Awesome that someone's wife will let them have a 10 foot bat inside the house. My vote for possible best wife ever award.

Where does one acquire a 10' bat? And how in heck did you transport that thing home??

I have a banner/store sign of Sweet Caporal that is in storage. It is 36" x 84"

[BrockJacob]

Hmmm....let me think?
Probably this....Heavy canvas banner reading "Baseball Tonight" in painted red letters. Over 18ft long and 3ft tall.
(Please note, the pictures are from the seller's listing. It's days of being walked around on by furry animals are long gone)

A bit OT, but I evaluated that "Dubuque 1879" photo for someone a few years ago - the guy identified as Comiskey is for sure not Comiskey. That's definitely not Jack Rowe, and the Radbourn ID is ansolutely bogus. I wouldn't be too confident of any of the others.

I wonder how these mis-id'd guys would react if they heard who people would someday think they were.

57 1/2" wide x 26" tall
This isn't really my biggest piece but close to...here it is as shot in the Berkeley antiques store as I found it back in July 2009...right by the Berkeley Bart station...and still stored away don't have it displayed yet...It's just such a monster I haven't figured out how to deal with it...I believe it was originally displayed on the side of a S.F. cable or trolley car.

Maybe they would cover their ears when photographed to preserve the mystery...?

My wife just got this framed for me...nowhere near the size of some of the other cool items on this thread but pretty large for a 19th century print. 31" x 26"

[Exhibitman]

1950s Wrestling poster for Primo Carnera



I've also got a 1984 Los Angeles Olympics flag but I don't have a photo of it.

[Runscott]

Some of you have items larger than the biggest wall in my condo.

Adam, that poster looks like about 5" x 5" on my screen - surely it's much larger?

Scott, the first time I took my daughter to Disneyland she was about 2 and she spent the whole week talking about meeting Mickey Mouse. We went to the mouse house in Fantasyland and waited an hour to see Him. She freaked out when we finally got into His office. Crying, hiding, screaming in terror. We left and after she calmed down a bit I asked her why she was so scared. "Daddy," she said, "he was so big." She thought he was going to be 5" tall like on TV, not a six-foot giant rat.

The proportions on the computer screen are not true to life, just like the men inside the tv aren't really tiny men. Or did that just blow your mind?

I was just wondering what size it was. Are you trying to tell me that if you divulged the actual size, I would run screaming from my computer?

Extremely jealous. Would look great in my bar.

[Runscott]

Adam, I'm still curious about the size is of that poster. I assume it's large since this is a thread about large things.

[Directly]

I see someone in their eyes thinks my 1879 photo isn't right. I am sorry it is.

Hi, While I'm not aware of many in existence, I have seen a few come up for auction in the past year or so at the major auction houses and at least one on ebay so keep an eye out.

Any guesses on the cost? A grand?

Original Yankee Seat courtesy of Sir Jay Wolt.

Bonus- David, not from Yankee Stadium, but certainly worth showing. It was part of a vintage sign, got it at the big flea market in Paris.

[David Atkatz]

Nice!
