August Pick-ups!!

[Insomniac186]

Attended the Otey Clark estate auction yesterday and picked up a few items but the hats were it for game used. There were a few other game used items such as baseballs and his glove but family members felt they needed to stay in the family and bid accordingly. Oddly enough, they were not interested in the hats.

1941 Moline Plow Boys - Illinois-Indiana-Iowa league
1941 Eau Claire Bears - Northern League

Not sure on the other two. One may be from St Peter Minnesota as he played with them in 1955. Wishing the other would be a St Paul Saints but; 1) he never played with them, and 2) I don't think they ever had a logo with just an "S".

And yes, they are sitting on top of a garbage can. They stink and need to go to the cleaner before coming inside.

Also, thanks to photos I found out that one hat I have of his is not a Louisville Colonels like I was told when purchasing it, rather a 1940 LaCrosse Blackhawks hat.

In total I have seven of his hats. The above mentioned five along with a 1942 Fort Worth Cats (Texas League) and his Red Sox hat.

I would love to see the interiors of these caps! Caps aren't hard to clean once you figure out how. Be careful of older leather sweatbands though. I once had one shrivel up and rip itself right off the cap.

One of my few pickups this month, and I managed to make them into a display with a style matched baseball card. Circa 1989-1992 (unsure of year, but I have style matches on cards from 1989, 1990, and 1991) Joe Girardi batting gloves.

You and me both! I've got quite a few myself - over 10 certified autos, over 30 game jersey (sigh) cards, over 1,000 different other cards and some signed photos I got in person. Penny's my guy. I just need a Penny Memphis Tigers gamer and I'll be thrilled. Oh, and a Heat gamer, a Suns gamer and a Knicks gamer...but mainly the Memphis State gamer.

I think I'm gonna hold onto the gloves for now - this kid seems like a real class act who can actually play - that's hard to find!

I definitely will keep an eye out for a jersey though!

Glad you like the jersey.

at the auctions in Oakland this weekend I picked up cracked gamers from Hideki Matsui, Coco Crisp and Josh Willingham (got them all signed the next day)

and I also picked up TBC used Conor Jackson (he hit a grand slam during the game) as well as the TBC Michael Taylor (not used because he wasn't on the team) and used jerseys from Mark Ellis and Brad Ziegler.
