I just picked up this fan on ebay for $14.00. It was in an oddball location that nobody found. You have already seen the pennant, but here it is again. |

Great fan Mike! And something about that pennant strikes me as a little bit "naughty". |

My luck is holding out lately as I picked up three Western League baseballs today at a tag sale...one is autographed on the sweetspot by Lou Limmer who held the Lincoln homerun record until Dick Stuart came along in 56. |

Happy Day! Not sure what makes me happier this photo arriving in the mail or the U of Nebraska finally firing AD Steve Pederson. |

Dan, I was wondering if you got that or not. Great piece. It would be neat to find that inflatable chest protector. |

Collectors of Cleveland Indians memorabilia (at least the ones I spend time with) know how tough this book is to find, especially in nice shape. |

I just received this surprise today from Dan B. and a couple of his Nebraska Indians recreations. Thanks Dan, that Topeka card is great. It looks to be part of a team set. |

Glad to see you got it Clint. I couldn't find any info on Forrester...you'll have to let me know if you can find anything on him. Here's the other one I picked up. Duff Cooley..I'm guessing there are probably more, and I would assume this to be an uncataloged minor league set (Strawn Photo Company)...I didn't even think to ask the guy where he got them, but I think he'll be set up at the antique show next weekend. |

Dan, I've been looking for a Duff Cooley card for a long time. We may have to work out a trade if possible. Email me. |

Like most all baseball broadcasters, Claude Haring (broadcaster for many years with the Philadelphia A's, Phillies and Pirates) kept score of the radio games he worked. I picked up some of his scorebooks containing hundreds of games that he announced in the 1940's to 1960's. One of the most interesting that I have come across so far contains Satchel Paige's first Major League win from a game while pitching for Cleveland and pitching in relief of HOFer Bob Lemon. Haring has misspelled his name as "Page". |

Dan, I'm glad you got that. I was going to bid on it but changed my mind right before it ended. It's a nice piece. |

Thanks Clint...I noticed when it arrived today that it came right out of your backyard (Wichita)...I hadn't even noticed where the seller was when I bid on it. |

I'd like to thank Dan for this Duff Cooley postcard. He was the first Kansas born major leaguer. I've been in search of a Cooley card for about 10 years now. I only know of three issues he's available in and they're impossible to find. The great thing is it's from Kansas also. |

Got my Hunt's winnings in today...a bunch of snapshots from Mule Haas's estate. I'll just show a few here, but anyone can see all of my snapshots at my photobucket site. |

Anyone think the fellow in the golf outfit up above is Bobby Jones? Apparently his wife was from Montclair, NJ and he remodeled the golf course there in 1935. |

Picked these up less than two hours ago at an antique mall. If I'm not mistaken, the A's pennant is a tough one to find. The condition is exceptional on both but the White Sox is unimprovable. I also found a Tigers pinback from the late 50s early 60s. |

Nice pickups Mike...I haven't seen the KC one before and I used to look for A's pennants quite a bit on ebay in the past. |

Nope...you may be getting Robert Trent Jones(the golf course architect) and Robert Tyre Jones(the golfer) confused. Trent Jones' wife was from Montclair , NJ. |

Mike: Those are a pair of beauties.... makes you wonder how they could possibly be over 40 years old! I love that entire "stadium" series with the mascots above. I think these are grossly under-valued. The A's one is particularly tough... especially with the gold shading. The only ones I've seen (and there have not been many) have all-white graphics. |

Thanks Mark. I've heard other pennant collectors say the same about this series. I'm a little puzzled. What about them suggests they are undervalued to you? Aren't they pretty common? I agree with you on this Athletics pennant. I hadn't seen it before today. |

We need more ranting like that Mark. Valid points all. I guess the demand doesn't always keep up. I conducted a few searches and you were right on. Interesting...veeery interesting. FYI the pennants are available for trade if anyone has Cubs, Yankees, or Tigers pennants or pinbacks available. |

If I collected pennants I would hope that they stay unappreciated and undervalued at least for the time period that I was collecting. |
