Re: Let's See Some Recent Acquisitions
Here is my most recent add. Pretty excited about it. It's only the 2nd cadet collar uni with detachable sleeves that I have seen anywhere in the past 5 years.

Re: Let's See Some Recent Acquisitions
I'm a bat guy, but with Gehrig gloves being as rare as they are I had to have it.

Re: Let's See Some Recent Acquisitions
Wow! Love the Gehrig glove. Can you tell us a little bit more about where it came from?

Re: Let's See Some Recent Acquisitions
I've picked up pinbacks here and there for quite a while, but I've been looking for them a bit more over the past year. I like the look, variety, and value of them. I believe there are a lot of bargains in pinbacks when you consider the scarcity relative to cards. Every year or two I seem to glom onto some niche I didn't focus on before. I like variety in my collection and enjoy learning about new areas.
My true love will always be bats however.
That is a GREAT Gehrig mitt. I love gloves also, but have peared my collection down from 150 to 50 or so. I still pick up nice gloves when I find them, but avoid the marginal gloves. There was a time where anything pre 1970 would go into the collection...ha ha.

Re: Let's See Some Recent Acquisitions
I'm the same way with my collection...I like variety because I like to display items, and it's a much more interesting display to see variety....as far as adding gloves goes I'm still not picky enough I guess...I still like "old", but when I was offered this lot last thursday for $75 I couldn't say no.
Some highlights in the lot are a Johnny Pesky Rawlings model and an extremely nice Mantle MM9 Model with no ink on it and in almost like new condition. I haven't identified the team on the ball yet...It's a Giles NL ball with Don Cardwell....most of the other names I can't make out.

Re: Let's See Some Recent Acquisitions
Great lot, particularly at that price. Who is on the bat?

Re: Let's See Some Recent Acquisitions
Another Nellie Fox....My third. Although in my defense this one has the 1950-60 labelling and my other two are c1960's.

Re: Let's See Some Recent Acquisitions
I forgot to add that this lot came from a garbageman...This is all stuff that people have thrown away in the last few years. Proof that some people's trash is other people's treasure.

Re: Let's See Some Recent Acquisitions
Also picked this one up for the collection. I love the size of the handle. I couldn't imagine batting with it.

Re: Let's See Some Recent Acquisitions
Sweet Jackson Type bat...who is the maker? And how much did you have to give for it...if you don't mind my asking?
