Agreed. Cool piece. I imagine its difficult to find a complete set.

This past weekend my dad, my son and I spent the day hitting an estate auction and an antique/paper show, and the three generations of us were all pretty excited by our pickups. First at the estate auction, what had been billed as some old baseballs turned out to be well worth stopping by for. The cream of the crop was a 1928 Philadelphia Athletics team signed ball featuring Cobb, Speaker, Mack etc; for some reason signed on a Spalding National League ball. Then at the paper show, I met up with a fellow Carlisle Indians collector and worked out a trade that we were both happy with - I ended up with a circa 1910 Carlisle Lacrosse team photo, a Carlisle football team photo (most likely a shop team), and a Letter award for playing Lacrosse that is signed by Pop Warner. The most exciting find of the show beside that trade was a very attractive Dieges & Clust Figural Baseball Plaque dated to 1916. Overall a pretty fun day.

I posted this on the autograph forum earlier, but figured I would post as a reply to my previous post here, since I picked this ball up with the 28 A's ball.
One of the other balls that came with this Pesky ball included a 1945 dated baseball signed by various servicemen stationed at Pearl Harbor. The ball in question is a Reach Harridge model ball, with a US Navy stamping. It has 2 signatures, 1 of which is Johnny Pesky. I was curious if any recognizes the second signature? Based on its inclusion with the Pearl Harbor ball, my theory is that a Navy serviceman had Pesky sign this ball in 1945, since Pesky was also stationed at Pearl Harbor at the time. The 2nd signature might not be a player at all, but figured I would pick the brains of the auto experts over here.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Keith

Was happy to get this off the 'Bay for a paltry sum. Has double significance for me as I am from the State College, PA. area AND it was made by the Honus Wagner Sporting Goods Company

Yesterday's antique show haul...heading back today as one dealer told me he's been holding some stuff for me and he forgot it at home. Will show a pic of that stuff later.

WoW! That is a flat out beautiful piece, Greg! I would think that that is one of those things that you just never get tired of looking at it. I know I wouldn't.

I'm happy to fill a challenging hole in my no-hit ticket collection.
I finally found a ticket stub to HOF Jim Palmer's no-hitter on 8/13/69 at Baltimore.
For whatever reason, this ticket has been an SOB to find.

BTW, I now have tickets to 181 no-hitters and perfect games dating back to 1901.

Good one, Scott. Congrats.

Thanks for the clarification on the dates guys, is this a complete set then or are the other pieces to it? Thanks again
