Joplin, MO

I haven't posted much of anything here but this one is unusual. I couldn't find the game in Mark Cooper's tome and did get some insight at the BB Game forum.

But we're not sure when it was produced - perhaps the 30s?

It's a simple game - where ya set the wheel to the far right until it hits the "stop" - snap your wrist counter-clockwise which shifts the 'counter-balanced' wheel in the same direction - then just look at the arrow for the "outcome."



Unfortunately the box was repaired in the worst way with adhesive tape - but at least it's present in some form - a major plus!



And just as important to a game collector - having the original instructions - and in this case it's also the "playing field" - tho nothing to artistically appreciate.



If anyone has seen this game before or has any information please let me know.

It's the first one I've noticed - the gents in the 'front office' at the Game Forum saw one about a year ago sans the box and instructions - so - as I said - I feel privileged to have both.

Thanx for viewing and thanx for all the posts - I saw some really incredible stuff - as usual.

Great pickup Mike, I lamented bidding on it since I had gone over my spending budget this month. Now I wish I had bought it, I searched High and Low on the internet for this and I believe you may have a very rare game. congratulations and by the way you can see most of my collection on the forum in the mancave room.

Thanx Shale. I spent quite a bit of time going over the pics in your mancave.

It's incredible!

Board games are one of my newer areas of collecting and B,K,W are really good guys and what they've 'forgotten' - I have to learn.

At this point in my 30 years of collecting - I would say board games rank #1 next to my search for all the variations to Take Me Out to the Ball Game.
Cards a distant 2nd/3rd place.

I like the way you've displayed your games - I'm planning to do something like that but don't have the dough right now. Will post pics when I get the job done tho.

Thanx again.

This one arrived today. Although it certainly cannot compete with the beautiful Ruth or Speaker images posted above, I have always liked this picture. I am thrilled to finally own an original Type 1 vrsion of this of Cool Pappa Bell photo. The slug on the back relates to his Hall of Fame induction in 1974.

Really nice, unique photo mike.

Jimmy, Mike, Lance and Ben:

Thanks for the compliments on the Kreindler Vandy painting. It's obviously a centerpiece for my no-hitter collection. I'm thrilled to own it!

Yankee Stadium April 16, 2012 Game Used 2nd Base.

Game between the Yankees and the Twins. Derek Jeter career hits 3104 and 3105. Including 1st inning back to back home runs by Jeter and Granderson.

Not vintage, but still pretty sweet....

Huge pick-ups for both Jeremy and Ben! You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer image of either player, that is certain. Well done Gents.

I just picked-up this 1964 Red Beatles Cap, and a never before seen Beatles retail advertising display for the Beatles endorsed caps made by the Kangol Company (which is still in business today). The Caps are quite scarce, but the 30 x 20 poster and 14 x 9 easel backed counter sign are the first known to the hobby. The caps were made and sold only in the U.K.

I'm stoked!! My Graig Kreindler painting of Johnny Vander Meer in 1938 arrived yesterday. It looks awesome!! I felt like a kid at Christmas when I opened the crate.

Here is a look at it, for those that haven't seen it, along with the original photo that it was based on, that was taken by William C. Greene (NYC) in 1938. Enjoy!

WoW Scott! That is easily one of Graig's finest works to date. He toys with light like he's the creator himself! Just incredible. Please post some scans once it's on your wall. Congrats Buddy
