    Re: The Dave Kingman Thread

    Posted here are pickups as of today 4/2/15. While this date reminds me of what started as the passing of my mother 25 years ago today and the beginning of that odyssey; at least today 25 years later I can look at the date in a different light. 2 great kids; both talented and amazing young adults... and pictured here 3 great new bats!

    The R161 Kingman and the S2 are both old label H&B's that we can trace to the '78 season by the labeling period ('77-79), and throw 77 out as the #10 is represented on the knob of 1 bat and both came originated from a bullpen coach with the Cubs... the R161 was ordered by Kingman in '78 and '80...the '80 season would have been the new large LS logo so we can pinpoint one or both from '78, the start of 3 seasons with the Chicago Cubs.

    Great find Erik. The K55 is traced to Dave's time with the Tropics in the SPBA in '89 as referenced earlier in this thread. I have a COA somewhere on it from Mike Specht which I think identified the number of bats ordered...(not many). I could hear the excitement in your voice today when you located that in that card shop and called me. I was excited for you! Like anything else; as the space of time increases, finding vintage material decreases. It's a treasure to locate the stuff. Some times you gotta pay up but it's worth it. I owe so many people in the hobby for their time and resources that have aided me in obtaining great pieces. I plan on creating a separate thread just about that...

    Re: The Dave Kingman Thread

    Dave Kingman game used Giants (71-74), Mets (81-83), and Phoenix Firebirds helmets (87).

    All customary flapless helmets, as was Kingman's preference. To my knowledge he never wore a flapped helmet - ever. I have never seen any of his other helmets offered, and I know the collector who owns Kingman's Mets -75-77 helmet and his Yankee helmet; not likely will those ever leave his residence.

    The Firebirds helmet was worn during Kingman's short comeback in 1987. I obtained it in or around 1989 via Robb Wochnick and Sports Warehouse. He told me Wendell Kimm sold him the helmet (Firebirds manager at that time). When I first met Kingman in March of 1992 in Florida he seemed shocked to see the helmet, acknowledged it was his.
