Great pieces. I am particularly impressed with the pennant. Here is a piece I picked up off ebay a couple days ago. |

Picked this one up from Memory Lane, and it just arrived. Amazing figural is at least 90 years old. Amazing detail, when viewed in person... |

Mark, that is very impressive. You have to be pleased with that. Did you see the figurals of Lajoie, Jackson and Wood Lelands had a few years ago? |

Thanks Clint... Yes I really love this one. According to Memory Lane, it is actually 100 years old (though I am not sure how they can factually make this claim). |

Fantastic figural Mark! Is it made of marble? With pieces like this, I always wonder who it was made for, by who, and what the occassion was. |

Wow.... thanks for all the interest in the Honus Wagner piece! Replies are in order, so I'll handle them all in one shot (while trying to be brief...) |

Funny, my baseball coach in High School and my College Baseball Coach used to say that all the time. I always felt it was annoying and every time they would say it I would turn away and chuckle. Some of the stuff that comes out of coaches mouths in the heat of battle are pretty funny. |

Mark, the paint was described as original on the Jackson. These were offered in the July, 1999 auction and two of them were offered again in the next auction. You can look them up on Leland's site. The auction numbers are 157, 158, and 159. |

Picked up an interesting lot of photos from a seller in NY who recently got these at the estate of a woman named Mary who lived to be 95 and never married, but she had a thing for boys in uniforms. I only bid on the baseball photos, but the ebay seller threw in a heavily perfumed letter from Mary that she must have used to give out to players or military men and another photo of "Baseball Mary"..all of these photos are dated on the back 1939 by the company that developed them. There were other photos that I did not win and I think these all were taken at Cooperstown? Or they may have been taken at Mary's hometown of Gloversville (Famous for PEACH Gloves!!!) Anyone know if the Yankees played an exhibition game in Cooperstown in 1939? |

Lotta nice pick ups posted. Dan Paradis, Boy you're friend's daughter sure did a nice job, I guess that would be a mural?, looks great, very talented! Dan Bretta, those are very nice photos...I like snap shots, they're more personal. Speaking of personal I once saw a cache of small photos for sale at the 2005 National, of Dimaggio that were suppose to have been his own personal photos that came out of his estate. Bill Rosenthal had them for sale, you can read about them in the fifth paragraph of the link below to my 2005 National coverage. |

Great item Carlton and I agree that it's 1880-90s. As far as Joe D's photos go I do have some photos that originated from his estate - there were a bunch of them in Hunt's auctions over the last two years. |

Great photos Dan, especially the one with Elanor Gehrig and Claire Ruth. Below a shot I took at the 2005 National in Bill Rosenthal's booth. The one I probably should have bought was where he's holding his son and you can see his ripped biceps. I saw that later in an ad in SCD, so I think that dealer got it, whoever it was...been a while. You can also see it in a larger scale/closer in on the page link in my prior post. |
