April Pickups
I couldn't wait to share!
Picked up two awesome pieces for my Yankees collection. First, picked up a Joe Torre 2004 All-Star jersey (I think he wore it)! And one of my all time favorite pickups, a Hideki Matsui gamer! The bat required some help, so this weekend, my buddy and I (mostly him, because I am not actually handy) did some "surgery" and I think it came out great! It was like Christmas at my house!!!!!!!

Lookit this beauty!
 A buddy of mine came over today and I had a pin for him that I paid $54 for...he had some "trade bait"...he pushed one item out...."I paid $20 for this"....another item..."$5 for this"...etc....when he got up to $45 he said "take this off my hands and we'll call it good." The provenance is impeccable...it came from Dick Dobbins, who was the first guy to buy equipment from the SF Giants. They really hooked up the trainer, huh? I can just picture it, full of athletic tape, Ben-Gay and greenies.

Not sure if anyone here remembers that, and not sure if it was done as a "craft project" or with the specific intent to deceive. Fuzzy memory on the details, but it did actually happen.

Yes I remember that well! It was one of the reasons(there were more) I had a big falling out with Paul Muchinsky as it was his, and is the very one pictured in his book # X11 with the pin sticking out the back. And I do believe I let Rob have it for putting it up in one of his auctions with "That creative description" Both knowing full well that there was NO Such Animal! But hey money talks! I do know the item was bought and the winner put a period piece of mirror back in it and it has since been resold.... Might even be the one that Bob bought! Here is mine hard to see but it has the mirror on the back!

Not sure, I’ll have to check into that. ***You are correct Mark. It is Fred Clarke looking on. Photo taken at a game in Exposition Park in 1905.*** Last edited by docpatlv; 04-08-2019 at 10:44 PM.

I usually post on the baseball card side, but I just picked up an intriguing one-of-a-kind (hopefully) photo of Hank Aaron. It's glued onto a scrapbook page, so I may never know what markings, if any, are on the back. I also have just a modicum of info from the seller.
The seller believes the photo to be from 1954 and even suggested that it might have come directly from Hank Aaron. The seller did not purport the signature to be that of Hank Aaron but rather saw it as a caption put there by the scrap-booker. I may never know exactly what this is, but I do feel confident that it's a pretty unique and attractive early snapshot of the Hammer, definitely better than what I would have pulled off had I had my camera in hand on the same occasion. I'll happily entertain any opinions from those of you more knowledgeable about this sort of thing. The only professional opinion I got prior to purchase was from a Milwaukee historian who ascertained that this is indeed Milwaukee County Stadium in the background. AARON.jpg

Cycling
I am huge bicyclists for 40 years and when I saw this, I jumped on it. I normally do not stray from baseball but this was very appealing to me.

1952 AAGPBL Contract
Very happy to add this 1952 Ruth Richard AAGPBL players copy of her contract to my Rockford Peaches collection. This is the second 52 contract that I now have.. .....never thought I would ever even own one...let alone two...especially from the same year. The title word "ALL" was discontinued for the 1952 season and the league was now referred to simply as the AMERICAN GIRLS BASEBALL LEAGUE so this contract was printed sometime earlier. They then just darkened out the word "ALL" for use in upcoming years....Both of my contracts are done exactly the same way. Richard was a star catcher for the Peaches for many years.
